1. Always peace, after the murder. Always call for peace.

All i know is you can ALL be grateful this isnt in reverse

if Black people were doing this to white people for 200 years, there would not be a single building left standing

But Black people are expected to always respond in peace.

And they do, which isnt good enough because some undercover cop or racist will start a fire or something then blame it on protesters

COUNT

ON

IT

3. Welcome to DU!

And 80 years is not enough. The pure hatred displayed by a 'peace officer' is despicable.

4. The police want violent protests. They really do.

5. Control you badged goon squad, DINO Rahm. Why don/t you ask them for calm and not kill

unarmed people then hide behind lies like "I was afraid for my life." Better yet, give police standard issue testicles and a working brain with the ability to de-escalate a situation so they don't murder more Americans.

6. Rahm told us how the negative press was negatively affection the police

Maybe he can blame the video
He sure as hell won't blame his department

7. Kudo's to rahm - the whole thing was so well orchetrated PR-wise.

Chiraq - my home town.

5 million dollah's! - that tells you everything you want to know.

8. What may be the best thing for Chicagoans would be if you and your racist goons left office,

permanently, Rammanuel.

9. Burger King Said Cops Strong Armed Them And Erased Video Of Shooting

This is exactly what the CIA and FBI did to all the business surrounding the Pentagon during 911. There were hundreds of videos showing the "plane" hit the Pentagon. And they have all been erased or buried...and idiots even here on DU claim its all just a conspiracy theory??? How stupid and gullible do you have to be? There is no harm to national security in seeing something that was done in broad daylight!
