Why? It hasn't worked for you.

Exactly, because at least with me, it isn't true! Only in your mind...but you keep supporting criminals that abuse women and children, use drugs and alcohol to excess, resist arrest, fight with police, etc.

Whereas you support criminals - even killers - only if they happen to be in the police. Easy to see where you are coming from. You probably have posters of Bull Connor on your wall.

Which criminals do I support. Which criminals don't I support? Where are you gathering your information?

If police are charged with a homicide, as in George Floyd's death, then they are charged with a crime. If found guilty they are ipso facto criminals - and would be punished accordingly. That they were wearing badges doesn't exonerate them.

Great, but you didn't answer my questions, again!

This morning on my way to work I saw:

an elderly man walk across the street, in the middle of the block,not at a cross walk!

people texting while driving their cars!

a kid riding his bicycle on a sidewalk and without a helmet!

a guy roll a stop sign while turning right at an intersection

a guy flip a cigarette out of his vehicle

So if I was a police officer and wanted to hand out a ticket for any of the above offenses, would you also consider any or the above a criminal? If the police officers in the GF Case get off without charges, will you retract all you ill willed charges?

Minor infringements, that you describe above, are misdemeanours and technical infringements but not crimes. Crimes are typically punishable with imprisonment.

If the police in the GF case are acquitted of the charges against them they are not criminals. From what I have seen I would also be very disappointed if that were the outcome. They have been charged with good reason; it is my view they killed Floyd.

I wonder why this isn't getting more attention. Oh wait, the shooter was black while the child was white. If the races were reversed, CNN would have 10 articles about this case, it would have automatically been declared a hate crime and new legislation would be proposed. There were riots this last week in Chicago for the police injuring an armed black man who shot at the police first, but not a word about this case because it doesn't advance the narrative.

The accused guy was charged with 1st degree murder and arrested within hours. However thousands of blacks have been murdered by police with impunity for centuries.
