George Floyd- Killed By Police

[Waldo]

So long as everyone is out protesting AND checking their eye-sight at the same time...

Here's another example of a black person being brutalized by the police but it's a little...awkward.

To me that one is different, only you and the mail are fixated on the race and colours.

the facts are...mentally unstable woman may be heckling crowds.

mentally unstable hits cop twice.

second cop hits mentally unstable woman.

 

Maybe he overreacted in hitting her, but anybody in the same situation prolly would in an act of self defence for you and those around you. It could also be classified as police brutality same as in the George Floyd case.

 

now if she hit the officer because he was white or the second officer hit her because she was a different race or colour, then it would be racially motivated

Official post-mortem now declares it as murder

So post mortem confirmed George Floyd died from Asphyxia. 

 

That's due to pressure applied on his neck/back.

 

Oh yeah, Trump sends message out to governors "to get tougher" and says they are "weak" in handling the rioting.

 

So just when the community is looking at the White House for something positive- a message of unity or hope- nah! 

 

Not a chance in hell with this fella in charge.

Some, not all, governors are trying to be at least a bit conciliatory. If trump keeps upping the ante, you're going to see guns on street.

Wow, just watching Trump - always thought he'd want a war this year to boost his re-election chance. I just never realised it would be a civil war.

I'm predicting this particular war won't help his re-election chances. Let's hope so.

I wouldn't say those rioters in the streets are looking for something positive. Or anything positive...

No, of course you wouldn't.
