Cops are to bring people to justice, not employ it themselves
But it seriously looks like they didn't employ it. Just had the misfortune of being present to his overdose.
Well it would seem the jury saw through that pathetic excuse. I don't understand why you're still spouting it like it proves something.
Tell me, if a cop shoots someone and they are anemic and die from blood loss. Is it the gunshot or the medical history that killed them?
Well it would seem the jury saw through that pathetic excuse.
More like they saw through the facade of the 'peaceful protest' outside and sacrificed Chauvin so their house wouldn't burn down. At least the jurors that weren't BLM activists did that. There was nothing impartial about that mess.
Even though you're not wrong, you're entirely (and I suspect deliberately) missing the point. You don't celebrate a career felon and waste of air as a martyr of anything.
I mean, it's all fine to pull down confederate statues (actual history) but you can't deface Floyd's statue because suddenly it's a crime again? Double standards like that mean, as far as I'm concerned, that the exact opposite direction should be sprinted towards with as much force as possible.
No one asked to make a statue of Floyd, they asked for accountability for murder and police reform. They got a statue and a holiday instead.
As far as the confederate statues, fuck em. It makes no sense to celebrate those traitors and the majority of them weren't even constructed until 50+ years after the Civil War. During the whole daughter's of confederate Era.
Just a quick dorky comment

Juneteenth predates Floyd, and truthfully I think it's a great and truly American thing to remember that Americans fought each other and died to live up to the constructional ideology that all men are born free. I feel like 10 years from now people will be like "George who?" but take away that America is the only country that fought a civil war over the subjugation of another people and that is something we can be proud of.

And neither should have happened, :honk: :honk:

Except that the people who promised to put them in cemeteries and museums tear them down when they're in cemeteries, at least. The agreed compromise was that that's where they would go. You don't pull a compromise from someone and then lie to them. That's how you get an actual war. As such, I don't care. There is nothing anyone who is against Confederate monuments could say because of that that I would actually want to listen to. There is no compromise or mid-way point for anyone who lies after getting that compromise. None. This is what is deserved.

Dude, you really really wanna go there? Or have you not been paying attention to lesser taught history that's been thrown around the last few years on other media platforms? Because if that's how low you want the bar, I can qualify that real quick and talk about how there's at least 72,000 memories and statues that should be destroyed all while pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to destroy "white man" Confederate statues while completely ignoring the Confederate monuments that immortalize black Confederate soldiers.
And let's not even get into Native American genocide. If you wanna get into that, then you and your white cracker friends better get off my land.
Everyone has something to hate if you want to bring race into it.
Doesn't fucking matter. Cops are to bring people to justice, not employ it themselves. They're not executioners. We all saw the merciless act performed and throwing dirt on his name does nothing to diminish what happened.
