I watched the first couple minutes... George Floyd had a gun pointed at him from the get-go for passing a fake $20? And you want to focus on his behavior, not Chauvin's?

The cops are completely out of control in this country.

This was unhinged from the start. And it's all on the officer, which is confirmed by his record:
the records included little detail about the 17 times Chauvin was the subject of internal affairs investigations by the Minneapolis department.

Chauvin, who had worked with the Police Department since October 2001, had been disciplined for only one incident during his tenure. It occurred in August 2007 in Longfellow, a neighborhood just south of downtown Minneapolis. Chauvin was accused of pulling a woman out of her car after stopping her for going 10 mph over the speed limit. The woman filed the complaint the next day.

Investigators found that Chauvin ?did not have to remove complainant from car? and that he ?could?ve conducted interview outside the vehicle.?
​
He pulled a woman out of her car for going 10 over? The fuck?

He also pulled a gun on a 13-year-old kid for shooting someone with a nerf gun.

JFC some of you morons jack off to WAY too many cop shows...

The overwhelming majority of cops do a good job. The biggest problem is the unions make it difficult to get rid of the bad ones.

I don't think that's true. The overwhelming majority of cops cover up for, and protect & enable the bad ones.

Whistle blowers either end up dead, or have their law enforcement careers ruined. Did you ever see Serpico? they made an Oscar-nominated movie about how corrupt our police are, almost 50 years ago.

I do believe there are some cops that cover for their own. But I was talking about how difficult it is to fire them when they are actually found to be "bad cops".

Crap...moms really ARE taking to the streets to protest about football...I doubt they?re going to riot or loot though.

what a dummy.

he's not a mom though. the two parents in the article are both dads.

Like, the meathead kinda dads that yell at their kid's Pee Wee football coach for not giving his kid more carries, and complaining it's bullshit that they let the second string kids play in a blow out.

I like the ones where they're screaming at the top of their lungs for two+ minutes that they can't wear a mask because they have "breathing problems."

People I know who had breathing problems can't scream for two minutes without keeling over and dying.
 
can u post some of those? maybe in the "Coronainsanity" thread.

Sorry honey, but there was 12 seconds between the first command to show hands and the officer drawing his gun. The suspect is reaching for something and acting very suspicious.

So yes, GF's actions and failure to comply are the reason why he had a gun pulled on him.


Than can't comply with instructions of "Keep your hands on the wheel" constantly moving his arm to the right.

You get your news from buzzfeed?
Also the twin cities link doesn't work. Get a 'this site can't be reached error'.


Nevertheless, you have shown your bias. It wasn't Chauvin that pulled the gun on GF.

Unless Chauvin can be both on GF's neck and 5 feet away simultaneously. While also receiving a haircut during the encounter.
:shrug:

BTW mitchamp, this is how long it takes for someone to pull out a gun and shoot someone.


In a country where any man, women, and child has access to a gun, you are upset that cops wanna see people's hands and take a proactive stance when people are reaching and acting suspicious.

at least the second video had a good ending.
 
michchamp said:
I know it's not as authoritative as "youtube videos I searched for" like you posted, but what about their reporting do you dispute?
Click to expand...

Buzzfeed has a well earned reputation as a clickbait video mill on youtube.


Hence the lack of credibility and why I refuse to treat them seriously.



But to note, I didn't dispute anything in the buzzfeed article, and I am interested in the other link you provided but it doesn't open.
 
What was the big stink with Buzzfeed? Trump-Russia?
Oh, they said Trump directed Cohen to lie and then had to backtrack.

sounds like you didn't watch the whole movie or read the whole story. Actually, it sounds like you didn't watch or read any of it. It's a movie and a story about corruption in the NYPD, not "our police" which as you pointed out, happened 50 years ago and much has changed since then.
Michael Armstrong, who was counsel to the Knapp Commission and went on to become chairman of the city's Commission to Combat Police Corruption, observed in 2012 "the attitude throughout the department seems fundamentally hostile to the kind of systemized graft that had been a way of life almost 40 years ago."

Police should stop murdering, or trying to murder, innocent people.

I see this as a big problem.
