George Floyd and racial justice

[SGOS]

Three months ago, I didn't think Biden had a chance of beating Trump, but I'm starting to think that Trump may have fucked himself out of a job in the last several weeks. But I'm horrible at predicting politics.  Well maybe not horrible.  I've been dead on a few times too. It's going to be close, but that's hardly a bold prediction.  It's always close.

Also, a judge apparently suspended habeaus corpus in NYC, allowing police to hold people for longer than 24 hours without charge.  There's a reason that's in the constitution.  It's so we don't have people "disappear" in custody like in authoritarian regimes.

Chicago police previously were doing this.  Mostly to Black suspects ;-(

WTF??  A false flag from the trumpanits?

Are all cops Nazis?  Every string is about Biden's chances?  Why not in the original election string?

A 4 year old article that has become relevant from PBS:

What about communists and drug addicts in law enforcement?  French Connection baby!

PS ...

Can't wait for the psychos to let this perp out of jail because of White Privilege ... the suspect is Black

"David Dorn shooting: Arrest, murder charge announced in killing of retired St. Louis police captain" ...

Marine veteran.  2 time Purple Heart recipient.  Those black marks are from his shoes melting and falling apart.

So I read up about this George Floyd case and I know it was wrong for a cop to kill a man when in custody, but this man was a criminal that stole and had a armed robbery against a African family and even threatened to kill a pregnant African woman. Who also was on illegal drugs at the time when he gave a counterfeit 20 dollar bill. Also  why is this a race thing? Because it was a white cop and a black man? This is police brutality issue not a racist issue.

This is police brutality issue not a racist issue.

It's both.  The two are not mutually exclusive, and it has become part of black life, while it's not something whites worry about on a daily basis. It's definitely racist. Law enforcement has become a legalized KKK, and if you protest, even non-violently as a white guy, you're likely to get knocked on the head with a baton.

I hear he also like gang rape ;-( ... All Dem candidates should make pilgrimage to his grave.  He is the new MLK ;-(

Only hire Buddhist monks as cops.  They carry no weapons and can't hit you ;-)

Actually, it's both race and police brutality.  And his record has nothing to do with being chocked to death by a cop. He could be a career criminal and that would still not excuse what that cop did.

Hate all cops.  Praise all criminals.  You won't have as many people going to your funeral, as George Floyd did, because you aren't as useful to the DNC.

When you don't have cops, or cops won't do their job ...

"The tweet reads: “ANTIFA has threatened the town of Placerville, CA . They said if anyone stands in their way “there will be consequences.“ So Hell’s Angels and the Mongols biker gangs have accepted the challenge!" ... I have only ever seen Hell's Angels in Crap-a-fornia.

Even criminal biker gangs known for dealing in drugs .. are more based than California officials.

Comedians for President?  At least it would be a laugh ;-(

Police trap peaceful protestors while ordering them to disperse

[Hydra009]

"I want to be a cop!"
"You can't kill people just cause you wanna anymore."
*crosses arms* "Well, now I am not doing it."

Also, anyone spot the false dilemma fallacy - the idea that our only options are Judge Dredd-style policing or utter lawlessness?  A lot of other countries seem to strike a better balance of being tough on crime but not brutal towards civilians.  Why not follow their example?  (Is Judge Dredd an accurate comparison?  IIRC, he fought against bad cops in the last film)

And how can anyone possibly claim to support the law while claiming that murderers shouldn't be held accountable for murder?
