We may know the facts but the problem is the image of a guy on the ground with a cop kneeling on his neck is what people will remember.

I don’t dislike cops, but I have had a couple of interactions with jerks in a uniform.

At the time I was mystified but didn’t get in any trouble.

What you won’t usually see is State police doing stuff like the Minneapolis guy.

The cops I interacted with in Florida were all very nice. I was speeding taking my 94 year old father to his appointment, was caught but let off with a warning. I thought I would have gotten a ticket without him in the car.

You mean you didn't curse him, argue with him, ignore his commands?

Racists are always talking about race.

"little children will will one day
live in a nation Where they will not be judged by the color
of their skin but by the content of their character."

Stop talking about the color of people and change the conversation to their actions.

Too many jobs, events, courses, mandatory trainings, and easy attempts at moral supremacy depend on it. Bureaucrats will never give it up.

I never got in trouble by cops. I treated them with respect.
It’s easy for us to say. We are white. If you are black there isn’t much you can do. You have a high chance of dying either way through police brutality. To say that all black people murdered by police were disrespectful is part of the problem. That’s why we need more riots. Racists only understand a certain language. It’s a good thing they can easily find out the addresses of those racist cops. I hope they hunt down their families.

What a pile of horseshit.

We are ignoring science and statistics, aren't we?

On the most extreme use of force –officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.

Stats? How many more videos do you need of cops killing unarmed black people?

Sadly, your answer contains emotions and little facts. The article by a respected Harvard scientist, which you dismiss so that it would not endanger your thinking, contains facts and analysis.

How many more videos of police killing unarmed white people do you need to understand that problem with police is not racism, but impunity and being above law?

"George Floyd incident didn't cause the riots"

Explain what actions cops should take when a suspect says “I can’t breath”.

Immediately let him go, put the service weapon on the ground and hand over the cruiser keys to the suspect, duh!

That's called "Anecdotes". They aren't evidence. The plural of anecdote isn't evidence.

Where is your DATA that A) Police are unnecessarily brutal (number of unlawful deaths per arrest) and B) It's concentrated disproportionaly on Blacks after adjusting for their much higher crime rate?

I'd say I'd wait for your answer, but I know it won't be coming.

Or white people choked to death for no reason?

Note that policepersons got off without punishment.

Newbie123 says

For starters, they should follow police protocols. Nowhere does it say three officers should sit on a black man and kneel on his neck.

That's police brutality. No riots broke out, however.

Some cops let me go with warning, n some are ass. Was bringing my kids from tae kwando n by error didn't turn my front light on, he kept me on for 1 hr at 10 pm, kids were going crazy. After giving ticket told me to come to court n he will dismiss it. He could have easily just waned me n let me go.

Screaming "raycist" is counterproductive for several reasons.

1. Statistically, police is not raycist (see article linked above). That definitely does not exclude that SOME policemen are racists.
2. Thinking that RAYCISM is a major problem with police ignores that police is above law. They do not get punished for things rest of us would rot in jail. To fix system, this has to be changed. But it WILL NOT, as police unions have Democratic city councils in their pockets, while R members are "law and order" so for poor people abused by police there is no recourse.
3. In cases such as one in Minneapolis, if police Chauvins would get fried in CHAIR! which is punishment commensurate with their crimes, murders by police would stop. Additionally, indict police chief, District DA, and city major for enabling crime - Chauvin whacked an unarmed Hispanic guy a while ago, and got nothing for that. Will that happen - NO, and I bet that after all dies down, Chauvin will be let go with a slap on the wrist.

Wasn't it just predator v prey? What was striking to me was the resemblance of how smaller predators take down their larger prey by choking them to death. It was a cold animalistic approach with the pride of lions standing around waiting for the prey to die. Shooing off the on lookers like they were jackals. All done in the guise of civilization.

Yeah, the rioters don't resemble this at all.

All I see is assertion and insults.

You forgot the obligatory SJW handicap and exception. Dial down your morals and ethics to baseline or negative first, and if you don't then approve, you are racist.
You wouldn't want to make anybody responsible for anything. Responsibility is for horrible white people.

Yes.

White Suburban Working People are also responsible for illegitimate births. They sneak into Shaniqua's apartment on Tuesday Night and drip Spanish Fly into her Colt45 and turn on "Twerk it Bitchez" by the Hoodlum-in-Harmony Band, then call Jamal the 3 time ex-felon to come over her house.

LOL! This is seriously at the end of the resume: "Before coming to Harvard, Fryer worked at McDonald's (drive-thru, not corporate)."

This is a police officer once again abusing his power. Unfortunately, it is made about race and race relations which are far more difficult to solve - and so essentially nothing changes. It doesn't help that riots only happen when the victim is black - but then again it does bring the abuse of power to light. When a white person is killed in a similar way, the only thing you read in the newspapers is "the family is suing". Haha.

I am just not so sure why police agencies even attempt to defend some of these bad actors time and time again. And, to be sure, if there were no riots I DOUBT that this officer would have been arrested within four days. He would have been put on leave and the wheels of justice would have turned more slowly. In any case, there are still I's to dot and T's to cross - did he truly strangle to death or was there a contributing factor, etc... That should not exonerate the officer but it will differentiate between different levels of murder.

By making this about "race" it just gets people arguing with one another instead of focusing on the problem: police abuse, overzealous policing, militarization of our cities, etc... Instead, one group says the problem is that everyone is a "racist" and that is why this is happening. The other side goes "no - we are not racists" and the argument never ends. It becomes an argument of a different topic.

Clever.

Newbie123 says

Of course it’s about race. The racist cops killed a black man for no reason.

Data shows there's no racial bias, shit like this happens to honkees at the same rate so you're wrong. Let's move on and let the investigation unfold. It's over.

For me that has nothing to do with these racists cops killing innocent black Americans.

Republicans would get a hell of a lot more votes if they would be a little less racist.

Some say that’s also common sense but I realize racist fuckin hillbillies need it to be spelled out.

Oh so we are referring to George Floyd, and not in general. Because you know, you intentionally posted the statement as an in general one.

So as far as that goes, I don’t know anyone that’s defending the cops action. Including other cops. So I don’t understand why you are creating a strawman out of it.

Oh wait, yes I do. Your statements are those that a disingenuous lying fuck would make.

Which is why the Dems are out banging the racist drum. Biden's "if you do not vote for me, you are not Black" was just a clumsy implementation of that policy.

Newbie123 says

I am banging the racist drum and I am republican.
Biden has no chance of winning.

For me this isn’t a Biden versus trump thing. It’s just common sense:

Racist republicans are low IQ and unsuccessful in life. That’s why they blame minorities and support racist cops killing good american citizens for no reason. They still hope slavery comes back one day so they can make money without working for it.

I am happy for the riots until all 4 officers have been arrested.

What’s your address, I’ll send them your way!!!!!
