George Floyd / Chauvin trial starts monday

Probably wise if politicians stay out of these things all together, although one could argue that if we truly want something that resembles equality it does start with those same politicians so I understand the interest from Biden,

Agreed. She's such a horses ass. She's a hard-working politician and she's respected by many democrats, but she's increasingly awful in front of the camera. Never liked her and wished dems would push for different leadership.

A neck restraint is not deadly force. And no, Chauvin was not able to detect Floyd's multiple heart conditions and drugs in his system that lead to his heart stopping. He was saying he couldn't breath while the cops were trying to get him in the car, nobody is going to take those claims seriously.

You're a moron. Sick of you idiots taking your cues from the likes of Foxnews and Newsmax. I'd rather you just come out and say you don't like people who aren't like you, rather than hide behind these kinds of narratives.

I know you would like to hear that, because you know I am right. If I say I'm a racist then that means you can just disregard everything I say - sorry not going to happen, either try and debate or continue looking like a crybaby. Calling someone you disagree with as racist when you can't mount an argument because you follow an idiotic ideology is straight out of the liberal playbook.

I am not a racist, sorry I know that hurts your feelings.

Did we have a thread for the Mohammed Noor trial?

Oh, come on. There was a MAJOR difference in this case and everyone knows what it was. The mob doesn't care about white people. That's why it is OK to say, "Black Lives Matter" but if you say, "All Lives Matter" you are branded a racist. BLM does not believe that lives of whites, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, etc. matter. That's why they did not care at all about Justine Damond.

Looking at the two situations, I find it interesting that her family received a $20 million settlement and Floyd's got $27 million. Was his life worth more than hers?

Floyd - convicted criminal with multiple stints in prison, drug user, held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, just a total scumbag whose final act was passing a fake bill and fighting with police

Damond - college-educated veterinarian with no criminal history whose final act was calling police because she thought she may have heard someone being raped

This is what you get for allowing a high school drop out to join the police.

This will cause the downfall of BLM.

This is fun. Enjoy the verdict.

Enjoy your miserable life trolling on message boards.

Thanks. I am. But you aren't.

I'm relived that last night the rioting was minimal and wonder how long before the appeal is applied for and sparks another series of harmful riots? Armstonglivs, how does the appeal process work and when do you expect that process to begin?

Also, who will be the first juror to cash in on this trial and spill the beans of about the intimidation they felt and faced in the Minneapolis area? I heard one of the jurors lived in Brooklyn Center...

A standard definition of racist starts with “one who demonstrates or feels racial prejudice against people of other races.”

By that standard we are all racists, which causes the term to lose some meaning.

Some people(It looks like you belong to this group) want to define racist as requiring you to wake up and compile a list with the heading “how to commit hate crimes against black people.” That definition excludes most of the Harm caused by racial prejudice.

I see a few layers of racial prejudice.

1) People who consciously plan to harm people of other races because they are of other races. This is a small group

2) people who say they have no racial bias. This covers a pretty wide range of people. It includes people like someone who posted on this board that anyone who doesn’t recognize that blacks are lazy and stupid is racist(a paraphrase) as well as people who are quite moderate

3) people who believes that they do have racial bias. The question is how much people care about it and how natural i”they see it as being. Some view it as a gigantic character flaw, others would view it more along the lines of gluttony: bad, but normal, and something we should expect to manage for the entirety of our lives.

If you find yourself saying “I am not racist” you should probably reflect on how you check your biases.

you would make a lot of money with that story...

'i heard about the pigs head and realised i had to vote....

I was referring to a backlash about his sentence. Noor made a rookie mistake. There was no thought that he targeted her because she was white. He paid the price.

And the civil compensation amount comparison is nonsense, you can never compare two outcomes, even for exactly the same incident.

People seem to forget that the major 'ethnicity' on jury was white.

Yeah, and unlike Noor , he had several prior issues with black people, and especially when 'under pressure' from them, including his stints as bouncer/security guard

This one aged beautifully.

Enjoy your loss 👋🏼

A neck restraint that kills someone is deadly force.

I havent been educated to not like 'Unherd' yet, but i am not sure about this article, it rather argues against itself.

https://unherd.com/2021/05/the-day-american-justice-died/?tl_inbound=1&tl_groups[0]=18743&tl_period_type=3&mc_cid=fc60056bee&mc_eid=6771d28150

Within weeks of Chauvin murdering George Floyd, Chauvin and his attorney went to office of then U.S. Attorney General William Barr asking for a 10 year maximum sentence plea deal with his time served at a federal prison. Any federal charges would be served concurrently. So much for let'srun clowns attempting to argue this was not a murder case.

Floyd family has been rewarded a 27 million dollar settlement. Bad cops are expensive.

Chauvin has been found guilty of murder.

Chauvin is in solitary confinement at Washington County Jail with snitches, trans and sex offenders
