Almost That Time Again

So inflation is not a problem anywhere else? It is unique to Canada?

Millions of people around the world marched against racism and the murder of George Floyd. They were against racism and police brutality. The vast majority were peaceful protests by ordinary citizens.

But of course the right wing extremists and white nationalists don't like the anti racism movement.

Saint George was already dead from a fentanyl overdose, he just didn’t know it, good riddance….

A cop was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, Tsipper.

But of course you are an idiot so you wouldn't know that!

[blackpowder]

A cop was convicted of murder because he was poorly screened for his job, and caught on camera, and was a pawn.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

The Police murdered George Floyd just like covid killed my 99 year old neighbor with multiple comorbidities.
Technically, it's probably true in both cases

[chuckChuck]

BP, a cop was convicted of murder because he committed murder.

Cops have killed and brutalized visible minorities before and after and there were more George Floyds who died unnecessarily because of systemic racism.

Many police departments and Chiefs of Police have acknowledged the systemic racism and are trying to change the culture.

Murder, manslaughter, assault.
He's responsible.
Happens to all colors.
He was poorly screened and trained.
And was filmed. And it was white on black. Perhaps reverse discrimination can become systemic too?

[chuckChuck]

It happens more to visible minorities.

Police chiefs have said so.

And they have admitted they have issues with racism.

[blackpowder]

Indeed. But not to poor selection and and training. Times have really changed for all employers.
Police are German Shepherds. All fine until non compliance. Then the leash goes off. It's the training and reasoning when it's off that's important.
George Floyd's tox report was full off various drugs. But the video shows lunkhead uniforms with the leash off.
That's the inconvenient truth. No politics.

So what about a person with underlying serious health issues of any type? Put the knee on the neck of someone with heart disease. What do you think might happen?

Nothing justifies a knee on the neck and suffocation during an arrest.

And you would find a lot of ordinary successful citizens with hidden addiction problems and none of that justify police brutality nor murder.

George Floyd was not the only case of a black man dying at the hands of police.

Black families teach their kids to be aware of the risk of the cops over reacting. Racism is a fact of life.

And some like to deny its an issue.

absolutely 100% wrong what cop done ,but if it was a white man nobody would care and their would have been no march's or fuss , one news story and it would be soon forgotten

[chuckChuck]

There is no racism involved when a white cop kills a white man.

They would still be charged with murder.

[blackpowder]

I'll write slower. A knee on the neck better than an uncontrolled arrestee white or black. It's the brain behind the knee that's the problem.
Catch words don't really fix anything.

[blackpowder]

There is no racism involved when a white cop kills a white man.

They would still be charged with murder.

Maybe. So if it's different colors it's racism and murder, but if it's the same color, it's just murder. Got it.

[cropgrower]

There is no racism involved when a white cop kills a white man.

They would still be charged with murder.

So if a black cop kills a white man what is it ?
