Coverage has been going on all morning at breakneck pace everywhere. I didn't start a thread about it here for a very specific reason. Yes it is fucked up beyond all means, but let's not cause this to turn into a feeding frenzy here.

TREAD CAREFULLY folks... Very sensitive territory this is going into.
 
Should I be concerned with all homicides or just the ones the media tells me to?

No... you should ignore the fact that, even during lockdown, Rahm Emmanuel's Chicago set a new record for homicides and attempted murders/assaults this past weekend.

Hope they were all wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart while they were killing each other...

Just 'sayin.

They use Racism to control the races...

Not to take away from what happened because its a sad tragic event.

Why is it only a certain demographic gets all worked up when a total stranger on the other side of the country meets his end but more specifically only if its at the hands of a person with either badge or a lighter complexion?

Any other combination and nobody thats not directly connected cares.

You don't see white folks all worked up if a white man dies.

You don't see the Hispanics all worked up if a Hispanic man dies.

You don't see Asians all worked up if an Asian man dies.

Watch along. Missed the action earlier. Still ongoing.

Edit:
If the broadcast goes out just give it a bit and it will come back.

And rightly so but thats another aspect. The subconscious sympathetics.

Just like when they showed the "kids in cages" before the midterms. It sets up a frame of mind.

Now the media circuis can craft a political narrative, lay blame, twist words, elevate a hero Like Robert Francis aka Beto.

Biden will pick a Black woman as a running mate, this is the framework.
 
Fuck black, fuck white, he's is, or was, a human being. I hope his family owns the city when this is done.

Yes True. But what about all the other human beings that we don't know their names because the Mainstream media decides who we care about?

Why are some more important than others?

To the last part of your comment, he was gonna pick a black woman well before this, to get the votes. Once in office he will become "sick" and not be able to hold the office, then the VP becomes President....

I believe he will pick Hillary and when Joe steps down Hillary and Nancy will inherit the White House.

So is being fired from your work a new thing for when you murder someone?

Cuz if it is, I can see the unemployment rate grow even more?

Oh wait, nvm, that's not the case. If some random folk murders someone, he still goes to jail. Cops though, they can do stuff like that and only get fired.

Seriously though, did these officers ONLY get fired or is there more to come? If I'm missing something, can somebody tell me?

The coroner has apparently ruled the death a homicide. Whether that sticks or not... firing probably removes their free union attorney representation and leaves them with public defenders or broke trying to hire an attorney.

There are all kinds of machinations going on right now. And it won’t go well for the officers Based on what is public, anyway.

Can the SA make homicide stick? I predict it will get pled down. But FBI and DoJ are on this and if they make it a civil rights case, they will not stop until they win.

Long hot summer ahead... buy more ammo.

Irregardless of his race he was a American.

Troubled? Yes he was.

The dude did not deserve this. The media turned it into a race issue but this really is a overreach of power issue which is really starting to be the norm. This goes for both sides.
 
I hope the POS that kept his knee in the guys neck for that long after he stopped moving gets a cozy cell with a loving cellie. He knew exactly when that man went limp and did not care.


That Facebook video was one of the most damning pieces of evidence probably in recent history. There is absolutely no way even OJ's lawyers can spin it around to that officer's favor... He fucked up hard, and the other three are also going to be facing big time music for standing around and doing nothing.

ETA: Shit... They just doxxed them on Twitter. Holy shit, these mofo's just put their own families in danger for this clusterfuck...
 
So glad I moved away from that shithole of a city. Talked to a buddy tonight who's best friend is a Mpls. cop. Those officers are in some serious shit.

Maybe....

Getting away with murder is a common occurrence it seems, but this is an election year and the politicians probably need to be seen to do "something" about the out of control police types killing citizens, so maybe at least some justice will be done. But I'll bet it's a slap on the wrist at best.

This isn't a race issue, this is a bad cops issue. Both the dude with his happy knees and the oblivious twat in uniform who didn't do nuffin to stop him.

We don't need less racist cops, we need better ones.

The guys who did in Freddie Gray were all minorities. It's not a race issue, this is purely HR, lack of self-regulation amongst the ranks and political correctness coming to bite the gen pop in the ass.
 
The ones standing around are spineless fucks. Whatever happened to doing the right thing? Seriously how could they just stand there and think it was gonna end well? Their careers are over and now their families are in danger all because they didn’t sack up and do what’s right. It’s a fucking shame that so many lives are affected over the cowardice of so few.

I'd say it's more a result of decades of there being little to no personal consequences and responsibility for their actions.
When you can do almost anything you want, no matter how bad and the taxpayers pay for it all and you get a couple days off with pay and at worst get your full retirement a bit early, it's no wonder this stuff keeps happening.
 
For the official record, any officer involved shooting death is listed as "Homicide" on the death certificate. Thats listed any time one human kills another.

Its just another way the media spins things if we are not informed and understanding the language.

This is in no way defending the actions or circumstances in this case. Obviously this is a bad case and set of circumstances.
