    This is the biggest crock you’ve come up with yet. Pathetically, classical leftist response. It’s always someone else’s fault. How about this one......St George tested positive for covid. He said he couldn’t breath even before resisting, & throwing himself down......TWICE. Now if he had been white, my guess is he would just be chalked up to another covid death. But no, we get crazoids that have been locked up too long, out on a ‘spring break’ extravaganza, & you blame folks on this board for causing it. Classic.

    What did I say that was wrong? Mostly just ranting and raving in there about nothing that I could tell was related to what I said.

    While I think the reason for the protest and whether the protest is an actual protest is in question, I do believe people and police rush to judgement on suspects. When many police apprehend, they seem to believe in guilty till proven innocent. They don’t treat the suspect as an innocent person. No one cares if the guilty person gets banged-up on the way to the jail. But in the U.S. system, they are innocent.

    You must be related to EWF. You immediately deny saying what you just said, so here- “You want to know why people protest? People like you.”

    Yeah. I stand by that. The cop gets the benefit of the doubt, pleas for innocent until proven guilty, let’s get all the facts.” The dead guy gets summary judgment as guilty on this board. Tell me I’m wrong because it’s here for all to see.

    No you just assumed guilt for the guy that died as if it’s his fault he’s dead. If he was guilty for counterfeit bills there’s a punishment for that and it isn’t supposed to be a public street execution.

    Now, this might be hard for you to understand - but keep your shorts on
    1) if Floyd had not passed the fake bills none of this would have happened.
    (granted - legally it is allegedly fake bills)
    However Floyd does have a prison record and a good size rap sheet.
    Including robbery with a deadly weapon, He also spent 3 years in an AZ jail for assault
    So had he not resisted - and went thur proper arrest procedure then went to trial
    he apparently would have been convicted- but with no apparent record in Minn,
    he probably would have been given probation. But we will never know.

    Should the punishment for such a crime be death- of course not
    But according to the officers he did resist arrest. - again the punishment should not be death.

    As I have stated death should not have happen - yet people are demanding the LEO is
    guilty of murder one! -- or should we say - ALLEGED MURDER -

    From the beginning - I have basically said I want to see all three sides. Is it possible that one of the
    other three officers have a body cam. Is there something that we who did not witness the entire ALLEGED
    crime - happen that we are not aware of?

    So, UT, I ask you this - should the Officer in question - be given a fair trial - which now would have to be outside the
    city of Minneapolis? Should we consider him presumed innocent until proven guilty? Are you willing to listen to his
    side of the story?

    I shall be very interested in watching this trial -

    Now, if he is found guilty, then he should pay for the crime.

    Can I make myself any more clear?

    Why would that be hard to understand? I don’t think you are in a position to condescend here.

    You still assume guilt in resisting arrest which has yet to be proven. You bring up his rap sheet which has nothing to do with that incident. You want to bring up the past, how about the officer in question. He didn’t exactly have a stellar record himself.

    None of this would have happened had the officer in question did his job and rendered aid. Full stop.

    and NONE of this would have happen if the deceased has not allegedly broke the law

    Well, it looks like we disagree -

    Always victim blaming. All this rioting wouldn’t be happening if a cop hadn’t killed a guy (allegedly of course)

    There is no excuse for the rioting, shooting, looting, murdering, that has taken place in the wake of Floyd’s death. None.

    The counterfeit case should still be open, unless there was no counterfeit. If it originated with Floyd, then that should come out. And it would not take much to check for his prints on the bill.

    But I’m guessing he got it from someone else. It seems the media ought to be interested in how this really got started. Is there a counterfeiting ring hoping to avoid detection?
