I know one who took a policeman to court for this. His dad was a lawyer.
I believe what happened in Minnesota is a crime like any other and should be dealt with by our court system. I believe the book should be thrown at this police office and he should spend time in jail for third degree murder. But I don’t believe there should be rioting every time something like this happens. What’s the point? To be able to get some free things out of a Walmart?
Protesting without an objective is a bit silly and provides coverage for these other parties whether criminals, antifa, or the bugaloo boys. IDFK. I agree.
There is still a lot of racism on how people are treated, but with enough experience in life it somewhat dulls you to it. I'm basically racist. Always have issues with black people and I live in a very white town. Some great black people here and I try to not be, but I don't have enough energy in me to be a 100% idealist in life. I've had/have black friends and you feel for them.
It is hard to say what motivated that officer to put his knee on his neck like that then hands in pocket for maximum weight to basically choke the guy out.
Third degree murder but look how long that shit took. He was basically let off by the police department for this. He'd be fired at worst and could then just go find a job somewhere else. Doesn't matter what you think should be done, that is what would have happened. Thats what you don't seem to get.
They should arrest every other officer for manslaughter for being part of all of this.
So yea, cops will be cops, but cops need to stop protecting their own. That is a diseased brotherhood. One dies they have a 2 mile long procession. When one of them murders someone over BS they all look the other way. Fuck that.
Personally I've taken all my pmags and put in green tipped ammo.
