FBI investigates death of a black man in Minneapolis after video shows police officer kneeling on his neck

[Fort Fun Indiana]

After he got out, he physically resisted officers,” police spokesman John Elder told reporters early Tuesday. “Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs

And the newest video shows him after allegedly resisting, and in handcuffs. Sitting in a chair. They get him up and walk him to the car. Then kill him.

So what happened between cuffing him and sitting him in a chair (all after the resisting, per the spokesman) and murdering him?

I don't know and neither do you. But to claim he didn't resist and was just thrown to the ground is a flat out lie.

That doesn't mean I don't think he shouldn't have been fired before you jump to another wrong conclusion.

I don't know and neither do you. But to claim he didn't resist and was just thrown to the ground is a flat out lie.

But to claim his resisting led to him being thrown on the ground would also seem to be a flat out lie. Right? That's not what the spokesman said.

Right?

Right?

You've already admitted we haven't seen the entire footage so you're guessing. The point I made is that he resisted arrest, period. You are throwing theory into another argument I never made. Try to stick to the subject.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You've already admitted we haven't seen the entire footage so you're guessing.

No i didn't guess at anything. I said one would be guessing to say that resistance led to his being on the ground and murdered. Given that, we have video of him sitting in a char after resisting and being cuffed. Per the spokesman. To claim it as a fact is a lie.

Right? Come on, you can do this.

Yes little buddy you did.

How many times do I have to repeat myself for you? The only point I made was to address the lie that he didn't reist. Period. You can make your own argument with others about whether it led to the choking on your own. Its never an argument I made so stop pretending I made it when it never happened.

This purported FBI involvement is a stunt by Trump to get some free publicity.

Christopher Wray and Fat Billy Barr will do nothing. There is no evidence that they have any jurisdiction.

Christopher Wray and Fat Billy Barr are more likely to take action to protect the cops who committed the murder.

Yes i know.

You made your point. Then i made mine. That is how this works.

So do you or do you not also agree that the resisting being alleged doesn't seem to have anything to do with the later events, as stated by the spokeseman?

Yes or no will be enough for me.

LOL So no evidence. What a shocker

LOL not when I never made the counter claim Genius. Does this really need to be spelled out to you?

I haven't reviewed all the evidence to know for sure. You are simply going to have to live with being disappointed.

not when I never made the counter claim Genius

I know you didnt. That's why my sentences have those little curly things at the end. Those sentences are called "questions". If you had made the claim, i wouldnt be asking.

But man, you are sure having a hard time typing "yes" or "no".

So let me get this straight. You enter a conversation already on a topic, introduce another topic no one brought up and now are throwing a fit because I won't research it for you to get the answer you want.

It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

 

[Levant]

I'm not a "conservative", asshole. I'm a right-winger. Fuck the bloody skull of Mr. I Can't Breathe, fuck Minneapolis, and fuck Minnesota.

People die every day. 50 million murdered babies since Roe vs. Wade and nobody gives a crap about them. Why should I give a crap about Mr. I Can't Breathe?

Not my problem.

Define right-wing. It's meaningless.

And you don't give a shit about 50 million murdered babies.. You don't give a shit about the rights of others at all. You're not a right-winger or a conservative; you're a hypocrite.

If you cared about the rights of one, you'd have to care about the rights of both. If you cared about the rights of both, you'd have to care about the rights of all - because if government is allowed to ignore or violate the rights of one then they're going to violate the rights of anyone they choose. By allowing them to violate the rights of Mr. Floyd, you give them the permission to violate the rights of the 50 million. So, the only thing you're right about is that you're not a conservative.

You're just a lying hypocrite.

 

[Levant]

"50 million babies are murdered...so who cares about this guy..."

^^

Teabagger moron's version of "pro life".

I highlighted the critical part of what you said. He's an embarrassment to actual right-wing or conservatives.

 

[Levant]

You said that, I didn't. Of course, I'd be willing to bet that his race is the only reason you really give a shit. That, and the fact that you probably hate white cops, like all good little liberal clowns do.

If Mr. I Can't Breathe had been white, we wouldn't hear a peep out of you.

Amirite?

Black cops have killed, too. Killed black people. Killed white people. Remember the woman in her PJs who approached the cop car. Wasn't that in Minneapolis, too? I don't remember and am not going to look it up right now.

But one thing that actual liberals and actual conservatives, and Democrats and Republicans and Libertarians and really anyone except Authoritarians, Communists, and Socialists, should agree on is that cops shouldn't get away with killing except in actual defense of their own lives or the lives of people immediately threatened.

Being pro-law-and-order is not at all being conservative or supporting the Constitution. Only the Communist and totalitarian governments of the world support the right of government to kill at will - you know, like the KGB, or the STASI, or the People's Police Force in Myanmar. You're in the class of these evil and have no relationship to the libertarian freedom fighters who founded our nation or created our form of government.

 

[Aletheia4u]

Remind you of anything?

That was a different situation. That officer was really trying to restrain him. The guy had a big neck. And it look like he had a muscular solid thick neck like a bull's neck. That it probably made the officer nervous that it had his adrenaline pumping while he was bringing him down.
But this officer that was putting his knee in the murdered guy's neck,. From what I see, it look like as if he was purposely trying to get the crowd to do something irrational so that they can start a riot. But things didn't went as planned. The crowd that was being provoked by that officer didn't reacted the way they wanted them to react..
But Pres.Trump needs to make sure that this officer stays locked up behind bars for life.
There are prison gangs that are being paid to kill someone. When one of the members of this gang get released. That they have them to kill someone on the outside for one of their clients. After they finishes the job. The clients pays the leader and the leader uses that money to take care of their gang members and their families that are on the outside.
These people don't care about losing their freedom.
And there are some officers from these gangs that sworn their loyalty to the gang. And majority of politicians are these prison gangs' clienteles.

Too bad for the black fella. MAYBE he should've NOT broken any laws and listened to the police officer? Or kept his carcass out of trouble?

The police officer clearly murdered a helpless perp.

Police should use deadly force when necessary.

But it wasn't necessary in this case.

But what I'M saying is MAYBE he shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. THIS is easily avoidable if one is a good, peaceful, intelligent, caring upstanding individual. Just DON'T DO crazy stuff, and THIS will not happen to you. Thank you.

Ok. Help me out here. Maybe I just do not understand. You have made the arrest. The baddie is in cuffs. You have four police officers there. Why kneel on his neck? I mean why not load him in the police car to take him to jail? There are four cops there and he is in cuffs. Surely the same cops who got him in cuffs could chuck him in the backseat of a car right?

4 Minneapolis cops fired after video shows one kneeling on neck of black man who later died | CNN

The FBI is investigating the incident, which drew widespread condemnation of the officers after a video showing part of the encounter circulated on social media.

www.cnn.com

looked all over- huge huge story- where is it?

Too bad for the black fella. MAYBE he should've NOT broken any laws and listened to the police officer? Or kept his carcass out of trouble?

When a guy is handcuffed on the ground and four other cops are just standing there, you have to ask, what were they waiting for? before they said ok lets put him in the car?
I say its outrageous wha these cops did. We just saw a guy get his life snuffed out of him while he was absolutely defenseless. The cops work for us. Killings like this hurt us all and those cops need to be punished. I really dont see what defense for their actions they have.
Put yourself in that situation. Can you see yourself putting your knee on someones throat for 5 minutes while they slowly die? I sure as hell cant. Tell me how you could go home that night and rationalize your actions to your kids?

Jesus Karen get your facts straight and stop leading with emotion.


Officers found Floyd in a car at the scene. He appeared intoxicated, police say. Officers ordered him to get out of the car.

“After he got out, he physically resisted officers,” police spokesman John Elder told reporters early Tuesday. “Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and officers noticed that the man was going into medical distress.”

'I Can't Breathe!': Video Of Fatal Arrest Shows Minneapolis Officer Kneeling On George Floyd's Neck For Several Minutes

An FBI investigation is underway and four officers have been fired following a fatal encounter Monday between Minneapolis police and an unarmed black man.

minnesota.cbslocal.com

The authoritarian crowd, once again, forgets that we have the video - this time the video not included in the first video. We have the video from the instant the cops engaged Floyd. There was no struggle at the door. It did take a bit of time and there could have been some confusion or even very minor resistance but the cops never took any steps indicative of trying to subdue a resistant suspect. The second cop came over calmly and assisted and walked away calmly. No one was under duress. When they walked Floyd to the wall there was no duress on Floyd's or the cop's part.

BUT.. Even if there'd been a fucking FIST FIGHT at the car door, that does NOT give the cop the right to sit on his fucking neck for 8 minutes.

Yet another fake conservative...

Sending any criminal to prison to be killed by inmates or by released inmates is as bad as what the cop did. We're a nation of laws. They could give this cop the gas chamber and I wouldn't care but the punishment has to come from the courts. It's the duty of the government to ensure the safety of inmates. The cop has rights, too. If we can call for the cop's extrajudicial killing then that means others, like the cops, can call for the extrajudicial killing of who they don't like as well.
