It is hard to prove. BLM would say that this sort of thing seems to happen a lot to black men, but never to whites. That implies racial bias, but it doesn't prove that any individual case was racially motivated.

Another Democrat City killing unarmed black men. Not a whole lot different from the Democrat party of the 40s, other than FDR imprisoning Americans of Japanese descent.

I am all behind those who protests an unprovoked, intentional killing by a police officer when that police officer goes unpunished. I'm not sure how common those would be but I would guess, not very. Each would be an individual incident. I know the George Floyd protests were misguided. The Michael Brown incident, and subsequent protests of several years ago was based on misinformation. Going further back, I described the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident as "when two macho idiots meet and one has a gun".

And third-BLM doesn't want to ABOLISH the cops sure they would like to defund the police and put that money into trained experts so that when cops arrive they don't end up killing someone over something simple. And I honestly PRAY that the cops gets the maximum because NOBODY deserves to die like that!

And speaking of POS-What do you think of those distinguished citizens who on Jan6th were beating cops with Blue lives matter flag poles? Now if there EVER was POS my friend they are!!!

Would you please provide us all with a link to the autopsy? Thanks.

Different time agreed. But he did put a gun to a pg women`s belly. Pure scum. If he followed the cops orders, maybe things would of been different.

Of course, it happens MORE often to whites, but who cares about the truth?

Default Is It Even Possible for Derick Chauvin To Get a Fair Trial??

Since the death of George Floyd, the Far Left has been on rampage. Derick Chauvin is the police officer who knelt on his neck and his trial is about to begin. I think most Americans believe that Chauvin is guilty of something, but opinions vary about exactly what crime he's guilty of.

But there's a much bigger problem. As we get ready to begin the trial, we can fully anticipate that every single juror is afraid for their life no matter what verdict they return. A verdict of "not guilty" might get them and their families lynched by the mobs gathering around the courthouse. But even a verdict of "guilty" won't satisfy the insane mob. Only the brutal execution of Derick Chauvin will satisfy them, and none of the charges have the death penalty attached, so it is absolutely impossible to please the mob. The best that the jury can hope for is to find Chauvin guilty for the worst charge possible and hope that the mob doesn't murder them and their families anyways.

Is a juror who is afraid for the lives of their families and themselves even capable of being impartial? Is it even possible to have an untainted jury? If Chauvin is found guilty because the jurors are terrified and for no other reason, can we honestly say that justice has been done?

Lol he pointed a gun at a pregnant woman belly in a home invasion robbery and served time in prison for it.

How can you be so misinformed that you think it's something that needs to be verified?
