I’m not defending the cops. Far from it. I’m trying to focus on the facts at hand and as they come in. The court of public opinion is an emotional beast, as your post demonstrates. A court of law operates under different rules.
Emotions? LOL. I’m dealing in facts. You’re dissembling which is defacto support of these dirty cops.
We have video proof Floyd was beaten for nearly minutes while handcuffed and unconscious. We have testimony from one of the cops that he told dirty cop #1 that there was no pulse. Despite that dirty cop #1 continued the beating. Those are facts that won’t be changing. Only those willfully blind continue to ignore the criminal culpability of these dirty cops.

Have you ever prepared for a debate in school? You pretend you are the other side and try to destroy your own position. It allows you to see which of your arguments are based on facts and which are based on inferences. There is a lot of “these cops are scum” comments being made on the interwebs that is based on inference. I try to focus on what we KNOW, as opposed to what we BELIEVE. Personally, I believe the cops are guilty (at least the one with the knee on the neck). But my comments are not about what I believe. They are about what we KNOW vs what we believe.
And so far, we (arm chair judges) don’t really know all that much.
Fascinating. Please show the link.
I have watched most of the video on this incident I can find, and I have not seen that.
