On Monday night, Minneapolis police officers murdered a man named George Floyd.
And, yes, they murdered him. Some may object to the characterization given the blunt, hard candor of the term, but there’s no other way that any fair-minded person can view the video of a police officer consistently and persistently burying his knee into the neck of a man who eventually died due to the restriction of oxygen resulting from the placement of that knee onto his neck.
The Minnesota Vikings have issued a statement regarding the murder of George Floyd.
There are well-known chestnuts of people being rejected for police duties because their IQ was too *high*.
Which makes sense; you don't want analysis paralysis on the streets, but good horse sense.
Kneeling on a handcuffed, lying-in-the-street guy's neck, however, is not an example of horse sense, but the other end of the horse.
Amen. Well said!
At what point did he resist?
Please enlighten us all since you obviously were there or have seen evidence of resistance.
Bystanders pointed out that the decedent was not responsive and was not moving anymore. You can see he stopped breathing. The police did not even bother to perform a cursory check on a man in their legal custody and he died.
It really doesn’t matter at that point what the guy did before — he was very near dead at that point. They didn’t bother checking on him over the next several minutes either, by which time he was certainly dead.
From what I saw on the video it was first degree morder, and the cop should be charged and executed.
That said, it’s two-faced of the left to be outraged about a dirty cop after remaining silent while McCabe, Brennan, Strzok, Page, Comey, Biden and Obama cooked the books, spied on, and lied about their actions against team Trump.
“This should horrify every American.” — exactly and the color of the murdered man’s skin doesn’t matter. Floyd was murdered - and his life mattered.
The ONLY unknown is whether you're on drugs or NOT!
You have your head so far up your A$$ you could check yourself for bowel cancer.
true
You cant paint a picture with only one crayon in your box. and grey whiskers may have ate most of his only crayon. So ignor the kid scribbling one sided opinions all over the the walls in his corner of the room. Its grey whiskers doing the only thing his small mind can do. besides eating his other crayons.
actually, it hurt them, chik fil a has lost my business.like $60-$100 a month since then. its not much but im sure its a box of straws they can no longer afford
Thanks for the photo.
The video is bad enough. That photo with three cops on him.... I hope they all have their day in court.
God knew what he was doing. The minute he changed everyones language, they started to fall apart as a community. each went their own way after that..
Like that Las Vegas Costco shooting with the 4(?) cops yelling “get down”/ “Hands up”/ “on your knees”/ “drop the gun” (not in his hands) - guy gets shot and killed - but for some reason all of the cameras (including Costco’s) have problems and aren’t available.
“Look, I can constrain him with no hands! Ain’t I cool? “ A total bully cop.
“This should horrify every American.
Every single one of us.”
****
Spare me the fake drama. I’m a casting director and can easily spot BS vs acting anywhere. I can easily feel the white guilt in your post.
“actually, it hurt them, chik fil a has lost my business.like $60-$100”
They are close to us here in Hollywood and never returned after they went leftard in their politics. I could say I went to CFA once a month MAX before the “turn” as I thought they were overrated. I prefer BEEF burgers and there are lots of different burger places in L.A. to go to..
The rats now see another opportunity to get trump involved and label him as a racist once and for all.
He looks like the host of Cash Cab, Ben Bailey.
And it was done under color of law. The cops also LIED about the man resisting. Body camera footage shows he was compliant. These thug cops deserve to eat a bullet.
Metro cops and their benevolent associations, friends and famiy are powerful bullies. Regardless of race, when a suspect, CI or cop is killed under mysterious circumstances, the wagons circle, the city managers protect their hires, and their lawyers after 2-3 years pat themselves on the backs for writing multi-million-dollar checks to the victims’ family who are now no longer welcome in the area, and SAVING the locality money.
