The cops fucked this up all the way around including the state police arresting an American journalist in AMERICA on fucking live TV. Oh, yeah. He’s a black latino... figures.


Right

Who has defended them?

I think murder 2 might stick - but they had to be careful  Differnce in sentencing is just 15 years (25 v 40 max) - and charging up to 2 - though I think that is what likely occurred - would run the risk of an acquittal

As of now the case looks air tight.

Oh bullshit.

Arrest the guy the same day you fire his ass,

The video seems to suggest second degree murder.
But to placate the mob (and more riots) the charge is third degree( without an indictment)So we have an arrest.
Trying to up the charge later may not result in justice for this type of heinous crime.

He will get 20 years, likely serve 10-12.  Sadly.

George is dead.

The cop is a murderer.

This ain't Rodney King or Nick Sandmann... the video is indisputable.

So, if it were YOU close enough to videotape Floyd's death, don't you think you would have done something?

I can appreciate everyone"s take on the matter who was there.  And their critique of Officer That for doing nothing.  But what happens if a citizen intervenes?

You might have a chance.

If I intervened?

I’d need a lawyer and a surgeon and not in that order.

But George would be alive

No.

Damn.  Trump just said, "The police have done a great job"

Surely he will be criticized for that general assertion

Then he was baited by a reporter - "Do you think there were good people among the protestors?"

Obviously they wanted him to say NO, then they could compare it to Charlottesville.

He should be criticized
.

Don’t ever say another fucking word about the first amendment.

See?  You commented without context.  Trump was alluding to cops across the nation - and he is right - the majority are very good - and doing an extremely tough job.

If you have 10 bad cops and 1000 good cops, but the good cops do not report the bad cops, then you have 1010 bad cops.

Not original to me.

But just true and you hate to admit it.

“Non-violence is a tactic. It is not the only tactic. It is not the “correct” tactic. It is a single tool in a box filled with instruments meant to dismantle oppressive systems.

Some jobs require glue, others require a hammer, most need both. Don’t mistake situational appropriateness for moral superiority.“

While the murderers were signing up to be cops, the rapists were joining up with ICE.

I don’t know anything about this “us” you pretend to speak for. You live in that shithole country behind your eyes. It’s a garderobe midden for the lowest grifters, hate mongers, bots and trolls. The food sucks. Everyone there is some kind of degenerative idiot.

Should you accidentally stumble into Earth One, it would be a good idea if you kept your stupid fucking mouth snapped shut.

You believe that corruption among police is okay, Ward.

I don't.

And "the rest of us" in this case is pretty likely to be you and Kid - and possibly just you.

Yes, I grant that the rest of the GOP sees it as "If we don't report them, then they didn't get caught, so we have 1010 "good" cops."

We call that "evil" where the rest of us come from.
