It’s rare. Especially for the amount of violent crime black people commit and their interactions with law enforcement. White people are the ones being hunted down and killed by police and it gets no coverage. None. The country is exploding over false media narratives that aren’t backed by any statistics or data. It’s a hoax. Just like for example “hands up don’t shoot” was a hoax. It never happened. It was a lie. And idiots like you fell for it.

For the millionth time - the fact that more whites are killed by cops is the wrong number to look at since there are far more whites in the country than blacks. Black folks represent 13% of the population, so do the math using that.

The odds of being shot by a cop are much higher if you're black - especially a black male between the ages of 18 - 32 or 34 (I can't remember the exact age).

Cops are trigger happy, particularly when they're having an exchange with black males. There's a reason for that and I get it. But better hiring, better protective equpment and better training would go a long way in helping reduce a problem which most people want to pretend doesn't exist.

I just can’t believe this group of Democratic idiot leaders in Minneapolis have caused this country so much grief.

You can’t just look at it that way. While white people are a greater percentage of the population they commit far less violent crime and have far less interactions with police yet they are still killed at a higher rate. You aren’t telling The whole story only half of it. White people are killed at a higher rate when you factor in all the metrics. The narrative the media peddles is false. It’s a lie just like “hands up don’t shoot” was a lie used to manipulate people.

That doesn't make sense to me. But I do believe he meant to do grievous harm, and get away with it.
When you stay on a man's neck 3 minutes after he has no pulse, yes, your intent is for him to be dead.

What? I believe it was the cop that caused this grief. What did you want the leaders in Minneapolis to do?

He knew he was being filmed on phone and he’s a 19 year police vet. . That’s the weirdest part about this entire thing. Watching it back it’s almost as if he looked like he was possessed by a damn demon

I know. It's the very weirdest thing. Inexplicable, really.

There is more going on than what we are being told. It's coming to light both worked together in another place. I personally think there was a political hit put on Floyd for some reason. Maybe he saw something and needed him to be shut up.
