MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday to speak about the death of George Floyd.
The civil rights leader is slated to hold a 1 p.m. press conference with faith leaders at Missionary Baptist Church, according to his staff.
Early Thursday, Jackson spoke with Jason DeRusha on WCCO This Morning, calling Floyd’s death a “lynching in broad daylight.”

He called for the Minneapolis Police Department to “cleanse itself, inside and out.” He added that all four officers involved in the incident were equally guilty.
Jackson’s event in Minneapolis will come following a night of chaos in Minneapolis, as protests turned violent overnight with fires and looting. One man was shot dead.
I hope they keep him in Minneapolis.
I've never been able to understand a single word out of his mouth. Sounds like he's got a month full of shit.
ReplyDeleteIf Mr. Floyd didn't resist arrest refuse to go into the back of the squad car he would still be alive you have no right to resist arrest! George was a large man 6ft6in was a convicted Felon did time in jail for armed robbery in Texas. Where is the video of him resisting arrest wait until drugs are in his system counterfeit money is a serious felony crime. I hope the Officers are reinstated and acquitted if charged with any crimes!
ReplyDeleteAll you say sir is true, however they will lose their jobs only just because........if you know what I mean
DeleteRestraining someone in the prone position with hands cuffed behind the back can cause positional asphyxia resulting in death. Kneeling on someone in the prone position with their hands cuffed behind their back DOES cause positional asphyxia and DOES result in death. Criminal charges are appropriate in this case.

DeleteWell tell me what would you have done with the gentle giant lol?
DeleteAfter gaining control and cuffing him. I would have sat him up or stood him up. Certainly wouldn't have kept him in the position that he was in till he stopped breathing and then some. As LL has been know to verbalize, "it was a fail".
DeleteWho????
ReplyDeleteThe rioting, looting and 40 fires set in Minneapolis will deliver tens of thousands or perhaps millions more votes for law and order candidates in November. Last night was anarchy pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteJesse Jackson jr is even worse gets a tax free disabity congressional pension even after convicted of numerous crimes!
