    If someone steals your car and commits a crime with it you just take the rap? If they smash it into someone's house you just pay the lawsuit?

    I've seen the cops called many times in my years, I have the fingers to count how many times they did anything to help the situations they were called for on one hand.....

    So if somebody steals your car you wouldn't report it?

    I would, the reason you do that is first to claim it in insurance. Also if any crimes are committed in it the police won't come arrest you.

    They do plenty, they just aren't Batman.

    black people should know by now not to put their neck under a cop's knee.

    I didn't say all situations, just the vast majority. Cops mostly escalate violence, and have no obligation to public saftey whatever.....

    I am a cop guy but in this instance, from the video shown, that cop, and his partner who did nothing to intervene, murdered that man.

    Unfortunately I no longer trust police to be honest about accusations of black people resisting arrest in a violent manner.

    I need to see a video

    Exactly.

    I will never takes a Cop's word (ever again) on these sorts of incidents.

    They have a history of lying to cover their tracks.

    Lying by cops is systemic.

    I remember when the New York City Police Union was literally complaining about people making videos of altercations between police and black people.

    They literally don't want evidence to go public

    The intent was to control and to hurt the arrestee not to kill.

    But there you are: felony manslaughter and some years in with the bros.

    He incites this type of police behavior. He's going to get a lot of cops ambushed and there will be no tears shed.

    More than make national media. Cops are equal opportunity brutes but dont expect the MSM to fill you in. They want a race war, they are fomenting it at the hands of their masters.

    Anxiously awaiting their very public apology.


    "The man pictured wearing the hat is Jonathan Lee Riches, not Chauvin. Riches confirmed that he is the man in the photo but claims the hat and hand have been superimposed into it."

    Question, please.

    The videos I've seen show Floyd being apprehended, handcuffed, and sitting on the ground with his back against a building. The next thing we see is Floyd beside the right-rear a police vehicle with his head on the pavement and a policeman's knee on his neck.

    WHAT HAPPENED IN-BETWEEN THESE TWO EVENTS? And, what was Floyd being arrested for in the FIRST PLACE?!
