[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am teaching that if you do drugs, like Mr. Floyd, your reaction maybe significantly impaired and you can die one day of unexpected cause. [/quote]

You mean that you'll die because someone kills you?  If not, then go educate yourself.[/quote]

Yes, and that is too. Someone can rob you, someone can rape you and someone can kill you when you are intoxicated or impaired and cannot adequately respond under the circumstances. When your brain impaired, you are not in position to evaluate the situation properly. When your brain is damaged by using drugs for years, then your chances are even worth. [/quote]

But the police didn’t kill George Floyd because he was impaired. They killed him because he is Black. [/quote]

When police approaches anyone with a violent criminal record and who is impaired, of course they are approach the situation differently than a situation with a grandmother with a speeding ticket on her record. Do you know when you pulled over in the car, why police is not immediately with you? Because they check your record.

Floyd had been previously convicted of theft with a gun, drug offense and assault and robbery. Robbery! It is classified as a violent crime. It is indicative of how the person capable to act. Now CNN citing his family, calling him a "gentle giant".

I am not defending police action here. I think you should know the entire story before you will try to teach your kid a lesson. [/quote]
