why in the world would your child who is a criminal prosecutor claim that the backstory here is not relevant.
I don’t believe you are lying about your family.
But it makes no sense.
It is HIGHLY relevant.
There is a lot more to be uncovered.
In those cases where we have to restrain a patient for our own and the patient's safety, we follow strict protocols to prevent harm to the patient under our care.
The multitude of excuses offered for the rotten cops who robbed a man of his life are as disturbing as the anarchy in the streets today.
Yes he was no angel.
That did not make the manner of his death deserved.
Even a drug addicted lowlife porn star should NOT be murdered by cops.
The law matters.
Black thugs and evil white antifa antichrists must follow laws too. Rioting, burning down cities and stores and killing police officers is against the law.
The law applies to ALL ...it’s time to get real.
That counterfeit $20 may be the real key to everything.
Maybe Chauvin and his wife bought it in anticipation of moving there after retiring. Given the current status of their relationship, it looks like she might be moving in by herself. Can’t imagine she plans of staying in Minnesota. I’d imagine that once her divorce is final, she will change here last name to her maiden name.
Could be lots of reasons, too.
Put a baton between a person’s legs in the crotch area, they will move anywhere you want them to go. A person’s center of gravity is well above the crotch area. On top of that, there were at least three other officers who could have gotten him in the back of the patrol car.
Yes, I think I’ll reserve judgment before joining the lynch mob.
Well, no.
I would say let's add a little perspective. What do we expect of cops? Assaulted by rioters, no problem. Get a call for...
---Disturbed person acting out. Cops enter the home, charged by said person wielding two kitchen knives. Cops killed the person. Now being used as a local example of police brutality. The narrative is that because it was widely known she was crazy, they should have found a less lethal method to stop the knife attack..."She didn't deserve to die."
---Now...a large black guy on some cocktail of drugs resists arrest, is put into the car, pulled out again because he was flailing, still resisting arrest. He's put on the ground in a department approved restraint hold. He dies, possibly because of a drug induced heart attack.
I've never spent any time worrying about the possibility that could be me...because I don't spend my life as a walking drug cocktail. I don't pass counterfeit money. If I did, I would say, "Wow, I didn't know that. Here's a different bill." I wouldn't consider violently resisting arrest, and I wouldn't require them to pull me back out of the car.
Consider the possibility that dysfunctional people now unreasonably burden we 'normals' as a 'matter of right.' I suppose people have the right to be a pain in the @ss, for which they also have the 'right' to be treated like one.
I don't find myself at risk because, to mangle Chris Rock, I "don't do that s#!t."
That's the perspective I use. Shed the tears you choose, call it 'excusing.' No one has time for that.
I never said he should
