    Are you talking about that, Kim Jong Un wannabe, mongoloid who was obviously the leader of the squad of thugs in blue who was standing between the horrified (and disarmed by Democrats) black bystanders and George Floyd as he was squashed to death?

    Is he the guy you consider a "white thug"?

    It is a good thing you are not a detective. You would never solve a case.

    Chauvin and Floyd were co-workers at a bar doing security work. They knew each other. Floyd had a white girlfriend. It is possible that Chauvin's wife met Floyd at the bar and they eventually got to know each other. Based on Chauvin's history he was probably not the best guy to live with. Chauvin finds out about it and develops a hateful attitude toward Floyd. Last week Chauvin hears the call at the store and pulls up and sees that Floyd is the suspect. That makes his day and he takes over from the original responding cops. They might be aware of the situation so it is worth asking them about it. In any case Chauvin assaults Floyd and gets his buddies to help out. They throw Floyd on the ground and the two thug cops put their body weight on Floyd's torso, restricting his blood and oxygen flow. Chauvin attacks Floyd's neck area by using his knee to further strangle Floyd. He is careful to put his hand in his pocket so that it appears that he is not actively harming Floyd. It is a pose of complete domination over his enemy. The result is that Floyd dies because his oxygen and blood flow has been restricted.

    Chauvin fully expected to get away with it because he had done so in the past. Amy Klobuchar had refused to prosecute him for his prior acts of police brutality. The Asian cop also has a record of police brutality that cost the city about $25,000. The KKK DA has a record of kissing cops' butts instead of prosecuting them for their criminal activities against the citizens. Chauvin knows that the thug police union will spend a fortune to see that he doesn't go to prison and will whine to a cop-lover arbitrator to get him reinstated with back pay. He knows that the cops will do a superficial investigation and that the FBI will also cover for him. The Governor is also working to protect him. In the meantime the country is burning from coast to coast and from border to border.

    The wild card is that his wife got ticked off at him for killing Floyd and filed for divorce. If she reveals that she knew Floyd, Chavin's goose could be cooked and eaten. The police department was trying to intimidate her by having dozens of cops surround her house like a pack of hungry zombies. She may feel guilty about all of the chaos and destruction that has resulted and tell her story, if the cops don't kill her first.

    Why do you love killer thug cops? It must be because of the brainwashing you have received all of your life from watching Hollywood movies.

    Listening to media rhetoric it's almost like the civil rights movement never happened:

    They need to stop hiring the crazy psychos they use to provide the "training." The average cop has an IQ of 20.

    The Boogaloo is a bad joke that needs to be flushed out the bowels of humanity. Declare them a terrorist organization, arrest their leaders for sedition and armed insurrection, and locked them in deep dark hole buried by overused kitty litter.

    After the job is finished, visit to Quent Cordair Fine Art Gallery and have your soul sanitized with inspiration instead of rotted by depravation.

    People are getting sick of this social justice garbage. They are beginning to see that it is malarkey and some of those involved are only interested in creating chaos. Patience is running thin.

    American by choice, US citizen by birth, intellectually indebted to the ideas of the ancient Greeks, grateful to the Russian immigrant Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, and an admirer of Ayn Rand and her love for the New York City skyline, but what the hell does geography have to do with morality and civility?

    Ayn Rand: “Civil disobedience may be justifiable, in some cases, when and if an individual disobeys a law in order to bring an issue to court, as a test case. Such an action involves respect for legality and a protest directed only at a particular law which the individual seeks an opportunity to prove to be unjust. The same is true of a group of individuals when and if the risks involved are their own.

    But there is no justification, in a civilized society, for the kind of mass civil disobedience that involves the violation of the rights of others—regardless of whether the demonstrators’ goal is good or evil. The end does not justify the means. No one’s rights can be secured by the violation of the rights of others. Mass disobedience is an assault on the concept of rights: it is a mob’s defiance of legality as such.

    “Politically, mass civil disobedience is appropriate only as a prelude to civil war—as the declaration of a total break with a country’s political institutions.”

    Im not willing to surrender America to the mob. Declare martial law. Give “Shoot to kill” orders.

    People are also getting sick of police brutality and then watch folks who think it is ok making excuses for it.

    Tell that to the folks who have been on the receiving end of it.

    Hell patience for this garbage ran out a long time ago.

    ~ George Floyd "took a knee" . Maybe Colin Kaepernick feels guilty..?
    ~ I think in times of rioting property & business owners should be empowered to protect themselves exempt from liability .

    When YOUR authorized - Policing Institutions, - go out of their way to hire these sorts
    of - Retarded Sadistic Thugs, - and they proceed to perpetrate such Atrocities as the
    beating of Kelly Thomas to DEATH - in the street, and then a so called diseased and
    corrupt
    "Justice System" proceeds to Exonerate them, - Do not be surprised when
    ... people become enraged and Piss in the face of such established Law and proceed to
    ....... burn that filthy Church down when they perceive such Atrocities being committed
    ................................................................................................................................................................................. again & again

    Dude. That racist thug was helped out by 3 buddies. You're idea that all 4 didn't know how to do their job, with so much experience being on the force.... Frankly, it says a lot about Americans to go "kid around" when a black man got lynched so ugly. It's so exceptionally obvious. Them white thugs with badges are just men of their time in the US. A US where racism against the black community is normal for a whopping % of the white population. You don't need to be some Karin to call the cops when you're seeing a black person acting normal to be racist....

    I read that a group of Biden campaign staffers are donating to an organization which bails "protesters" out of jail. Seems like the money would be more appreciated by minority business owners to help them with repairs to rebuild and reopen.

    Most of the people being arrested are the destructive rioters who are taking the focus off the theme of police brutality, but if they want to bail out destructive white Antifa anarchist kids instead, because they think bail should be illegalized, it's up to them.

    So the answer is "yes". You do have more fairy tales fantasy...like a Grimm's Fairy Tale.

    I read that Floyd and Chauvin both worked part-time at the same club. The owner said they may have never met because Floyd was inside security and Chauvin worked outside the door and she had dozens of people working. They may have met; they may not have. Other relationships are pure fantasy.

    Facts not fiction. This story is tragic enough.

    Media really is fomenting race hatred and re-litigating all the positives which occurred 60 years ago with the Civil Rights Movement. I see one of the major networks running a series about the riots titling the stories under a heading "A Nation Divided". From what I see, this nation is most united in perceiving that Chauvin is guilty of negligence and/or murder and that the rioters are only adding insult to injury. The core messaging contradicts the reality in this specific case and media is driving a wedge deeper rather than trying to heal.

    We need to look broadly at solutions-based discussion, starting with a review of outdated police procedures and ideas on how we can be better.

    Oh, riots are justified because Trump is President? You advocating for a violent overthrow of the government? Where’s your manifesto? What ideology justifies the use of force against business owners and their business? Against churches and their congregations?
    My thoughts exactly.

    You don't know if the officers were racists or not. If it is approved police procedure in Minneapolis to restrain a citizen with a knee on their neck, then the main problem is the police procedure, not individual police officers. Obviously, in this case, no one thinks that Chauvin's actions were normal or appropriate, regardless of official procedure. Still, we have no idea what was going on in his mind at the time he used excessive and egregious force.

    If the officers are "just men of their time in the US", they are a reflection of training practices and not of racism. If we reform acceptable police practices, then it doesn't really matter how a white, black. brown, or Asian officer personally feels about people of other races. If they want their paycheck, they have to do their job. So change the scope of job practices around what is acceptable use of force.

    yeah. We got somebody looking partially Asian and here you are comparing him with a ruthless Asian dictator.
    Do you compare white people with Hitler, because he was white as well? I doubt it.
    Fine show how racism against minorities is just present in forum like this, with no care in the world.

    The ME found no evidence that strangulation or asphyxiation caused the death, it was cardiac due to existing conditions. He difficulty in getting oxygen into his blood and CO2 our was due to his heart not pumping properly. YES the officers should be charge with crimes for the abuse they showed him but that they CAUSED his death is not supported by what the ME has released so far.
