Who's manipulating? I am sure there are many paid protesters out there. And some of them are likely paid to start violent crap in hopes others follow.
Ahhh, minority police chief. I see your angle. Blacks commit more crime per capita. Minority police chief. You don't care what the root causes of an issue are.
I see. We've gone full circle. Black communities are down. The black communities once thrived in this country. Albeit, for a short time. But something caused those black communities to deteriorate. Any ideas on that?
The MSM and democrats constantly propagating this idea that whats keeping black people down are white officers. That racism is whats stopping them. Its nonsense. Decades of that pushed by dems and the MSM undoubtedly as socially engineered society. People literally still think Ahmad was "just jogging" and are talking about how hard it is to be black and just go jogging. Or how Floyd was just "just a black man in AMerica trying not to die". Both of these cases are horrible enough without the extra outrage enducing propaganda on top. This type of stuff for decades warps peoples thinking. Call it manipulating...call it social engineering. Whatever you want. But its happening.
If thats the conclusion you drew from what I posted then you didn't read the whole thing. Once again, you seem to not like the ugly truth and instead just revert back to surface level analysis and knee jerk responses. Its because most people are exactly like you doing that, that its so hard to actually address and fix the issues. Personally, I care enough about the issues that I would rather address them directly. Not just give some surface level analysis of the low hanging fruit of "muh racism". That fixes nothing.
It doesn't make a difference. For me, it wouldn't matter if he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. His underlying health conditions are not relevant.
George Floyd died from 'asphyxiation from sustained pressure,' family autopsy finds https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/5307185002
Point being they were walking him, not manhandling him, to the cruiser while he gave grief. Then they tried to place him in the cruiser and he fought them, going crazy, saying he was claustrophobic and couldn't breathe. Then they gave up trying to put him in the cruiser and held him down on the pavement while he calmed down. The Officers knee was not on his throat or carotid artery. It was on the back and side of his neck depending on how Floyd was holding his head, whether face down or to the side. The Officer moved his knee a couple of times and you can see it was not pressed hard but just firm enough to keep him from getting up. The Officers did not punch him, did not kick him, did not shoot or tase him, did not smother or choke him, did not brutalize, beat, or savage him in any way. They merely kept him from gesticulating, moving, or escaping. He died from cardiovascular disease, alcohol and probably drugs. Even the shop keeper who initially called the Police said he was extremely intoxicated. Alcohol btw is the worst thing to consume if you have heart issues. The Police were just doing their jobs and had no way of knowing that Floyd had heart issues. Besides, Floyd caused his own heart issues by the way he lived. He was also passing counterfeit money, drinking and doing drugs. Floyd caused the entire episode. Floyd is dead because of Floyd.
You see nothing other than what you want to see. I could show you the statistics that show black people are represented across ALL industries and are OVER represented in government. I could show you the fact that few people are killed every year by police. I could show you the fact that white officers are LESS likely to kill minorities than minority officers. I could point out how the US is the most accepting and racially diverse and least racist country in the world. I could show you how well even the "poor" in America have it when compared to the middle class in even other first world nations. I could speak truth, facts, and reality to you all day.....and the effort would be entirely wasted.
I bet you can. It's all black and white. Oh, then there's the case of a minority Police Chief. Not just 'The' Police Chief. A Minority Police Chief.
Yeah when there are morons in the world telling us how cops are all white supremacists out to kill black men as part of "systemic" racism, you point out to them how stupid they are to claim "systemic" racism from a department ran by leftists and minorities. Hope that can cut through your ignorance on the subject. I seriously doubt it though.
Well, you can't see inside the car, but evidently there was a considerable struggle going on in there. Floyd surely did not appear to be docile and peaceful, or the cops wouldn't have been having to try so hard to get him contained in the vehicle. QUESTION (to everybody) -- didn't ANY of these Minne-EHH-polis cops wear BODY CAMERAS?! Body camera recordings would tell us all very quickly who was doing what! If I were a cop, and I had to get some "out-of-control" Black counterfeiter who was reportedly acting totally weird into a police car from a store, I'd want to have every second of it recorded!
If only you and others in the left condemned all killings as vigorously as you do those of blacks[/QUOTE] Unbelievable, have a nice day.
Some of us that actually support you on these kind of killings are a little perplexed why you never ever discuss black on black violence that's way more prevalent than police killings. The political nature of the left during these types of things is sickening, I can't believe any Blackman would listen to that pandering. The left running the cities where most of these things occur have set the black Americans back through policy, basically creating a nanny state and not encouraging advancement. I don't get it, I really don't but I fully support the police violence stopping. They wear body cams, get the guys off the damn street that hint racism or even over enforcement of black Americans. The dang chief was a black American, why did he let this go on.
"family autopsy" doesn't sound so good.. I prefer this simple headline... George Floyd death ruled a homicide by medical examiner https://www.yahoo.com/news/george-floyd-death-ruled-homicide-223008407.html
Whatever that means... But it's generally non responsive to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner making an official ruling...
