Same here. Almost. Radio to me is merely background noise for me now. It's only something to listen to while showering and driving down the street. Oh. And when I'm shopping at Walmart.

My first automobile, a Studebaker, didn't have a radio. Or seatbelts. Good thing I never crashed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered what all might happen with these mobs of looters, etc, so I'm cancelling our doctor's appointment for Tuesday!

If the arresting officers actions need to be looked into and some form of reprimand or punishment is called for, fine. What irritates me, is that folks are forgetting that Floyd committed the crimes of passing counterfeit money and resisting arrest. What do folks expect the police to do? Give him a lolly and send him on his way? All this mass protesting is are people committing criminal acts for entertainment purposes. It hurts the communities they live in and that is all. Plus it is not going to help contain the Cov19 problem, just make it spread and get much worse. Just my two bits, JJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a final comment here to close the topic and thread. When John Lennon was assassinated, radio stations all over the world broadcasted Beatles and solo Lennon music for days. Some the entire week long. There was a mass moratorium over the weekend in New York City's Central Park. Yoko asked for one minute of silence for gatherers and those who tuned in to radio and television stations. People observed the silence in thoughts prayers. Many wept. Sounds like a good plan. One minute should do it. I'll be listening to YouTube Tuesday night. They have videos on some of them. I've already prayed that George Floyd was saved. That's all I can do. I'm also praying for the end to rioting and the other unnecessary acts of violent outbursts. Senseless destruction saddens me. It's accomplishing nothing. Equally sad are acts of excessive physical maintenance for legal enforcement. Two wrongs don't make a right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of your family members died like this , you would not be posting comments like this, that's for sure. Plus, if four officers can't take an unarmed man to the station, then they have not been trained to do law enforcement in civil ways. The rest of what you said has some merits.
