How it started: The below news item from May 26. George Floyd was murdered on May 25.
From PBS
What We Know About George Floyd's Death in Minneapolis Police Custody
The police officer who was seen kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, the black man who died in custody on May 25 following the exchange with police, was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on May 29. Derek Chauvin was fired following the incident, along with three other officers. A bystander video captured Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, despite his pleas that he could not breathe.
The account from Darnella Frazier, who filmed the now-viral video showing part of the police encounter and said she watched Floyd being suffocated, differs from that of the police, who said Floyd was stopped because he matched the description of a suspect in a forgery case, resisted arrest and then suffered “medical distress.”
The incident has prompted investigations from state and federal authorities, an apology from the city’s mayor and comparisons to other uses of deadly force against black Americans, particularly the death of Eric Garner. It has also sparked thousands to pour out into the streets of Minneapolis to protest, largely around the intersection where Floyd died. The gatherings were a rare sight amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has kept most people in some form of isolation for weeks.................
The police force
of the dying empire has been trained by the IDF of Israel....
that's something one should never forget. The Palestinians get
this kind of treatment every single day.#cdnpoli

Yes, such actions
are also used by US police force who are trained by the Israeli police
force or the IDF. These training contracts are awarded to Israel by the
Governors and Mayors who then pretend to be shocked when applied in US
on the US citizens. https://t.co/Zw7zqI6pdV

Why do American

training?
The question must be asked. #minneapolisriots

The
"land of the free" has never been anything of the
sort. Not only was the US built on genocide, slavery and land theft; the
protection of free speech and a free press has always been a myth.

It was great to c
@cnnbrk
get attacked by ( black Americans n well-meaning white folks ... AND
mixed in that group an underlying element of white supremacists, agent
provocateurs aka cops bent on mayhem,etc).
CNN thinks it fools

Mainstream US
corporate media outlets are state media, they just also send all of
their profits into the private pockets of rich capitalist stockholders
while churning out propaganda for the US national security
state.
CNN, MSDNC, Fox, all US regime mediahttps://t.co/aC1wGa4mFJ

Drones being used
on you. Riot gear first exported to authoritarian states being used on
you. This is why you need to care about foreign policy. Those of us in
the developing world--we are laboratory rats. It starts with us. It
finds its way to you.

“Protests turn

being pushed forcefully to the ground by cops dressed in riot gear.

This isn’t people trying to kill the

This is people trying to prevent an arrest, and

Below yet another disturbing tweet with vid that shows the "national guard" (ex soldiers) skilled in killing and bullying people in the Middle East and Africa) now trying out their embedded skills on Americans. Chickens are coming home to roost, yup!!
'Light
'em up - light 'em all up' -- the EXACT phrase
used as a kill order in the US Army's Apache helicopter attack
on Iraqi civilians in the 'Collateral Murder' video
released by @wikileaks
- with no accountability, it has all come home. https://t.co/GHkJ8zSpF9

I gotta be honest
the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few
weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in
stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check
and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..
