This is somthing to ponder on

[Roy Bloom]

Straight away, you can see the person using the fake note was not George Floyd.
Also, in the car with George was a known drug dealer.
That person was never questionned, and refused to participate in the prosecution.

So George Floyd was targetted and the other two with him were ignored.

The storekeeper had a discussion with the guy in the passenger seat. That was not George, becauese he was in the drivers seat.

It's becoming increasingly clear that George was not the person using the fake note, but he was unfairly targetted by the police.

I don't think George fully understood claustrophobia either, he didn't appear to suffer from it in his sisters car.

He seem pretty distressed on the video… I appreciate the police have to deal with this sh1t everyday but he seemed more distressed than angry and violent.

he may have been under the influence of drugs, making him paranoid.

Ive not seen any indication that he showed the levels of violence that Chauvin felt he had to keep his knee on his neck for the whole 8 minutes.

I don’t see any racial motivation for what happened.

The victim being black is not evidence.

But it was Floyd who passed the counterfeit note in the shop, and the security footage shows that.

I agree, until you look at Chauvin's record, where he has a history of violence against black people. (see the complaints about his bouncer employment as well as his police record.)

In addition the US police in general have a pretty horrific history of killing black men.

It wasn't George Floyd in the security footage, unless he changed his clothing and removed his hat.
But it was George who was identified by the shopkeeper.

What also became obvious was that there had been previous interactions with George, his friends and the shopkeeper, but this was denied in the video.

till he dead

Joining in with the street slang, are we?

There is (can be) an argument for force to overpower and restrain anybody.

7 or 8 minutes, leading to death is taking that too far.

I support the police and force, AS. NECESSARY, not as a self deciding judicial process.

It seems that a few ( the regulars) seem to think it's OK if they know the person.

It was a court that decided the punishment, not the lefties. Presumably there was sufficient evidence

I don't think anyone would find the copper actions to be reasonable.
I've seen coppers restraining villains by kneeling on their arms, but not on their neck.

I agree.

But if it took actions like that to restrain him, and then cuff him I wouldn't argue. It's the continued action that was wrong and cannot be supported

Second time you agree with me in the past few weeks...
What's wrong with you???

Can't help it.

But as I said before, it's the comments I agree or disagree with, not the person.

As you see regularly in here, some can't get over that and argue with/against the person and not the point.

No one mention BLM

 

[transam]

Basically imo the police officer was jailed because the victim was black

All this BLM caper

If the bloke had been found not guilty there would have been riots

Play the BLM race card and you can get away with murder

Ask OJ simp son
