George Floyd killing and the aftermath

[Tgo01]

Wow. I honestly don't know what to say if you think that's okay. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but damn I sure hope your views don't represent the majority in this country.

The cops didn't run over anyone in the first video, clearly he was just saying that for shock value to get them to move. After the story about the rioters setting fire to a house with children inside then blocking firetrucks so they couldn't put the fire out I don't have much sympathy for people blocking emergency vehicles. That's not just "Oh haha! They are being such quirky rioters!" it's dangerous not only to the people in the vehicles and the idiots in the road but it's also dangerous to the people at the emergency they are responding to.

Why should I listen to some old white lady lecture me about my whiteness?

Third link again no one was run over or shot nor do we have any way of knowing if a cop even said that.

And again gonna need more context on the fourth link. Out of context videos are a favorite among the eternally outraged social justice warriors on social media.

Oh, I found something. So, when this happened, should police have shown up and pulled people out of their cars, run them over, and shot them? Or it's okay because it was people who feel the same way for protesting for THEIR rights?

That's literal fake news. The hospital in question said their ambulances weren't blocked. It was, like I just mentioned, a bunch of morons on social media sharing out of context photos and videos.

No, they said their entrances weren't blocked. Nothing about the city streets, and in a correction, that same spokesmen expressed concern about them getting through traffic. There are literally multiple photos of ambulances stuck in that traffic. You read one thing that supported your view, and let the confirmation bias monster roll around in your head and feel real good and you'll stick to it no matter what, won't you? Fight that monster man, it's not going to help you.

People who purposely block emergency vehicles of any kind are the worst types of people. Protest all you want, that's your right. Don't block traffic for anyone, but especially emergency vehicles.

You don't really need more context. The guy was on a bike, cop obviously told him to do something, so he turned around. Three cops proceeded to beat him with night sticks even though it's apparent he didn't make a threatening move in any way. The proper use of force would have been to detain him. They didn't even attempt it. Beating someone with a baton is not in any way a restraining tactic, it is a subdual tactic. Willful ignorance. "I don't know, and I'm definitely not going to try and find out, so I'll just ignore it. Nothing to see here folks." I can't tell if you're just trolling, or if you really believe what you're saying. I find it hard to believe anyone can really believe these things, but I'm trying to understand it. The people of this world fascinate me.

And it's okay to say those things for shock value? I find it slightly amusing you can assume that context for that video, but you can't assume any context for another video. No matter how you slice it though, it's a threat to use unnecessary and unreasonable force, right? And it is a threat, whether he meant it as shock value or not. No one, and i mean no one, can really know if he meant it or not, except that man driving. So you are definitely making some bold assumptions in the name of confirming your bias. I hate to say it, but your behavior and responses mimic Trump's almost verbatim.

And the lady "lecturing you on your whiteness".... you can learn something from everyone in this world. I've learned quite a bit "listening" to you. Listening in quotes because, you know, I'm really reading. Open your mind up man, you are not as good as you can be.

[Tgo01]

and in a correction, that same spokesmen expressed concern about them getting through traffic.

"Correction." You mean after the outrage mob on Twitter got to him? Right. And he still said he wasn't aware of any ambulances that arrived late because of the protests.

There are literally multiple photos of ambulances stuck in that traffic.

Right, like I said, out of context videos and photos posted by the outrage mob. A picture of an ambulance in traffic? Well surely that proves they were stuck in traffic and arrived late because some random person on Twitter said so.

[Tgo01]

You don't really need more context.

Yeah I do. Did this guy just threaten the officers with a gun? Was he wanted for murder? Was he resisting arrest? Was he threatening drivers and refused to comply with orders?

And the lady "lecturing you on your whiteness".... you can learn something from everyone in this world.

What am I going to learn from that woman screeching at me about my supposed privilege?

[Blazar]

The willful ignorance is so strong, I can't compete. Logic and compassion have no place with some. Have a great life Tgo!

Because I don't agree with your points and because I won't listen to an old white lady lecture me about being white means I have no compassion?

Okay.

[Blazar]

Because I don't agree with your points and because I won't listen to an old white lady lecture me about being white means I have no compassion?

Okay.

Nope, because it's become obvious to me that you only want to cling to what you believe and what supports what you believe, and you are not willing to consider anyone else's point of view as legitimate. You don't have an open mind, so it's like debating with a wall. You find any way to twist things and manipulate things to say what you want them to. I don't have time for people like that, but felt like you at least deserved an explanation since you asked.
