Add the unintended consequence of there being environmental factors that add to this, and you have a recipe for all parties involved to be abusive and reactionary in nature. I grew up in the hood. I was taught to fear the police. We didn't even give them the respect of calling them what they were. All terms were derogatory. Pigs being one of the most common, and po po. Eerily enough, I quickly learned that police officers had never hurt me. Never stolen from me. Never threatened me with a weapon. It was always someone from my own environment, that often looked like me. The hate and trust was never justified, but imagine being a cop entering such hostile territory tasked to being friendly and assume your innocence. Flip the script, and its like a panopticon prison. People knowing they are being watched will adapt their behavior. Same reason banks often have monitors showing you entering the branch. You know you're being watched. Police officers right now have to contend with this very fact. People can pull out a cellphone and record you, CCTV cameras are abundant. Imagine with all of this, and still an officer does what Chauvin does. Thats not giving a f*** to the utmost level. Quote

Watching the way this case unfolded, sure makes me want to be a cop some day... They did take special measures.

The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. So knowing that “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” we should be ever more vigilant in our assessments and oversight when dealing with our front line of defense against crime. But, in this arena, we have failed miserably and Chauvin is just one more reminder of that failure. Edited November 29, 2023 by CrakHoBarbie 1 Quote

Of course Minneapolis is not the only Northern city which is as bad racially as the South. LaQuan McDonald proved that Chicago is STILL just as bad. 16 cops on the scene filed false police reports about what happened to him. You Canadians don't understand race culture in the US AT ALL, but fantasize you do. How would YOU feel if I claimed to understand Canadian culture better than you? That would be RIDICULOUS; but that's what YOU'RE DOING. ? Don't be silly. Deluginal knows his opinion requires NO EVIDENCE. LMAO LMFAO Noor shot and killed an unarmed White woman with no criminal record and served a couple of years. Black people makeup 10% of Minnesota's population and account for over 65% of the state's annual homicides, over 90% of all gun crime in the Twin cities. Quote

I mean, you don't kneel on a handcuffed person's upper body for over 9 minutes. It's a blatant abuse of power. There was clear intent. While am not saying he deserves to get stabbed, he definitely does deserve the sentence that he got. He was careless, and even if the victim was killed by the drugs he was on, it would be hard to prove that this was not caused by what he was experiencing via Chauvin's actions. I feel they made Floyd into some type of upstanding citizen vs the drug addict that he was, but even then, he deserved to be thrown in jail, and not succumb on that day to his poor life choices. After watching a documentary called, The Fall of Minneapolis, I think Chauvin did not get justice. In fact, the trial looked like a sham. The documentary showed evidence that was withheld from the jury and the public. Quote "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

Are you afraid you'll see things that either shoot down or at the very least cause reasonable doubt about the narrative that politicians and the media put out about the Chauvin case? The knee on the neck. It was a maneuver that apparently was in the police training manual, but was disallowed by the judge. The involvement of the FBI with the coroner and his autopsy. People saying George Floyd was a healthy young man with no pre-existing health issues. Who knew that George was quite an accomplished actor? Too many lies about the whole case. And it's not entirely about the Floyd case itself, but also how far down the toilet Minneapolis is spiraling, primarily because of foolish left wing government policies.

In fact, the trial looked like a sham. The documentary showed evidence that was withheld from the jury and the public. While you may be right, I don't think he evades heavy prison time regardless, as the video itself is quite damming. There literally is no reason to kneel on a person's neck for over 9 minutes. Where I agree with you, is on the media making this a racial issue. Where I disagree with you, is on Chauvin not being in the wrong once he kept his knee on a man's neck for an excessive period of time. I live near my city core. I see arrests routinely, when I choose to shop in the area, quite routinely. See aggressive drug addicts all the time. Violent and physical arrests. What I usually see, is a suspect being apprehended using the amount of force required to perform the arrest What I have yet to see, is an officer seeming to deliberately inflict pain and injury to another for an insanely long period of time in complete sadistic silence, no commands, no warnings of the desired behavior, nothing. That was deliberate and the laws protect against this. Quote
