Orlando Buffalo

You guys are so absurd- sometimes I truly think you and a few others main goal is to get Trump reelected. Basically you make stupid comments that have no basis in reality and then try to defend your ignorance with more ignorance. Trump has been communicating with the American people everyday, he has denounced the cop, and stated the protesters had a point. The fact he does it through Twitter somehow means y'all missed it but even I have seen the tweets and I try to avoid Twitter.

You pretend that the Chicago mayor has not literally proudly told Trump to F U and the rest of the mayor of these cities have said almost as bad. Also why do you think any of these rioters would care what he said? These people believe that two wrongs make a right. But you are proving my point- liberals expect more of conservative people then they do of liberals.

You are suggesting he remove the mayor and governors and declare martial law? These problems are local problems that need local solutions- if you think Trump is responsible what should he do besides tell the mayor's and governors he will send in police help if requested which he has already done

I am confused how it is political since all the problems are in liberal cities caused by liberal people and being allowed to continue because of liberal policies. There is nothing being done by conservative people that caused any of this unless you want to argue that a cop in an extremely liberal city is conservative, which is possible but not known. I simply hope these riots end quickly but the liberals are mostly in charge of that decision. I notice you did not mention Obama in 2014 with the Michael Brown situation which would obviously be a much more appropriate comparison. Trump has been better than Obama which even NPR called out for his failings and how slow he was to respond. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/08/22/341935015/obamas-reaction-to-ferguson-raises-questions-about-presidents-role

I only diagree in that I think we will have two very different parts of the country, NY/Cali kind of liberal which will be just the cities where normal people will avoid and the rest of the country. I also feel this process will accelerate over the next two years since Covid showed people how uncomfortable life is when you are not able to leave your apartment. I feel a large amount of NYC folk are leaving for more open pastures soon leaving behind mainly the poor people to deal with the criminals.

I am literally fascinated by the coverage to the George Floyd riots and how Trump caused them. The people rioting are not Trump voters, the political leaders of the areas rioting are not in agreement with Trump, and Trump has denounced the riots and stated the cop needs to be arrested. Basically Trump has become their god and all that is done is by his will and his commands.

Rochester has about 5-10% of the community who suck, the problem is they give those people extra rights to be even worse. Good communities arrest them and prosecute them.

If the news here is correct in Orlando then last night as the proper protest ended and most of the people left the rioters started pulling their crap and throwing rocks at cops and getting on highways to block traffic.

What happened with being hung on charges? I assume the lesser one sticks. Please tell me that the trial does not have be retried at that point.

I doubt it goes to trial- unless he thinks he can beat the charge he will accept a plea deal to not be in general population. If he ends up in general population he knows he is dead within a week.

Do you honestly believe that we will ever get rid of every bad cop? Assuming you agree that level of thinking is childish and stupid then what else can be done now besides prosecute and convict him? If this stuff was as common place as you pretend it would never make the news. Chicago has had about 200 murders this year already but no one cares because it is expected. This cop should be convicted but stop pretending he is common.

He is my easy winner not named Josh because of what you said. I do not worry about him doing anything stupid.

You must truly be a racist if you assume the rioters are all black. My standard is behavior yours is clearly race.

I will agree with you twice in a week Tibs- I am starting to question my own intelligence. Though the cops I know do not say racist things around me ever but I know that racist people love the power that comes from being a cop and they need to be removed

So how is looting a business part of a protest against police brutality? But I find it sad that you actually think the men who showed up to protest the lockdown were there for haircuts. Those men wanted to be left alone by govt and allowed to open their businesses since they felt the govt was oppressing them. Since peaceful protests are guaranteed by the constitution I support both groups to make their voices heard so long as it is peaceful.

You and I must have lived in very different places, I am friends with several local cops and they are not as you state here. I think maybe in large cities it is like you say, which is not to say it is acceptable but you are painting with a very wide brush.

The funniest people are the people from out of town who came here (Florida) because we are reopened for the most part and then complain about others not following social distance and such. Without them here we could enjoy our time on the beach and not worry about it.

I think you are going to far with this statement but I will state that good cops should actively try and force out bad cops. The good cops will pay for the actions of this guy for years and it is apparent that this not his first time if the reports are true. Also all four should be arrested immediately since there is no way their will not be a criminal trial. But I will not blame all cops for the actions of a few.

On that point you are correct- but you took a long and meandering road to get there if that was your main point

I assure you I am not a SJW but this video is one of the worst things I have ever seen by a police officer. Obviously the looting is unrelated to the proper outrage but this one of the first times the SJW narrative seems to be correct and I agree these cops need to be charged

I have never been a cop but how hard it is to maintain control of a guy that is cuffed on his belly? I am sorry but I see no defense at all for what that cop did and he should be charged.

I can not find anything right now that does not refer to the dump of 2020 by those guys but here is a article that references things I am referring to- the one I remember mostly had to do with Xerox who had a ton of stock bought up by politicians and then "won" the contract to be printer of choice for NYS. https://insidertrading.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=001580 I am not going to cast aspersions at individuals beyond many of the choices make the politicians lots of money.

C'mon we have 5 years till Trump is done here, they might try a completely new angle. Of course the strongest indication of future behavior is past behavior so you are most likely right

She was not bright- but she felt ok to say dumb things so long as it never insulted minorities. The difference though between you and me is I take full quotes and not just the parts that allow me to be outraged.

Unfortunately chemistry majors must go through English and Sociology classes. My worst professor was a sociology professor who told me math was mainly used to keep minorities down. She also bad mouthed anyone who was successful financially and one fine day said everyone who lived in my town was racist because there was a racist cop who lived there- I have no idea if he was racist.
