    Holy crud . . . the series of trials lasted for over a freaking year and it was big national news . . . until the leftist-loyal MSM finally realized that the system was NOT going to wrongly lynch a bunch of officers simply as a homage to political correctness. At that point the entire thing was mysteriously written off by the MSM as . . . unimportant.

    If they resist sure. And many Italians were treated and killed in those day.. AND my grandfather was a Italian immigrant AND Italians were segregated, Sicilians/Mafia were actually consider the black sheep and treated as such in America! The Romans were considered the better culture and treated as such in America ;)

    Italians/mafia are pretty much extinct today, are you saying we should handle the THUG in the same manner America dealt with the Sicilians, well when we do folk like you don't approve of it ;)

    Stroke or not, what was the point of the knee on the neck? Punishment because the officer was frustrated? Sounds like he should have never been a cop to begin with.

    I am not going to do basic research for you in regards to historical matters. In any event you are now on ignore.

    Why is it that righties on this forum are so repulsed by the thought of citing their sources?

    Placing me on ignore? Probably for the best. You clearly don’t bring much to the conversation.

    So if your Italian grandfather suddenly collapsed to the ground in front of a cop, he would deserve a knee on his throat for throwing a tantrum?

    Every individual should be treated according to their behavior. From all appearances George Floyd was not, and the redress for this and the maltreatment he received will be handled in court. In all likelihood the MN AG, the local DA, the US AG, and the FBI will collaborate on the charges brought forth and will cooperate on a strategy of prosecution, a jury will make a final decision, and a judge will decide the punishment. The last thing I want to see is for them to run it through too fast and make mistakes that result in a mistrial being declared or defendants getting off on technicalities.

    There may be two trials, one on state and one on federal charges, idk.

    And the solution to that problem is to torch an Autozone store. Demonstrates the mature nature of the citizens there, doesn't it?

    Part of the question is why they think it makes sense to destroy an auto parts store with absolutely no relationship to the what they see as the problem.
    The idea that if something offends you, going on a rampage against anybody and everybody is some how righteous- is the thinking of children and fools.
    These jackasses are destroying their own neighborhoods. Companies will often just move out of places where people behave that way, and I would encourage them to do so.

    Reposting this because I feel it is relevant here.

    “Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. ... But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again.” [Martin Luther King Jr., "The Other America"]

    The rightie version:

    The victim had a tantrum, threw himself on the ground ( where experts say is the best place for a suspect) and then placed the cops knee on his neck and pushed up , choking himself to death....it was suicide !!!!

    What if Floyd was your Father, Mother, Brother or Sister, Wife or Child?
    Would a God^^m Autozone really be of any concern to you?

    Okay. But why aren't you directing these ideas toward your fellow Righties?
    They are the ones blaming the dead victim.

    Watch the video ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Doesn't matter what the expert say, THE GUY chose to lay down LOL :) Fact remains, it would have been far more comfortable in th eback of the squad car then on that oily, dirty hot asphalt..

    But I notice you avoid the question!

    What did Floyd do in the first place to get the attention of the police?

    People killed by bad cops isn't a race issue.

    It's an individual cop issue.
