facepalm
except Floyd’s neck was not injured and he was not asphyxiated.
As opposed to Floyd, who had no physical injuries from the restraint.
We live in the age of the weaponized comparison.
Cops have been using knees forever, it is a very effective way, probably the most effective way short of leg irons and a straight jacket to subdue a perp that is out of control. The problem is it doesn’t look very nice which is what the domestic enemies like. When George Floyd died of his self administered overdose on video the domestic enemies realized they hit pay dirt with regards to damaging law enforcement and the USA, and it’s been paying off in silver dollars for them ever since because those who have the power to fight back are too scared to do so and look what happens: The hatred toward cops spreads worldwide as it this is the only time cops have killed. This is really bad because the domestic enemies are going to bring forth anarchy at the same time the Biden domestic enemy occupation wants to take our guns
nor was the knee on floyd’s neck, it was on his back
Toward the end of the article:
‘Other footage showed Salazar in an agitated state when the officers arrived, with witness Amelia Magaña saying she saw her “throwing herself at cars.”’
see??? i musta skimmed right over it...
thx.
“Except it has yet to spark similar outrage or protest”
Oh that’s easy. It’s in Mexico, not America.
And it’s a Latino killed by Latinos. So who cares. Only “racism” matters.
I think it is causing more problems than it solves. It might be incredibly effective, it also LOOKS bad enough to piss off even normally peaceful people.
that photo of Nguyễn Văn Lém being executed, no matter how justified, did massive damage to the United State’s war effort on the home front; not worth it.
Perception *IS* reality when it comes to politics.
a case being compared to the harrowing death of George Floyd.

Harrowing? Why was it “harrowing”? What is the criteria that one should use to conclude that someone’s death is harrowing? Can you cite to other deaths that should be referred to as harrowing?
Please make it stop.

Make what stop?
Look, other countries have worse police behavior than we do.
We all good now ?
We live in the age of the weaponized comparison.

We live in an age of weepy, whiney, snowflake bullsh*t artists who need to be called out a every opportunity!
Sorry Victoria, only Black Lives Matter.
They said so.
Was she pumped full of Fentanyl also?
Those Mexicans are so racist against Hispanics.
