George Floyd criminal record

I have learned from watching COPS, cops always check criminal record on a suspect

None of which is an excuse for a white police officer to use his knee to slowly kill an unarmed, handcuffed, and detained black male.

All these pathetic posts show is a passive acceptance of police brutality against minorities on your part.

His knee has not been proven as the cause of death. I think that is still being determined. There seem to be conflicting reports at this time. I am sure it was a contributing factor. Either way the police should render aid and are responsible to protect the health and life of a person in their custody. It is clear they all failed on all those accounts. We have yet to get the full report from the initial autopsy.

True, I guess you could say that the cause of death was George Floyd was not healthy enough to survive 8 minutes of abuse from a police officer.

What channel is COPS on in your neck of the world?

It is relevant in how the police respond to an individual.

But short of him being Hannibal Lecter, there is no criminal record that would justify this sort of treatment.

When determining cause of death and the responsibility each person plays in that death all the evidence needs to evaluated. Not just the evidence that supports your agenda. Sorry if you do not want all the evidence presented leading to a fair and impartial trial where justice served.

I never said there was. I just want all the evidence presented and a fair trial where justice is served not bias hate.

It may as well have been rural Alabama because the police department didn't address the complaints...they suppressed them.

If they don't bring who ever murdered the two black men to justice then you might have an argument.

FYI, not bringing cops who murder blacks to justice is the main reason people of all color are protesting. 'No justice, no peace.'

There is statistically no murder of blacks by police at all In this country

The knee is not the cause of his death.

I agree that his record isn't relevant here but neither is either of their skin colors yet you and others obesessively fixate on it as if it were. This obsession has led to millions in property damage, countless assaults on innocent people, and random homicides. People like yourself have no moral high ground to occupy.

Why is the skin colour not important. Please finish the thought. Do you want to tell black people that since police abuse people all the time if it happens to blacks don't worry about it? Is that logical?

Its not important to you because you are not black. Speak for yourself. Its important to blacks or people like me because the process that enables a police officer to calmly for nine minutes ignore a man pleading for his life is a blatant example of desensitization. The desensitization occurred because that officer learned to see humans as less than human. Blacks have a right to know whether that inability to see him as a human was because of his black. For you to see its not relevant is absurd. Oh I get it. I get that reasoning. I have heard it many times. Why do Jews make such a fuss about the holocaust when so many other people died in WW2. Why do Irish get all upset about the potato famine or Ukrainians the holodomor or Armenians their genocide. For many of us with pale skin we see blacks as having the right to be upset. To tell them oh never mind what the cop did feel safe with white cops is a joke. You have an agenda to deny racism knock yourself out.

Ok i will play along with you. If george floyd was killed because of his skin color show me what evidence you have to suggest that.
We have 20s of thousands of people rioting in the streets, assaulting and killing people, and doing millions of dollars in damages. A little proof that its what they say it is seems like a reasonable request

Stop dodging. No one is justifying his death. There was a nearly 100% agreement across the nation that this cop murdered the guy. The murderer is in maximum security awaiting trial. Your ilk however, killed two more innocent black men. Where is your outrage? I thought black lives matter? Apparently they only matter when a white cop kills them. So again, rioters killed two innocent black men. Are you planning protests against leftists killing innocent black men?
Lefties even posted the murder on facebook live. Did this outrage you?
We wouldn't know. The silence from board lefties on these two murders is deafening and quite telling. Lets face it, Black lives only matter to a leftist when they fit their narrative. Obviously.

The only telling thing is your decision to try trivialize what happened to Floyd by switching the topic to another incident which should have its own thread. You chose to raise it here not in another thread because you want to deflect from the Floyd issue. Who are you kidding with the feigned righteous outrage. You exploit two tragedies, first the Floyd one, then the other incident playing them against one another as some sort of pissing match so you can avoid the actual issues in both and assign negative characteristics to "leftists". What now are all rightists supposed to be like you?

Hey guess what, I am not a leftist and I find your deflection and avoiding the topic a cheap smarmy tactic. You want to name call there I did it. Now what?

Can you and I please either discuss the topic or the other topic and if you want to throw inneuendos about look in the mirror.

Read back what you wrote. A white cop kills a black man and you claim to need proof the incident had a racial element.

Right you need proof a white to black application of abuse by its inherent nature was between colours and therefore was interracial so would necessarily raise questions of the role of perception of race in the actions.

Give it a rest. You don't want proof. You want to come on this board and deny that any relationship between races that engages in abuse automatically raises the race issue.

As for your deflection from the issue to discuss rioters why not start a thread?

The fact that rioters are a problem does not make the incident you deny disappear because you only want to discuss the rioters.

Save it. Play that with someone else.

Yah you need proof when a white man abuses a black man its not racism that plays a factor. Right.

Yah you need proof.
