BlackLivesMatter protests | Updates, News & Discussion

There were 3 white police kneeing on George Floyd. US MSM are showing this "Vietnamese" (Hmong) Tou Thao, and Derek Chauvin.

Tou Thao were not involved in violence.

Now blacks are angry against East Asians.

Only few hours ago, footage of all 3 white police violence appeared. But they are not widely circulated.

But the damage is done.

They were showing reasons why the other 3 were also fired since they were considered complicit and possibly also just bad as the knee guy. You think they are going to risk having this Tou Thao guy still around after stuff like this was dug up:

Chinese call Minneapolis ‘a beautiful sight’

US double standards will lead it backwards: expert

Demonstrators gathered on Wednesday for a second night of protests over the killing in the US city of Minneapolis of a handcuffed black man by a policeman who held him to the ground with a knee on his neck. As dusk fell, police formed a human barricade around the Third Precinct, where the officers were accused of killing Floyd. Photo: AFP

As the protest in the US state of Minnesota resembled Hong Kong riots last year in protesting means and police response, Chinese netizens who referred it as "a beautiful sight to behold," as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the Hong Kong demonstrations, mocked US double standards and wished more "beautiful sights" of this kind in the US.

Angry crowds in Minneapolis smashed their way into stores and set businesses and other buildings on fire, after the death of a black man on Monday after a white Minneapolis police officer put his knee on his neck for about eight minutes. On Thursday, they set fire to a police precinct and police fired tear gas at the protestors, US media reported.

The Minneapolis mayor declared a state of emergency in the city, and Minnesota sent more than 500 National Guard soldiers to Minneapolis.

US President Donald Trump on Friday threatened the use of "shooting" and announced the army supports the governor in a tweet calling the Minnesota protestors as "thugs."

Photos and videos of fires and the police deployment of tear gas have circulated on Chinese social media since Thursday, and related topics of the protests have trended on Weibo for two days. Many Chinese netizens cracked sarcastic jokes about US double standards in treating Hong Kong mobs and protests in its own soil, saying China should do what the US has done to criticize China over Hong Kong affairs.

"China has not deployed any military force a year after the Hong Kong turmoil, but Trump has threatened to resort to military force just four days into the protests. Hong Kong mobs, take a better look at the country you are begging for help," one netizen said.

In a live report of the protests on Friday, a CNN team was arrested. CNN later issued a statement demanding the release of its employees.

Chinese netizens compared it with foreign reporters' performance and Hong Kong police's tolerance to them during the Hong Kong unrest, and called on Hong Kong police to tighten law enforcement to foreign reporters.

Referring to the protests as "a beautiful sight to behold," many netizens showed their support to the protestors.

Some Chinese netizens said, "We should express our serious concern, immediately summon the US ambassador in China to warn the US over its human rights issue, come up with a US human rights bill to sanction the US police chief and certain entities, bring the issue to the UN for international condemnation of the US!"

"Five demands from Minnesota: release US citizens arrested during the protests; establish a supervision team to investigate US police; disband US 'black cops;' abolish US law on national security and the US presidential election system," read one comment which aped the five demands listed by Hong Kong protesters.

Some netizens urged the US to mind their own business as it has reported over 100,000 deaths from coronavirus, unprecedented unemployment rates and worsening racism, but attempted to meddle Hong Kong affairs.

"You are a country built on lies, and you are still weaving lies of US democracy and freedom when everyone is having a good laugh at your failure," said one netizen.

Diao Daming, an associate professor at the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times that Chinese netizens' comments reflect US politicians' hypocrisy and double standards, and they will be abandoned by their countrymen if they go further to play political games instead of caring about Americans' lives.

The US is resorting to double standards to secure its global hegemony, but it undermines other countries' security, and ultimately the US will lose its security. Domestically, the racist prejudice, unprotected basic rights of life and soaring unemployment will further split American society, worsen social conflicts, and the US will move backwards, experts said.

I would like to request the Chinese to please offer to go and intervene between the protestors and the US regime.

When I was in the US I even saw separatist militias in Virginia, who I camped with. If China wants, we can help you bring freedom and liberty to US states that want to separate from the union. Wish China would help them poor Americans out.

China is just another victim who constantly bully by U.S.
 
China's Global Times trolls US, says: 'US should stand with Minnesota violent protesters as it did with HK rioters'
Rhetoric adding fuel to fire.

Global Times, China's hawkish state media, has written a troll article to rub salt into the wounds of the United States as violence and riots there have erupted in several cities -- in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Global Times gloat


In a May 29 editorial written by the Global Times editor, Hu Xijin, the headline of his polemic was a normative statement to poke the U.S. in the eye.

It read: "US should stand with Minnesota violent protesters as it did with HK rioters".

The New York Times, in a July 2019 profile piece, described Hu as someone "increasingly seen as a combative public voice of the administration of President Xi Jinping in an era of more open rivalry with the United States".

Hu's main point with his latest missive?

Since U.S. politicians are so fond and agreeable with the violent Hong Kong protesters, they should also stand with the violence perpetrated by protesters in Minnesota and other cities now.

Hu highlighted he tweeted at Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday, calling on him to do just that and stand with the violent protesters back in the U.S.

Hu tweeted: "Secretary Pompeo, please stand with the angry people of Minneapolis, just like you did with the people of Hong Kong."

American hypocrisy


The Global Times piece also pointed to U.S. President Donald Trump's intolerance of violence happening in Minneapolis -- a dig at American hypocrisy.

Trump tweeted early Friday morning: "I can't stand back & watch this happen."

He instructed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to "get his act together and bring the city under control".

If not, Trump said he would send in the National Guard and "get the job done right".

"When the looting starts, the shooting starts," Trump tweeted.

The tweet has since been covered by Twitter on its platform with a warning label for "glorifying violence".

Trump’s line about looting and shooting has racial history behind it.

It echoes the sentiments of Walter E. Headley, the Miami police chief who attracted national attention in the late 1960s for using shotguns, dogs and a heavy-handed "stop-and-frisk" policy to fight crime in the city’s black neighborhoods.

Headley said in a 1967 news conference: “We haven’t had any serious problems with civil uprising and looting, because I’ve let the word filter down that when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

No army sent to quell Hong Kong protests


Hu, in his smug conclusion, wrote that no army was sent to quell the Hong Kong protests, despite months of unrest that turned violent at times:



They directly applauded Hong Kong's riots, calling them a "beautiful sight" of democracy. The chaos in Hong Kong has lasted for over a year and military forces have not been dispatched. Yet after only three days of chaos in Minnesota, Trump publicly threatened the use of firepower and implied military forces could be utilized.

That is the state of US inequality and another example of the country's double standards. Well, America, what should I say?





Riots in U.S. stemmed from injustice


The Global Times piece clearly and purposely missed the point of the unrest currently engulfing major cities in the U.S.: It was the glaring injustice of a black man dying as a result of police brutality that sparked the greater violence in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

But this could be where the protests in the U.S. and Hong Kong share some similarities.

The source of Hongkongers' discontent stems from their sense of unwarranted exertion of power from authority, as they are feeling the weight and encroachment of Beijing increasingly.

But in Hu's characterisation, the death of Floyd was just another death that occurred during a pandemic in a country that has claimed more than 100,000 lives -- due to the vast inequality already in existence there:



In the US, more than 100,000 people have died from Covid-19, most of them weak, elderly, poor and minorities. The death of George Floyd, from another perspective, reveals the desperate inequality rampant in the US.

Nazi clown? Never seen one before but McDonald clown does exist especially here.
 
I see that CNN, BBC are silent on this protest, as well as on continued protests in France. Nowadays, as demonstrations and unrest in the West are increasing, Russia-based RT News is more active.

China-based CGTN, as usual, is generally silent on Western hot spots, and focusing on domestic issues instead.
 
America is more worried about HK than the 100K death and this.

China please launch a humanitarian intervention in besieged Minneapolis

Indeed a beautiful sight and let's hope these disenfranchized heroes can sustain it. Democracy is trashed! In America democracy is of the White people, by the White people and for the White people only.
