Yes, you've made yourself into a caricature.

And you can't counter a damn thing I say other than with character attacks. You are a fool, bro.

Ok, bro. What are you saying. Chauvin should have been found innocent?
I'm listening.

I'm not going to laugh at your ignorance. I'm just going to assume you're ignorant.

No matter what, he was never going to be found innocent, even if he was.


I never argued he was innocent.

right, black people are in poverty but racism and policing has nothing to do with it.

you are an apologist for murderous thugs. perhaps you are just brainwashed by right wing media and blinded by your hate for anyone "left wing" or "liberal" or "democrat". that would be the most generous interpretation. 73 yr old women with dementia suffering multiple broken bones and bruises. medias fault. choking someone to death for 9 minutes with a knee? yep medias fault. a 13 yr old boy who actually complied? yep, you defend his murderer.

but its proly just that you get the warm and fuzzys for authority.

blaming the people who simply dont want to see people get hurt for little to no reason by state agents is just beyond comprehension tho.

My life would be so much simpler if I had faith and became a drone to ideology.

Come to Papa

The video clearly shows the girl was literally trying to cut/stab another girl (i.e. in the act of attempted murder) in the head area when she was shot...

So you’re just trying to frontrun a shooting that you feel would be justified from a tweet? You mention a video, but don’t even include a link? Just the tweet that supports what you think? What does this add to the conversation?

"Oh, my ...!! says Dick Enberg.

The video doesn't seem to matter...

Haven't watched much of it yet but I ask myself what would have happened in England where the cop wouldn't be armed? Would that girl have been stabbed to death? I guess it's possible but I lean towards that if you put this incident in the UK probably no one is dead.

I want to get back to this weird stare/countenance that this guy shares with Scott Peterson (murderer of pregnant wife Laci in Cali, not the cop wife murderer in Chicago, that was Drew Peterson). It's not just flat effect and dissociation, not just brutal emotional represssion/"I'm a callous cro-magnon," not just holding oneself falsely, not just disingenuous, not just an empty shell of self-alienation. I think it is a combination of all that along with with consciousness of guilt of an unspeakable crime and nature ... all while being in a national media spotlight glare. This takes a relatively simple case of alienation to a different place. What's left is not only nobody home, "checked out of myself," false self and false affect raised to the highest power ... yet totally un-self-aware internally of this in keeping with the psychopathic organization. A mannequin so removed from his own motivation and experience that it's almost like a storm trooper in Star Wars, or an AI programmed is some certain way that has no grasp of how it fits in its environment. I used to study these characters a lot and didn't really know why. Now I do.

You play fast and loose with your victim card

I'll preface this by saying that I've not watched the video. This is not in response to the video and this shooting.

I and I'm sure most people will acknowledge that a cops gun is not just for show. That's because most people don't think like you do. You saying "the video doesn't seem to matter" implies that people are as immalleable as you seem to be and shitting on their intelligence.

I acknowledge that in a country where guns out number people, a country whose gun crime per capita is ONLY in the company of second and third world countries is a necessary evil for those whose duties are "to protect and serve" and that sometimes the use of those guns is necessary to protect themselves / the people they are meant to serve.

That being said, that is not what this thread is about

I'm from Scotland and we have a lot of knife crime, especially in Glasgow, and from that video I don't see how this ends up with a death over here.

I just don't understand how US cops seem to be trained to take out there guns 1st and not use their tasers

Below are 2 videos showing how differently this would be dealt with in the UK. Can anyone in here honestly say that the US way is better?

Reminder of this one, people.

I like HIV’s “If women don’t say no, you can reduce rapes” philosophy. Really gets to the heart of who he is.

ya ihiv can take pot shots and blame the libs for chauvin kneeing Floyd to death but my gawd no one better criticize that snowflake while he defends murdering thugs.

These are a little bit different as they are lone suspects and the Ohio incident involves a (I hesitate to say innocent) bystander.
But up thread I posted a video of a man with a hammer and a kind of pick axe being followed by 10+ cops and they still managed to find a way to shoot him dead.

When you mindlessly react to concepts such as 'lefty', 'Marxist' and non compliance to authority you ARE a drone to ideology.

I don't think you know what a scapegoat is.

You're just a contrarian. At worst you're suffering from a bit of racism that you're unaware of or not willing to deal with. You are hardly the object of the sins of society. You're as much a victim as Chauvin and Floyd imo. Just another bozo on the bus.

But you have an absolute talent for drawing fire. Did you learn that in your military days ? lol

So you don't think justice was served ?
If you were on the jury you would have hung it ?

Would you have found him guilty of anything ? Manslaughter ?

Juries are rarely sequestered. A non sequestered jury isn't a violation of due process.

I posted a tweet (and there were more of those in that tweet thread) of prominent people mischaracterizing, and outright lying about this shooting... and the truth/video does not seem to matter to those folks. The repeated distortions that get perpetuated in the media about these shootings is dangerous, especially when looting and rioting has been a response.
