George Floyd was a criminal. He literally held a gun up to a pregnant woman's stomach. Fuck George floyd.. He shouldn't have died like that but he was a horrible person.




George floyd died from od'ing





Ehhhh..... we don't know that. But we don't know that it was the knee, either. The point is we don't know... but I think it was likely a combination of both.




And the cops hold the responsibility of his well-being while in custody. So next time, let someone die of an OD in custody and don't have your knee into his neck for 10 minutes.




More black men kill police officers than the other way around. Does that bother you at all?




My main concern is how the police treat citizens, there's no reason why they can't follow the law and still do their job at the time. Being a police officer involves some risks, what does that have to do with abusing citizens for no lawful reason?

I think everyone here agrees cops shouldn't abuse citizens for unlawful reasons.  The question is at what point do cops have a right to defend themselves?  Some would argue these cops that Vahn posted earlier waited too long.  :shrug:


--------------------
I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

It's definitely a case by case basis, but what has been 'normal' policing tactics in the past is no longer acceptable by the public in the present.

I would suggest that law enforcement and the defenders of the police are still living in the past and still haven't adjusted to the next level of transparency (video) and public expectations.

There's two ways of going about this issue. Law enforcement can do some major self reflection and realize that change is inevitable, or they can demonize the public as the enemy like they do in most cases. Unfortunately, The Elite aren't very generous when it comes to social and economic inequality in the US and are very hesitant to give up any position of power over the working class. The US isn't in a good place today and we could start looking like a failed state in MANY parts of the nation.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
