Ferguson, MO

[tinselwolverine]

Yeah, what kind of person would watch a video of a cop choke another to death with his knee while the victim begs for mercy and pleads for his life, and expect justice in court? total bunch of assholes.

I mean, what kind of country have we become when a cop can't just slowly murder a man in broad daylight, in front of dozens of witnesses, and get away with it?



Honestly, I'm still surprised the Minneapolis PD didn't close ranks around him; we'll see how the appeal goes.

Oh, I?m pretty sure the Minneapolis PD won?t change their tune for the appeal.

That would be a dick move.

Did you know that pets and little kids have been getting sucked under and trapped by Peleton treadmills?

I?m not bullshitting; it?s been in the news.

And they won't even issue a recall! It's madness!

I know, right?

Well, the DOJ is inserting itself into the mix. I wonder why it won't investigate the FBI with the same "vigah."

Yes, but where is PJW on this pets versus Peletons thing?

IMO what really set this apart was Chauvin's complete lack of caring about Floyd. At no point did he even attempt a wellness check, let alone CPR. Instead he callously disregarded the input from the other cops. That is about as cold-blooded as I have seen a person behave in that situation. Zero remorse afterward as well. It is literally chilling to watch his behavior.

In Chauvin's defense, this isn't the first time he's done this. He might just be numb to the severity of making someone pass out while you're crushing their breathing pathway with your knee.

who knows...maybe he has done this 100's of times and nobody ever passed out or died.

that would have been a great defense. "He did this all of the time and nobody ever passed our or died before"

Well that is very charitable of you.

I don?t think that many people would be so generous and understanding, and give him the benefit of the doubt on this.

That?s the defense I would have gone with.

The outcome couldn?t have been any worse, right? What the hell?

Now that?s interesting

Agreed...but in every report, image, and video the impression I get is he has no feeling about what happened. He seems completely disconnected in the same manner he was while killing Floyd. The guy seems to have a severe emotion impairment, on the level that he should be clinically evaluated.

I do not think someone like that should be a cop in the first place as a psych eval should have been required, with yearly follow ups at a minimum, and he should have either never been accepted onto the force or removed while serving.

I am not a professional by any stretch, but to me this is plain to see and this is one of those Police Reform pieces that I would very strongly support...and I am not one who is a big advocate for shrinks as I find their profession to be questionable in many ways as they have a very poor record of actually healing patients as they instead prefer to keep them as returning clients they can pepper with pills and likely have a % of the profession getting kick backs from Big Pharma for being legalized drug dealers. So for ME to say Chauvin looks completely disconnected to the point he needs an evaluation at a minimum means he must REALLY need a shrink...cuz, DAMN...that dude is devoid of emotion.

Probably had a father beat emotion out of him or he is mentally disabled.

If psych evaluations were required, police departments across the country would struggle to fill their ranks.

there was a stat floating around when the protests broke out after Chauvin murdered Floyd that it's estimated 40% of cops are domestic abusers or something like that.

Not "all" cops, but presumably a lot of them. enough to explain why goons like chauvin go unpunished for so long and look out for eachother

They are required in many states, including Minnesota. The issue is the level or rigor and scrutiny.

So...BLM self preservation rule vis a vis the police of the day: If you are a teenage black girl in the process of trying to kill one or more other teenage black girls with a knife and the police show up, instead of continuing to try to kill those other girls, stop trying to kill those other girls instead.

I don't think BLM is too keen on your advice...

"A black teenage girl named Ma'Khia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight. Demand accountability. Fight for justice. #BlackLivesMatter"
- Valerie Jarrett

"You're next. #Accountability" in a tweet with a photo of the officer involved.
- Lebron James

"Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y'all need help. I mean that sincerely."
- Activist and fimmaker Bree Newsome

"A Black girl is dead because cops brought a gun to a damn knife fight. If you don't know how to de-escalate teen girls who are fighting, you should not be a police officer. I said what I said. #MakhiaBryant"
- Brittney Cooper, Rutgers University Associate Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies

Charles C.W. Cooke sums it up best. People today are just too soft.

At close range, with the exception of shotguns and other high-caliber weapons, knives are far more dangerous and lethal than a handgun.

And knives will always return to the target. No one stabs the assailed only once. And once a knife is withdrawn, there is nothing to staunch the bleeding.

This police officer, based on what I have seen in this video, exhibited extraordinary situational judgement and saved a life.

If you are going to apply deadly force, expect it in return. A harsh lesson, but an important one. The knife is unaware of the age of its user. And I expect this police officer did not have the time or inclination to ask ?how old are you?? to the assailant who was about to stab someone. I bet the assailed is relieved that this police officer applied his training as prescribed.

I?ve been wondering when is somebody going to interview her mom on camera about how she feels regarding what happened?

And also, why she would allow her daughter to wear that hideous fuchsia jumpsuit?

It?s just embarrassing.

It would probably be easier to end this epidemic of cops shooting unarmed black people than it would be to get teenagers to dress the way you want them to (unless you have Bill Clinton or Jeffrey Epstein level grooming skills).

It would probably be easier to end this epidemic of cops shooting unarmed black people than it would be to get teenagers to dress the way you want them to (unless you have Bill Clinton or Jeffrey Epstein level grooming skills).

Proportionally, the ratio of black people being shot to death is 4X the difference in population ratio vis a vis white people. Numerically, 2X more white people are shot to death by police. But I don?t think it?s wholly because police are out to shoot black people, or any one, for that matter. The vast majority of shooting victims are armed and and more than 60% have possession of a firearm.

Washington Post?s database of fatal police shootings showed 14 unarmed Black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019. The database does not include those killed by other means, like George Floyd.

The number of unarmed Black shooting victims is down 63% from 2015, when the database began. There are about 7,300 Black homicide victims a year. The 14 unarmed victims in fatal police shootings would comprise only 0.2% of that total.​
