Black man dies after video shows officer kneeling on neck

It's not them making a martyr out of him and imagine that was the last thing on their minds and certainly NOT what we want our police to being thinking when they are making a LAWFUL arrest as they were doing.

 

I could be wrong, but wasn't Eric Garner and George Floyd CHOKED to death.

 

Garner was choked to death, whatelse would you call it? Natural causes.

 

What I can't understand is how white right wing America was outraged when Colin Kaepernick took a knee, but when an officer takes a knee and murders a man you don't hear a peep out of them.

 

Oh sorry. A young unarmed man being shot in the back by cops doesn't count. Only chokings.

 

In the Garner case I recall at least one officer say "that's enough" or "ease up" to the officer doing the headlock. Yes, the body cams will be huge as far as the other officers are concerned. Officer Tau was never going to be authoritative enough to get those other guys off of Floyd.

 

When did I ever make a criminal out to be a hero? When did I ever insulate otherwise? I didn't. I'm being very clear: These officers had an obligation to bring this man into custody, so that he could face the justice system. I am saying that is their job and their duty. I am tired of officers of the law making excuses for their own violations or their half-assed attempts, with some waxed poetic poetry.

There's no martyr here, there's just a victim of a murder scene, where there should have been a lawful arrest carried out. It's brutally simple.

 

Earlier, I mentioned a distaste for politicizing the tragic and brutal death of George Floyd by police brutality.

But since everyone seems to want to go there, instead of just mourning the unjust loss of a fellow human being....

Hovering over the "unarmed" bars shows 12 white, 14 Hispanic, and 17 black unarmed men killed by police 2013-2019.

Also the odds of dying from Covid-19 are higher than being killed by a cop. 6.6 black men out of a million killed by police (armed or not, regardless of circumstances). That's means 999,993.4 out of a million black men don't get killed by police.

Go back and read the question again LoneStar b4 you make a fo..........nevermind.

 

The 19 year old was in a car trying to drive away when he panicked in a drug bust on his girlfriend. But yeah, the cop was wrong then. I remember when it happened. But that same moving car (or even non moving car) excuse has been used on unarmed black men many many times as well.

In that case the officer was properly fired although he was never charged.

 

Yet another violent black baits cops, wins Darwin Award. Yawn.

What's hilarious is how many of you Burb Brats pander to black racists and manage to ignore the cultural inanity that generates these idiotic responses from police. 10 dead, 40 wounded at a picnic? Nothing to see there .... typical weekend in Da Hood ... some thug ******* gets his ass thrown to the ground because officers don't happen to feel like being injured by some feral animal trying out for a big civil suit so he can get some bling like Rodney King did? Faw! Lets whine about it for weeks!

 

"But look at all the black men we didn't kill". That's your take here? LOL.

 

Stastically, if you and I were both to commit a crime, I'm much more likely to be killed by a police officer.

But people don't want to hear that. They want to be victimized.

I can get behind people demanding police reform, but I can't let people distort the truth to push an agenda.

 

That's an automatic ignore from me. JFC.

 

Yeah. The indifference is really hard to explain. I hope the body cams picked up a lot of audio.

 

When are they going to charge this racist POS cop?

 

Read the person text that I responded to maybe then you'd understand the context of my statement......


And just so its crystal clear they shouldn't have killed him period

 

I'm just saying of course people are gonna talk and think positive about the man who died regardless of whatever you believe he may have done in the past because all of that is irrelevant to him being killed needlessly

 

Okay lets break this down;

1. Cannot defend the officer's actions, if he had been kneeling on suspect's head that would be fine but not on his neck, that's excessive force.

2, That said let's see what this guy actually died off and whether there was a link at how he was treated, remember the Eric Garner officers were exonerated when the autopsy revealed their actions didn't cause his death.

3. Not exactly sure why the other officers are being treated as if they have done something wrong, it's pretty obvious they were concentrating on the crowd and weren't aware he was applying continuous pressure. Hopefully they can sue for unfair dismissal and get a big pay out.

4, Anyone who whinges about the fact that this guy died because he was arrested for forgery is unbelievably hypocritical, you can't let people away with crime just because they might resist, no matter how trivial.

5. Any absurd conspiracy theories that there is some great infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacists or that this is some form of 'slave patrol' are just beneath contempt.

 

It's not a conspiracy, we literally got DOJ documentation warning of said infilitration, and it's a problem that has to be dealt with in a civil community such as our United States.

 

2 of the officers were assisting in restraining Floyd. All of them had a clear view of the pressure applied to the neck (maybe excepting the person restraining his feet) and could feel him go limp, and could hear his cries as well as the cries from the witnesses.

All of them had a duty to intervene with another officer who is using excessive force.

They are all guilty and an embarrassment to the uniform.

 

Disgusting. Hopefully the cop is executed in a similar manner. Maybe these liberal mayors, police chiefs, etc in these liberal cities should start doing a better job at controlling their employees. Odd how you rarely see this stuff in republican-run towns

 

trump =the Imperial Wizard of the KKK.

 

As you said disgusting. It isn't just that the suspect died, it's HOW the suspect died that got to me. He's on the ground, he's pleading that he can't breathe, you've got bystanders saying he can't breathe and in a disgusting appalling lack of care for life, you just watch(or don't watch) as the dude's ****ing got his knee in his neck.

It was a brutally cold, executed murder and maybe they didn't "wake up" and plan to kill the dude, but once they got the opportunity we heard what that officer said and saw him smiling "you're enjoying this", yes he was.

 

The only time taking a knee is approved of in America is when a white cop has his knee on a black man's neck.
