Chauvin never stood a chance. RIP in Prison.

[WeightPSHR]

Sometimes the person not following orders isn't able to because they are mental cases. A (white) man waving a replica handgun was fatally shot by police in a Portland park a few weeks ago. Not saying it's the LEO's fault because he was doing his job and likely couldn't be sure whether it was a real gun or not. But, you have to wonder how it must feel to know you killed someone who was mentally disturbed and as it turned out, unarmed.

To make matters worse. An angry mob formed to demonstrate against the police.   

I agree with this, but it's not the case with most of the cases with black criminals recently. They knew all too well they were being arrested, etc and decided to not listen to LEO.

Until back people learn to listen to authority, nothing is going to change. These protests obviously aren't doing anything and are potentially making things worse.

Having the criminals take accountability for their actions is what is needed for change. It will protect them from those gosh darn racists cops that seem to be everywhere, right?

[Al Doggity]

Do you think Floyd would be alive today if he had not resisted arrest?

Possibly. He'd probably also be alive if Chauvin had behaved lawfully.

Why do you think the blacks have such a hard time obeying LEO?

Why do you think in just about every recent event involving police the criminal suspect was black and resisting arrest?

There are plenty of whites  who have a hard time obeying LEO.  A 5 second google search will return a multitude of videos of white suspects physically assaulting police. Yet, interestingly enough, every event you're aware involved a black suspect.

Why is it that blacks kill more blacks themselves, but they're not out there doing any protesting about it?

See above.

Al is nailing it here.

George Floyd was a scumbag and he should not be a symbol for any movement or ethnicity.

That said Chauvin displayed a careless lack of regard for his job, authority and responsibility. His decision that day directly lead to this hot take of civil unrest.

Chauvin could have detained or even killed Floyd in a number of ways without creating the firestorm he did. When the video recorders were asking for him to remove his knee he stared and ignored them as if he was not accountable to anyone.

If he felt what he was doing was necessary, in the moment, he should have took the stand and defended his actions. He could have easily explained Floyd being a menacing unruly  giant of a man with a life of violence  that he couldn’t contain and he feared for his safety and life and many would have understood, but he said nothing.....

Again George may have died regardless, he was a scumbag and a threat to society and anyone who drives while high, forcibly enters into a pregnant woman’s home at gun point deserves death.

But it can’t be a slow and deliberate public execution by the very ones who are to protect and serve the public.

I agree, there are quite a few whites that don't listen to LEO, but we don't hear about them and you don't see whites burning down their cities either do you?

You hit the nail on the head here regarding the events I'm aware of. Does the media report on any of these white people that are either disobeying cops or being beaten by cops?The media and dems exploit blacks. Hope you realize that.

Hell, it's considered racist to expect a black person to have a photo ID so I guess anything's possible these days.

Solid post.

I understand the joy of watching a criminal getting rekt, but even a POS deserves a due process, and more importantly, the punishment has to fit the crime.

no he wouldn't, he swallowed the 3 times the lethal dose of fetanyl

the whites people assaulting police or getting killed by police get zero media coverage, doesn't fit the narrative

With twice as many whites being killed by cops per year, why isn't the media blasting those videos in your face 24/7?

[WeightPSHR]

Oh, but that would mean the cops aren't racist. Can't have that now.

Al Doggity, why do you think the media doesn't report the substantially higher number of white people being  killed by police?

[Al Doggity]

You are saying this because you don't like the outcome of the "exploitation" and presumably don't even like the fact that it's discussed. Earl posted a link to a white guy killed by the police as proof of it not fitting the media's ~narrative~, but if you google the guy's name, Tony Timpa, you see on the first page of results that it was covered by national outlets like NYTimes, USA Today, CNN. More importantly, you look into the story, you see all these examples of blatant corruption and incompetence in the case, but Earl seemed to post it as proof that people don't think that exists if the person killed wasn't black, which is not true. There is a multi-years-long  police-state thread on this board that was nearly 200 pages last time I checked. But it seems some people's logic is "racism doesn't exist=therefore, police automatically right." You can easily not even consider race and still see this was a fucked up situation.

Hell, it's considered racist to expect a black person to have a photo ID so I guess anything's possible these days.

No, that georgia bill is about more than getting photo ids. It's about limiting voting hours, limiting voting locations, limiting access to those locations, making it harder to vote in a way that is going to impact minorities and lower-income voters more.

Once again, because it's not something that you've had direct experience with, it couldn't possibly be a real problem and you think it's ridiculous that anyone who has gone through it would consider it a problem. Not too long ago, prob within the last 3 months, I posted about my volunteer work with housing instability programs, and one of the programs I worked on was specifically getting our clients ids. It can be a time consuming and relatively expensive process, especially since the federal guidelines were tightened up following 9/11. And there are a lot of lower income folks who are able to get by without an id, and the longer you go without one, the harder it is to acquire.

so you really think the average american knew who tony timpa was?  if they knew him why weren't there rallies and protests?

Are you really trying to claim the media's narrative ISN'T to show how racist and unfair America is for Blacks?

Why do you think the media doesn't show more white people being killed by the police? Or are you saying it's proportional to what they report on blacks?

[Al Doggity]

I didn't say anything about the average american. The average american doesn't know who most victims of police shootings are.

Case in point, here's a thread started by  WeightPS- very active in this thread- where he asks why a certain shooting didn't get attention:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=671216.msg9544245#msg9544245


And here is the 21-page thread where people debated over that particular shooting for weeks:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=665592.0

You could have protested Timpa's death if you wanted to. Or you could have posted about it here if you wanted to. It was known, it was out there. Your awareness of something doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

I'm definitely saying you are trying to ignore context to prop up your point.

Once again, you ignored my questions. It's ok, you sound like a liberal and you're obviously drawn to make believe.

He's going to get a case/s here but judge already noted he's likely to get it thrown out on appeal. How could he get a fair trial with these outside factors? People know it's bad for the city if he goes free on any of the counts.

Like I said...juror lied about being involved in any political action before trial.
