Another bad apple (George Floyd case)

[hog88]

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.

I agree that it was an incredibly dumb tweet.

So who called in the national guard, Trump or whoever is Minnesota's governor? I think I read where Trump was going to send in the military if they don't do something to stop the looting.

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.

At least the Governor actually addressed something was happening and releasing a statement on it and answering questions.

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

So with 3 cops holding him down, handcuffed, and the murderer kneeing his throat for 7 minutes is justified in your eyes? He was no threat at all and was not moving. Your argument is pathetic. I for one to support the police and know not all cops are bad, but this guy is a POS and his actions were awful. End of story.

We’re they given an order to move “ before “ the camera started rolling on them telling the police they would move to wherever they wanted them to ? That’s my question. I learned my lesson when I prejudged that kid that supposedly mocking the Indian dude with the drum . I won’t be guilty of that again .

If you listen all the way to end of the video they even actually say on air that their people were told to move and didn’t.

The Governor.

Good thing he only waited until they burned down the city first, otherwise some police may have been hurt.

I think Ricky agrees here. But he can't help to add in a "...but" when agreeing.

Lol, a veiled thread behind the page of a book.

Typical.

This doesnt sound like much.

He's being Charged with murder though

3rd degree/manslaughter

He should, it's his state, his job. POTUS should stay out of local matters until a governor requests help.

 

[Rickyvol77]

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

I thought he tweeted about it

 

[Rickyvol77]

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

Lol it’s not my profession anymore but I understand the law pretty well

This. Why do people want to live in a kingdom.

 

[hUTch2002]

Welp...

Except that the white members of that black reported team were also arrested. Welp.

 

[GVF]

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

As petty as this sounds, people have to understand that this officer is a member of the police union. There is protocol to follow in bringing charges, especially murder, against an officer. No matter what video evidence was out. He was always going to get arrested and charged. And it was always going to be in the manner that is specified in the labor contract.

Blue font? There's been several tweets of his cited on the matter.

SMH.

The very end of the video clearly says they were asked to move and did not. I guess you missed that one. Are there bad cops and idiot cops? Sure. That doesn’t mean the same doesn’t also apply to CNN reporters trying to make news when they didn’t obey law enforcement orders.

 

[volsarelife1]

Trumps fault.

Well if your understanding of the law suggests that this man was resisting arrest either you don't understand it or our laws are totally wrong.
