George Floyd and the Liberal Lynch Mob

The statistics show that more suspects were shot by minority police officers than by white police officers. The initial arresting officer wasn't white at all. He definitely was olive complected. The Asian officer who was standing guard over the three officers holding him down should be a clue that this wasn't race related...it most definitely was class and neighborhood related.
 
here is something very said from the Gov of ILL
Gov. J.B. Pritzker also took Trump to task over his response.

“From the very moment that I announced my decision to run for governor three-plus years ago, I said that this president was a racist, misogynist, a homophobe, a xenophobe," the governor said Friday. "And I was right then and I’m right now."

That Governor was a liar then and he is a liar now.

The guy who was filming was more interested in getting a scoop than actually trying to intervene?

He left out "juvenile delinquent".
 
I know a lot of people have been asking why the officers have not been arrested. I keep replying that a 10 minute video may not necessarily be enough for a conviction. The incident is under investigation by the BCA and FBI and particularly when law enforcement officers are involved it is critically important to cross all t's and dot all i's before filing charges. This isn't a television program. Things happen a little slower in real life.

One of my neighbors is a retired defense attorney. I asked him the question to get his expertise. Here's our conversation.

Hi Neil.
I have a question I think you can answer. With the situation in Mnpls, why didn't those police officers get arrested and either charged or held pending charges based on the video evidence? I would expect that if I was video taped doing something that resulted in the death of another, I would be arrested. Can you explain please?

Here is his reply.

Cops are authorized to use force to make arrests and subdue people, and the authorization is “reasonable force” but includes the use of deadly force. Thus, it is a much more difficult line to define and determine what amount of force was reasonable in any given situation. Many factors go into that determination. Same as for us, the level of threat to our or cop safety, the actions of the suspect, the nature or method of force used, etc.

Kneeling on the neck isn’t an approved use of force by mpls department training and internal rules, but that alone doesn’t make it an unreasonable force, just makes it
more difficult for the cop to argue it was reasonable as a defense if he is on trial.

And thus also, if or when it finally goes to trial, it is a much grayer line to define and prove to a jury (typically) than it would be for us, as our line for use of force is much more restrictive and narrowly set out.

Minn. mayor gives masks to crowding rioters after warning in-person worship would be 'public health disaster'

The comments Minneapolis Jacob Frey made came Monday on "CNN Newsroom" as he discussed Gov. Tim Walz's plan to allow the limited reopening of churches amid the coronavirus pandemic with host John King.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

This is the kind of nonsense that is going on. Doesn't allow masked church attendance but personally endorses the riots and looting by handing out masks to those people...Does the mayor not understand that there isn't going to be a city for him to rule over if this keeps up?

More of the hypocrisy of it all.
 
There would be outrage in Australia if this happened. And violent protests. If our PM responded like Trump, there would be calls for him to resign.

Didn’t Australia lose its gun rights?

Who was responsible for that?

I‘m fed up with the whole fake narrative that black citizens are oppressed.

This link will take you to my opinion of this situation. I wrote it yesterday. In summary my son is an African-American and was in a similar situation as this. He was drinking a beer on his 21st birthday outside his dorm room at UC. Berkeley. He tried to explain to the police that he was old enough to drink when they slammed him to the ground, hand cuffed him, and beat him up. They threw him in the car. He asked why they did not just give him a ticket and they said, "We want to make an example of you." Then they dropped him off at the hospital and did not even call me. His best friend came by and told me. He went to court and was charged with "resisting arrest." I asked what he was being arrested for in the first place and they said that was irrelevant. This is one of many such incidents in my own family.

By the way. I read your post and you got the facts wrong. He had not robbed the store. The store owner said he tried to use a counterfeit bill. The bill was later found to be real. The officer involved has 18 complaints against him. He should have been fired. Instead he settled out of court which is the same as guilty.[/quote]

If there is one thing I have learned in this world is that you have to be black to understand the black experience. As a white person, I was in so much denial about what was going on. I used to tell my son "isn't great that the civil rights movement changed things. Then I saw the racism with my own two eyes. Both my ex-husband and son were beaten up by the police. One Oakland policeman had to rescue my husband from being killed by his partner. Sad but true.

At the same time I was a secretary at the Law School in Berkeley. I wrote reports by my professor for the Oakland Police Department. I was shocked by what I learned. I will spare you the details, but the police actually allowed crack to flourish so people would get hooked. Trust me on this. There is still institutional racism in this country.

The looters are wrong. They are young and violent. They are not Christians and I pray that someday they will be saved.
