dpberr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Once the weather gets warm... Unfortunately the situation in Minneapolis will be used as justification for looting in other big cities. It's coming. Most of these cities have closed all the pools, parks, summer programs and are filled with unemployed young people who've been under lockdown.

I have not heard a single person defend what the offending officer did in this case. So, why has he not been arrested? Remember, that doesn't mean 'convicted'. So far, he's been fired? That seems like a pretty odd response from an organization that just had one of their employees KILL SOMEONE ON VIDEO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET! I can see why the citizens are upset. If any of them did what this officer did, they would be in handcuffs before sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is a process and I am not a fan of that process, or any legal process, being driven by societal pressure. It should be driven by facts and the law. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big, embarrassing gaffe, followed by a tragedy/crime, then "spontaneous" riots which will force both candidates to make loud and clear statements on this issue. It's a "never fail to take advantage of a tragedy" play right from certain bad actors' playbooks. Only takes a few paid assets in a crowd to turn it from peaceful into something else. *warning, might be graphic -- just saw the full clip More: I assume I'm racist for this take, but I don't care when mobs of people get run over while violently attacking vehicles on the road...

B-Man Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I am confident that the 'officer' will be charged and convicted..................unfortunately (like with all murder cases) these things take an interminable amount of time.

The medical examiner rules on the manner of the death (natural, accidental, suicide, homicide, or undetermined) and cause of death (specific injuries that caused the death). The legal system determines whether it was murder. That process has just started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe the cop won't be charged? I'd estimate that 99% of the population would all agree that this cop should be charged with murder. Yet, everyone is arguing because of people like you who stoke fear and rage. I would bet anything that the DA charges the cop with murder in the next couple days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it wasn't a curb stomping. It was an officer using excessive force in the performance of official duties. It certainly doesn't make it right, nor defensible. Those are different scenarios. If it was an intentional "curb stomping," my guess is that the officer would be in custody. My personal opinion, based soley on the video evidence is that charges should be brought. I am sure they will. As I stated earlier, I am not a fan of the legal process being driven by emotion. Nor should you be. BTW, there are plenty of instances in which somone does something that results in a death and is not immediately arrested. Let the process work as it is designed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep down, Tibs and the leftists are begging for the locals to sweep this away so the riots can begin and they can post a false news report that the officers voted for Trump before someone correcting that lie.
