Using this standard we should not have police in our nation any more. People do not comprehend how dangerous this path we have started upon really is.
Michael Brown and Ferguson - riots and massive condemnation of the officer who was proven correct by multiple investigations including by a highly partisan DA. The narrative was a lie.
Freddy Gray and Baltimore - again, officers acquitted after riots and being condemned. The narrative was a lie.
The officer(s) appear to have been justified in Atlanta and in Kenosha based on what we know, but again, a narrative is put out there to divide us.
The narrative of George Floyd appears different today as well. The fatal level of the drug cocktail in his system along with the underlying heart condition as well as the training of the MPS mean even that case, as bad as it looked, is not nearly as clean-cut as everyone made it out to be.
Officers have to make snap decisions as Trump tried to point out the other day. Some of those decisions are better than others, but a decision has to be made in the moment, not in minutes after other facts are interjected as the monday morning QB’s do. Furthermore, the criminal behavior of these “victims” is completely ignored.
Some officers get it wrong, but the majority get it right more often than not. They deserve due process and they are not getting it right now. They will justifiably not do their job in such an environment and this seems to be the goal of the left (listen to their words).
The real victims of all of this, including innocent children, will be those who live in areas prone to high crime and gang violence. Their names matter far more to me than the criminals who created the situations that led to the narrative.
Notice how the Aubery case dropped off the radar?
They were originally going to use that one but Floyd had much better video.
None of this has anything to do with civil rights, of course, or "systemic racism".
This is the Democrat Party , their communist allies; antifa, Burn Loot Murder and many others attempting to overthrow the government of the United States.
Thank God we have PDJT to fight for us.
Good post.
I would note that the latest psychotic OD druggy in Rochester that the cops are acucused of killing was restrained in almost the exact same manner as Floyd, on his stomach while being physically restrained. Clearly this is not “murder,” this is how they are trained to deal with this situation. But if the suspect ODs they shouldn’t then be charged with murder. It’s ridiculous.
