Let's see . . . Obama had that problem damn near once every other month whereas Trump has had that problem once in three and a half years. Looks like Trump is doing much better than race-agitating Obama did. Why did these rioters pick now to riot? Hmmmmm . . . because the presidential contest is about to begin in ernest and the DNC ordered their leftist loyal media outlets to gin up race riots.
Fine . . . a Black man has a heart attack and dies while being arrested and traditional Dem Party voters decide that it is time to riot and loot and commit arson . . . because those big screen televisions and other items won't steal themselves. Rinse, wash, and repeat. Better?
Which politician in Minneapolis told them to kill George ? Which democratic policy allowed this ? This is NOT a political issue, is is a social issue of race and class. Nice try a diversion tho Kaepernick was protesting EXACTLY what happened in this incident. He was bringing in attention to how black people are treated in this country. He was bringing attention to the fact that black people are still treated as second class citizens. That black people are treated differently by the police. He was protesting EXACTLY what happened to George Floyd, BEFORE it happened to him. He was protesting against what happened to Eric Garner, and trying to tell us that if we didn’t stand up and address it, it would happen again. Guess he was Nostradamus on this one huh. And he is right. The problem is that you refused to hold your own side accountable, and deflect from that by blaming the other side. There should be no political sides when these incidents occur, but right on queue, the right saw what happened, wanted the officer arrested, and 2 days later, they realize that party comes first, so now we they have to tow the line. Hell, you cant even admit that Colin Kaepernick was right. This is EXACTLY why he took a knee. Which “liberal democrat” supported what happened here, or even supported the policy that let this happen. Go ahead, I’ll wait
I guess you are saying that Floyd was going to die that very second he did if there was not a copper within cooee of him, and had not been for months, yes?
Yep . . . that some people believe their skin tone is license to riot, loot, and commit arson. But then again that's pretty much what Barack Obama taught them over the course of eight years as he blamed everyone but the rioters and the looter and the arsonists.
You mean the police should have used their patented extra-sensory perception to KNOW that the man had a heart condition and therefore NOT arrest him?
If the culture of the police in Minneapolis supports the ,murder and mistreatment of black people and that city is run by Democrats then liberals have to take responsibility. If your claim is because the liberal government of a city did not directly order a murder they have no responsibility for the murder that claim is absurd if the murder was caused by racism or systemic problems in the police culture. Now if the incident in question is an isolated incident, what is the riot about?
No. They should not have had their neck on a man who was handcuffed, laying face down and not moving. That is assault, which lead to his death. Which is felony murder.
Orrrrrrrrr . . . it is an acceptable takedown and restraint technique used when a suspect claims to be ill and drops to the ground. Anyone bother to check into that and find out what official department training policies consist of?
Strangulation is restriction of air. A blood choke doesn't restrict air, it restricts the carotid artery. I knew that he wasn't strangled as soon as I saw the video. To restrict air, pressure is applied to the front of the throat. To restrict the carotid artery, pressure is applied to the side of the neck.
Which has nothing to do with the fact the knee to the neck contributed to his death. That’s murder 3.
except it’s not. Irrelevant what policy was. It is illegal to use excessive force. The man was handcuffed, laying face down and not moving. The cop had his knee on his neck for 7 minutes, while he was hand cuffed, laying face down and not moving. That’s assault and contributed to his death. Which is felony murder 3.
LOL. Maybe. In the meantime riot and loot, that will help prove all of the stereotypes wrong and will win over more of us moderates Said nobody ever, LOLOL
This man was not rioting when he died based on what we can see. He was already restrained and did not appear to be a threat. If what appeared to be excessive force was legal that is a problem with the system.
