Have to remeber that the high profile cases are just the tiniest tip of the iceberg that is the disgusting usa 'justice' system.

Nah, we're on Par with Iran. We're fine.

And as always a sh*tbag...



He conveniently misses that the KKK had a habit of marching in enmasse into CourtRooms or Police Stations heavily armed and outnumbering the officials (who often gave wink and nod permission) and dragging out the accused and hanging them while sharing bbq.

His strawmanning/misrepresenting what Water's said is disgraceful.

This. mostly I’m glad cuepee incidentally noticed this one case in his search for gifs. But I recall him arguing that I was dumb for wanting less criminal punishments against minor theft.

There were protests over the shooting of Hakeem Littleton who was shot while attempting to murder a cop and Kopernick knelt over the Mario Brooks shooting. What makes you think there won't be protests over this shooting?

You also by your own rationale justify the Rayshard Brooks shooting as he was armed also.

Nah, our cops will shoot you too.

I know you're trying to be cute here, but the problem is that too many people actually think that's what the risks are with gun violence in the US. Just like people think Chauvin is a common example of police officers in the US. Just like some Twitter dolt posted about how 1 in 3 people who are killed by a stranger are killed by a cop, as if that's some sort of huge statement on police violence.

A vast majority of gun violence is perpetrated using pistols. Chauvin is quite clearly a huge outlier, given the fact that US police manage to arrest and detain millions of people each year and only a couple dozen end up dead. Nearly all deaths by the hand of another person are committed by people known to the victim, so it's not a stretch to say that a significant chunk of those stranger deaths would be at the hands of law enforcement.

Of course, it's not as much fun to go on the internet and say, "Well ****, you don't see that every day" and the other guy says, "Sure don't" and then we all go back to whatever we were doing before.

‘Save someone from a knife thrust’ was such a compelling piece of information that the White House omitted it. They must have been going for funny.

Lol Inso0, I was responding to your "swap a cop from Helsinki with Chicago" or whatever city you put thing, I wasn't even talking about Chauvin. Keep up, slow-poke.

I am guessing the point you were trying to make with that asinine suggestion is that the mean streets of America would just be too much to handle using the "softly softly" Finnish methods. So my question to you is, assuming that is true, why do you think that is? Are Americans just more prone to violence? Maybe a certain subset of Americans? Let it out, Inso0.

Cuz America is full of Gunz gunz gunz

Literally what I said about a dozen posts ago.

I know, my post was just an excuse to post a tribute to a film I like, which I make no apologies for

I do wonder why he chose Helsinki. I wonder what it is about Scandinavian countries specifically that drew that comparison. I guess we'll never know.

I gotta say though, while I'm absolutely in favour of gun control I don't think it's a fix it all solution. Ireland has strict gun control for example but we were the gun murder capital of Europe in 2009, specifically my home city of Dublin.

And as of 2019 our gun murder rate was apparently six times that of the UK.

So while again I'm very much in favour of gun control I don't think it's a magic wand solution and for America specifically may well be too late at this stage anyway

Remind us again what 'minor crimes' you were referring to?

As I'm certainly not against decriminalizing all minor crimes'.

I seem to recall us jostling over your view of Trump's minor crimes'and whether he should go to jail for them and you thinking he was just a celebrity, kind of like the Kardashians, and you liked him for that reason.

Lefties simply can't be f****** honest. They have to distort, omit, and sometimes outright lie about the stuff they are being righteously indignant about.

Quite possibly, but to just gloss over it and pretend that it's not the primary reason why confrontations between police and civilians in America are more prone to end in violence than elsewhere (as some here like to do) is just disingenuous.

There is no right and left ffs everyone sucks

There already are protests over this shooting.

But since they released the body cam and you can see the girl was shot while literally in the act of lunging to stab someone it's stupid to compare it to the Floyd murder.

But don't let that stop you. Please proceed.

We're no Venezuela or South Africa, but we certainly have a lot of people who can't seem to behave themselves.

I don't think having a specific Armed Support Unit would work out well in many US cities, but maybe that's a nice stepping stone to a country without police shootings. I do wonder how many cops will volunteer to head out there unarmed, though. There's already a recruitment problem.


Because it was the first Nordic city that popped in my head. People here LOVE comparing the US with that group of countries.

You supported a guy who drew a hurricane on a map with a sharpie.

Are you being deliberately obtuse now?

My opinion of course... but cmon, the current WH is pretty much central centralists.

It's surprising to me they convicted the cop of 2nd degree murder in the GF case. Obviously not premeditated, but was he really intending to kill GF? He was using an accepted restraint method which points toward him doing his job as opposed to trying to kill someone. Plus, you would have to be incredibly dumb to kill someone in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses with cameras. Was he willing to sacrifice his career and life to kill GF?

I think we got to the bottom of this mystery, detective.
