“And the white race has lost its balls and will and deserves the oblivion towards where it’s headed”

I’ve been thinking of a way of expressing that thought. Good job.

Indeed it gets down to one force against another. Physical force, not just word battles. May the stronger culture win.

No one argued he didn’t. However any attempt to spin what these cops did as justified is flat out Moronic

He was cuffed and a non threat, he was out numbered 4 to 1.

He resisted going in the car. Cops threes him to the ground, fine.

However they then kneeled on his neck not only until he was inconscious but for several more minutes.. no threat to anyone. They killed him, pure and simple and the attempt to claim their actions are somehow justified is indefensible.

Stop the nonsense folks.. just stop. The cops actions cannot be whitewashed. I have no problem they threw him to the ground after he resisted (already cuffed btw) getting in the car.. but kneeling on his neck and even at one point having a gun drawn and pointed at him while prone and subdued is not in any way justifiable.. or justified..

The cops screwed up, no excuse or justification can be made for kneeling on a man’s neck until he is unconscious and then continuing to do so for several more minutes. Only to finally relent whenthe emt’s you called when he passed out demand you to get off him so they can check his pulse.

Stop trying to find justifications for these cops actions, they do. It exist. In no policy for restraint is kneeling on a man’s neck allowed..

They killed this man, cops are people and some of them do bad things. Intentionally or unintentionally... these cops did a very bad thing, stop trying to spin this. Just stop.

A drugged up 6'7” man fighting cops in the back of police car is a legit reason for him to be thrown on the ground and use this technique. Now, what's left? WHY did he die? Was it from the knee or from fentanyl squeezing his heart like it tends to do..oh btw he also had CORONA another respiratory causing issue. That is going to be the point in court.

Two words: JURY NULLIFICATION.

Facts won't matter.

I have little doubt that the full footage will show the police had adequate reason to restrain Big George. But 9 minutes of kneeing on his neck, 3 of them after he stops moving and has no pulse, is going to be a tough sell.

You could even convince me that Chauvin was not trying to compress the carotid, but merely restrain, but that wouldn’t be enough to get him off scot-free in my judgement, and certainly not in the mob’s judgement.

Thankfully, we have carotid arteries on either side of the neck that operate as back ups to one another.

Putting pressure on one will not affect(certainty to the point of death) the oxygen supply to the brain of a normal, healthy person.

In the end, the cop isn't a doctor and was following procedures to protect him, fellow officers and the public.

Obviously, we as a society cannot demand that each criminal go through health checks before they commit crimes to avoid dying during legal and sanctioned crime fighting procedures.

If you think about it, the whole premise of second guessing the legal and sanctioned procedures, in an after the fact manner, is very similar to Joe Biden suggestion to ‘just shoot them in the legs.'

Both suggestions(no knee on neck + shoot them in the legs) would cause more harm than good.

So there is no evidence that can be produced that will show the charged 2nd degree homicide is not warranted?

If so, you have just confessed to abrogating the underlying basis for our entire justice system. Congratulations for your promotion to judge/jury/executioner.

When I see stupid Freepers claim “race is but a social construct “

Or worse....”my daughter has a mixed baby and we love it so much “

It’s just idiotic platitudes

Leftism now rooted in racial redress doesn’t care how much you love black people

They want your birthright

Which is a lot more than your daft white daughter hate to tell you

he did have a heart attack .... I’m aware ... along with all the drugs in his system. His fate is his alone. He put himself in the position to have an interaction with the Minneapolis that afternoon.

But, in this day and age, Chauvin and his fellow officers should have been a wee-bit smarter. They had him subdued. He was on the ground saying he couldn’t breathe. If Floyd had his heart attack while sitting up against a car tire and Chauvin or the other officers were doing something for him, as they’re required to do, or at least pretending, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I’ve been filmed. When you’re looking straight at numerous iPhones and Androids, it’s time to modify your tactic.

But, the charges are a fantasy and when the cops aren’t held accountable to the standard the mob wants, which will come before election day, the country will burn once again.

A knee to the back is a common occurrence when you’re wrestling with someone. Whether by design or chance it inevitably happens. Once the cuffs are on, you have to shift gears, no matter what.

As for Taser’s, I’ve been tased in training but never used one. They’re commonplace all over the world because they do work as intended. However, there is a small group that wants them banned as well due to folks being teased and dying. Only later to be shown that they had a heart attack or something else and the electricity from the Taser was not the cause of death.

There were four of them. Why couldn't they subdue him without killing him?

A peoples even if defined somewhat by skin color must defend itself

I’d say the same were the black race under the same attack we are

And I did actually as a boy in Mississippi fifty years ago

But that ship has sailed

I’ve been preaching this here since my first day 20 years ago and I saw all these cucked over race so called conservatives

Many of whom lived to demonize my southern ancestry

I recognized this for what it was even then

Well here we are now

Does anyone still doubt me

I hate that I’m old for this
