Ok ok I just recall you taking the micky of defund the police, perhaps I inferred correctly and you are pro defund the police - which means reform by tackling the police union contracts.

If you need to kneel on someones neck for 9 minutes when he has already been handcuffed behind his back then maybe you don't have what it takes to be a good cop
But hey, you carry on being an apologist for a violent scummy cop who clearly has zero respect for human life
I guess you missed the well shown evidence that DC was actually kneeling on his left shoulder blade and not his neck.
Of course you didn't but it doesn't fit your myopic narrative now does it?
I think some want the police to be Dredd and for America to be Mega City One
Gf wasn't on trial.

He would've been if he was alive, that's the real irony.
Exactly, the thing is the hysterical sainthood bestowed on convicted drug criminal GF and the BLM movement is just as disgusting as Chauvin and GF's murder in my opinion. No one has come out looking good here, this whole sorry excuse to make humankind look like a turd sandwich and it's best everyone moves on now.
Like it or not, in America the police are a somewhat paramilitary outfit, owing to the gun culture out there.
Cops get killed, and anybody could be armed. Cops also have to deal with some fairly scummy individuals.
What some seem to want is a police force that gives no consideration to the safety of their own officers, and would always prefer a cop to be shot/injured than a felon.
The tributes to Floyd as if he were some kind of saint - a loving family man who never hurt a fly - are a false narrative.

Why?? Because of the way she looks?? Or is there something else to her that makes her unsuitable to be a juror??
For passing a counterfeit note ?

So you're ignoring his other crimes including robbery with a deadly weapon? He had a list as long as your arm, but hey let's ignore that as it doesn't suit your narrativeFor passing a counterfeit note ?

Pelosi is such an idiot. Sacrificing? What the hell. The guy will be made a saint before the week is out.
Regardless of what he may have or may not have done. The police aren't there to carry out sentences, in this case a death sentence.
I think everyone can agree that the police should always be trying to bring people in alive. Not the Wild West any more.

what does the safety of an officer have to do with kneeling on someone’s body for 9 mins, well past the time they went lifeless?
it’s like you have some comic book like violent fantasy of how things should be playing out.
policing absolutely can be dangerous. With proper training, proper funding and decent individuals behind the badge, we would find a way to keep communities safe without resorting to these kinds of incidences.
what is there to rebuke me on with this?

And rightly so, but unfortunately chauvin decided to play judge jury and executioner.
Dead people can't defend themselves.
UK cops shoot people too. Sometimes it's what needs to be done. And that's in a country where gun ownership is heavily restricted.
In America, I think you'll have to concede that sometimes bad guys get shot and pretty much deserve it. Sometimes the police resort to violence and it is justified.
The idea that everything can be peaceful and the bad guys will throw up their arms and say, "It's a fair cop, guvnor," is a somewhat naïve fantasy, in the USA at least.

Everyone agrees on that, the reality of what happened is, a man who is a drug user and unhealthy could not handle being restrained, and died.
People then, who's goal it is, for the world to be the wild west, try to figure out how they can use that to cause problems.
Those people are text book domestic terrorist's, but are allowed to operate completely freely within the US.
It is truly amazing to witness.
Meh. The UK racism report was written by a hugely diverse group of people. It just doesn’t happen to fit the current narrative. Are the people that wrote it racists?
Soldato
Agreed it was a very unfortunate incident, but I'm sick of people making out that gf was some sort of saintly guy just walking down the street minding his own business, when the reality is very different. no one wants criminals to die in this way but if he had cooperated in the first place hed still be alive today.
