Geroge Floyd - 6' 6" monster got 5 years for armed robbery in 2009

[Walt]

If he were white, we wouldn't even know it happened because the media wouldn't care.

They cared about Daniel Shaver, and he was white.

And he's still not dead yet? LOL, sorry, but that guy deserves what he has coming. Anyone that will fake cancer has absolutely no integrity. Wish I could remember what he called himself. But my guess is that someone called him out there, this was common knowledge back in the day. Lots of those posters went elsewhere, including to debatepolitics.

I mean Truth Detector - he was banned from a site I got sick of and moved away from

Ahhh, gotcha. Frankly they all start to look the same after awhile. Angry, ignorant, and untruthful.

The police are not supposed to be judge, jury, and executioner, whatever the person is accused of. It becomes very easy for the police to kill innocent people accused of murder or whatever else.

If anything, the worse the accusation, the more careful the police should be.

i agree. that's why i said it was outrageous how these MN cops handled him.

[Walt]

But it does; the FALSE narrative suggests that cops just like to step on innocent people's necks who are black. That is a moronic and dangerously stupid narrative.

The question is not whether he was innocent or not. The police do not get to decide that.

The question is whether they needed to kill him to defend themselves or others. They continued to choke him minutes after he was dead. Assuming he was not a zombie, he was definitely no danger to anyone after he was dead.

The surveillance video shows him clearly cooperating with police. He may have been drunk, and slow to understand, but was not physically causing trouble. There was no reason to choke him in the first place.

Was he guilty of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill? Maybe, or maybe not. You would have to prove he knew it was counterfeit. His cooperation at least demonstrates a likelihood that he did not think he had committed a crime.

[Stretch]

If he didn't resist, he would not have ended up on the ground. Like I said, I will wait to see the police cam video.

i'd like to see the full footage as well. still, there was no reason to put all that pressure on his neck of all places. if they could strap his hands, they could have strapped his ankles together as well.

[Walt]

Yes, whatever you do, avoid the facts of this event, avoid the perps past history of crime and ignore the looting, the violence and destruction black lives supporters engage in.

We should definitely ignore the looting. Any looting happened AFTER the murder, so could not be a justification for the murder. But also, should not be used as a justification for convicting him of murder. The looting should play no part in the criminal investigation into the killing.

I see nobody policing the morons on the left day in and day out

[cawacko]

Why would cooperating with police be more likely to indicate someone didn't commit a crime? There's not a lot of positive that comes from resisting arrest. You can get a longer sentence to get potentially getting your *ss beat so even if you did commit a crime there's really no upside to resisting.

That changes nothing about the fact the police killed this man. But that argument makes no sense to me.

[Walt]

Again, you PRESUME the officer wanted to kill him.

It is called reckless disregard. The police officer committed actions he should have known could lead to death that killed him. There is no need to prove the police officer actually wanted anyone dead.

For instance, if the police officer drove around randomly shooting out his car window, he would not want anyone dead, he just would not care if he killed anyone.

If the man had not resisted arrest, would he be in jail right now instead of being dead?

Floyd had not resisted arrest, but more importantly after he was dead he could not have resisted arrest. Police continued to choke him after he was dead.

The media always makes them an angel, and ignores the mile long rap sheets.

Ignorant protesters with signs asking, am I next? Well are you out gang banging and dealing drugs in the streets? If not, you have a very very low chance of dying by cop. Statistically insignificant chance.

You have a much higher chance of being killed by a black gang member.

Because it's full on tribalism on display here. It's "ok" when "my side" does it but not vice versa.

[Irish]

If someone being able to kick your ass is reason to kill them then you have probably murdered a lot of people.

Murder requires intent. There was no intent proven here. This was a bad hold position.

[Irish]

So what you’re saying is ... he served his time just like any other Honkey with Armed Robbery ...

... just that his Dick was Bigger than your Little Tight Pussy

Typical NL.

It's not about being an angel. It's the justice system's job to punish and lock up criminals. The police aren't supposed to kill them in the street and that's what happened here.

You're not wrong about the numbers and where one is more likely to die. The difference though is this is at the hands of the government.
