Which is why he has to take the fall and take it hard.

They have no problems making examples out of us. Need to do the same to him or this shyt will happen every time now.....

Ends justify the means....

EXACTLY. Too many people (including docile blacks, smh) now trying to focus on the effects (rioting/looting) with out focusing on the cause.

Damn they just closed the west end mall and kicked everyone out

I'm pretty sure they are racing to protect every mall right now in Atlanta. They are also setting up parameters around police precincts.

I don't necessarily agree with the rioting and looting but I'm not going to sit here and condemn those out their doing it either...ESPECIALLY when I'm sitting here watching them set the damn play up to let those cops walk free in Minnesota, so another black man killed and the white person(s) that did it just gonna walk again. If you don't see this coming, you're blind as fukk.

I'm from the Westside of Atlanta and went to BTW, the SAME high school school MLK went to and I'm VERY thankful for his service. However, I was sitting back talking with some of my best homies last night (two of which are current officers for APD and are both from the Westside as well) and we all know that peaceful protest shyt is useless. The young people that you saw out there last night know that shyt is useless too and they ain't trying to hear that shyt.

Anybody talking like metro Atlanta today is the same black city as it was 20 years ago is being unreal with themselves. Gentrification has driven black people out from the city who has for years been begging for cleans parks, decent schools, neighborhood shops that aren't liquor stores, a quality place to get groceries, etc.

So while I don't cosign the looting, I damn sure ain't dropping no tears over Lenox Mall, Phipps Plaza, Centennial Park, or any of these other corporations (Target, Starbucks, etc) having to rebuild stores. If they gave a actual fukk about black people like they care about having the almighty black dollar, they would have spoke up long time ago. But they ain't gave a shyt because the dollar still coming to them. And yes, I understand black interest has been/will get caught in the middle of this but no revolution in history has been pretty. NONE.

So fukk it, this is were we are today, people are sick and tired of being unheard, sick and tired of systematic oppression, sick and tired of whites killing blacks with no repercussions. So sick and tired they can't be reasoned with and ain't nobody trying to hear this peaceful protesting while singing "Lift Every Voice" 50 times shyt. So how bout we stop focusing on the effect that's taking place now and start focusing on the causes that's driving it...

BTW, we're on the clock until the next time a cop do some more stupid shyt. Them fukking up Buckhead should put folks on notice that the longer you stay silent, the closer the ruckus is going to get to your door.

Great post. And if the piece of trash isn’t convicted (and maybe even before then) then god help us all because then things are really going to burn.

To anyone concerned about the coroners report. I am too, but I’m trying to take some solace. Even if George didn’t die directly from the knee on neck, the official cause of death would not have occurred without him being brutally knelt on for so long. So that action is still the direct contributor to his death.

I’m hoping against all hope that we see a conviction on all charges, and the other 3 officers at bare minimum need to be charged with failing to do their duty as peace officers and law enforcement officials to attempt to stop a murder from happening.

I'm more interested in the end game, then the journey. Police gonna think twice before they beat the next brother and that I can almost assure you. Don't let the media distract you from the end game.

That needs to be the outcome. I’m anti capital punishment to the core. But I’m so angry that I really wish some cops would get the death penalty (or at least have it on the table during trial) to really let their brothers in blue know that you can lose your life if you murder the citizens you’re supposed to protect.

Police across the board generally have terrible training but it’s no excuse. They signed up for the job and Therefore should be held to higher standard than regular citizens. If any 4 people without a badge did to George what those cops did, they’d all be in jail and awaiting trial right now.

It’s crazy to me that citizens can Justifiably take a life in self defense and end up having to defend themselves in court from manslaughter criminal charges and civil charges from the family of the deceased; at the same time cops can kill people that are completely unarmed and defenseless and they get every protection possible.

Things have got to change now.

They create the storm then get mad when it rains.

And this is why I'm smiling. If this is what it takes to stop the police brutality then so be it...
