Buffalo_Gal Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The media was enraged when people went to the beach without masks and no social distancing. Rioters out for 3 nights? No problemo! 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Whole thing stinks to me. Even down to the video of the guy getting killed. Found out this morning that the cop that "killed" the guy and the victim knew each other. They both worked security at the same bar. Dude probably isn't even dead.

dpberr Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 It's sad how nothing has changed since 1992, which at the time, felt like a moment when things might change. Cops in the US still don't know how to police, and remain either poorly trained, poorly led, or lack the skill to properly police. The black community still can't organize and protest without destructively burning their own neighborhood and economy down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police officers in this instance do not represent all law enforcement officers and the blacks participating in the looting, arson, and other criminal behavior do not represent all blacks... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black or white looters and arsonists are scum, not worthy of receiving any sympathy from the rest of us. Every one of those people should be arrested and punished. You trying to make it about anything else is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark3 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think in the age of social media we want to see things as binary because there are character limits preventing reasonable takes. the looters and people engaging in crime therefore have to be put in either the “good” basket with the protestors or the “bad“ basket with the police. And social media obviously isn’t going with the latter so this mob gets protected with nonsense logic (like, they are expressing their anger with the police) fact is, the protest is reasonable and understandable. The looters and criminal activity is not okay and not justifiable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes, criminal complaint says Derek Chauvin kept his knee pinned down on George Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday. Chauvin did not remove his knee after Floyd said “I can’t breathe” or after he shouted “Mama” and uttered “please,” the charging statement from the Hennepin County Attorney’s office says. He allegedly did not move his knee until nearly three minutes after another officer was unable to find Floyd’s pulse. The incident that prosecutors say cost Floyd his life could now send Chauvin, 44, to prison for as many as 35 years if he is convicted on the third-degree murder charge and second-degree manslaughter charge filed against him. The complaint says Floyd initially resisted being handcuffed when officers sought to arrest him on suspicion of trying to pay for a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill, but he then became compliant. He sat on the ground at officer Thomas Lane’s direction while Lane asked him questions. When Lane and officer J. Alexander Kueng tried to walk Floyd to a squad car, however, the complaint says that “Mr. Floyd stiffened up, fell to the ground, and told the officers he was claustrophobic.” Floyd allegedly continued to intentionally fall down and refuse to stand still to avoid entering the car, but the officers eventually got him into a passenger seat of the vehicle. At 8:19 p.m., Chauvin pulled Floyd out of the car and brought him to the ground, facedown and handcuffed, the complaint says. Kueng allegedly held Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Chauvin put his left knee near Floyd’s head and neck. The officers remained in position while Floyd said he could not breathe, according to the complaint. “You are talking fine,” they allegedly told him as he moved back and forth. Chauvin declined a suggestion from Lane that they turn Floyd onto his side, the complaint says. Again, the three officers stayed where they were. Floyd stopped moving at 8:24 p.m., and he stopped breathing or speaking a minute later. Kueng checked him for a pulse and could not find one, according to the complaint. Video shows the officers did not attempt to resuscitate Floyd. The officers allegedly remained in place until 8:27 p.m., when Chauvin took his knee off Floyd’s neck. First responders put Floyd on a gurney and brought him to the Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Did even try and save his life? Do people usually get arrested if they try and spend a fake twenty? I mean what if they received it for change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 ..maybe our on board counselor Koko78 can weigh in on the other three.....I'm assuming the prosecutorial proceedings are a bit more complex as far as what charges are applicable...I'll surmise there is a ton of evidentiary review happening relative to applicable charges as they are apparently complicit in some way....failure to intervene?....are they complicit?.....are they an accessory?.......the Georgia case indicted the purported "good samaritan" filming the jogger's murder with similar charges.....now add in the FBI/Fed involvement as far as potential Civil Rights violations......I would think Minnesota state prosecutors want to make sure every "I" is dotted and every "T" is crossed with appror=priate charges as well as a fulll understanding of Minnesota Appeals Court tendencies, certainly anticipating appeals.......Fed civil charges are another ball game IMO......
