Ha ha ha...expectation and reality are two very different things.

Is that why over 50 people were killed during the Rodney King riots when the expectation that the cops would be found guilty didn't come to fruition? Perhaps you could explain it to all those people who were killed.

And they are showing submission to those who burn, kill, loot and destroy. The cops are supposed to be "heroes" because they are there to protect and serve the community. When I see them kneel before the protesters, it's as if they're saying, "You're right! We humbly submit to you."

One thing I find strangely ironic is how many of the signs the protesters carry say, "White silence is violence". Well, that's why I'm here. I'm a white man and I won't stay silent. But I find that if the words I speak aren't what they want me to say, then they try to bully me into their way of thinking. So they want me to speak up, but also want to control what I say as well.

Exactly, they absolutely hate the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They want to silence all and I will say right here I absolutely hate those like that

I think it's pretty obvious. People are being told what the outcome needs to be, and are already being bullied into thinking a certain way.

People have come to their own conclusions. Who do you know that has been bullied into thinking a certain way?

The outcome they want is BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS for all people.

Calling you out on your racism and bigotry is not "bullying", sir.

Thishas nothing to do with the "more to the story" reference in the OP. The story is the cop kneeling on Floyd's neck. Stop referencing Rodney King.

Right. And what happened to Floyd was pure depraved evil. That you don't think it was says a lot.

Protect and serve the community.

Of course, nobody's stopping you from kneeling before the cops, if submission makes you more comfortable.

Remind me again what they want you to say?

Yeah, they're real despicable aren't they?

It's not about submission, it's about solidarity. Good. Don't stay silent. No one wants to bully you, trust me. No one wants to control what you say. There are thousands, no, millions, of white men who think like you. There are groups that you can join with a bunch of white men who think like you. One of them is the alt-right. I'm sure they'll be very happy to have you. There are many many more than you can join. I'm sure you'll feel right at home, there.

You do understand that there are white people protesting too, right? Who is 'they?'

Fun fact: Many protests are being hijacked by white supremacist groups. Please, tell your fellow 'brothers in Christ' to leave the protests.

Ooh la la! You hate 'those like that?' You hate a fellow human being? I'm not understanding....are you Christian? Since when was it biblical to hate a fellow human being? Who wants to silence you? Tell me, please. Did anyone put their hands on your mouth and prevent you from speaking? I'm not understanding this..... did anyone delete your social media after you posted? Who exactly is trying to silence you, and by what method are they doing this imaginary silencing?

Some protesters arrested in Cincinnati say they were denied food, water for 10 hours

Arresting protesters by the busload, leaving them in zip ties for 12 hours, denying food/water/bathroom breaks and phone-calls...... sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me!

Incorrect. Floyd is hardly comparable to Jesus Christ, even though the protesters who claim to speak for him are now expecting police officers to kneel before them.

Cops chose to kneel themselves. Do you really think protesters forced them to? .... how can an unarmed protester FORCE an armed police officer to kneel?
