Another bad apple (George Floyd case)

[allvol123]

Doubtful unless IA found him responsible.

Disagree. This guy was getting charged. The fed investigation was underway before all this BS rioting even knew about it.

In an attempt to pacify an uneducated culture things have now been sped up.

we are seeing a godless society unfold rapidly.

Godless.....yep

Where Are The Police?

Arresting reporters.

Going limp is resisting?

Seems to me someone completely limp is the least risk to everyone.

It’s passive resistance. He was resisting being put into the police cruiser. Just like with patients who are being physically restrained in a hospital there is a difference between passive (trying to get away, squirming, putting your hands underneath you, etc) vs active resistance (hitting, kicking, spitting, etc). Both are resistance

My answers are based on the hypothetical no video of incident exists. One would have to look at other officer-assisted death events to see how slowly things move in the absence of video.

There is an American city literally burning and Trump doesn't even acknowledge it. Unreal.

 

[VolStrom]

The talking wasn’t the resisting. The going limp on purpose and pulling away is

You have got to be kidding me? Your profession needs a lot of help.

In b4 "he's living rent free in your head!" "TDS!" "You've got him now!"

Lol. Passive resistance. Double speak like that does nothing to garner support for LEOs.

Arresting reporters.

LOL

He's so incendiary it's probably for the best if he doesn't comment.

He acknowledged it, but what would you like him to say? I doubt the people burning it would listen to him more than the people who burned Ferguson did to Obama.

His best bet is to just call for calm and outside of that keep his mouth(twitter) shut.

I was speaking to the question of if he would be in custody now if there hadn't been rioting.

That's an indictment on him being President IMO.

What is the MN governor doing?

I agree. He should call for calm and stay off Twitter.

Yet, he called for shooting, on Twitter.

 

[rjd970]

What is the MN governor doing?

Seriously? He gave a press conference this morning addressing it all, including apologizing for arresting reporters and taking full responsibility.

 

[McDad]

Add it to the list.

 

[hog88]

Yes, although he later "clarified" that comment. But focusing on China and staying out of a local issue is what is best for everyone.

Yes, seriously. I havent watched anything from him.

His largest city is being overrun by criminals. Is he doing something to address that?

 

[hog88]

I always LOL when elected officials "take full responsibility".

They're not taking any responsibility, they're not getting any money taken out of their pockets, getting fired, getting charged or fixing it. So they are in reality taking zero responsibility, it's a hollow gesture.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Nope.... they are pissed off the charges are not first degree murder

He's being Charged with murder though

 

[rjd970]

He clarified after he had the White House re-Tweet what he originally Tweeted.

Assuming for a second it was taken out of context and he really didn't mean for shooting to start, it's still an incredibly stupid thing to Tweet given how easily it could be misinterpreted.

It's very odd that with a national story like this he couldn't even give a "I support peaceful protests and letting the justice system work" type statement. But nothing was said.
