Leftists, 2000: John Ashcroft put clothes on a nude statue, barbarism!
Leftists, 2010s: Animated Characters wearing Bikini Chainmail in Comics must be Banned - it's Barbarism.

There are normal places out there where a cop like this one would have been fired after a dozen plus complaints.

The MSM keeps circling back to 16 or 17 previous complaints, but none of the so-called "news" outlets have been able to establish the validity or nature of the complaints. There's just one news report of a Kristofer Bergh, who claimed Chauvin inappropriately pulled a gun on him (and that does seem inappropriate of Bergh's claim is completely true). But that's it.

So, is 17 complaints in 20 years in a big city police force normal? How many people file complaints because they were mad that Chauvin caught them breaking the law? How many suspects, while running from Chauvin with the shoplifted goods still in their hands, complained of injury from being tackled to the ground?

We don't know. Unions are the protectors of these bad actors. They're not going to share the data. I think most good cops would rat out the bad one's, but the bad are protected. It's a flawed system. Not just with cops, but teachers, etc. Public sector unions are awful for the public.

I also get your point about frivolous complaints, but at some point when you rack enough up, there has to be some validity to them. Or there at least has to be some oversight and investigation into whether they're frivolous or not. The police unions will fight to the death to protect their own from ever being examined in that manner. These are policies that the left thought would be good for votes. Keep these people employed and they'll vote for you. They (cops) generally do vote left.

I know the system. I know multiple Chicago cops. I know the mayor and chief of police (who was considered for CPD chief job) in Aurora, IL (2nd largest city in IL) personally. The system is set up to get entrenched votes. If they told the truth the whole thing would backfire. So they deflect to racism. No normal person thinks racism is good. So blacks think the government is out to help them by pointing out the one bad cop is racist. All the while, the system is stabbing blacks in the back with the structure of police departments, which they essentially voted for in large cities. It's a self fulfilling prophecy if that makes sense.

Karen strikes again, bonus points for "white privilege" mention. Maybe it's one of those trans gender Karens.

The ladies should have stated that they invite people of all colors to clean graffiti.

If even 90% of these were actual Trump Voters, I'll eat my hat.

Here's a random one who just looked like a punchable Liberal:



"Male Beauty Blogger" "Bicurious LGBT Friendly". Yeah, okay you voted Trump in 2016. Nice your account is only from Feb 2019.

Tim Aurora says

Russia hacked DNC

The hacking isn't the issue, it's the leaking of the emails that are alleged to have been exfiltrated from their server. And then we have sworn testimony from CloudStrike's CEO: "Crowdstrike says it believes Russians hacked into DNC. But it admits to not having direct evidence that Russians actually exfiltrated the emails from DNC. This would track w/ what Assange has said: Russia may have hacked DNC, but they didn’t provide stolen emails." ( https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2020/05/08/huge-crowdstrike-ceo-has-no-direct-evidence-russia-stoleexfiltrated-dnc-emails/ )

The guy who leaked the emails was murdered and his wallet left on the ground in a robbery not caught on tape in a city full of CCTV.

Good. Biden's victory is assured then.

Would this be the case of a black cop shooing a white guy? The police chief, presumably the person "in charge," is black. Maybe people 1000 miles away from the incident should break into a Target store and steal some TVs as a way of protesting.

BONK!

Police in Vallejo, Calif., fatally shoot man with a hammer kneeling outside a Walgreens
Sean Monterrosa, 22, was outside a Walgreens that police say was being looted when he ran, then stopped in a half-kneeling position, police said.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-vallejo-calif-fatally-shoot-man-hammer-kneeling-outside-walgreens-n1224621

Guardian: "Unarmed". A Hammer is a weapon, and a break in tool. As for half-kneeling, he tripped but was still trying to run.

I'm glad he was shot, shooting looters is normal. Not shooting them is radically transforming America.

jazz_music says

Americans have had enough ...

... and are marching for justice in unprecedented numbers.

Why did he chose to loot a pharmacy instead of joining fellow Americans in their marching for justice? Looks like he didn't care for Mr. Floyd's plight a single bit.

No reason to shoot him. His hands were up - that is, if the story was true.

In any case:


He wasn't black, so the police will walk away scott free, and there will be no riots over it.

Vallejo PD carries bodycams, AFAIK. Also, if the officer was shooting from the cruiser, there must be a video from cruiser's camera too.

I hate all the euphemisms in the stories. “Involved in youth advocacy” = looting stores with his hammer during the protests.

Just tell the fucking truth and let people decide for themselves what to think. The cop shot a guy who was running away from him who he thought might have a gun. Justified shooting or not?

Jazz - why are all these Democrat run cities cesspools of racism, bigotry and police brutality?

Because that's where the drugs are!

Willie Sutton on why he robbed banks: "Because that’s where the money is."

Yeah like anyone that voted for Trump in 2016, suddenly realizes that Biden is their man.

3313 People that's a lot of "And I'm a Republican..." straw men. Probably all Twitter Bots.

jazz_music says

That’s 3213 people saying that they regret voting for trump

Or one not-so-complicated script.

jazz_music says

Or 3213 people that voted for Hillary or didn't vote at all are virtue signaling that the orange man is bad.

The last time we heard Hands Up, Don't Shoot, it was a bald faced lie. I believed it at the time.

Is it becasue they aren't run by their egos and emotions enough ? Or is it that they just don't have what it takes (wink wink) to be a true die hard Trump supporter ?

Losers.

Why do things like character, integrity, emotional balance, self control and intelligence matter in a leader, when he was willing to say that he could bring low paying sewing jobs back to America, and also kick out millions of Mexicans ?!

If just saying that stuff becasue he knew about the mindset of people that wanted to hear it isn't enough to keep you a Trump Cultist, then you didn't deserve to be a card carrying member in first place.

Democrats deserve to lose for an entire generation for the racial divisions they have cynically exploited for political gain.

Biden can put that whole "weapon" issue to rest: "When There's an Unarmed Person Coming at Them with a Knife..." Yup, a person with a hammer is unarmed for sure!

I guess if he were holding an AK-47 he would qualify as being 'barely armed youth of good character'.

I know - there was a body cam. So if the footage never shows up, his hands were up and he posed no threat.

I'm not some lefty lunatic after all - but I can't see how the police officer could be "fearing for his life" when he's in a car - if the guy was reaching for his pocket, that's another matter. If the guy was provably looting, F him - it doesn't justify killing him, I'm just saying I don't care that he's dead.

We find out in 45 days what happened - that's how long they have to come up with a story, and how long they hold on to the video footage.

Don't reflexively take sides. I haven't taken a side here yet, and I won't for at least 45 days.

Shooting looters is moral, legal, and ethical.

Who cares about the infection rate? The fatality rate has plummeted. This virus is about as non existent as you can get and people are over it.

We are still averaging about 1000 deaths a day in the US from this virus, the fatality rate is not as important as the death count and the virus is definitely not "non-existent".

He wasn’t black, 0 riots.

That would be optimal for America's survival but we all know it's bullshit and a political hoax.

Not a hoax.

This last weekend should wipe out the whole Democrat demographic from 16 to 35

Most of the states on the list where the virus is spreading the fastest are Republican & conservative in their politics. I'd be more concerned about those people if I were you.

Who cares where it spreads? Deaths are all that matters. 50% plus of deaths nationwide are from left/democratic leaning states. If not outright blue. I'm not sure your point.

He was just an innocent aspiring construction worker with a hammer.
