This ain’t the way, bro:
Warning! Rant about the two tier justice system and George Floyd.

I’ve got to sound off about the killing of George Floyd, an innocent man, by Minneapolis police. I’m so fucking angry and upset I can’t see straight. Some will say it was only one policeman with his knee on Floyd’s neck. The FUCKING POLICEMAN HAD NEARLY HIS FULL WEIGHT ON FLOYD’S NECK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. And just before he died, Floyd pleaded that he could not breathe.
Everyone knows that when you put your body weight on someone’s neck for several minutes you’re going to kill them the same as you know that if you point a gun at someone’s head and pull the trigger you’ll get the same results. The other policemen present are just as guilty as if their knee was on Floyd’s neck. They’re not stupid. They know how the body reacts to pressure points and choke holds. They knew that Floyd was in distress and didn’t give a shit. In fact, they were probably laughing to themselves as Floyds last breath ebbed away.
I’m heart broken that an innocent man lost his life and now his family will suffer forever with his loss, knowing that it should not have happened. And I’m angry as hell that we have a two-tier justice system, from city up to federal level, in this country. Everyone one of those cops should have been, not only fired but arrested and held until charged. ANYONE else, upon killing someone even accidentally, would be immediately arrested.
The two-tier system sucks. How about THE SYSTEM SUCKS! The system is the deep state, bureaucrats, lifelong, entrenched government workers. They are all members of the same club and we are not allowed admittance. These government workers at the city, state, and federal level, have been clinging to their petty positions of power since Christ was a Corporal, doing “favors” for each other and their friends while people like George Floyd, and you and I are damned.
Most of these “government employees” are of no use to anyone and are hanging on for their government pension, protected by their union, and will likely die of hypertension in their mauve colored cube. This is the system that let these cops walk knowing that George Floyd paid with his life for a “forgery in progress” and didn’t think twice. FUCK THE SYSTEM, I’M DONE WITH IT!
If the Mayor of Minneapolis or the Gov. of Minnesota wanted to show they had a sense of justice they’d have those four murderers arrested and set them up with a trial date about two months from now. That kind of action would go a long way towards quelling the riots in Minneapolis. But that won’t happen because the governor and mayor are “The System” and see no need to change.
Honestly, I don’t see this a racial thing but I sure as hell have a much better understanding of how blacks feel about “the system” and about police. I say, let Black Lives Matter do their damnedest on the streets of Minneapolis. It’s the only way they’re going to get any kind of justice for George Floyd. God Bless George Floyd and his family and may they get justice.
And there ya have it.
Jim. We are all adults here. Well legally. But how many times have you and the moderators asked, pleaded and told people NOT to use profanities?
Yet Fight here used the daddy of all f-bombs. You guys are too tolerant. You need to start dropping 3 day time outs on FReepers when they do this. Including variations like f-— you and so on.
Except for me, of course. You will please continue to overlook my bad language?
Thank you.
It does help to know what the fuss was all about. :-)
Personally, at the first F-word, I'd just have moved on to another thread...
~~~~~~~~~~~
kentuckian, re-read your screed -- as if you were another FReeper. Learn -- and cool it for a while...
TXnMA
Still wondering what the heck getting FB’d means.
Wait....mebbe I don’t wanna know!
This has been a fun thread, regardless :-)
I just made a donation. I think everyone on this thread should do the same.
JimRob, it is good to meet you. Thank you for starting Free Republic and keeping it going all these years.
I posted that and it got yanked. I scrubbed the bad words and it still got yanked and I don’t know why and the mods wouldnt say.

The gangs arrive and sit on opposite sides, and after a troublesome start at the meeting, Wilkerson asks for volunteers from the gang to take up an offering. Nicky and the Muslim Abdullah of the of Bishops are two of the 4 chosen, and they pressure people to give. Yet while all expect them to keep the money, Nicky proposes they cross the preacher up by doing the unexpected, and return all the money. And which provides a lead for Wilkerson's preaching, that you do not have to conform to what people think you should do, and that God is:
"the only One who really knows why you do the things you do...the only One who has the power to do anything about it." And that "love is the gutiest thing you'll ever do... it's turning away from your hate..." "God sent His only Son into this world." "Each of your here has heard about the 10 commandments. Most of your here have broken every one of them."
In response to the exhortation to repentance and love, one of the members of the black Bishops gang stands up and protests, "Hey man , my brother died from a Mau Maus rumble! And you say you want me to love them honkeys? Yes, I'm going to love them. I'm going to love them with a sharp blade!"
To which Wilkerson forcefully responds, "Now shut up and listen to me! You [Bishops] say you've got to kill them because of what they did to you. You've [Mau Maus] got to kill them because of what they did to you. Everyone's griping abut this atrocity or that tragedy. All I hear is what a rotten deal we've all got. Let me tell you something! Jesus Christ was perfect. And they crucified Him! And He never said one complaining word...He felt pain just like you feel pain..they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. He didn't have to let them do that to Him. He could have called out a whole legion of angels...He could have slaughtered all His tormentors. He didn't....bleeding for you... It's all paid up; its free...accept it...open up your hearts and let all that bitterness roll out and let Jesus Christ come in."
