Always great fun to see Ins0 justifying a summary police execution with racist lies.

I'd prefer that a govt employee doesn't have the power to pick and choose which public citizen they'd like to choke to death.

It sounds like he was in general population. If so, interesting decision making ...

I think (but not sure) that he was on a "dropout yard", which is either a unit or a whole prison for snitches, sex offenders, cops, gang dropouts etc. Those are still pretty dangerous - in particular, gang dropouts are still violent inmates, even if they're no longer part of a gang. It could have been over an unpaid debt or general mouthing off or something, no information so far to say that the attack was to do with his crime.

On the flip side, still no explanation as to how/why Whitey Bulger was put into gen pop, where he lasted all of about 8 hours.

You're suggesting that d2 should be murdered?

To be fair, I often wonder how I manage to remain un-murdered.

The autopsy was absolutely unequivocal that the drugs played no role in his death, everyone saw the murder with their own eyes, how racist do you have to be to not concede that in this one particular case a racist-ass cop killed a dude? What values are you defending here?

I'll be generous and assume that wreckem was just taking the opportunity to take a light-hearted pop at me rather than actually defending Chauvin. Let's hope so.

They think black filers are less likely to show business income, which further improves ROI since auditing business income is costly. Black people fail their audits more often, which leads to the system coming after them again in the future and creates a positive feedback loop.

Um...I can't believe I'm saying this considering my previous arguments wrt this issue but...isn't that a form of actual fuhreelz no foolin' systemic racism? I mean I asked lots of times for examples of this and wasn't impressed with any of the examples given. But man. That does actually seem like a bonafide example.

TL;DR for the TL;DR: it's sort of kind of maybe accidentally racist because of how black people run their lives.

...Wat. Are you taking the piss with this?

This country has turned into such a joke. Chauvin’s conviction was completely political.
When a police officer can be sent to prison for doing his job and protecting the community from a violent, drug addicted criminal and then stabbed while in prison, you know the Justice system has officially went off the rails.

The problem here is that the dude was handcuffed and wasn't posing a serious threat to anyone - not even a minor one in the slightest.

But the real issue here is that the US Constitution protects you and I from having the state/or anyone having the legal right to forcefully defy someone's rights based on some bullshit combination of bias or frustration.

Would you want some specific person from the govt to dictate the safety of your life because he deemed you as a violent criminal because you legally owned a hunting rifle?

Maybe because you don't do much crime? It's always worked for me.

An essential component to the success of modern conservatism is that their views are so abominable that people think they're trolling or whatever when they go to the mat to defend a cop murdering a dude in broad daylight.
