He didn’t offer himself up as a Christlike martyr to show the injustices of America. He was murdered. It was an ugly end to a pretty bad life and it’s weird that it’s being romanticized like this. Nobody is out there thanking the victims of Nazi death camps for doing their part to show the flaws of Nazi Germany, and for obvious reasons. This is no different. | ||

Seriously, what the fuck was she thinking when she said that? Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey also expressed sentiments similar to Pelosi's. Why are they romanticizing this man's murder? https://twitter.com/MayorFrey/status/1384619597576474625 Whats with the attitude? Get down on your knees and praise Saint Floyd right this minute! | ||

Yeah I'll admit that I was also expecting only the weakest one. It's welcome and much needed progress. Still have to wait til sentencing to see what he gets hit with, but it's progress. | ||

From what I can gather, this 15 year-old girl called the police because girls were threatening to fight her outside her home. She had a knife on her in case the girls tried to fight her and a cop showed up and immediately shot her four times, killing her. No orders to put the knife down. No taser being used. Just immediate death from many yards away. Cannot be reformed. (video isn't graphic) Apparently there* is body cam footage of the event being reviewed, lets just wait until that is released before placing judgement. | ||

I will never understand why police are so quick to shoot their firearms when they have a taser perfectly capable of incapacitating someone with a melee weapon like a knife. Like, unfortunately I don't know what happened before the cop got there but I fully believe that girl should still be alive. Not going to watch if it's that graphic. But I saw someone on reddit mentioning that police officers have more leeway than soldiers in actual war zones, with the "rules of engagement." I wonder if that might be the culprit for the very high police / kill rate. | ||
