Marketing I'd guess. That #'s not cheap.

What an absolute abortion of justice.

Evil is good and good evil in the land of America. You're under Gods judgement now. Kiss your once beautiful nation goodbye.

Moral depravity will increase, lawlessness will increase, JUSTICE will not be done and tyrants will rule you.

Enjoy.

No it won't. Things will continue in this country just as they ever have. Why, as this verdict was being announced Columbus police couldn't even contain themselves for ONE DAY they just had to kill someone because they don't learn and they don't care.

Your speculation is nothing more than delusion propagated by your utterly twisted political worldview.

I'm sure that you don't believe this.

Believe what exactly? That America has too ingrained a flawed justice system to ever undergo any real systemic change? Yeah, I'm not a paranoid conspiracy nut so its rather obvious this is the case.

The thing is though, the cops in America are probably the least flawed part of the justice system down there. It's not the cops giving stupid sentences for harmless crimes to fill up prisons, it's not cops that arrange plea deals and other crap like that, it isn't cops allowing all manner of white collar crime to be overlooked while again, small harmless crimes get overly punished.

If people are going to be angry, be angry at the right people. This systemic problem starts at the top. Attacking cops isn't going to change that.

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

Judges and Justices are not killing civilians at ground level, otherwise I agree with the sentiment of the position you are expressing here.

I agree that plea deals are a major problem. That's the lazy CJ system taking a shortcut.

It's that last part that trips 'em up though 🤔

i think the judge was glad to be done with it. let the appellate courts figure it out!

I agree but it's not really applicable in this instance from my perspective. I personally believe that if people want to get high to dangerous levels like Saint Floyd did then it's on them and I really don't think that the cops should be involved unless they pose a danger to the public by for example driving a #ing car...and he was at the wheel when arrested. But also, he was unarguably guilty of passing a fake bill and as such deserved the attention of the police. He was a criminal and a danger to the public it's that simple. Bad life decisions lead to bad outcomes for someone somewhere. In this case it was him. Unlucky, game over...thanks for playing.

Ain't that the truth.

You're right, the police interaction was completely unwarranted and it's a shame that Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty. Chauvin is the devil.

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat

No they're not, they just take away their freedoms and sentence them to lives of misery and suffering.

The thing is, when you think about how many police officers and people there are in America, the rate of stories about police brutality tends to imply, overwhelmingly, cops are not brutal. They don't do that kind of thing. Punish the ones that do, fairly. Don't make a grand circus of the trial, don't let the media stoke a bunch of hatred and anger.

If they act in a criminal fashion, treat them as criminals. Same goes for the higher ups as well.

But when it comes down to it, if you are a criminal, committing crime and you choose to be hostile with a police officer knowing the potential consequences, then i really can't feel sorry for you.

He was:

A drug dealer dealing in one of the nastiest opiates we've
devised responsible for many overdoses and deaths

A repeat offender with a record and a history with that
officer and violence with police who was again resisting
arrest and acting aggressively

At some point, you have to use some common sense.

The whole situation is #ed, a man didn't need to die and another man didn't need to be going to jail. But from the moment Floyd decided to resist arrest, become aggressive and imbibe large amounts of fentynyl, he pretty much sealed his fate.

Honestly, the sycophancy inherent in the ideal of American Exceptionalism and overall nationalist adherence means that while many of you approve heartily of the appearance of the Pledge of Allegiance in this thread I feel very few of you take heart or notice of the very qualities of it's nature, meaning and applicability. It is disheartening to say the very least.

But now Floyd's bad decision has seemingly captured somebody else in his orbit to crash and burn along with him. That shouldn't have to happen.

Probably some kind of leftist 3d chess
Make the police and people become enemies.
Remove firearms.
Usually the police (sherriff's in particular) are pro 2a.

...or there's a freakin comet incoming and this past 2 years was a play

I haven't decided yet
