it won’t matter to those who scream RACIST when a cop shoots an armed suspect “They could’ve tasered him” or as Biden says “shot him in the leg”

At this point, people wouldn’t care if he was strangling a six year old. They’ve gone too far into Cult of Personality Land to back down. And militant blacks really do feel that the police should simply let them do whatever they want, because the whole world owes them a lifetime of diplomatic immunity and regular cash payouts.

So it begins my white ass

This nation and half this forum is so cucked over blackness that I doubt this ship will ever be righted

Baring bloodshed the likes the world has never seen

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

Honestly

It’s disgusting

Western civilization in 100 years will be one big brown idiocracy ...

It’ll be feral Heinz 57 Brasil

Overlorded by Chinese who suffer no such self doubt or guilt

LIke clockwork, the same as Michael brown. Aubry etc, there is ALWAYS a close video which shows what really happened. Not one picture. Boy, I wonder what those cop-hating, white guilt, Freepers will say now that went on a forum rampage about murderous cops. But! I’ll visit those threads again LOL

This isn’t going to excuse what the cop did.

have you seen the second half of the interview?

The comments by the white self loathers below the video on cuomo’s site are sad- they just got told the hold is legal, the man was high on drugs, and was resisting-

Floyd fell down yelling about being ‘claustrophobic’- claiming that he ‘couldn’t breathe’ long before he was taken to cop car- and said how he wasn’t gonna go i n the car because he was claustrophobic- yet the police had taken him OUT of the Car Floyd had been riding in to go to the store- so right there George has let the police know he was lying- they had no reason to believe anything he was saying from that point on-

The only issue then becomes did the cop held the hold too long?- A Hold that all police forces use on violent perps who resist arrest- They were likely waiting for the ambulance to get there which he likely thought was almost there- if he could hear it approaching- may very well have heard the sirens coming towards them-

Like several had said- George was likely suffering a heart attack- unbeknownst to the police- He was breathing and talking fine- for 5-6 minutes- claiming he’ couldn’t breath’-

I find it very odd that a policeperson would intentionally kill a person knowing full well they were being filmed/recorded- and knowing many witnesses were standing nearby watching- and knowing their body cameras were recording everything- knowing that if he went to prison for murder- he likely would not survive in prison- ESPECIALLY since the person was black-

I was a cop/detective in a major metro department. I know there are other cops on FR. We’ve fought folks with our hands and all the toys authorized by law. Most of us have dealt with people, after being handcuffed, that tried to kick out the windows of patrol cars.

At the end of the day, absolutely none of that has anything to do with kneeling on the guys neck for that long. Long enough to see that he was relatively calm, there were two other officers helping to restrain him.

Do I feel sorry for Floyd? 10000% I DO NOT. Much talk about how he was turning his life around after getting out of prison. Really? Why was he high and trying to pass fake money?

The only people I feel bad for are the ones that have lost their lives during this sh*tshow, the ones injured during this sh*tshow, the business owners that have lost everything, and everyone else that has had their lives effected by these f*cking scumbag protesters.

At the end of the day, regardless of what Floyd did to get put in cuffs and what he did after he was put in the backseat, it won’t matter.

The cops appeared to have him under control, whether through the techniques they used, the drugs wearing off, Floyd finally realizing his fate, or a combination thereof and they’re supposed to be smarter.

Everyone LEO is taught, and I can assure you that it isn’t easy, that once they’re in cuffs, the situation changes and it’s the cops job to de-escalate and prevent anything else from happening to them.

It doesn’t matter what went before. The cop kept his knee on the neck for 5 minutes after Floyd became unresponsive and incontinent without checking on his condition. That was the crime not whatever happened before that

Kicking and screaming happens thousands of times a day when a copy makes an arrest...and they’re not murdered. The attempt to shamelessly justify his killing is repulsive.

That’s not new info and no justification for killing him.

The democrat controlled media delberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black. When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured but the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote that action of resisting arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Just like every other case like this there is more to the story. Of course the MSM purposely created a narrative and unfortunately many people bought it hook line and sinker.

The attorney, Thomas Lane, seemed out of focus and barely able to follow the questions. I wonder if he has the mental aptitude to act for the defendant.

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.

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.
