CNN will not be satisfied until they have instigated an honest=to=God race war.

13 year olds in Chicago don’t have pistols because they are hunting squirrels. He had that gun because he was a gang banger, and the older gang bangers let the 13 year olds do the killing because they won’t go to big boy prison.

“The officer put down a little monster. “Lil Homicide” is worm food now.”

Sweet young Adam was running cover for a Latin Kings hit man. His job was to take the evidence, the hitter’s gun and gloves, run like hell, and ditch it. That made him an accessory before the fact to attempted murder, IOW guilty of the underlying attempt. Indeed, viewed from the gang’s perspective, he performed his mission well and courageously, something that would have given him a big promotion if he’d survived. He was well on his was well on his way to becoming a champion hitman for the gang. It’s good that the little piece of lethal vermin got flushed when he did.

Video footage only gives a glimpse of what happened and those involved. That is why the MSM loves them. It lets them decide the story instead of finding out the truth.

“People who should be rounded up and imprisoned for life?”

“Correct! We would have also accepted “Name a group of scumbags?”.”

Lots of railings to be had from a race war and martial law.

Look for the Chauvin video with his knee actually on the shoulder blade.

I fault Chauvin for gross negligence and dereliction of duty as Floyd died in his hands and he did not respond, not even when his own officer said there was no pulse.

I don’t know if Floyd was suffocated by the weight of the officers and their positioning of him, or to what degree that was a factor in his death. Chauvin still bears fault.

Chauvin is 140 lbs.

Floyd was 230 lbs.

It was unacceptable for a 13 year old to be out after 3AM, in possession of a gun, and fleeing a police officer.

It is a tragedy how he lived his life. He probably would have ended up killing or being killed.

Over the long run, how many lives were saved because his was taken? We'll never know.

It’s not one light weight cop, it’s the weight of three cops plus the prone positioning that might have asphyxiated Floyd.

I didn’t claim that they did asphyxiate him. I said they failed to act when he stopped breathing, turned color, lost a pulse, and that Chauvin as officer in charge is particularly liable. He disregarded one of the officers saying there was no pulse. That calls for immediate CPR. Not continued restraints.
