It’s time for the American people to hold police accountable for their actions. All four cops need to be charged with murder. This cop had his knee on a mans neck and choked him to death for no reason. The cop had his hands in his pockets the whole time. George Floyd repeatedly said that he couldn’t breathe, at one point even calling out to his mother for help. The only way this will stop is if we all stand together and demand more from our law enforcement officers. Too many people are being killed over petty crimes. The man was charged with forgery. He did not deserve to die.
We have been holding police accountable for a long time. The list of officers that were either fired, or jailed for manslaughter, is pretty consistent.
In this, yeah, that guy needs fired, and even jailed.
There hasn't been a time where officers were not held accountable.
Nonsense. Every single one where they weren't put before a jury to decide their guilt or innocence, were not held accountable to the proper authorities.
You want revenge, not justice.
In a government of the people, for the people, and by the people; the People are the rightful arbiters of justice.
And police officers are servants of the people, and I support them protecting society by killing criminals.
Until he had been convicted by a jury, or plead guilty he was just a citizen. And if you support the police killing people suspected of criminal behavior, while under no threat of harm; you support the killing of innocent civilians. Which makes you the enemy of free men in this country. I'm sure you'll change your tune when its your turn in the barrel.
Bull crap. You run at a police officer and try and take his gun, you are a threat. You are threat to the officer, and society, your death is a benefit to everyone.
I'm sure you'll change your tune when its your turn in the barrel.
But see, I wouldn't be in the barrel. Because I'm a law abiding citizen. When police officer says "stop"... I don't run away, or argue, or try and take his gun.
What do I do when an officer of the law says stop?...... I stop.
I've had a few interesting run ins with police officers.
One guy pulled his gun on me, and started telling me to put the phone on the dash, and hands up.
"Yes sir." Put the phone on the dash, and put my hands up.
Nothing else happened. Because I followed orders, and did what I was told, and treated the officer with respect.
I had another guy, yell to put my hands on the steering wheel, and not move.
"Yes sir." Put my hands on the steering wheel, and I kept them there, until I was specific told I could move. Which by the way, was almost an hour and a half later.
Nothing else happened. Because I followed instructions, and treated the officer with respect.
See? Good people don't get shot. Bad people do. Are there exceptions? Sure. I've met bad police officers. Any group that has people in it, is going to have bad people.
Are there examples where officers shot someone they should not have? Sure.
But generally speaking... good people don't get shot. Bad people do.
Most of the examples of the past 8 years.... have all been terrible people. Defending criminals, is what evil people do. Which makes YOU an enemy of free men in this country.
I'm on the right side of this debate. You are not. You are the evil in this country, that needs purged.
Your definition of "good people " seems to only be people who follow orders, and don't question authority, lol.
I don't think you have much of a handle on this "freedom" thing we are supposed to have in this country. In fact, I think little drones like you are the reason we have to keep reminding everyone this country is supposed to be free.
You're on the wrong side of things.
Sure that's part of it, yes. Being a rebel, gets you killed, and rightly so. We have laws. You obey the laws, you gain the protection of the laws. You don't obey the laws, you get yourself killed.
Yes, part of being a good person, is obeying the laws, and obeying authority.
What, you think being a good person, is raping, and abusing, and killing people, taking stuff that isn't yours, and destroying other people's property?
Do tell... how do you define a good person?
I don't think you have much of a handle on this "freedom" thing we are supposed to have in this country. In fact, I think little drones like you are the reason we have to keep reminding everyone this country is supposed to be free.
Ooooh pleeeease....
Millions of immigrants a year, trying to get here, because we have no freedom. Enslavement is so fun and enjoyable, that we need a wall to stop people ILLEGALLY entering.
You whiny, pathetic, ungrateful, spoiled brat snot. Your parents should be embarrassed they raise such trash.
You can learn to toss a ball in a hoop, and get one million dollars a year....
One million a year to play a game! Top 500 players at least. So little freedom... how horrible.
Colin Kaepernick, marginal quarterback at best, throws a ball, refuses to stand for the anthem in protest of the country that is paying him $126 Million dollars. Oh... man, so little freedom here.
How Mexican immigrant Jordi Munoz set up the largest US-based drone manufacturer, a company called 3D Robotics.
www.bbc.com
Mexican immigrant setups international drone company, and is worth billions. Oh.... how little little freedom we have!
Megan Rapinoe can kick a ball around in a sport, almost no one in America cares about, go around the talk shows, because she's gay, as if that's an achievement... no one bothers her, and she is paid over $200,000 a year, and has a networth over $3 Million for play a sport, I can't find a single person anywhere who watches it.
Oh... if only.... IF ONLY!.... if only we had freedom here.
You, know, freedom like Saudi Arabia. Where if you simply refuse to go to the mosque, your parents can, and do, kill you, and this is considered honorable.
You know freedom where just being gay, would get you stoned to death, and the authorities not only wouldn't stop it, they'd help.
You know freedom like, Rwanda, where if you happen to have the wrong great grand father, then everyone kills you.
You know freedom like Russia, where if you do work hard, and earn a lot, and build a company, the Russian government trumps up false charges, through you in jail, and installs a puppet of the government.
You know freedom like in Venezuela, where if you speak against the government, the Chavistas... the militia gang unofficially sanctioned by Chavez, will gun you down in the street.
You know all that freedom they have, that we here in our enslaved America can only dream of.....
You sir.... are a spoiled ungrateful brat, and are an embarrassment to decent people, and all those yearning for freedom around the world.
