On December 20, 2014, Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley killed two on-duty New York City Police Department officers in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn,.....

***

Rafael Ramos (December 9, 1974 – December 20, 2014), married with two sons and a longtime resident of Glendale, Queens, had joined the NYPD as a school safety agent, before being promoted to officer in January 2012.[8] He was active in his church, Christ Tabernacle in Glendale,[9] and had once studied at a seminary. He had just completed a training course to become a volunteer chaplain.[10] He planned to eventually join the ministry when he retired from the police force.

The Silver Shield Foundation, founded by the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, announced it would pay for the education of Ramos' 13-year-old son. Bowdoin College said it would provide full financial aid to Ramos' elder son, who is a sophomore at the school, so he could complete his education.[11]

A funeral service for Ramos, the largest police funeral in the city’s history, was held on December 27 in Glendale with over 100,000 people present, including many politicians such as Vice President Joe Biden;[12] the service itself from start to finish was almost five hours long and was broadcast around the world, with many people coming from across the country to pay their respects to the slain officer. Afterward, Ramos' body was transported to St. John Cemetery in nearby Middle Village, where he was laid to rest.[13] Hundreds of officers turned their backs to Mayor Bill de Blasio as he delivered his eulogy.[14]

It’s small. You can’t see it over the ones about the 115,000 Covid deaths and that’s hard to see behind the one against United States apartheid.

Meg McCain tried the dodgy dodge on defunding police departments. Fortunately, Senator Harris was there to set her straight.

When are you going to put your body and/or money and/or time where your mouth is, asshole?

A bunch of these protests have been put together by teens.

You ought to be able to do at least half as well as they have, shouldn't you?

You want a protest for David Dorn, YOU fucking well put one together. Don't always be waiting for others to do your wishes for you.

St. Louis man arrested in fatal shooting of retired police officer David Dorn

(CNN) — A St. Louis man has been charged with murder in the death of retired St. Louis police officer David Dorn, who was shot during a pawn shop burglary in last week's protests in the city.

Stephan Cannon, 24, of St. Louis was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, three counts of armed criminal action and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner said in a statement released on Twitter Sunday.

No bond is allowed for Cannon, Gardner said.

Mr Cannon is a Black man.
If only he hadn't allegedly done that.

Sounds like a crime of opportunity rather than anything even slightly protest related.

David Dorn is just as dead as George Floyd.

[bodiddley]

Dorn was killed by criminals.  They have been caught and will be punished.  What's to protest?

Floyd was killed by police with the full authority of society acting as criminals.

You don't see a distinction?

"The communities that are going to be hurt the most by this move to quote-unquote, 'defund the police' are lower-income communities, are African-American communities, are people that are living in the inner city and that are more susceptible to violence, not from police officers and not from the police force, but by people in their own communities," he concluded

There has been a ton written, and being written (google it, there are articles published today) about Camden NJ. If you really wanted to know the facts of what might happen and what the effect would be on African American communities, read them.

If you are only parroting conservatives that are talking out of their ass to score political points, then you are doing the same.

When is the protest for David Dorn?

Racist white people.remain very fond of.telling black people what they should be protesting.

People are not protesting Floyd's death  but the toxic police culture and institutional racism that is behind it.  His.death is an example, a symbol, and a flash point.  Not the subject.
