No there doesn't have "to be some history between that man and these cops".
I have no idea what your answer would be.
I was obviously speculating. I don't know any facts beyond the video and neither do you.
Did he? Sure glad they got that dude off the street. Back to those riots you seem to have been hoping for - any links you can share?
There are people in this world that are sadistic psychopaths. It is not beyond comprehension to think that type of personaility would be attracted to police work where they can be bullies with a badge and escape consequence. I for one would not be surprised to learn that these cops, some of them at least, have terrorized the neighborhood before.
No but I do find the lack of riots interesting. I would think this incident would cause more outrage than the George Floyd case as this one was egregious but for some reason they didn't have the same outrage. Makes me wonder if the real issue isn't police brutality and more about politics.
I suspect it's far deeper, more corrupt and far more sinister than that. For the most part the media in this country has been corrupted and controlled by the powers that be. Those powers tell the media how and what to report, which is obvious to anyone that pays attention.
Lol. But them just being frustrated with their victim breaking the law does.
Might the reaction (largely nonviolent protests) be in part a result of the response of local, state, and federal authorities?
Are there ever any riots when its black on black crime? What do you think would have happened if those cops were white? What would the media be saying right now? Shirley you can see that its DiFfErEnT no?
You'll have to stop talking in circles. I have no idea what you are saying here as it relates to this tragedy. Let me make an effort despite your flailing about....
Are you saying there should be riots? Is it somehow a bad thing that there has largely been a nonviolent response to this tragedy?
My hope is that the local, state, and federal authorities would have acted with clarity and speed to deal with problem as they did in this case.
Don't call me Shirley. Your keyboard is kinda ****ed up.
He’s not saying he thinks there should be riots. He’s saying there almost certainly would be riots if the thug cops that murdered that kid were white. That is not an unreasonable assumption. You’re trying too hard to make him look bad with your own faulty reasoning.
Its ok Dan I enjoy making them dance. After yrs upon yrs of riots by the left we are now supposed to praise them because there wasn't one despite the call by Anqueefa and others to Burn It Down. Strange how they haven't condemned that. I think they are as shocked as anyone that there wasn't. Meh
We all hope for clarity and speed when police act in such a manner. It could be argued that the Minnesota police were dealt with clarity and speed, and yet cities burned all summer. The Minnesota cop that was a killer is in prison, isn’t he? The difference between him and the Memphis murderers is he is white and they are black. Is it fair to make a racial assumption for how the protesters reacted? Further, your contention that these protests have been mostly peaceful because of how law enforcement is treating them is specious. By that logic the burning and looting that took place in your hometown is the police’s fault. Maybe that’s how you see it.
Here ya go, porky.
Well done! You found it... I presumed there was something more than a poster in NYC, but alas that seemed to be it. Glad calmer heads prevailed.Here ya go, porky.
Huge protest erupts in Memphis after Tyre Nichols video release
Antifa has called upon protestors to light up New York City tonight as America braces for violent riots nationwide following the release of the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage.www.dailymail.co.uk
No. Not really. If you want to be honest that is. That won't stop some I guess.
Where is the dishonesty? How soon after the fact did the Minnesota cop get sent to prison? Unless they plead guilty how long do you anticipate it will take before the Memphis cops receive the same fate?
Do you recall the initial statements issued by the PD? Let me refresh your memory: The PD issued a statement saying Floyd died after a “medical incident,” that he physically resisted, and that he was attended to after he appeared to be in medical distress. If not for the video of a bypasser it is pretty likely that his murder would have been just another death in custody. It was only after that video was circulating that the local authorities took positive action.
Maybe, maybe not that is why I find it interesting. If my memory is correct the time lines are similar between this case and George Floyd with the exception being the timeline of the video release. The cops in the George Floyd case were fired along the same time lines as well as the charges against the officers involved. I do see a difference in media coverage but that might be because they had the video of the George Floyd case and didn't on this one. What ever it was I glad people didn't riot.
And that makes things different how? Because the Memphis PD saw how things went in Minnesota so they got out in front of the story? Did the white cop get arrested, tried, found guilty and sent to prison, or not? How much faster should it have taken to satisfy your need for justice? Do you think your timeline will play out for the Memphis murderers?
Nah BSG/NSG (fools nobody here) you and your Bros pretty much self pwn these days.
You continue to ignore the most fundamental difference - the initial response of defending the officers involved in Minneapolis vs. Memphis processing the information and acknowledging the outrageous behavior from the start. Why?
Why not? If Minnesota had not happened do you think Memphis would be as forthcoming as they were? I don’t. But I’ll give that one to you. Memphis got out in front of the story. Let me ask you: which murder in your mind was the most egregious? One cop quietly sitting on the victim’s neck, or five cops beating a man to death? If all else is the same which murder would you guess to be more likely to cause a violent reaction across the country? But all else is not the same, there are two distinct differences. Minnesota PD stonewalled while Memphis PD did not. The Minnesota murderer is white and killed a black man. The Memphis multiple murderers are black and they killed a black man. Be honest with yourself. Which distinct difference do you think played the largest role in causing one murder to engender repeated violent riots across the country while the other resulted in mostly peaceful protests?
