This video shows initial compliance followed by escalating slight resistance (after handcuffed).

There is no justifiable reason to cut it off before #GeorgeFloyd was on the ground, or before the officer kneeled on him, so there must be something that someone is hiding from us. https://twitter.com/timcast/status/1265689866261663746">https://twitter.com/timcast/s...
Important comment

Police cannot & will not focus on the suspect if there are other potential threats close by

#OTOH citizens should record cops & if necessary intervene

This is a self reinforcing feedback loop which results in rising tensions & may have cost this man’s life https://twitter.com/1776PROUSA/status/1265547025350877184">https://twitter.com/1776PROUS...
This is #PoliceBrutality, cruelty, cruel & unusual punishment, & a 42 USC 1983 violation.

The correct answer is to record & intervene.

During training, every officer should be shown this & informed that anyone shooting that officer in defense of another would be justified. https://twitter.com/DailyMail/status/1265821957364350976">https://twitter.com/DailyMail...
The sad reality of many of these situations is that not enough of the event/altercation is recorded, the videos are often selectively edited, & later videos sometimes reveal a different story.

Increased availability & use of body cams & dash cams by civilians can help. https://twitter.com/the_nanook/status/1265770873233059842">https://twitter.com/the_nanoo...
This is BS! Granny shouldn’t be attacked. She also should have known better than to go out in this #Riot
I hope she at least had the sense to be armed, & the will to use it if necessary #2A https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/1265860082408943616">https://twitter.com/mrandyngo...
Interesting aspect to review later:

This guy:
I have seen references to a “white guy with long gun & brown pistol” but hadn’t seen any pictures or videos yet.

1) Appears to be #Hispanic
2) Interesting that he is holding his #HandsUpDontShoot in this situation

I would appreciate more info if anyone has it. https://twitter.com/sophnar0747/status/1265823527657226243">https://twitter.com/sophnar07...
They aren’t really that afraid, secure in their castle.

This is of note to certain people. https://twitter.com/sophnar0747/status/1265830585253220358">https://twitter.com/sophnar07...
If people stop calling the police on black people, it will be because they decided that it is easier to deal with a “missing jogger” than with the riots, threats, & bad publicity that come from publicized altercations.

How many blacks have heard of “shoot, shovel, & shut up”? https://twitter.com/ceoerickhayden/status/1266015197711523842">https://twitter.com/ceoerickh...
There are rumors of cops/other bad actors starting fires to escalate this & tarnish the protesters.

This person appears to have copied the antifa shopping list, but stands out because others are not dressed alike.

Unless detained, it is unlikely we will ever know who he is https://twitter.com/wearetrr/status/1266022531158421505">https://twitter.com/wearetrr/...
Don’t tell me that lockdown economics, boredom, & a media pushed racial narrative aren’t contributing to the worst #BLM race riots since #Obama https://twitter.com/TheMongoose0861/status/1265866901529473024">https://twitter.com/TheMongoo...
Some have even wondered if some of the elites want to keep people cooped up to cause mischief & chaos. #CuiBono #MinneapolisRiots https://twitter.com/RemovePritzker/status/1266021735209537536">https://twitter.com/RemovePri...

Looters should be shot

Businesses should leave

If you & your community won’t support local people & small businesses then expect to become a #FoodDesert

This is the lesson of LA 1992

This is the lesson of #MinneapolisRiots https://twitter.com/ericdjuly/status/1266383594085322753">https://twitter.com/ericdjuly...
Because it has been encouraged & shown up at many previous protests, black bloc is the de facto uniform of anyone wanting to stir up trouble.

Even a lone wolf could go in black bloc & expect to find at least a few others wearing similar gear.

Some have suggested that police giving up the 3rd Precinct to rioters/looters is a sign that armed #BoogBois will have an even easier time revolting.

To the contrary, armed revolution will never be as popular.

Any .gov target will dig in just like our .mil did in Iraq, etc. https://twitter.com/fredwatsonii/status/1266025044561530881">https://twitter.com/fredwatso...
