Minneapolis protests over murder of George Floyd. Police response more severe than when white supremacists stormed capitol. (See Threadmarks to help)

Already done.
Protesters need to surround them in turn. There's a lot more citizens than there are cops.
Sorry if this has been covered but what does the number 12 represent in all this? I seen it as graffiti numerous times in these videos.
If the people of that city legitimately cared, they would have voted differently. This recent murder wasn't the first sign of trouble. It's been going on for a long time.
Didn't Ferguson start out the same way, or am I confusing it with a different event?
What are people supposed to do? The Rodney King verdict was almost 30 years ago. There's a new video of police murdering black people every week. The time for peaceful protest is long past us.
I'm not sure what it is. And besides the fact of being black...
Klan outfits always creeped me the fuck out. Besides them being 100% worn by cowards their aesthetic just seems like something out of a horror movie.
Fuck the cops.
OF 
Lock Derek Chauvin and Bob Kroll, then melt the key to make "fuck you" plates to put on their cells.

Just a head's up for folks that might want to share things on social media. Be careful to not share anything that might show a good look of faces of those protesting. We do not want another situation like in Ferguson where a lot of protesters died from "accidents" over the past few years.
Feds and cops have been levying assassinations and bombings on us for ages. Don't think it's a tactic that suddenly became unfashionable. Do what you can to protect the people on the ground.
Yeah I’m pissed that police are prioritizing themselves over the community. Just hope justice and as little harm to any people caught up in this. I’m just sad but also just kind of frustrated with this thread in general. I don’t know what else to say I guess I won’t say anything else because as a white liberal no here gives a shit what I think anyways.
Not sure how many. I keep seeing 6 mentioned.
Why Are So Many Ferguson Protesters Dying? Activists Wonder if They're Being Targeted
Since the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, six prominent demonstrators have died under mysterious circumstances, leading some to wonder whether they're being targeted.

Their outfits are both creepy and ironic. Like most shite supremacist standards, they stole it from somebody else. The pointed hood was originally worn by Catholic penitents as a public display of repentance for their sins. Later on some inbred fuckwit in the South came across them and thought they'd make a great uniform for his degenerate brethren.
Thank you, and thank you to everyone else who chipped in.
Sometimes you lose a couple of buildings if people are to be heard. They can be rebuilt. Meanwhile if the protests were 100% peaceful they would have been ignored and pattered out. I bet you wouldn't even remember them, but, you'll remember this won't you?
The Klan started at a time when ferocious racism was in plentiful supply but not actually a part of their low rent Shriner/Freemasonry clone (it was just assumed I guess since it was very much a “Southern Imperial “ and therefore de facto pro slavery deal. - I’m not sure when the uniforms were created but it may have pre-dated the rebooting/evolution of the weirdo gentleman’s cigar and spanking club as “dollar racism store”
I understand, but at the same time this has been escalating so much and sadly this is history repeating itself several cities burned until the civil rights act passed. Clearly there needs to be a mass fairness in policing act passed or something of this nature to finally put a stop to this shit and hold police accountable for their actions vs civilians.
Don't want turn this into too much of a derail, but the clansuit is a near identical low rent copy of the Nazarenos' ceremonial robes.
It really is fitting that the most iconic thing these shitheads are associated with is something they copied.
Yep, it's pretty widespread in their ranks. A friend of the family was a firefighter in Boston and just couldn't deal with the amount of racism and abuse he was subjected to over the course of a decade on the job. Eventually it became simply too much and he abandoned the profession.
Sickening stuff.
Convenience and privilege. It's a dangerous combination.
Couldn't agree more. Nailed it. Though I would add self professed "progressive" to this as well.

race relations in america would be significantly better if more white people realized this
Thanks for posting the petition and donate page, I signed, donated and donated to BLM. My wife is a person of color, my in-laws are, my nephews are. This has to end.
Don't mean to derail your derail but is that Málaga?Don't want turn this into too much of a derail, but the clansuit is a near identical low rent copy of the Nazarenos' ceremonial robes.

This is the type of shit that is absolutely infuriating.
Annoyed about brick and mortar over the concern of people that look like me being murdered by the state.
No idea but the Nazarenos are only active in Spain so probably.
That I knew but for it to be as recent as the Ferguson protest? Jesus...
Nothing has changed, they just had to be sneakier about it.
Yes and no. People involved in those movements have died in weird ways, but there's no evidence that they were tied to their action protesting and a lot of their friends and family have asked people not to spread the theory. This episode of This American Life does a good job of explaining the situation.

In general it's probably a good idea to help keep people's anonymity intact anyway
We shouldn't have to care. Especially if you have more to say about totally replaceable property being damaged or stolen than the cops getting away with yet another murder
It's been this way forever. The ruling class will oppress
Police protect wealth.
This is disgusting. They really don't give a shit about POC. They made their statement. Their stand.
Modern day KKK is what they are.
Here's the thing that every bootlicker likes to ignore. You choose to be a cop, you don't choose to be black.I know I just posted this, but you all HAVE to fucking read this article.
Just look at this aged like milk quote:
Nekima Levy-Pounds' Fight for Racial Justice
How a mother, attorney, and occasional rapper named Nekima Levy-Pounds became one of the most prominent and divisive civil rights leaders in Minnesota.mspmag.com
Understand that a city can be rebuilt, but not a life. When shit like this happens, it's because the people are not being heard and this is their response.
As MLK put it succintly:
So it rings hollow to tut-tut their actions as if justice will be met by them doing the same shit that has allowed them to be oppressed and silenced.
