oh many thats amazing. cant even make that up. like, I kinda knew it was coming but I still spit my coffee loling when she said "register to vote and show up at the polls". like, how can she even pretend to act like voting matters. she sold it well tho.

and wtf at the TI and Killer Mike part. who ****ing cares if they own half the city.

Curious, have you ever served on a jury? Been a plaintiff or defendant in a court room? If so you know that a good lawyer can be very persuasive and that jurors aren’t all that truthful when being empaneled.

The toxicology report has yet to come in on Floyd. Floyd was complaining that he couldn’t breathe before he was on the ground. Michael Baden is a pathologist Floyd’s family has hired to do an independent autopsy. I read somewhere that Baden stated that another officer pressing against Floyd’s chest while standing may have caused Floyd’s death. We’ll see what happens in the trial(s).

So if a trained police officer kneels on a detained suspects neck knowing the suspect is having difficulty breathing, that makes him less liable for the suspects death ?

The things I learn itt.

The guys lucky they let him off with just a beating.

I feel for the shop owners but you can't beat a mob. Live to start up another business.

Is it me, are most of these people looting/rioting white people?

If images of police roughing up protesters are allowed then everything else has to be shown really given the narrative of burning down a city is a "heated protest" and attempted flash lynchings are "peaceful protests". chortle

They should do a drug screening at least.

These demonstrations attract a lot of lunatics and criminals who see it as a good opportunity to enrich themselves. Skincolor doesn't matter so much I think there.

Antifa bussed in from other areas.

Aren't you the Dutch trump supporter??

Let's try to strangle you and see if you can say something while I'm sneezing your neck.

You're an idiot

Complete idiot... I got strangeled once by an ex gf with 2 hands and she was strong stronger than most men. Let me tell you, you can talk whille being choked to death.

Plus nobody in the world is trained to control someone who is handcuffed by putting a knee on the neck between suspect and the road. He had 4 cops vs one to control him and already handcuffs on. What is it that you don't get..?

Again it shows how dumb u are. Not wanna insult you but did you go to special school? If so you shouldn't run your your mouth with idiotic statements concerning obvious hate crimes.

Its the cop's best major lifeline is what i was trying to say/suggest, thats all.

I see what you see but idk. I definitely have my doubts about this story. It was fun to see someone mention 'independent autopsy' and then to google 'george floyd baden' and see that 86 year old Michael Baden is in fact the only pathologist who will ever work on any controversial cases. But if this really is a 'young Chauvin' or an image that has been doctored to make him appear younger, then it would fit with the theme that seems to always exist in events of this nature-- where they basically throw out bones for the conspiracy people in order to stoke conspiracy theories, knowing that for the general public they will be easily dismissed.

WTF?? So now your intention is to defend an obvious killer?

Lifeline? It was obvious to me not to post in your thread because it was dumb. You defending trump.

But now you crossed the line my friend!!
Enough is enough! Defending a racist killer wtf is the matter with you?

His wife is from laos by the way. So she is asian. And she filed for divorce now that he is in jail.

I am guessing he would get problems from all latino and black gangs while in jail but I know that cops are being held in special areas.

Why are we not talking about the fact that these guys worked together for the last year... Media is claiming opposing shits but what does that even matter. I work in a department with 75 people and I know everyone's name and face regardless of wether we work the same shift.

There is more to this story... Guys work together, suspicious out of towers inciting violence (umbrella man), pallets or bricks left strategically in the streets. This thing stinks to high heaven and I'm suprised with the amount of intelligence on this forum that these issues aren't being investigated with greater force.

We aren't really allowed to conspiracy theoreize too too much here especially when it comes to questioning events of this nature. You can hint at it a little but don't write multiple paragraphs.

I call bullshit.

I'm a lawyer.

He obviously meant he knows 74.999 people in his department.

On a more boring note, choke-holds and applying pressure to windpipes in general should be removed from law enforcement procedures. It requires a ton of training to use correctly (and repeated training to keep that skill intact) and probably even more training to know when to apply it.

a) Even if you manage to do that, it is time and effort which would be better spent elsewhere.
b) Departments largely don't have the time and effort to do that.

It should be regulated at nation-wide levels, to ensure that local police departments don't keep re-inventing a wheel that is dangerous and complicated.

It's perhaps sad that the following sentence is going to sound idealistic and naive, given the context of this discussion: It is one of law enforcement's duties to keep civilians as safe as possible during an arrest. Relying on choke-holds makes this much harder.

So it's only domestic terrorism when the victims of these scumbag fascists retaliate?

^^^ On that note, the Chapo guys had me laughing about the increases in police budgets - despite historically low crime rates - all going towards plus size tactical gear.

It seems pretty fishy to me. The liquor store they broke into and looted all of the first few people that came out were fit well outfitted and disguised white men, and you've got a ton of video of protestors being like wtf at others.

Seems pretty clear that there are some out there trying to escalate the violence and mayhem, whether they're cia cops antifa or kkk idk.

It's a weird spot because you can make good economic cases for the value of riots and can generally excuse a lot of destructive behavior during it but outside agitators is something to pay attention to.

Beyond naive to think that there aren't any agent provocateurs involved. I was a 16 y/o kid w/o much political understanding in the middle of "the battle in Seattle" and even i could spot these stiffs.

I think it can be reasonably argued that Chauvin didn't intend to kill him and that the pressure on the neck wasn't the cause of death.

Not sure how that really changes anything though, would then make 3 officers responsible for the death plus the officer who just watched and did nothing.

Think you guys were being too hard on smudger, seems less dumb and trolly more nitty and aspy, and while his take may still be wrong he does note that people are justifiably going to go nuts if he's acquitted.
