George Floyd killing and the aftermath

[Blazar]

Just make sure when some right wing asshole does something bad, you make sure to stipulate in your response how there are bad people on both sides.

For equality.

I would absolutely do that, especially if there's a far left nutcase opposite of Tg0 shouting about OMG THEY'RE ALL TERRIBLE PEOPLE. So far, I haven't seen that but I haven't been posting here for years so can't speak to some of the far left folks you all target sometimes

I like people on the left and the right. They're not all terrible people. There are terrible people on both sides. I don't really have patience for extreme fanatics on either side man. Over generalities are bad, mmkay?

And the news bias is pretty well documented by independent sources, but gets muddied by the fact that there are different arms of these orgs. Their news wire service may be neutral while their talk shows and shit skew one or the other. It's not hard to see the bias if you're looking for it. If you've just always consumed it, and it seems like your normal way of life and you don't open up to sources on either side, I could see it being hard to see and/or admit to.

He was passed out drunk long enough in a Wendy's drive through that no one could wake him, and took repeated attempts by the police officer to wake him. Later he attacked a police officer, stole his tazer and then shot him with it.

We should outlaw drive through lines that discriminate against passed out drunk black people. Then no one would have died.

Or just burn those drive thrus down...

Funny how they took him to the ground in chokeholds.

What did he expect would happen to him?

He's no different than the retards who took over that area.. just an agitator to be an agitator.

So this Brooks killing, what were the police supposed to do (i know i am a little late) I mean call me crazy but if someone escapes from me takes my tasers starts to run off points it at me would i just stand there and take it? would i grab a back up taser? I mean this is split second decisions right? Unlike the Floyd killing, I just don't see how this one is a homicide

Technically it's a homicide but in my opinion it's not murder. Like you said what else were the cops supposed to do? No one can seem to answer that one.

The argument becomes whether someone was a large enough threat to the community to warrant being shot by the police. The Supreme Court just refused to hear a case threatening qualified immunity, so I don't see officers losing the ability to protect themselves and others.

Let's see, driving drunk, fought with police and punched them in the face, stole one of their weapons, ran away with said weapon, turned to fire said weapon. Sure sounds dangerous to me.

The Supreme Court just refused to hear a case threatening qualified immunity, so I don't see officers losing the ability to protect themselves and others.

Members of congress are being such hypocrites with this whole qualified immunity shit. Sure they want the police to lose their qualified immunity but of course want to keep their own. What a bunch of fucking hypocritical pieces of shit.

Two worthless Democrat members of Congress recently invoked their qualified immunity in their slanderous actions against the Covington boys.
