@Barry Woods don't wait, or this will continue to happen. You have "free will," right? So is it there for you to do nothing and wait?

For some of us, it's much longer than 5 years. Hell I still haven't forgotten James Byrd Jr. & how THAT was a fight for justice. That ish was horror movie level gruesome & that's just one of the more known names of victims of racism. When there weren't cameras, well let's just say there's a reason we use to call them "One time" & "Jakes" as in "Jake the Snake".

THIS is why we're mad. Not just because it was the death of one or a dozen. But the injustice of hundreds

Emmett Till was lynched by white men, 1955. The women whose husband did it has since admitted she lied on the stand for her husband. When cops can kill black people, racist white people think they can too. Ahmaud Arbery 2020 was a HATE CRIME. It should be charged as such and those men should be put in the prison with the largest black population....oh wait that’s ALL OF THEM. Bc we arrest black people for NOTHING. Yes, we! America! White america! As the daughter of an Arab immigrant my white privilege does not extend to my own father think about that for a second and let it sink in

"Dead ass" is the weirdest slang term of all time.

Arguments** not talking points, conservatives are the ones with talking points, you should be able to see the difference in this video, that’s why Jon Stewart is so great. Here’s an example: Eric Garner is a big guy, bigger than the police officer trying to arrest him, shows a bunch of people sharing the same talking point Jon Stewart: starts with a few jokes that makes it ridiculous that this is a talking point, and is debunked because there were 5 cops taking him down, while showing footage of them wrestling with him and pushing his head into the ground, it makes sense if he were dangerous than having 5 police officers taking him down would make sense Anyway it’s so weird we live in a country where police have the authority and power to arrest you at will and at any time they deem necessary and we just have to accept giving up our freedom without even asking why we’re being arrested and being given an honest answer, everyone understands why someone who is truly dangerous should be arrested, but it doesn’t really make sense in a country that loves to say it is part of the free world

@@dng2usb Very profound, as has been said "short but pointless" The people of this here USA can march (and whine) until the fucking cows come home. Shit similar (if not the same) is going to happen. We need to deal with it when it arises. Unless you disband the police and enter into chaos. Sometimes shit will happen most the time to whites, but nobody (and I mean nobody) gives a tinkers damn then. I support our police they get the "shit end of the stick" When and if they screw up this must be dealt with. But through our court system. It is all we have and not by the general public that has no idea (really) what went on. Count on the media for the answer. Their answer is to prop up ratings, period.

@@michaelmarsden8549 Thanks for countering my "short but pointless" quote with a longer but equally as pointless "analysis", but since you decided to address me, I'll engage you with an analysis of my own. Spoiler alert: it's LONG. Your suggestion is to keep things status quo? Ridiculous. Society cannot be irresponsible by sticking its head in the ground and ignoring the systemic nature of these events as isolated incidents as you suggest. The system is broken and needs to be addressed now instead of when it's either convenient for YOU or if YOU happen to be on the wrong end of a "rogue" cop's knee/baton/gun. No one I've heard said to disband the police (why do people go to extremes to support their arguments?). I agree that the police have a terrible image among society, left OR right. They only ever get called out to respond to the worst humanity has to offer and not ever to the best it has to offer, BUT THAT IS THE JOB THEY SIGNED UP FOR. If anyone should "deal with it", it's them. We didn't sign any of them up for the job and AFAIK there was no draft or mandatory conscription for police duty in this country. If they're not strong enough to do the job (or are just plain power-hungry assholes) and are likely to lose control, why does society need to wait until they fuck up monumentally to get rid of them? Some of them even have rap sheets/list of prior conduct violations of their own (specifically Chauvin and Thao in this instance). I don't wait until my tires blow out going 80 mph on the highway before I change them out. People need maintenance just the same. The police "code" of covering up for bad cops just indicts all cops, tarnishing the reputation of the occupation. There are solutions bandied about to reform/support law enforcement that involves both screening out the authoritarian/violent/racist types and mentally/psychologically supporting the good ones. I know most conservatives hate social programs funded by taxpayer money, but there needs to be a support system for police officers who suffer from PTSD or those who develop certain "mindsets" after years on the job that go against their primary objective of protecting and serving EVERYONE, not just some. The police system is basically funded in a socialist way anyway, so let's put those funds and more to use in better ways. THAT'S how we really should be supporting the police, but I'm curious how YOU support the police? To the point of "shit happening to whites" and society not caring as much, sorry, I'm not sure if you've noticed but "nobody gives a tinker's damn" about "black on black" crime either, which equally doesn't get reported by the news. Usually, if this type of violence is happening to white people, it's a white cop that did it. As long as people of the same race are killing each other, then the issue of racism doesn't exist. To the point of "...the general public that has no idea (really) what went on": damn near the whole altercation was caught on security cameras and phone video (curiously enough, no body cam footage from any of those cops...were they wearing any? hmmm). I think we've pieced enough of it together to figure out what the fuck happened, but what do YOU think we're missing? Lastly, to the point of letting the court system deal with these assholes, it's too bad George never got that chance (or Ahmaud or Eric or Michael or Breonna or Tamir or Trayvon or ... or... or...).

It's a cash grab that you're defending because you actually think they're supporting conservatives when they're really just manipulating them to get richer.

@@AllThroughALife Typical G(Q)OP/conservative/republican BS. I used to for a little while back feel sorry for these people (the "innocent" supporters/viewers) that only got lied to and manipulated to believe something so utterly false, having lies, hate and bigotry showed down their throats all the time, getting gaslighted and manipulated to a point of quite literally becoming brainwashed, but now.. I stopped having any single shred of sympathy or understanding for any of them. My *former* little piece of sympathy only included regular citizens, not all these political hacks and conservative media-folks, they *know* what they're doing very well. They have always been disgusting, and they'll continue being disgusting and *harmful.* They're literally dangerous. They've always been harmful politically considering their anti-immigration views, "pro-life" views (aka pro-controlling women and them reducing women to nothing but a baby-making machine, with *zero* regard for the carrying women's health *and* the fetus' and babies' health both in the womb as a growing fetus and that baby's well being after their born), anti-health care views, anti-tax(ing the wealthy) views, pro-war views, anti-lgbtq+ views, anti-equality views, anti-infrastructure views, anti-accessable voting views etc. They've *always* been directly harmful with their politics, but they've grown even more visibly dangerous over these past years. They've not only taken their already anti-PEOPLE views to new, even scarier heights, they've now become *deadly,* especially these last about two years considering their "handling" of the pandemic, ramping up police brutality and military actions *against* their own citizens, ramping up their heavily discriminatory voting laws against POC, and of course the deadly insurrection (terrorist attack) killing and injuring many people. Conservative media's propaganda is only becoming more and more deadly and corrupt. ANYONE who STILL supports these people have now become just as bad. It's gotten way past the point of them being able to be excused by how they've constantly been lied to. ANYONE who doesn't understand this yet are now (almost) equally as much to blame as all these corrupt politicians and media people. By this point, they just can't claim to have been blindsighted. They too know what they're doing. It's way too flagrant and obivious at this point, and they too have no excuse what so ever. They WANT the discrimination, fear mongering and hate to continue. They don't want the world to become a better and just place for everyone. They want POC to have no voice, no women to have their rightful autonamy rights and choice over their own body, they just want (and need) to push everyone who does not agree with them to have no (equal) rights. They want discrimination, white supremacy and hate to keep thriving. They want everyone who's not them to have it bad af. There's simply no way to excuse any of them anymore. They *all* know what they're doing, and they don't even try to hide it anymore. It's disgusting, point blank. It's too disgusting for me to even come up with anything more to say. It's just disgusting. Smdh. I just hope karma kicks in before it's too late.

The only thing that changed is a pandemic that forced people to stay inside and finally, finally, reflect and realize that things like this shouldn't be tolerated.

Nah, what's disgusting is how much people have ignored this. Police brutality has been a thing for decades, but I reckon that the only reason people are so pissed now is because of everything else that has been hammering our social conscience -- Coronavirus, the daily Democrat/Republican shit, all of Trump's "wisdom", mass shootings, the growing wealth disparity, etc. If things were going good in our country, people would likely also forget about George Floyd pretty quickly.

I actually think the system is working much better now. None of these cops were charged in 2014 and now the cop who killed George Floyd has a second degree murder charge and the cops that were with him are charged as well. Much, much more needs to be done but it's good to see some progress!

Keith Olsen that happened because the protests kept going and spread nationwide. if people weren’t sick of the system, things would go on working just the same.

@@exoscalmfan191 Well Eric Garner's brutal murder was also video taped, went viral, picked up by media outlets, his murderers went free. Now all of the cops who attacked George Floyd were fired within hours of the incident, after it went viral but before the riots. Again, we've got a long way to go but if we're not happy about this progress we'll never be happy about anything.

@Blue Calla Oh I definitely agree, that's actually my point. First, the justice system was incredibly quick like you said. The officer was charged before most protests even started. Second, out outrage has actually changed things and upgraded it from 3rd degree to second degree. Neither of these have happened in the past, so that shows progress. I'm not saying the system works well, just better than it has in the past, especially when compared to Eric Garners case.

@@GrammeStudio simmiliar situation I 've had

Protests are great, I'm glad they're happening

@Lame Duck There's little evidence to suggest that protests are the cause of the spikes considering areas that are protesting and maintaining a quarantine order are not seeing a spike while areas that are protesting while having business as usual (literally business as usual, like the places where people work are still operating like normal) are seeing a large spike. Admittedly, part of that it is difficult to test since these we don't really have a laboratory to do the testing in but as far as the data has shown so far, there is no clear correlation between covid spikes and protests. I saw a different article I remember liking better earlier but I couldn't find it so here is this one I do like just not quite as much as another one (it's also possible the other one wasn't as great as I remember). www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-evaluate-coronavirus-risks-from-black-lives-matter-protests/

@Chris Cipollini Does anyone read the thing posted one comment above them in a chain three comments long? Why do I even bother?

@@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat in addition to what Lame Duck said, there's another thing to consider. Perhaps like you said theres no "clear" correlation between protests and covid spikes (even tho Lame Duck provided good counters to the article you linked), but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not happening. We already know for almost certain how covid spreads and how it's transmitted, and crowds of hundreds of people all yelling and being near each other is definitely not helping stop the spread. Even if the majority of people at the protests don't appear to be sick (could just be asymptomatic), they can still spread it to others. Maybe you don't care because you're young and healthy, but what about your parents or grandparents? Or that nice old lady who lives on the third floor of your building? Or the elderly mailman you see every morning? You have to think about others, not just yourself. I'm all for social change in this country, and what happened to cause all this is extremely tragic, but people have to realize that covid didn't just up and leave once we started protesting. Last couple of days have seen record high cases all across America. We have the privilege of the internet at our fingertips, use that for social change, instead of being out there prolonging this horrible virus.

@@krazykhajiit9110 I live in Texas and I would like to point out that I am not advocating a careless spread of the disease. I have asthma (inhaler sitting on my desk right now), a somewhat weak immune system, and horrible allergies; asthma runs in my immediate family and autoimmune disorders and a weak immune system run in most of my extended family. I do not want this virus spreading at least as much as anyone else but I do have two things to point out. First, any spike we are seeing is going to be difficult to separate from the general spike that is happening when states decide to reopen because they don't really give a shit about human lives (sorry for the vulgarity). I don't think Texas ever saw even a slight flattening, much less a decrease in cases, but we have definitely not hesitated to reopen. Second, there really hasn't been evidence of protests increasing coronavirus cases as far as I have seen and that is what I was talking about. I generally don't care a whole lot what the explanation is if the thing that is being explained just isn't happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm with you, I don't want any more cases of this virus either and I think at least half our elected leaders and all our businessmen would see us dead from the virus before their precious stock falls but I am also unwilling to tell people to stay at home and not protest police brutality without clear evidence that the protests are causing covid to spread. I understand what you mean about advocating for social change online, but I just don't see it as effective really. Maybe I'm mistaken and I certainly hope I am on that front (I am legally blind and haven't been to a protest myself because of a lack of transportation) but I do not see online activism as a functional replacement for protest.

4 years is a drop in the bucket of history. Not a surprise at all that this is still relevant. You really could say that these events have led to the dramatic response that finally happened now. Honestly, you can trace these problems back for 100's of years, if you want to.

Because as a species, we'll never change.

@MaybeNextTime I have a strong feeling that you like others have been posting the statistics that implying more white people are killed even though those don't take into account proportions and actually black people are 3x more likely to die

the problem is they should never be relevant but yet they always are every single day

It is relevant because those who claim to be outraged about it don't do anything about it, like VOTE

Exactly. I'm worried about the media painting these cops as monsters. They obviously aren't abnormal deviations. "Average" cops do this shit all the time - they're just "lucky" if they "only" injure or permanently damage people and don't kill them. As the protests continue, the police continues killing unarmed civilians and inciting violence.

Plus a lot lesser things: general hassling, false arrest, threats. Maybe those types of events are not newsworthy, but they accumulate. And what accumulates is mistrust. So then persons of color are generally regarded as probable criminals by the police, and the police are generally regarded as oppressors of persons of color. Then, once in a while, a more dramatic event comes to the fore, "Isolated" incidents, in some respects, but connected by an undercurrent of fear and mistrust.

AMEN!

We just hoped after 5 years there should some kind of progress

It keeps happening because not enough people who claim to be outraged by it actually vote.

When this country actually becomes a representative democracy for the people and not just the elite. aka when winner takes all isn’t part of the election process and money is taken out of politics, via democracy dollars or something similar. This all might sound oddly specific, but like Obama said in his recent essay, this will all be forgotten and in vain unless we make our demands as specific (and pragmatic) as possible.

@Ing M Behind the Scenes are the only great thing about TDS 2.0. Trevor's insights are as deep as a glass or water and his commentaries are painfully pandering in nature.

@Goodtimes as a Brit and a great fan of Chris Morris, I must disagree. Any topic can be joked about and satirised if it's done in the right manner. You should watch "The Day Shall Come" some time, it's a pretty great movie. Or you could delve into Chris Morris's earlier work, perhaps look at the Brass Eye special "Paedogeddon!".

HE SPENT FIVE YEARS IN PRISON FOR BREAKING INTO A PREGNANT WOMAN'S HOUSE, BEATING HER WITH HIS PISTOL, AND ROBBING HER AT GUNPOINT. HE HAD MANY OTHER THEFT AND DRUG OFFENSES ON HIS RAP SHEET AS WELL. AND BY CHOOSING CRIME HE LEFT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER TO GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER, AS WELL AS FOUR OTHER CHILDREN GEORGE FLOYD WAS STONED ON METH AND OPIOIDS WHEN HE TRIED TO STEAL CIGARETTES AND RESISTED ARREST, AND THE POLICE FOLLOWED THE BOOK ON SUBDUING AN AGGRESSIVE RESISTING DRUG CRAZED CRIMINAL. THERE WAS NO WAY THEY COULD KNOW HE HAD THE CORONA VIRUS, NOR SHOULD THAT EVEN BE AN ISSUE. IT IS A HUGE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE AND RACISM THAT THE POLICE ARE BEING CHARGED FOR DOING THEIR JOB TO KEEP SOCIETY FREE OF HARD CORE CRIMINALS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF COMMITTING CRIME. GEORGE FLOYD BROUGHT HIS DEATH ON HIMSELF. THAT RACISTS ARE MAKING HIS DEATH AN ISSUE OF RACE IS THE ONLY RACISM HERE.

It's like me complaining that I want a new job yet several years later I still have the same crappy job because I haven't DONE anything about the problem just talked about it

instead we have Tulfo Bros. who's polar opposite of them. 😭

Mga strong man na hilaw bros. 😔

@Crocoshark hi, i liked your comment, but to make it clear, it was more of a "I... I guess?...kinda?" than a "I like your comment". good luck in life.

@Will Pack Not just then. Watch Hasan Minaj's take on this, it's really interesting. Voting is important on a local level, too. You get to elect much more than your president - police officials, too.

They’ve learned nothing.

@Will Pack Really? I voted for Obama and nothing change.

@Will Pack I want people to vote too, but for who? Trump? Hell no! Biden, with his racist crime bill, racist wars, etc? Hell no, again! It's time for people to stop saying "third parties can't win" and make it happen. According to the Gallup Poll, a MAJORITY of Americans want a new party, but DON'T KNOW we HAVE ONE! (Thanks, corporate media!) So spread the word, tell friends to check out www.gp.org and build a party that's based on progressive movements, instead of corporations. That would be radical (from the Greek word radix, meaning Root). We need to get to the root of these problems!

Really. I actually spent a few minutes resolving the date, the subject and the fact that it was Jon Stewart. Isn't that disgusting?

@@Semmster how did you not realise it from his loosks? (no offence) ,but he now looks thin asf

@@kumbaya69421 you get wooshed here often?

George Floyd was a criminal not a martyr

@@dogdayafternoon9551 how does that in any way justify his murder

That's the reason why Floyd case became a national riot week, people no longer see a possible change on the way

@@bvaldes3703 I wish we could get everyone else to realize that before it's too late, because we're one incident away from the police starting something that no one will be able to stop. I mean; they have our backs against the wall because if things don't change this time, all out violence is the only option left.

You forgot the in betweens

@@patamakka08 my bad. We don't get as much news about them here in Italy. The similarities between this case and George Floyd's were striking though and John's words are valid then as they are now

@Will Pack So getting a dem or rep on charge will materially change things? If you doubt of the answer as you should, that was exactly my point

yeah

luvcheney1 Yes, obviously the liberals are at fault for wanting to tax sticks of plant material known for killing 1/3 of it's users. They're the obvious culprits in this particular case of a man being murdered with a choke hold. You're a fucking moron.

luvcheney1 High taxes on tobacco products are to counter the added pressure on the health system that tobacco related illness causes... Nearly every developed country in the world has a high tax on tobacco. But I guess in CheneyWorld there'd be no tax on anything, but you'd have to pay to use everything... Like the hospitals, the schools, the roads, the water, the fire department, the police right? Libertarianism at its pinnacle. Every day I thank God I don't live in a such user-pays society. The fact that in every post you make you assume you know what "Liberals" think, in a completely un-thought out way and the fact that you have the dumbest name on youtube makes me think you're a troll. Shoo troll! Shoo!

***** You think that you shouldnt pay for what you use? Who should then?

Parneli Jones not only do I think I should pay for what I use, but I think I should pay for what benefits society, which is what libertarians don't get. And I think we should pay for these aforementioned things through taxes. For example, I benefit from having a skilled workforce in our country therefore I'm happy to have my taxes go to education.

Its been happening every year for decades!!

Did we ever really leave?

This is America. It takes a lot for us to change. Too many lives.

Yep. Which is crazy. An asthmatic and obese man with a heart condition should be peanuts for 6 strapping, young cops... They murdered an unarmed invalid. 😢

Do you think five years is a long time.?

And they wonder why people are so fucking angry ready to tear shit up and burn shit down, when their cries have been ignored for hundreds of years.

@@normanbeaulieu4204 I suppose thats relative. But to be clear this has been going in for much longer than 5 years. And it seems in the last decade weve actually moved backwards as a nation. Its disappointing.

400 years....

@@normanbeaulieu4204 For the change being asked for? Yeah, it's a long fucking time. Tell me, if I was murdering one member of your family every day, would waiting 2 weeks for me to stop be a long time to you? That's a dumb question. Like the one you asked.

Yeah... you know, even if you consider that some of theses deaths had to do with asthma or other diseases (which I doubt), maybe the police should consider that they don’t know the health status of the people they are approaching and that they should use safer techniques What I mean is that I know it’s just a bullshit excuse, but it’s a very poor one, and if you think about it, the conclusion should be that the police should be even more careful

You deserve some kind of award 🥇 for “copaganda”. That’s like the word for 2020.

you win the internet with copaganda

it's like they're trying to absolve themselves of the issue by fat-shaming somebody remember when alt-right dips tried to pull the same shit on Heather Heyer just so they wouldn't have to come to terms with the fact that their ideology drove somebody to run over a regular ol' protestor? they were like "ah, no, she did of a heart attack right before the guy hit her with the car."

@@PaperMario64 oh we've been saying copaganda for awhile now. its mostly used to talk about cop tv shows but applies to the words out their mouths too!

At the end of the day, it's a battle of wills. Your will to do the right thing, vs their will to hold power and dominate.

I hold on to hope that a lot of things can change, but that's not one of them... ^^

Has any republican been on the right side in recent times?

@@kaixiangloke5513 Not at all.

If i was sean hannity i would definitely invest in self defense classes, his face screams "punch me!" I cant believe no one has spencered his ass.

😂😂😂😂😂

"go on....Sensei?" LOL

James Dick bruh 🤣

Déjà vu?

Reminds me of when I went to a local mechanic called "the cowboy." I left my car at his garage for about 45 minutes and got a call to come by. Cowboy rattled off a TON of shit that needed fixing that I couldn't do myself. Me: "Jesus..." Cowboy: "Jesus ain't gonna fix your car. I am."

You ever watch The Wire, and if you did, do you remember the BNBG phrase used by the cops?

Damn right

regardless, fuck them both. pieces of shit.

Humza Mir yes, i agree with your statement!!

Good point...I really want to beat the shit out of anyone who doesn't acknowledge we have a major problem with this case...so sad how that turd Guliani was mayor of fucking NYC

Youre correct, and I would argue both of those white men hate African-American based on statement and actions of theres,but for them to agree was odd

It is, it's just different.

Wut ... This is complete bias, how is this not biased?

Mike Hawke He is stating the facts, how is it bias, unless your a butthurt republican

carson bishop There is no fact that this involved racism. Therefore his argument is a bit biased. My political views shouldn't matter.

He's liberal. Any view could be said to be biased... An impartial view involves saying both sides of an argument but making no conclusions... Bill Maher is a more adult Daily Show/Colbert Report I think. Actual discourse between republicans and democrats often takes place. I love all satire though.

Mike Hawke WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS DOESN'T INVOLVE RACISM, there is a video of a man committing murder, and they dont do anything, if its not racism what the fuck else could it be

"Anyone who disagrees with me is a racist."

Yes let's all brace ourselves.

Eric holder?

Vincent Fenner this.

ShamanNoodles you

A sleeper hold has the bend of the elbow directly over the windpipe, with the other arm wrapped around the main arm to act as a pry bar, to give mechanical advantage towards squeezing the sides of the neck by pushing the head forward, cutting off blood flow to make the person pass out. The hold MUST be immediately released the instant the person goes limp, or else you risk causing the person brain damage or death. This absolutely is not a sleeper hold that police and military are taught.

Rudy G

Ghouliani was on the wrong side of history during 9/11 as well. He was only "in the streets" because he put his office in a building that he was WARNED not to, and was out in the streets after the attack because his office was destroyed, as predicted. FUCK that prick!

That's what happens when you're related by blood to your wife.

His entire life.

Rand Paul too

she has been harassed and is in therapy. oh and they had to move. She is only 17y/o

@@hellojari07 I wish I was surprised by that....

The way the cops treated Ramsey Orta is really fucked up and what is even more fucked up is that the system failed to protect him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Eric_Garner#Ramsey_Orta
