even though he/she didn't mean to harm you? People please think before you act!

It depend on situation. In a riot, why would a normal person approach you and try and touch you when it is clearly announced for all the clear? It is the responsibility of the public to clear immediately. Their job is to clear, they are not there to reason or debate. Unless one day riot police is sent to debate lor.

Rioters disrupting peace aside do you agree the HKers and African Americans riot for one common reason? That they felt wronged by the authorities.

If so then why do you think it's wrong? People are just fighting for their rights.

You still don't get it. Fighting for their rights can but you don't go disrupting other peoples livelihood, creating instability to the country, beating people up, obstructing transport system, burning the MRT etc. You want to fight, please go ahead and fight but don't affect others with that stupid action of yours if you think is correct. There are people around you and you dont live alone in this world and it is damn selfish to possess that mentality to create public mayhem.

if you can't do your job, or do it with your hands tied behind your back, then it's better to quit.

let someone "better" take over.

Or let those who think they can do your job better do it. But most times, they won't want your job, just want you not to do your job. Haha

All the protest because police cannot use excessive force and abuse their authority.

I think these policemen have not got the message.

They don't watch TV? They don't know what's going on?

They don't know why people are so angry?

How out of touch can these policemen be?

People are burning cars because of police brutality.

So what so they do? Brutalize a 75 year old man.

Welcome to Trump's USA.

 

Who is this elderly man ?

Quote

 

His name is Martin Gugino, and authorities said he was taken to hospital, where he was in a stable but serious condition on Friday.

Mr Gugino is a longtime social justice activist in Buffalo, according to advocacy group Push (People United for Sustainable Housing).

He "has been a tireless fighter against injustice of all types for many years in our city both with Push and other grassroots organisations," they said in a statement, condemning police for his treatment.

 

Well, you can be sure he will do it again next time.

Which bit of violence works you don't understand?

If singing kum by yah works to end police brutality and black men dying

then even I will be singing kum by yah.

You need to live in the real world where things only get done when there is public mayhem.

No violence no one sacked.

Violence all 4 sacked.

No violence no one charged.

Violence one charged but only third degree murder.

No violence the other 3 not charged.

Violence the 3 kenna charged.

A bit of violence Murder 3 charged.

More violence move to second degree murder charge.

What kind of message are the sending?

The more violence the more action taken?

This is just encouraging more violence.

No one heard Mao's famous saying?

All power comes from the barrel of a gun.

If there is a better way to get change then I would like to know what it is.

Now US is enacting laws against police using choke holds.

So many black men have died before but only now they doing it?

Could it be all the riots on the streets bringing change?

Got another possibility. Got people put those seat belt adaptor, so the car's sensor will always detect that seat belt is belted up, and won't emit warning sound.

One friend did this. He's the guy who got bang'ed almost head-on by an ah pek whose license was suspended...

Luckily he walked away with only minor bruises. Now he religiously puts on seat belt ALL the time.

Factory Discarding COVID-19 Swabs Produced During Tour By Unmasked Trump: Report

A Maine manufacturer of COVID-19 testing swabs said it’s discarding the entire output created while President Donald Trump toured the plant without a mask, USA Today reported.

A representative of Puritan Medical Products did not say explicitly that the action was due to Trump’s lack of any protective gear during his tour Friday — but no other explanation was offered. The swabs are being tossed as manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand for the critical for COVID-19 testing swabs.

“The running of the factory machines is very limited [Friday] and will only occur when the president is touring the facility floor,” the company’s marketing manager Virginia Templet told the newspaper. “Swabs produced during that time will be discarded.” Temple did not reveal how many swabs would be thrown out.

So what do all these protesters want, besides the criminal elements ?

Oh I know, all police should be blacks.

Then when police brutality occurs, they can't protest for "black lives matters"

[Kb27]

This case is all about racism. When a black man gets killed, and the "killer" is white...boomz !

This is not about justice. Justice is served when the perpetrators are arrested and charged, not bcuz he's white or other colours.

Even a blackman does not see George as a hero.

Arizona Rep. Walt Blackman: George Floyd Is 'Not a Hero,' BLM Is a 'Terrorist Organization'

Arizona Representative Walt Blackman wants you to know that George Floyd was a criminal, not really a good person, and definitely "not a hero."

Not that he thinks Floyd deserved to be killed by a police officer, mind you. The Republican lawmaker from Snowflake — who, like Floyd, is black — points that out every few minutes in a lengthy video he posted to Facebook and Twitter today.

But the main theme of the video is that Floyd has a criminal background and "the left" should not put him on a pedestal.

In the 47-minute video, Blackman is seen obtaining information from a viral video that right-wing activist Candace Owens published on Wednesday with essentially the same theme. Blackman rips the idea of putting Floyd's face on a T-shirt or portraying him as an "upstanding man."

"This individual is not cotton candy," he says. Floyd had been sent to prison five times, and once held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman while committing a home invasion with accomplices, Blackman says.

He admits "some people are going to be pissed off at me" for his comments, but "we shouldn't stand for this ... he is not a hero. He had a criminal background, he had criminal intent."

Crazy country. How to know who is a peaceful protester, a looter, a drug peddler, an armed or unarmed person, etc etc?

So much for the full fledge of freedom that they have. Freedom w/o responsibility is like America. Chaotic.

Yes. NBC is left for sure.  I watch NBC's news broadcast on YouTube on most days but only for first 10-15 minutes. I spend more time reading on CNBC after Bloomberg capped free access.

 

Thanks for sharing.
