Thing is, the thugs won’t accept anything less than the officer’s execution. They want the death penalty for him, and they’re willing to do it themselves.

I don’t see this as pacifying the rioters.

Leaving aside everything else, I’d say the optics of the situation make this cop look like he’s mentally retarded and should even be allowed to drive a car — let alone carry a gun and arrest people. Who the hell does something like that when there are people with smartphones all over the place recording your every move?

That’s interesting, makes a person wonder why she had a history of leniency with this cop. Was he the station’s union griever, too? A possible Robert Creamer type activist on the side?

This is just an opinion. there is a news story going around they knew of each other as b ouncers at a local bar. maybe there was bad blood between them?. And george was no longer in position to mess with the cop at the bouncer job? the tables are turned and now george is dead at the hands of his advisory.. It maybe a wished upon murder that came true. We dont have to rehash the “ knee to the neck for 8 minutes. “ lets talk motive. not means.

Maybe we can put him in the same cell Jeffrey Epstein didn’t commit suicide in?

So, without a knee on his neck, he would have fallen over in the street and died anyway?

I’m sure you mean that absent any information to the contrary. That is why the justice system is supposed to be slow, though we want it to be fast. We do not know all the facts in the case. Does it look horrible? Absolutely...but the police officer is innocent until proven guilty and he needs to have his day in court. I am very concerned that the “need” to rush on this may jeopardize the case...moving too fast can cause mistakes that may make a guilty man walk free, or incriminate an innocent man. If the locals want to burn the town down because they think it should be faster, that’s the locals problems...let them do something about it, or not...it’s their town...and the voters that vote for that type government get what they voted for. This needs to be done right...not for optics, and not for politics.

“They want the death penalty for him, and they’re willing to do it themselves.”

He’ll get dead in prison, or spend the rest of his life alone.

You are the first person I’ve seen who has brought up tasers. I wondered about that. Does anybody know if Floyd tased?

Same charges as Noor...

Some Freepers who have certain agenda wished for one thing and will get another. This case is now a circus and will solve nothing and we will repeat this again and again. Those on the left and many on the right played us.

Excellent rundown, based upon responses to my posts on a facebook thread I am the problem since I am white and suffer from white privilege. Apparently I am responsible for national racism and the looters.

“That and drain all the checking and savings accounts.”

I’m sure that happened the “day after” and she’s at her mom’s place ever since. Or sister’s.

With guns and a stack of 100s.

And completely freaking out.

It’s clear that they’ve “determined” the cause of death. Not aware that it’s been announced.
