Can you actually give a single true example of a kid with a squirt gun getting shot by a police officer??? I don't believe there has been any. You say there has been "enough". By enough do you truly mean none?

There has been kids who brandished realistic looking toy guns.

I really don't know why anybody would want to be a cop. If the general public don't want cops, fine. Move to an area where law enforcement is appreciated. Let the maggots sort things out for themselves.

My buddy used to have a water pistol that looked identical to a Beretta after he pulled the orange thing off the end. I didnt see a picture of the one from the story posted, kinda doubting it looks like a super soaker.

Just saw the ABC World news. New video of when he was arrested but then skips to where he is pinned on the ground? Wonder what happened between those two points in time?
Showed video of cop having man pinned. Video showed that officer wasn't applying full pressure on man's neck because his head was moving. Officer didn't have hands in pocket.

A little self-discipline and respect goes a long ways. But yeah, we're long past those days.

when rogue cops do something horrible the video is not edited. the fact that so much is left out of this one tells me all i need to know.

Yep, clear as day.

The officer had his knee on the mans neck for a solid 7+ minutes. At no point was he even struggling and he went unconscious only 3 minutes in.

I watched this five minute segment where they originally pulled him, another guy and a girl out of the SUV. None were resisting. George Floyd was handcuffed and walked across the street to and police vehicle where he either fell or as knocked down by a cop as they were getting ready to put him in the car.








There is a break in the video sequence then this nine-minute video showing the cop with a knee on George Floyd's neck for seven or eoght minutes until he dies and the EMT's load his lifeless body on the gurney. EMT's reported he had no pulse when they arrived and checked him.





What happened between when he fell and when he ended up on the other side of the car with a cop kneeling on his neck?

Why did the cop kneel on his neck for seven or eight minutes?

Why did the cop continue to kneel on his neck after he was unconscious and no longer struggling?

Why did the cop continue to kneel on his neck even after he was dead?


Eh...wot?

Yeah, one time is probably enough for folks to be jumpy. I can't really say as I'm not likely to ever have a run in with law enforcement. It never even crosses my mind.

Probably some kind of emotions were getting in the way of professionalism.
