Some hero you have there pal.
When a THUG removes their property from them and beats them silly, then, and only then, will some get a clue about what we’re up against.
Being drunk carries a death sentence in Minneapolis? Guess it’s because all the somali muzzies.
Tossing that insult around will work until it doesn't.
Drunks can certainly be difficult...many years working in a big city ER taught me that.But my years there also taught me that one doesn’t place their entire weight on someone’s neck unless a) they’re utterly insane or b) they’re trying to “send a message”.
Some hero you have there pal.
But I have trouble believing the same is true of this guy...even if he was drunk.
Thank you for posting this. I suspected the possibility of alcohol and/or drugs which if so will be confirmed in the autopsy results. This might also explain why there’s a spittle puddle next to his face, and he lost control of his urine which ran next to the vehicle. He had complained of his stomach being upset as reported prior.
Of course this doesn’t mean the officer isn’t responsible for the death of Floyd as he died in his care. But it would add to Floyd’s inability to endure the pressure of the knee hold, and all the more if he was resisting any time during the arrest.
Are “gentile giants” gentle when they’re drunk and passing counterfeit bills?
‘to our white-guilt, cop-hating Freepers who dont wait until more evidence comes out after a racial incident :)’
yep, you’ve convinced me; he should’ve had both of the cop’s knees on his neck...
I work at a bar, I do it all the time. Additionally if they’ve had too much to drink I have a responsibility to get them into a cab so they get home safely. If you can’t handle the job find another one.
Who needs judges and legislature when Cops are the arbiter of laws in the land and are above reproach for anything they do, especially on camera? No one is allowed outrage for watching a man be murdered (depraved indifference while in custody is murder, even if it's not 1st degree) and doesn't have one inkling of remourse?
It's good to know where you stand when it comes to the growing police state.
I hope that someone stands up for you when someone arbitrarily decides that you're next to be ground under the police state boot.
This entire article is an irrelevant misdirection. The issue is not whether or not Floyd deserved to be arrested. He probably did. The issue is that, once the police had him subdued, they KILLED HIM. Either the cop killed him deliberately, or he did it by accident, which means we’re really only arguing about whether this is a case of murder or negligent homicide.
FRiend, alcohol makes it even more horrible as Floyd was passive. This isn’t white guilt, it is pursuing truth and justice. Freep isn’t a white conservatives only board, and blacks are always wrong. Many blacks were founding fathers and blacks should be more thankful they are in this country, enjoying what their ancestors endured.
I posted this yesterday...it still works here.
“My chime in on this is a frustrating one...my mind is a pinball machine on this. It is heartbreaking. I live in an interracial marriage, two bi-racial sons. Many of you say, shut up, it doesn’t matter. Well, yeah, it does. I see pastors yelling on FB for justice; I see videos of black men saying racism is rampant...and killing of black men rampant, and the virus is killing us and racism is killing us. I disagree. I see a disregard for human life and not valuing someone other than ourselves...a desensitization of human life. I see an idiot, macho piece of human excrement put his knee on another man’s neck, assuming he can do that, assuming he has such power and right to do so. Not caring...he should be in prison for life and his accomplices, who did nothing to stop him, also guilty. These uncaring, “group-behaviored-macho-collectively-lower-IQ” men cared not for this man. They have again, divided our country, causing again, the race merchants to come off the unemployed, and disrupt the country in what I see anecdotally, movement towards unity...now, Chicago black-on-black shootings will be ignored...again, disregard for human life...my frustration is the ebb and flow, push and pull of having to explain this crap to my mature, well-rounded sons, who, BTW, are smart as heck, and streetsmart at the same time...I am very frustrated, ...I hate Facebook, Twitter, Youtube...it’s like going metaphorically back to GO, not appreciating where we have come to in this country...again, blacks will collectively be re-energized to distrust anyone white, especially like me, a white man. I hate this. PDJT, BTW, did the exact right thing. I think I’ll go play Kansas’ Carry On My Wayward Son...I’ll feel better soon, but thanks for reading and listening, my fellow Freepers.”
Some guy was drunk and passing fake $20's, nothing else to do except cuff him and have some 180lb. cop kneel on his neck until he's dead. /s
Drunk and disorderly, plus committing theft with counterfeit money. The more interactions you have with the police, the higher chance an incident like this can happen. Death penalty? Nah, not in the modern world although theft did carry immediate hanging not that long ago.
The police involved should face justice for what they did. Maybe certain people should learn to quit committing crimes as a livelihood as well? I don’t commit crime for a living, thus my run-ins with the police are minimal, therefore my chance of being killed by them is far less than a George Floyd.
The media needs to be held to task for highlighting who the dealers and suppliers are.
The media, especially Hollywood which glorifies illicit drug use to sell movies, needs to be held to task for their contribution to his death and how illicit drugs negatively impact communities.
Sports figures and celebrities who glorify illicit drug use also need to be held to task for their contributions to deaths such as these.
Certainly grounds to kill him. What were we thinking?
No white-guilt here. I’m sure we will get more insights on how it all started, autopsy report etc. Good. The jury will certainly need to see all the evidence before sending this scumbag cop to prison. My guess is some prisoner will knee this cop to death in the yard.
