    I don't understand why they sent 4 police officers to arrest a man who has a fake $20 bill

    And them arrest him kill him over it.

    Its not a crime in the UK to have a fake note.

    Yes it is Beth, but having a fake note isn't thank goodness
    I went to a counter in a store paid with a 20 note and was told it was fake ! I nearly collapsed on the spot
    They kept the 20 and I not only felt I'd been mugged but was totally humiliated by the experience. That fake 20 had been
    passed to me !

    I heard this morning that the cop in question had a history of violence. Should not have been in the police force
    is my take on that

    That Is not what i said.

    you cannot be arrested or convicted in a court if you have a fake note unknowing

    As Patsy said they just take it off you...police are never involved.

    I also believe that this was deliberately planned, @Martin Alonzo , but since we cannot discuss that here, I have started a thread over in the conspiracy section where we can talk about the facts of this case that make it seem like it was another false flag, in order to start race riots. There seems to be emerging evidence that points to that; so please contribute to the FF thread instead of this one.

    According to the Fox News reports from Minnesota, everyone that has been arrested in the rioting is not from Minneapolis, and has come in from another place. The actual residents of that city are having to watch as their businesses are being burned down, police stations and vehicles are being burned and trashed, and there is nothing that they can do about any of it.
    This is the same thing that happened a few years ago in Ferguson, Missouri. Rioters came in from other places , caused the trouble, led the rioting and burning, and the people who actually lived there, are the ones who ended up suffering from all of this.

    Since the Minnesota Attorney General is an Antifa supporter, it is not likely that the information about the antifa involvement in these riots is going to be criticized much, if at all.

    Some being arrested are not from Minnesota. SOME, I can guaranfrickentee you that the majority are. What difference does it make anyway.? The outrage at rogue cops is not limited to intrastate complaints, it is a glaring national problem and the,"Thin Blue Line" needs to be permanently erased. If you have 2000"good" cops and ten bad ones,if the 2000 good do not police the ten bad, then you have 2010 bad cops.

    Police the Police!

    This officer was still on the force, but, with the complaints about him............WHY? It's a must that this problem/decision, of keeping a bad officer on the force, definitely comes from higher up on the force.

    I still think that news media needs to talk to a Defense lawyer about what happened. But, they sure stay away from doing that!

    You may be arrested, or at least detained and questioned for passing bad currency here, but I don't think you'll be convicted unless they can show that you either printed it or were knowingly circulating counterfeit bills. I can't say what happened here, but it doesn't look good for the cop. I also know that citizen video doesn't always show the whole story because they don't start filming until the police react, which is not to say that there is necessarily more to it than it seems.

    It DOES make a difference, a lot of difference where the rioters are coming from ! If you look at the videos of the rioting, you will see that most of the leaders are white people, and a lot of them are from the Antifa terrorist group.
    What they are doing, is coming into a peaceful neighborhood, setting people against each other, and starting the riots, burning and trashing of all of the businesses in that neighborhood.

    Instead of helping the businesses in the area to deal with the loss of their building and inventory, the Hollywood stars are raising money to bail out the people who are doing the burning of this neighborhood.
    This is basically the same thing that happened in Ferguson, where paid rioters were shipped in, controlled by antifa, and other militant groups. You can see some of the leaders are wearing headsets, in order to receive and transmit orders to the other rioters.
    The black people (who are the ones being hit the hardest), are led into following along because they think that they are protesting an unfair death of a black person by a white police officer.

    At this point, all that is happening, is that their neighborhood is being locked down, people are being told to stay inside for their safety, and the local economy is ruined because of the businesses that have been destroyed.

    Then, by extension, if 10K employees of a corporation are great employees but 1 or 2 are lacking then the whole corporation is afoul.
    Or worse yet, let’s do what a minority of people do and blame a whole race for the transgressions of a few.
    You may see a difference Pete, but I do not.

    So far as the police policing the police, in 2016, 1,200 police persons were arrested and convicted of crimes. In 2017, the number went up by another couple of hundred and the numbers vary from there. Hundreds of police officers lose their jobs every year before they even reach a year of service so you really need to do some research before coming out with skewed opinions.
    Note: In 2019, 231 police officers were killed in the line of duty which interestingly enough on a per capital scale makes being a police officer more dangerous than Covid-19 is to the whole population of the U..S.

    I blame a single police officer, a single mentality and a single action for what happened and nothing more. A single trained individual who for whatever reason overstepped his bounds costing the life of a civilian for which he will pay for.

    And do note once again: No matter what you think of it, the thin blue line flag still flies on my porch and it will as long as I want it there which will be for quite some time.
