Floyd was killed by a racist pos who decided he needed to kneel on his neck for 8 minutes, or whatever it was, after he was already in cuffs. I can understand why people are protesting his death, certainly not to the extent it was taken though because it makes absolutely no sense to burn down a Walgreens.
Blake was shot because he was a pos himself and has a problem with authority. White, black, brown, yellow, orange, purple, if you think you can have the cops called on you because you are a domestic scum, resist arrest and wrestle the cops, manage to break free and ignore a taser, then open your car door with guns drawn on you and a cop pulling you back, then you deserve every bullet coming your way. Not every cop wakes up in the morning and sets out to kill a black person that day. Too many cops have died because they didn't pull the trigger under those circumstances.
Now this cop is most certainly going to get death threats, lose his job, have to move his family, and all for a 100% justifiable shoot.
The numbers show that black people are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, but the numbers also show that black people commit a disproportionate level of felony crimes/homicides.
That's about all I'll say on the matter because there's an entire forum to talk about this if you dare enter the cesspool. [Reply]

You missed the point entirely, but you are right this isn't the forum.

Where was this? I missed that happening.
Will someone give me a link? Please. [Reply]

What exactly are you trying to prove with those videos?
I've seen it. I know what happened in the George Floyd case. I have no problem with everything until the one officer decided that while he was cuffed and subdued that he needed to have his knee on his neck for 8 minutes. There is no way that is taught in law enforcement. There is no way that is a reasonable act.
Even the dudes in the video said, "he's probably alive without the knee." [Reply]

The real point is that there would not have been a knee if he was not out of his mind on drugs, committing crimes and being compliant. They also mentioned that it was not racist in their opinion. [Reply]

They don’t get the pitch they are expecting, they look like little leaguers striking out or weak grounders. So it’s either a shit for brains strategy or they are ignoring his advice. Niether path ain’t a good thing.
It looks like Carlson is starting to get use to a MLB breaking ball. Now, he needs to master a MLB change up. Still looking foolish but this is a great year for some OJT at this level. [Reply]
Classic Cardinals baserunning. DeJong on 2nd with no one out. Goldy hits a bomb to the warning track dead center and DeJong shits the bed and doesn’t even tag. Intentional walk followed by double play. This offense is incredibly frustrating. [Reply]

No fucking excuse for that shit. Too bad that motherfucker recovered from COVID. [Reply]
