I suggest a reference to Tariq Jahan should be made.
Curtis Hayes has tried his version. |

Just a couple of bad apples. And about 50 more bad apples that watched it happen and did nothing. And an entire police command that thought they could get away with lying about it. So pretty much a whole dept of bad apples then https://twitter.com/lookingforkb/status/1268771830808150021 |

The president has said that protests following the killing of Mr Floyd have "dishonoured" his memory, while he has threatened protesters with violence and his re-election campaign has used footage of memorials and other demonstrations for a video titled "Healing, Not Hatred". That video was removed by Twitter following a copyright-infringement claim.

The two scumbags who did this (pushed and punched a 75-year old man to the floor, leaving him lying in a pool of blood from a severe head injury) have been suspended from the force. The response of their colleagues in the "Emergency Response Team"? They have all resigned from the ERT en masse in a show of support of the two suspended thugs. It's not just a few bad apples, this is systemic in some - all too many - US police forces. https://twitter.com/DaveGreber4/status/1268977512320819203 |

I originally read that as they resigned in support of 'the protestors'.
Rereading it made me do a double take.

Burn it down --- literally. With fire. Just leave the small businesses and innocent people out of it. Obviously I would choose a better solution if there was one. But until somebody does come up with a better solution that it's petrol and matches all the way. |

Sorry, edited it to make it clearer. Absolutely astonishing isn't it? And so brazen. This, and the brazen beatings in front of cameras, including beating TV reporters holding those cameras, is the behaviour of a gang of thugs that is used to getting away with murder. Literally |
