You might reflect that all too many of these cops will do whatever their authoritarian masters tell them to do, even if it violates your fundamental constitutional rights. That makes them the moral equivalents of nazi guards “just following orders”.
Consider an example that happened just this month where Chicago tops tired to break down the door of a Baptist church because people were inside holding services, in “violation” of Mayor Lightfoot’s decree. The cops even staked out the church with undercover cops. Disgusting.
Many cops have forgotten who they serve.
Is there any MSPPD dash-cam or body-cam footage? 3 officers were trying to hold him down. What happened before contact, that 3 officers ended up having to hold him down?
“supposedly killed”? really?
too many cops in too many places have been out of control for years. more disgusting are those - in and out of police departments - that defend the indefensible.
Really?, I it by belief that this incident would never have occurred in Ann Arbor because an officer cannot make an arrest - under these circumstances - unless a Command officer is present. I realize that my suggestion is expensive - but that is the reform that needs to be done.
“Firstly, it would have happened less often”
False. White people are actually much more likely to be killed by police than black people are.

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION.
What do you think would happened if George Floyd was white and the police officer that supposedly "killed" Floyd was black?
THAT WAS THE QUESTION.
****
Same thing that happened when that Muzzie pig shot the Australian lady. The cops closed ranks around the muzzie, the “good cops” stayed silent and nobody rioted.
And if white people rioted when a cop killed one, it would make the news but somehow I think the story and tone would be different.
"Good citizens" do not enforce diktats from tyrants because some people got the flu.
"Supposedly killed him?" You mean Floyd is still alive??? It's a miracle!!!!
So you're asking what might happen if a black Minneapolis police officer did something like, I don't know, shoot and kill an unarmed white woman? Something like that? I would expect him to be convicted of third degree murder and other crimes and be sent to prison for twelve and a half years.
Google Mohammed Noor and Justine Diamond.
His death was unjustified.
But these riots are being encouraged, and promoted, by leftist agitators so as to create another crisis for Trump during this election campaign season.
“Perhaps it is time to end this sort of militarization of our police against us.”
You do have a point there. The day and age of Andy Griffith is long, long gone. I just cannot see the reason for police outfits having surplus military armored vehicles. No knock warrants executed by people in full military garb. It presents an image that there is an actual war going on between the police and the civilian populace.
Nothing.
The media will play on this as long as they think it can somehow hurt the President. If the riots continue I expect it won’t be long before they realize it’s not helping their cause. That’s when you’ll hear cries for calm from leftist leaders.
I don’t remember any riots when a monster targeted and tried to kill a 5 year old white boy at Mall of America.
Not that I recall. I could be wrong.
I'd really like to see your source for that.
We would never know what happened. It would not be newsworthy.
