George Floyd Profile Reads Like A Career Criminal

Likely....though regardless of the people involved, if the “Pharmacy“ required a felony arrest, you can bet cuffs would be used.

 

When cops just make up that people are resisting arrest all the time. You can't trust a department where racism is institutionalized. As an example:

If the majority of black people from a particular area are poor, I feel you’re going to get a higher number resisting arrest. They have no lawyers, no bail and no opportunity to survive even the most minor of offenses while serving significant jail time.

It’s a systemic problem that needs to be addressed with police not taking the lead in a lot activities they should not be engaged in. Unless there is an observed felony, child or spousal endangerment, the threat of arrest should not be on the mind of the subject. If the threat isn’t on the subject’s mind, it becomes a problem solving intervention and not a threatening one.

 

Why is the systemic issue all about how we have to treat the criminals but we don’t want to discuss the systemic issue of so many damn criminals?

 

We have pockets of poverty where the only employment is drug dealing and prostitution and gun running.

The way we treat our poor and homeless is an indication of our poor success rate. One party is only concerned with the rich and making it more difficult for the poor to participate in our democracy. You think 3 to seven hour waits just to vote doesn’t breed criminality ? It does.

 

I don’t believe drug dealers are voters. These criminals would have no issue slitting your throats for the little cash you have on you.

Capital punishment is under used in this country.

 

If they can vote at all ... because if a "felony", they lost their right to vote

 

Don't a lot of the resisting arrest situations develop from people on probation or parole?

 

Ah so the cops just make it up and they're all just a bunch of racists. Even the black one's are racist against other blacks. It's all a huge conspiracy. Sad things is so many actually believe this bullshit and that's why we've got so much rioting and looting I suppose.

 

Do you have a source ? And, would it matter ? They know an arrest will get them lots jail time regardless. LooK at the white, connected and lawyered up. Having a public defender is a joke.

 

If you are on probation or parole you know with certainty you are going away. If you just got pulled over for a minor infraction there probably aren't in all that much trouble unless you run or fight or both.

White offenders use court appointed as well. You'd be surprised at how many white people are neither rich or privileged. It's the luck of the draw, some public defenders do a conscientious job. I did not read that somewhere, I have seen it.

 

Look at Raychard Brooks.. at most, a misdemeanor DUI and he wasn’t even caught in the act. Completely cooperative and off the road. They had his car, access to license and within walking distance of a safe house, his sister. He knows an arrest will mean jail time and for what ? Pulling off the road, being safe and sleeping it off ? At most, he could have just been issued a summons.....they had his car and license. It’s BS that they tried to arrest him. In the video, they never gave him options which a white female for example, would easily have gotten. The cops were determined to make a bigger case then it was.

 

Ha ha..
What’s your point ? I’ve always looked at this as a problem of the poor made acute to Blacks who maybe in poor neighborhoods. You miss the point. Once you have the car and license, as a cop, you have many more options then arresting someone for a misdemeanor...



.

 

If your on parole/probation, you aren’t going back in for a minor traffic infraction. You’ll come up with a better example. Neither will you be arrested.

 

Ahh, no. It’s a TV movie fake situation. Parolees report to their parole officers...your making up generalities.

 

You have a real strange idea of what goes on on the street, most of it incorrect.

Capital punishment of whom ? The poor ?

 

The cops were following the law and arresting a man too drunk to drive, it's their job. The man fell asleep in the drive through line, didn't even get far enough to order a burger. White females get tickets too. His arrest was not only justified it was required for both his own safety and that of others.

 

DUI is a mere misdemeanor?

 

This is a perfect example of how these things get blown totally out of proportion. Minor infraction? The man was so drunk he passed out behind the wheel in a drive thru lane at a burger shop. You have changed the narrative to suit your view and some persecuted idiot will read it and think you know what you are talking about. Of course we know better than that here.

 

Thats crappolla. You just said it. A white female gets a ticket ( a summons) . A white female sleeping in a car is at risk and should be protected. Guess what, ANY MALE in a private way should be too.

No they weren’t. He was sleeping in a parked car OFF THE ROAD on a private way. There is no mandatory arrest for DUI In this situations. It’s at most, a summons for most enforcements, unless you’re black and or poor.

A good lawyer would sue the city for an arrest here, which police don’t fear of the poor.

 

In most states it is for first offense and I saw nothing that said otherwise. You’re under the mistaken opinion that misdemeanors are not crimes. They are. It’s still a criminal offense . If I write a summons for speeding and it reaches the number to be a habitual offense, it then reaches the status of misdemeanor. You have to be asking for trouble to arrest people for them.

Do you really know Hiw serious the power of arrest is ?
Doesn’t sound like it. A summons will do. You can hold both the car and the license if there is any problem.

 

Seriously. You’re watching too many TV reality shows that only depict arrest situations. Police make millions of contacts nation wide and numerically few end in arrest, you don’t really know how serious arrests are. You’re taking away a persons civil and constitutional rights. If you make arrests for DUIs off the public way, you’re begging for trouble. They only do it with severe mitigating circumstances....this isn’t one. The cops were a-holes and imo, racially bias.

 

Drug dealers, addicts, and users.

 

Because when racism is institutionalized, the issue is in this case that cops systematically are targeting black criminals and not so much the white criminals. Do note... targeting. When an arrest is made, than again the cops tend up to arrest far more black people again vs white people... ON TOP of that. And ON TOP of both of that,... black people are far more likely to be convicted. And ones convicted get longer sentences compared to white people (even incl criminal background). The institutionalized racism is to be found at every corner of that process. This has been proved that it is so under drug users/sellers where white people are slightly more criminal than black people on average, while the % of black people in jail is many times higher than that.

To only focus on who got convicted is willingly turning a blind eye about how a black people are relentlessly being hunted down to get convicted vs white people. And the finger why this is, is pointing at the predominantly white community, and their cultural heritage.

 

Not sure about there but in Wa it is a gross misdemeanor and you are cuffed and taken to jail. Don't believe the officers have any option if the breathalyzer is failed.
