George Floyd murder / Derek Chauvin guilty of murder

[Blue Hefner]

Imagine if it was black “militia style” groups going around and doing this in dozen of cities ever night.

From what I understand there is a reason why you will never see this in a colour photograph, apart from the Police would shoot them without a second thought...The state where this picture was taken apparently changed their open carry laws after this protest

 

[SWP's back]

Wasn’t even arrested where the shooting took place despite running over to two dozen cops.



Weird how it’s always “better judged by 12 than carried by 6” when shooting an unarmed black guy but “we appreciate what you’re doing” when facing a group of white proud boys clutching their AR15’s.

Things change. Policies can change. Society can and should adapt for its betterment.

Absolutely agree but my point is, parties will do and say whatever it takes to gain power.

Take guns, neither the republicans nor democrats will ever get rid because its political suicide. Guns everywhere equals a heavily armed law enforcement, the 2 go hand in hand.

Its fucked up.

It’s certainly fucked up mate. That killer from last night is 17 years old and is somehow legally able to own an assault rifle and drove from out of State to Kenosha after joining a Facebook group called Kenosha Guard that asked for armed volunteers.

And we wonder how jihadis are radicalised online? At least we don’t literally allow them to go to ASDA and buy weaponry. I wouldn’t live in the USA if you paid me double what I’m on now. Basket place.

Basket place indeed and apologies to our American members who also feel the exact same.

A suspect reaches into his car, what would you do?

Is the answer...shoot him in the back seven times? I mean is that what you think should be the reaction every time a suspect reaches into his car, his pocket, his holdall? Or if he twitches, moves his hand, belches?

Do we take into account suspect disorientation, like when you just tasered him, or what if he has family in the car, do we still blaze away and hope we don’t hit them?

It‘s like there is no middle ground here, and there must be middle ground because the police aren‘t gunning down people every day are they, so maybe we should be analysing what goes right vs whats goes wrong, the situations, the cops involved, psychological profiles of the cops, recruitment, training etc. The alternative is bitching on a football forum asking what I would do or finding endless justifications for shooting someone in the back. Seven times.

There was a warrant out for his arrest for sexual misconduct with a minor. What role that played in this in interaction, I don't know. But what is undeniable, is that he had absolutely no intentions of complying.

He was tackled, tased, and had guns pulled on him. But non of that stopped him.

I have noticed a lot of people like you are showing severe disinterest in the relevant questions.

But even if you don't know the above. Even if he was a monk, when a guy with guns drawn on him decides, "nah I just need to get to my car and ignore these idiots"*** Again, I ask you the same question you like to avoid like the plaque, what should they have done?

Firstly, I don't avoid 'the plaque', one should brush daily and not avoid such poor health conditions.

Secondly, I thought my "relevant question" was 'how did it get to this point?'.

Did you miss it...?

Your politics, much like ours fucking stinks.

Regardless of what side you pick.

I pick people, not sides, which I why I've been right about Trump from the beginning, and am usually right about who will and will not be effective at political leadership, regardless of the party.
