So what that tells me is the police chief arrested over 600 people who were exercising their constitutional right to assembly and protest. But the real telling thing is how stupid the chief is to blame looters on the death of an individual which caused the protests. Does he have trouble with linear time?
What is that fool saying? How is the death of a man killed by a cop on the hands of looters that are looting during the riots of the man who was killed by a thug cop? Some people are trying so hard to shift the focus and blame off of police violence and brutality.
Here is what I just re-learned from this video: if George Floyd was in LA, where this this chief polices, George would have died sooner and we would have no footage, because the cops would have killed the videographer as well.
Marz Edge Actually he does makes sense cuz looters are degrading George Floyd reputations, looters are basically bunch of opportunists looking for excuses to do crime! LOCK ThEM up...chanting
I’m still not following the police’s logic. “We are violently attacking your black and minority communities. We disproportionately arrest, commit acts of violence, and murder people in your communities.” Then when people respond with violence, they say, “I’m sorry you guys are horrible. Why are you being violent. It’s only okay when we are violent towards you, not the other way around. You can’t retaliate or show any violence only us.” I know that the looting and damage to the community sucks, but I still value human life over property. I don’t like looting because i know there are many opportunists who are looting, but the rage people feel if they are rioting and looting is valid and if we were keeping score, how many officers would have to be murdered for each innocent life taken away? Again, property damage is better than murdering people, and instead of seeing property damage as the source of civil unrest, look into your own violent acts that you keep committing again and again to black people and other poc.
I do not condone the looting but... "Nobody in the world, nobody in hystory, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them". -Assata Shakur
Fire him. He’s part of the problem. Genius’ like him need to be purged from EVERY facet of public service. This guy’s ignorance is horribly similar to “you know who” .....
Only cops who have done bad themselves think cops who murdered George Floyd have done little or no wrong if they walk from this AMERICA will EXPLODE and rest of world will react too!!!!
The bad apples are the sergeants and chiefs who the frontline officers and rookies look to for guidance. I have served in the military and worked for security companies and I can't ell you how many times I have had an instructor say something along the lines of, "Between you and me and these four walls, ..." or, "This is not official, but if it gets out of hand use....." There's always that caveat that if no one is looking, kick the fucker's teeth in. I have heard that kind of talk in training classes all my professional career. That's where it begins and that is where it needs to stop.
How do you get someone's respect who only respects violence? It seems to me that the only time the cops value our lives or respect us is when we do the eye for an eye.
70/700 (10%) people were looting, yet he said "we didn't have protests last night, we had criminal acts". What about the 90% that weren't doing "criminal acts"?
I hate it when they say that. They always say it way too casually, letting you know they aren't going to do anything about it. They are constantly in denial when a protest occurs cuz they don't want to change their friendships with these racists.
Ok looting is not helping the protesters and is being used by trump to detract from the point. But allow me to play devils advocate for a moment, is it possible that a small percentage of the looters are unemployed because they're part of the 40 million Americans that have zero financial help and are trying to survive? I'm not condoning looting in the slightest but I'm just raising the point that some not all of the looters might just be trying to support their families. Also in terms of the protesters I have seen countless footage of protesters actually stopping the vandalism and the looting. So I guess what I'm saying is not everything is so clear cut here.
If all you guys were so f'ing honorable, reasonable and professional, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING - IT'S ALL ON YOU GUYS! WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE, MURDER IS ILLEGAL NO MATTER WHO THE MURDERERS ARE! ILLEGAL, WRONG, HEINOUS, ATROCIOUS, AND ON AND ON!!!
@@keepernod2888 There you go again having such difficulty in understanding the premise of the comment. Don't give up bot-breath- eventually it will come to you- maybe.
It wasn't a death, he was killed, and his killing came before the protests not after so there could not possibly be even remotely or indirectly any kind of cause and effect.
Hey Mr. "police chief", if you think we need change, and are against those out there doing violence and destruction, how about you make the first move and arrest any officer involved in beating up peaceful protesters, or trying to run them over with their cars, start investigating officers under your command, who in the past have assaulted black people for no reason and so on. If you do that, then we can talk about appropriate forms of protest.
No no it did not happen this way. What really happened, is, a guy was killed by a police officer, THEN people started looting, not the other way around.
SOMEBODY IS UNAWARE OF HIS JOB ... this is a professional ? who thinks that the death of Mr FLoyd is because of looters ? YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL BUDDY
No place for this type of garbage.. This police chief needs to be fired immediately. There is no excuse for this repulsive type of behaviour coming from law enforcement. But at least now the mask has been torn off from one police chief and the evidence is on video once again.. He can't claim he misspoke either.
As I always tell my son, I knew a lot of smart kids back in High School...but not a single one of them ever told me, "I want to to join the police department after we graduate."
Disgusting, he shouldn’t have this powerful position if he sees his own civilians that way. You can advocate against violence in a more accurate and nuanced way with not so much effort, so what’s his excuse?
This man needs to be removed from Office immediately; he is trying to change the narrative completely from the Police to those that are acting out. Yet, he makes no statement about police WS police brutality. The Mayor needs to remove him immediately.
Sooo what you mean to tell me is that there were no protest because 10% of your arrest where riot/looting offenses??? So the other 90% tied to just protest doesn't account for anything? I mean am I missing something in this equation???
Police departments are huge cash cows for local governments. They bring in so much money and revenue for your local government they've been able to keep property taxes on wealthy homes and businesses low for decades all the while maintain city funding by organized highway robbery of the poor through over aggressive police tactics and municipal fines that are exorbitant. The city fathers protect the police because they bring in the cash and they are protected by a powerful labor union that controls a lot of local political power.
Who profits from systemic repression of working poor? I'm not worried about looting in the streets. I'm worried about boardrooms looting the treasury and the police perpetrating violence against peaceful citizens.
This is what happens when a country becomes ungovernable, and the USA has become ungovernable This is the perfect scenario for a strongman to take power and restore order. Americans are in a fight for your freedom.
This shows nothing will change in America. My heart goes out to your country...imagine going through all this just to go back to the starting line. See you guys again next year when you repeat this
Once he equivocated protesters w/ the officers who murdered Floyd, the only way I could make it seem more bearable was by imagining him trying to make that statement w/ a knee on his neck.
I love Anna. To be honest Anna is the reason I love the TYT. She ain't wit da bullshit. Anna and Roland Martian should do a show together. Call it Keeping it Real.
WTF does looting have to do with Floyd's murder? He should be arrested for stupidity.
JB JG with you
It wasn't a looter whose knee was on Floyd's neck. It was a cop.
If citizens pepper spray the police its battery but if police do it it’s a paycheck
Good one
Looters did not kill the man. Policemen did. People are just dog tired.
he does not understand chronological order

He said three sentences and all of it was the dumbest thing ever.
so 10% were causing damage, and yet "we didnt have protests".......i guess we'll ignore the other 90%
Here is what I just re-learned from this video: if George Floyd was in LA, where this this chief polices, George would have died sooner and we would have no footage, because the cops would have killed the videographer as well.
what a slimeball. he doesnt care one bit about honoring anyone memory
On looters. ? That doesn’t make sense at all. Is he mentally ill ? 😂 🤦♂️
Well he's fine with killing people so there's got to be something wrong with his head.

Actually he does makes sense cuz looters are degrading George Floyd reputations, looters are basically bunch of opportunists looking for excuses to do crime! LOCK ThEM up...chanting
Nobody was looting before his 'death squad' was putting the knee in some guy artery.
don't think about it too hard it was probably a coincidence that he died at that moment.
I don't let myself be lectured about "violence" by a member of a gang of murderers. Thank you very much Mr. "police chief"

We disproportionately arrest, commit acts of violence, and murder people in your communities.” Then when people respond with violence, they say, “I’m sorry you guys are horrible.

Just under 700 arrests... and 70 were looting. Pretty small ratio to claim this wasn't a true protest. Dumb
Goes to show the low standards it takes to become a police chief.
I do not condone the looting but...

This is why we should require Police Chief's to at least graduate High School, words matter.
Sad but true.
Many criminals in cars have been convicted of attempted murder when using the vehicle as a weapon...why not charge those cops?
how can the reaction to a murder be responsible for said murder?
It doesn’t make sense.
Only cops who have done bad themselves think cops who murdered George Floyd have done little or no wrong if they walk from this AMERICA will EXPLODE and rest of world will react too!!!!
So that's 10%.. That leaves 90% who aren't looters..
How can something that happened before be caused by events that take place after? This guy is a real rocket scientist
Because he's obviously a ridiculous person.
Unless the looters had a time machine there's no way they could be the cause of Floyd's death
Did I miss something here, was there looting before the murder of Mr. Floyds?
It's almost as if being a bad apple is not a bug but the feature
The bad apples are the sergeants and chiefs who the frontline officers and rookies look to for guidance.

That's where it begins and that is where it needs to stop.
How can an act that occurs after his death be responsible for his death?
How do you get someone's respect who only respects violence? It seems to me that the only time the cops value our lives or respect us is when we do the eye for an eye.
Looters didn't kill him the cops did!
I always naively think our nation can't get anymore ignorant or racist, and then stuff like this happens.
I absolutely second that!!!
70/700 (10%) people were looting, yet he said "we didn't have protests last night, we had criminal acts". What about the 90% that weren't doing "criminal acts"?

That LAPD Chief is an insult to the City of LA & the memory of George Floyd. He should be fired immediately.
Wow! He needs to be fired immediately!
That police chief sounds incredibly ignorant and inarticulate. Good grief!
💯💯💯👏
Ignorant meaning willfully ignoring... Yup sounds about right 👍🏾
PEOPLE MIGHT STOP LOOTING WHEN THEY FEEL THEY'VE BEEN TREATED FAIRLY.
The guy should be fired for being stupid if not for anything else.
There sure seem to be a whole lot of "a few bad apples" among the nation's police.
I hate it when they say that. They always say it way too casually, letting you know they aren't going to do anything about it. They are constantly in denial when a protest occurs cuz they don't want to change their friendships with these racists.
What about the cops doing the same thing , looting and starting fires!
They need a new chief of police.
Yes we do
FIRE HIM. HE'S ONE OF THE BAD COPS
The police officer choked him and we falsified the autopsy to try and cover it up, but it's your fault.
In that case, can you also say that ‘cops attacking or antagonizing protestors are also responsible for Floyd’s death then?’
I swear to God guy wrote the exact same comment a couple minutes ago.
Ok looting is not helping the protesters and is being used by trump to detract from the point.

You can't loot from criminals. It's not the corporations' stuff.
The police should stop telling people what is right and wrong right now and should instead LISTEN!
So true.

And what this police chief's speech tells me is that he should be sacked.
Little known fact: this police chief graduated from TRUMP University
donnibrasko1 really??
It wasn't a death, he was killed, and his killing came before the protests not after so there could not possibly be even remotely or indirectly any kind of cause and effect.
Bullshit, fire the chief and educate him on blaming the wrong people, and endangering their lives. Sad to see a chief make such a bad statement
The killing of a man and innocent unarmed man versus somebody breaking a window or stealing a Samsung TV for Christ's sake give me a break
70 out of 700...can he do math? ... and he's an elected official. How thick is this guys blinders?
Thick enough to protect him from the rubber bullets not getting shot at him.
lets remember this chief allows cops with massive complaints about them out on the streets.
The Police Chief should resigned.
LAPD has been a hotbed for racism for decades now. This is hardly shocking.
Although I love San Francisco, their cops sre atrocious. Sacramento is also at the bottom of the barrel.

NO, his Death is on the hands of those officers who murdered him. Period, Point Blank, End of Story.
PREACH IT! 100% TRUTH.
I wasn't aware that the opportunistic looters were already looting before the murder by cop that broke the camel's back happened.
No no it did not happen this way. What really happened, is, a guy was killed by a police officer, THEN people started looting, not the other way around.
Maybe I missed it was the cop with his knee in George Floyd's neck a protester in a cops uniform? My lying eyes!
It doesn't even make sense. The looters came after.
these police chiefs are deranged
cracking unarmed protesters skulls

GASLIGHTING!

We still have hundreds that get off the hook.

Isn't that like blaming James Cameron for sinking the titanic?
Chief or no chief, a bad cop is a bad cop and the stench is toxic. He doesn't belong on the force in any capacity, not even as a janitor.
L.A. mayor needs to FIRE HIM NOW!

Oh yes, blame the people who have nothing to do with the murderer... because that worked SOOO well last time.

Now that I've heard him speak I understand why the LAPD has such a horrible reputation. The fish literally rotted from the head down.

This Police Chief is not fit to hold the position he has. How dare he blame the protesters for the murder of an innocent man. He is a disgrace.
