Where is the city/state leadership?
Tonight's curfew in Minneapolis was for the cops, not the protesters

Sad to see.
One tragedy follows another.
Don't look for any enforcement leadership in Atlanta.
Leaders of Atlanta enlisted rapper Killer Mike to calm the nerves of the African-American community.
You can't make it up.

3rd degree murder charge. 3 accomplices to the murder haven't been charged. And a black man named Mohamed Noor is in jail for killing white women. Dont know the story/details. JK look it up and inform us about this Noor case. Sounds like racial injustice but I don't know. There's been so much racial injustice for way too long.

This is disgraceful. It needs to be Police Policy that if one Killer cop gets indicted, ALL that were with him and let him do it, suffer the same fate. Might encourage the good cops to actually be good cops and the Blue wall that protects the scum to crumble.

This is day 4, they failed every day, do nothing, abandon their posts, allow looters to roam the streets, enforce no laws. At least in other cities the police are on the streets, here they're gone - in hiding.
Far left liberals in charge caused this. Their hearts are with the looters.

I forgot, no one can make a decision in BR's world until Trump says something. This way, BR has someone to blame from the top.
I should go to work now before the nazis burn down my city, thanks to a rogue cop 9 hours away. Trump gave me the all clear.

the real reason the person arrested did a crime. If the person had a good job probably would not of broke the law. Problem is congress / presidents / wall street .... they are the ones that moved jobs out of the country. Education system could be better too.. Look at US test scores vs japan & china in math and science.

Killer Mike is right, CNN doing nothing but feeding hate and no hope into society needs to end.
Read the posts from the CNN crowd around here, they are full of hate and anger. Just drips out of them in every post.
And yeah it was a great speech but wonder how many younger kids will have focused on his 'KILL YOUR MASTERS" shirt over anything else.....
Sigh.
Still, more voices like that from the black community would be great......

Killer Mike is right:
" I’m tired of seeing black men die. He casually put his knee on a human being’s neck for nine minutes as he died like a zebra in the clutch of a lion’s jaw, and we watch it like murder porn, over and over again."
“That’s why children are burning things to the ground — they don’t know what else to do. And it’s the responsibility of us to make this better, right now. We don’t want to see one officer charged, we want to see four officers prosecuted and sentenced. We don’t want to see targets burning, we want to see the system that sets up systemic racism, burn to the ground.”
“We don’t need a dumbass president repeating what segregationists said: ‘If you start looting, we start shooting.'”
Sadly, those that really need to hear his words, don't. They will continue to lie and hate and wish for the death of anyone who disagrees with their cult master.

There is a fundamental flaw when you think that looters can have their way, knowing they won’t be arrested. They are not protestors, they are THIEVES. Would you let those people ransack your house or business? If no, why not? They have just kept their people down for another generation. Would you rebuild there, knowing the government doesn’t have your back if another riot occurs? Think how high insurance will rise now.

Apparently, the chief of the Minneapolis Police Department doesn’t subscribe to the adage, “Some things are better left unsaid.” He’s cleared the way for more looting by admitting it’s too dangerous to send officers in to stop it.
Chief Medaria Arradondo’s startling admission came during an interview with KARE-TV. He said, “Right now, our main priority for our officers there are the safety of those who are out there. And so we need to make sure we’re providing safety and protection for them.” The surprised interviewer responded, “I’m wanting to make sure I’m understanding you correctly. So what you are saying is that it’s too dangerous for police to directly confront the looters?” Arradondo’s response: “Absolutely.”

it doesn't even occur to him(and the mayor and governor) that there is no reason for the looting and burning to stop if the criminals have zero fear and no chance of being caught.

Why even have doors on the businesses, they just get in the way.

Ironically I watched LA 92 on Netflix last week about the LA Riots. The LA cops took the same stance until the Korean business owners took it into their own hands. Only then did they go in and protect the businesses.

Great video drink.
His name could be in reference to his ability to "kill" other rappers with his words.
Going to the violence route first means you are of a single mindset.

Will this video reach cnn or foxnews?
Thanks for checking in, Drink.
I was mocking the name "Killer Mike."
"Killer Mike" was enlisted to calm the situation.
The password (in hushed tones) is INCONGRUOUS.
Additionally, his "Kill Your Masters" t-shirt doesn't resonate with me.
Just me.

9 out of 10 not in the rap world wouldn’t get the reference. It’s still a bad look to the masses.

Is everyone here seriously this out of touch with everyday reality?! Does no one here watch television outside of fox news?
I am so lost everytime I log onto these forums nowadays.
Killer mike is a political activist and huge supporter for Bernie Sanders both in 16 and 20. Outkast remember played the super bowl? Dungeon Family? No one grew up listening to hip hop here?
Yes Kill Your Master is the mindset he has been asking for literally for 20 years. Run the Jewels? Does no one listen to new music in the last 10 years. Apple commercial with his family? He owns a ton of barber shops.
I'd think everyone here was playing a huge joke on me. Lebron James the shop on hbo Atlanta Editions last year?
Nothing ringing a bell for anyone here?!
Always enjoyed Killer Mikes ability to express deep intellectual political and social opinions with such a witty light sense of humor
