Did you watch the video of them trying to get Floyd in the car?
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for Freddy Grey. Not one. They guy had a rap sheet 20 pages long. The cops did society a favor.
You did not answer my question. Is it ok for cops to purposely drive erratically until a handcuffed detainee gets thrown around until his neck breaks?
Yeah I watched the video. They had Floyd in the car. Took him out and then murdered him for no reason. The number one rule in cops using deadly force is that if their own life is in danger. Whether it's 4 cops involved with Floyd. 6 cops involved in Freddie Grey. Or 6, 7, 8 who knows how many cops involved in the Nichols case. The bottom line is that neither one of their lives was in danger to murder any of those detainees.
Yes, it's OK for cops to tune up a person with a 20 page rap sheet. Whether that's with a night stick, stun gun or rough ride. The person obviously isn't interested in playing by the rules, why should the cops? Treat the guy like the punk criminal he is.
Didn’t answer about Ashli Babbitt that was in the process of committing a crime when she was shot on Jan 6.
Two things:
I'll say it again, what role does Floyd play in his own demise? He was a 5 time felon. How many chances does a person get? When you decide you don't want to play by societies rules, then you have to accept that bad things are probably going to happen to you.
Offensive to whom? Non-criminals? How offended are you that Freddy Grey had a 20 page rap sheet?
It is completely offensive when officers who have sworn to uphold the law deliberately break it through the commission of violent acts while on duty as law enforcement officers.
I have a few good buddies who are cops. They've told me stories of when they repeatedly have to arrest the same people over and over again. These people just have no intention or simply refuse not to commit crimes. They serve zero purpose in society. I don't care that they are someone's son, brother or father. They should take that into consideration before they become a habitual criminal. Therefore, when that person is eliminated from society, whether by a cop or one of their victims, then I celebrate that.
That’s a really interesting post. A few thoughts.
Finally, please quote any of my many posts on these topics from any time, which gave you the impression that I’m a “lefty lib.”
I also don’t understand why the media shows so much sympathy for criminals. People get all worked up and protest when criminals are hurt or killed. When good people have been injured or killed no one seems to care. It’s certainly not a story or concern for the media.
I'm still waiting on you to concede you were wrong about treason in the other thread, after you revived the thread in a bni-like rush to post without thinking.
That’s because the cops who are suppose to uphold the are the criminals when they kill unarmed folks. Look at those cops in Memphis that killed Nichols. Are you are trying to tell me those are good cops? Chauvin was known in Minneapolis for at least 19 complaints for brutality. Then they make a training officer. Garner in NYC. Does it actually take at least 6 cops to choke a man to death for selling loose cigarettes? Freddy Gray. You condone 6 cops purposely driving a police transport erratic so that a handcuffed man on the back can be thrown around until his neck breaks. Y’all are the ones that feel sympathy for the cops that kill these folks for reason. I’m the aforementioned events, not one of these the cops lives were in danger.
Because people have a higher expectation of standards of behavior for law enforcement, who are and should be role models, than for scumbag criminals. It’s shocking and newsworthy when role models act that way.
My issue isn’t with sentencing, although I’d be highly in favor of a 3 strikes rule that’s puts people away for a mandatory 50 years on the third strike.
Not that any proof is needed, but the DA in Seattle, of all places, is bringing down crime by getting repeat offenders off the streets and behind bars. Amazing to you, no doubt.

What about citizens not being repeated felons? Why can they just be law abiding productive members of society?
Why are you sympathetic to criminals? Cops that commit crimes and kill people. Cops that suppress evidence. Cops that plant evidence. Cops that b eat the crap out people for confessions of crimes that they did not commit? On and on. Most against black people.
Just because you are a repeat felon doesn’t mean that you should get killed by the police when you are unarmed. Police have killed unarmed folks who are not repeat felons.
So now I have two things I’d like you to find!
How sad that the next time you need a cop that it will probably be a black cop. Then who will your racist ass blame?
First of all, I’ve said nothing derogatory against any racial group or ethnicity. Nor did I discriminate against anyone. So, how am I a racist?
If it makes you feel better to call me a lefty lib because I believe in due process, innocent until proven guilty, and that SUSPECTS shouldn’t be beaten, have at it.
I think if you're a repeated felon, you're pretty much taking your life into your own hands in committing felonies anyway.
To extremists like you, anybody who isn’t full blown MAGA is a liberal. I’m a gun owner who believes in the 2nd, a strong military, a balanced budget amendment and eliminating the national debt. If that is a liberal, wtf are you?
