It doesn't matter who the President is when people want to see change they protest. Aside from that, it's so ridiculous to think that Obama tried to do that. He was simply expressing his point of view. He could not have placated or incited anger, because people have their own opinions about problems that have occurred for generations.
I don't know how many blood chokes you have applied, but I've applied thousands. Usually I'm using by forearm bone to flatten the carotid, but, sometimes in the heat of competition, you don't have it quite right, often because you aren't quite directly on one it, so then you "fish" for it, by continuing to apply pressure while you incrementally move your arms around, or whatever body part you are using to flatten the artery against the neck. In this case, if you watch the video, there is a portion where it looks to be like this low IQ mtherfker is fishing for the artery. You can see him rocking his shin along the side of his nech with his knee moving down toward the pavement and back down. He has a flat shin against a round neck, and it's precisely the movement you would do if you were trying to flatten the artery, not quite getting it, and "fishing" for it. But he does look like a dumb mthfkr, maybe with a convincing stupid defense he gets the manslaughter charge rather than the murder charge. If this mouth-breathing sonofbitch had shot him, you figure you could argue that he was a good as dead already, so, while certainly unfortunate and uncalled for, that he wouldn't be culpable in his death? But maybe good for a negligent discharge of a weapon conviction? I know fake news reporting is untrustworthy, but I saw one report that Floyd and Officer Dumbmtherfkr worked security at the same place, a year ago. If it is found that they knew each other previously, and Officer Dumbfck didn't care for him, I think he may be good for the murder charge. George Floyd and Police Officer Who Held Knee on Neck Worked Security at the Same Club Together. The Minneapolis police officer and the unarmed black man who died in his custody this week both worked as security guards for the same Minneapolis club, according to multiple news reports.1 day ago George Floyd and Derek Chauvin Worked Security at Same ...
Wait, Obama strangled Eric Garner ? Obama had his knee on George Floyds neck ? Obama beat up Rodney King ? Obama shot Ahmaud Arbery ? Obama is all the Karens calling the cops on people barbecuing in the park ? Obama is all the Neighborhood ******s asking for ID when a black person comes into their neighborhood ? Why deflect from facts ?
"A system" my ass. Who's creating the system? The minority police chief or the leftists in charge of Minneapolis' government? Never in history have the police been better trained or killed fewer criminals. There are 10 and a half MILLION arrests in this country every year with about 2,000 people dying in the process every year INCLUDING the one's shooting at the cops during the commission of crimes. Do the friggin math. The behavior of the people rioting is the best example of why they get hurt when they break the law.
Well it sure didn’t take long for the righties to start playing politics with George. I love how in rightwinglandia you have to make a choice to hang with the party at all costs, or believe your lying eyes when you watch those videos. You guys are more worried about where Colin Kaepernick put his knee, then you are about where Derek Chauvin put his.
imo the prosecution will use the best option that is most likely to get a conviction, while considering what the risk is of not getting a conviction using other options. imo good prosecutors pretty much always do that and do not let emotion affect them -- except when communicating to the jury because that's when they can make emotion count.
You nailed it! Paraphrasing what I said in Post #34, responding to another person in this thread: "Maybe "black men" (i.e., George Floyd) shouldn't be trying to pass counterfeit money in stores! THAT was the origin of this entire situation in the first place! " George Floyd was WRONG to have tried to pass counterfeit money -- period! The cop who suppressed Floyd by putting a knee on Floyd's neck was WRONG to have done that. Floyd's life ended tragically. The cop's life -- no matter how his forthcoming trial ends up -- is completely destroyed, his career ruined, his whole existence wrecked for as long as he lives. What a sad, sickening waste of two lives....
More than that. Several of the rioters have lost their lives as well. All the people of all races and backgrounds have had their livelihoods destroyed, their businesses burned to the ground. There are no winners here, but that's all the left is about: destruction.
In NYC, a woman who was NOT from NYC, was arrested after she threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car. It didn't go off, but she's been charged with 4 counts of attempted murder. Her life is done.
