WTF? Is everybody loosing their minds?

Whatever looks good, right? 🙄 Always about 'optics' never about real change.

I should hope so! This was brutal murder with hard evidence on tape! This racist cop must be held accountable and pay the maximum penalty! What about the other policeman simply standing by to watch this act of homicide!?

Good

Day in the life of the wild beasts in America. Sorry for those who murdered by these wild beasts. The WH wild president, mad trump, seems to enjoy it in his silence.

This sounds like the right decision by the university, working to keep all their students safe. The MinneapolisPD is a public safety hazard, harboring murderers and failing to recognize the threat they present to public safety.

I wonder what they would do if student rioted burning down buildings if they would still feel the same?

The dumbest decision ever.

Good

The policeman was just praying for Trump!

😂😂😂😂

It's vry vry Bad n Sad as well

Nothing like another knee jerk reaction. Maybe the police department should cut off ties with the university and let the university pick up all the costs. Thats a great idea.

Good for them. Fuck that Democrat city.

A moral compass does exist.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face

We need more institutions to stand up. I can't believe my tax $ pays for these atrocities.

Virtue signalling- check!

Fact check

Bravo

That's the way 2 take a stand... economically impact them...

Great America, pls give the black people the basic dignity, the dignity to live and to be human

That was super quick 🤔

Let’s loot and steal !
