Floyd was murdered.

Brooks was not.

Dims are liars.

 

[there4eyeM]

Floyd and Brooks were both victims of bad policing. This needs to be addressed. The police perform an extremely difficult and delicate function in our society, where there are violence, drugs, arms and money involved very powerfully. Most cops perform very well most of the time. If families, education and government functioned more effectively, the few problem cops would be far less of a problem.

Floyd and Brooks were both victims of substance abuse.

Brooks was driving drunk.

That’s a crime.

Brooks was driving drunk.

That’s a crime.

A victimless "crime". He fell asleep waiting in the drive thru cue at Wendy's in the middle of the night. The cop woke him up and told him to park the car. And that's exactly what he did. Brooks parked the car. Then Brooks went back to sleep. That should have been the end of it. No harm, no foul.

The cops did not have to escalate it out of pure greed for a lucrative DUI conviction.

Victimless crime?

No one has died from driving drunk?

This is a local issue and a State issue not a federal issue

He was drunk driving. If he woke up and was still drunk and killed somebody you would still blame the cops

"We cannot flunk this moment" sounds a lot like "never let a crisis go to waste". Typical democrat.

Could you explain the reasoning that you used to come to that stupid conclusion?

Victimless crime?

Can you name the victim? Of course you cannot, because there isn't one.

Sorry dude, I don't buy any of the temperance movement/prohibitionist propaganda. Nor do I support the implementation and prosecution of thought crimes.

The real issue is driving while drinking or drunk has become a money maker first while maybe even destroying the person who is doing it. About driving and hurting or killing someone you are correct about that. Our society is also a drinking and drugging one.

I agree, he shouldn't have resisted, he should have been jailed for violating his parole.

Can I name a victim of Drunk Driving?

Don't commit the fallacy of arguing from the specific to the general or vice versa. It's illogical. A compositional logical fallacy of illicit transference.

Can you name a victim of Brooks' alleged "drunk driving"?

It's illogical to presume that he was going to hurt or kill someone in the first place, nitwit.

He was sleeping.
