Started to watch it because I wanted to see the lead-up, but didn't bother after seeing it was heavily edited.
Skip the first minute. After that its the raw video footage (with narration). They do edit out parts where nothing is happening, but it has all the key incidents from multiple cameras.
America may claim to value Equal Opportunity, but it does not deliver.
What distinguishes the USA from Europe, in reality, not in some delusional self congratulating image of itself, is that you are less socially and economically mobile in the USA than in Europe.
Trump just wants to keep this happening which is why he favours the rich, gets upset when the black community ask for freedom and justice, but has no problem with gun toting white fellas defending their privilege.

It should at least tell you that no matter the numbers on this forum, yours is a minority opinion in the real world.
I have one of those conditions, it's called needing to breathe on a regular basis
Le, why do you think more blacks than whites in America expect success to be handed to them?
That was the preliminary report. Two more released yesterday tell a different story.
Possibly true although I didn't assert it. Many poor are content with their lot, but yes there are more poor blacks than poor whites, proportionally speaking. But about 23 million whites living in poverty and about 9 million blacks.
From what I understand the social security system is not as generous as ours so perhaps that contributes to volatility. The cultural malaise of ghettos referred to earlier is difficult to break out of. Did whitey contribute to the creation of ghettos? Yes. Does the average black start behind the average white in life? Yes. Do blacks have cause to feel resentment? Yes. Does any of it justify this rioting? No.

Fair enough. You have to assume someone in a responsible position such as medical examiner is not producing paid findings. The cop's in strife then, isn't he?
You didn't need an autopsy report to know that. The video is more than damning enough.
Trump has all but declared martial law, "one beautiful law". There is a real possibility we are seeing the beginnings of a dictatorship. That he will rig the November election and have precedent to use the military against anyone who protests.
Oh. My. God. What a breathtakingly privileged and ignorant statement.
yep, Im no physician, but I had drawn the conclusion his appendix hadn't burst
that's his end game. maintain power at any cost. He would have masturbated to thoughts of himself as Military Ruler for a fair while now.
He a scary, dangerous, *smile* when he isn't cornered.
Now he's cornered.
You only had to watch the video of an unresponsive man with someone's knee on his neck for over 8 minutes to realise that contributed to his death.
