Looking at the officer’s face who had his knee on Floyd’s neck was the closest thing to seeing Satan kill someone.
Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.

The people looting and rioting (which, again, I condemn) are citizens commiting criminal acts, they have taken no oath to "protect and serve". The police officers commiting brutal acts against citizens have taken that oath; they are meant to be the ones who enforce the laws, not break them. They are meant to be the ones to protect ALL Americans. Hence the increased level of outrage when the very people that are supposed to uphold the law are the ones who commit heinous acts of violence against citizens. I'm still waiting for you to explain to everybody exactly who I am making excuses for, and what those excuses are exactly. Or did you realize that you're talking [BLEEP] and you answered with a good-to-go party line instead of actually reading what I wrote?

Lol it's actually funny how you are continuing to say 'you've been answered' while continuing to, y'know, not answer the two specific questions I asked you.

Is JagJohn committing civil disobedience? The idea that police treat minorities differently is not a fraud. Stop and frisk in NYC only ended about 6 years ago. During the trials that ultimately ended with rulings against the policy, we all learned how unevenly and unfairly it was applied. None of us should doubt that there are similar policies in other places that have yet to get national attention.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

I know, and the casual way he just calmly stayed on Floyd's neck, hands in pocket. All of those cops watching and participating, not caring that they were being recorded.

I do try not to totally hate the two other officers holding George down, they were only a few days in their rookie training, and they were following the senior training officers commands. I would hate to be any of those officers parents, the pain they must feel is only rivaled (and surpassed) by that of the Floyd family.

If all else fails, being contrarian will always get that sweet attention.

I'm sure the rest will be returned to the donors or perhaps the families of other people who were wrongfully murdered. This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund
Who cares.
Let me rephrase. This seems like a useless road to go down. What is the point? |
