Same.

Just look at this thread. We have this video of a man being slowly murdered by a cop, clear as day, and yet there are still posters willing to make excuses.

We have video of the jogger being ambushed and murdered by a group of vigilantes, and posters wanted to talk about his outfit and "wait for the facts."

We have a video of a white woman breaking the law and threatening the black man who had the audacity to confront her with a cop-altercation. We hear her pretend to be breathless and hysterical as she cries for law enforcement to rescue her from the scary black man who offered her dog a treat. And yet posters want to know what happened before, question his motives, and stomp their feet about being called Karen.

My life doesn't matter to you. I get it. I'm so damn tired of this.

Co-signing all of this. It’s exhausting.

Both of you are exhausting. Maybe you will have a different (and healthier) perspective if you stop living your life via social media.

There are almost a million cops in the US and you are basing your opinion of them on a half dozen videos that you saw on social media. Life and law enforcement incidents are rarely black and white. The people posting here have an agenda and zero actual LE experience. And if you disagree with them, they just call you names and continue their rant.

Go to Youtube and search racist police stops. Even if you choose not to watch, the sheer number of recorded racist LEO stops and interactions, shows the fallacy of your beliefs. You of course, will not do the search.

I do traffic stops pretty much every day. You, on the other hand, get your information by searching "police brutality" on YouTube. That's a big difference.

Not that pp and I can tell you that I do not have an agenda. That video was shocking to me. Is put your knee on a suspect's neck a legitimate police hold? I know that we don't know what led that officer to restrain him like that. Maybe he had been resisting them, I have no clue. But to actually kneel and put weight on his neck like that? I have a hard time believing that is the sort of thing taught in training.

I'm in a profession that is adjacent to LE and I spend a lot of time with cops. Some of that has been off the clock, drinking, getting real. They absolutely have a view of the world that some people are good and others are "garbage" (actual word they use). I told one of them that I sympathize with BLM and friends with some members, and he said that BLM is an anti-cop organization. I didn't understand that POV but he said rhat BLM encourages a cop vs black people mentality. One thing I do empathize with is that we have systemic racism in America so we can't expect cops to somehow be enlightened. When they feel in danger, their brain goes to primal instincts and that includes tribalism. I thought that was the most self aware thing he said. It's also very difficult to fix. It's one thing to identify the problem but how do we fix it? Whatever the fix is, it goes way beyond just cops.

Doctors are subject to the same ingrained racism. Studies show it's rampant. The impact is much broader than acute instances that result in someone's death. But at least no one suggests that a doctor should be immune from a malpractice suit if a patient dies due to a mistake based on a doctor's internal biases.

How about let's start by holding police officers accountable when they kill people as the result of unnecessary brutality and/or ignorance?

Hell no! I've seen people put their shin on the side of someone's face to help control them, but never on their neck. You have to understand that you are dealing with people fighting you and you have to win.

But a lot of this stuff comes down to common sense. For example, even though it's against most dept policy to use a choke hold in non lethal force situations, you could put someone in a choke hold with very little pressure and not do any damage. This guy obviously doesn't know what he is doing. Even if he used a dumb tactic like putting pressure on someone's neck, it's hard to fathom why he didnt change position when he became unresponsive.

DP. It's not hard to fathom. The cop was trying to kill him. That is why.

Not sure how accurate this tweet is but, if it’s true, I can’t say I’m surprised that the cop who used his knee is a Trump supporter.

So did Mr Floyd try to commit forgery or not? Abs was he under the influence or not? Because that’s what the initial report said why the cops were called. Or was it another fake call?

[Anonymous]

Google “Derek Chauvin,” the name of the white cop who used his knee to kill George Floyd. Apparently he’s quite the cracker and MAGA to boot.

Armed white militas can storm the capitol in Michigan and shut down the legislator. Nothing.

Camo wearing thugs hang the Kentucky governor in efigy. Nothing.

The virus cannot stop hate nor stupidity nor rage. You know who has the upper hand, this is not a democracy and life is not close to being equal for all. I am from Texas and my dirty little secret is this goes on and we still have burning's, hanging's and places where other colors are not allowed. This killing is nothing to what I grew up with while living in a home of Klansmen and Confederate reenactor's. The move to going to University of Maryland saved me from a life of this. I can no longer talk to my family as I married a man from Korea.
