I don't look like an idiot though.

I mean only like 3 people probably read through your rambling BS where you cry, call people names and talk out of both sides of your mouth.

To be honest I don't read most of your stuff either. It's pretty boring.

Also, 57 seems to be an older version of you. I can see why you two bonded.

I don't know enough to comment how long it should take to press charges against a police officer(s) in cases such as this, where your goal is actually getting a successful prosecution.

And I don't think any of you do either, despite your emotional convictions to the contrary.
And I don't think...(my feelings), (my feelings about your feelings)

Probably a ****ing racist bully cop murdered
Someone innocent and abused his power on a power trip.
And what can we do? Stop hating.

And you guys go at each other like it's world war3.
Stop fighting and make peace. Or one be the bigger man and put the other on mute.

Does anyone know anything about the victim? Was he a criminal that somehow deserved such violence in subduing him?

Obviously not judging by your outrage.
In fact I can't get myself to watch the tape. But guess I can read some articles soon.

Not enough lolz in the world for pointing out how, on a politics forum, if we don't like the disparate treatment between criminal cops and common criminals, we're obligated to run for office rather than complain about the disparity.

And there you have it.

Now all that's left is for the usual suspects to come and tell us race wasn't a factor either.

For someone so triggered by what the media does and people's reactions to it(all stuff entirely out of his control and therefore basically pointless and futile to be so bothered by because there's about zero chance it ever changes) I'm surprised it hasn't occurred to him to---start his own media conglomerate

This was very different. The officers had Floyd under control for a LONG time before he died. They knew Floyd was unarmed. Floyd obviously was in severe distress. And Chauvin had to have known that he was being filmed. It's almost as if Chauvin was trying to destroy his career and get sent to prison.
This is my take as well - I give the cops a lot of leeway for having to make life and death decisions under a lot of pressure and uncertainty - this case is one where none of that applies.

however , the looting of Target will not help their cause.

I have no idea what he is talking about. That “other evidence” isn’t in the video.

No.

The 2A was a reaction to the new constitution, which threatened states' autonomy. The 2A insured that state governments retained a military (the militia) and the federal government did not have a monopoly on force.

Gun control advocates (whom I support) are reading a present day concern into a 200 year old discussion. If you look at the main worry expressed back then, it was over a too-powerful national government. Not a personal right to be armed in a slave patrol.

Certainly the South wanted to keep its slave patrols, but northern states also wanted to keep their militias. A personal right to bear was not even a discussion point, almost no one was worried about it. Firearms were like axes -- of course you could have one. The 2A was about the militia. Just like it says. It would not even apply to slave patrols that were outside a regulated militia structure.

The custom of destroying lives, jobs and property in their own communities out of anger, frustration and ignorance lives on.

IIRC over 30 people died in the riots following the Rodney King incident.

Sure hope these calm down quickly but they look to be spreading.

And then there’s this:

Does the police/government pay for their defense?
They were on duty and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This will be a very expensive defense. Multiple counts with state and federal charges.

I didn't imagine I'd ever see the President suggesting that the national guard start shooting Americans.

Isn't that what that Florida gov said when they had all those civil right's protests?

edit - I guess it was the Police Chief of Miami in 1967.

Quote:
In Miami, Police Chief Walter Headley credited the post-assassination calm in his city to a "get tough" warning he had been issuing in "the Negro district" for months.

"This is war," Headley had declared in late 1967. "We haven't had any serious problems with civil uprisings and looting because I've let the word filter down that when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Welp, that's a wrap. Jan 2021 should be interesting.
