Ok
 

So I watched the video and yes, I'm outraged at the total lack of compassion and humanity from these police officers.

I thought it was the funeral for President Kennedy. Only in America can a thug, druggy felon be treated like the leader of the world. Where will they put his statue? Will they will be naming schools after him?

Drama? I guess you never attended many Irish Catholic funerals then.

Oh, thanks … which button do you press to eliminate expensive funerals for thugs, again? It's been a while since I've used one of these :ohdear:

So why didn’t that story make the national news? Why didn’t the national networks pick up that story? Because it doesn’t fit their narrative of racism & and disproportionate police brutality against blacks. Two things the media want to promote, because it gets them ratings. But if you take the time to look at the actual statistics you will see that it is a false narrative.

I often wonder how the pregnant woman who was robbed with the gun pointing at her stomach feels. I wonder what she would say? I wonder if she is still frightened? I would like to know more about what happened that day, but the archives online have been "cleaned". I could not even find George Floyd's mugshots.

It doesn't have anything to do with George Floyd's funeral as stated above, but he was honored as a hero and the truth is that no one would want their son or daughter to have four felonies and to serve time for each of them.

Certainly, ethical people can see that causing death during an arrest is a horrible thing, but I would like to see the tapes of exactly why the ruckus in the car and the other ones too blocked out. I wonder if we will ever know if he possibly did have intoxicants that were lethal. The knee on neck is used with justification, I think, on people who will not allow themselves to be restrained. Sometimes they continue fighting even with handcuffs. They struggle to their knees and kick and writhe. Especially those high on some drugs. I can't see that this incident was racist. The knee on neck is used with all those resisting arrest violently. It is used a lot and hasn't stopped the passage of air to the lungs or caused a person to stop breathing in thousands and thousands of usage. I am just trying to be fair but I know I will be viewed as racist. I hope I am not.

Thank you for your eloquent reply, I would not have been so nice. His criminal record means nothing, he was murdered by that policeman, period.
We must stop the needless killing of black and brown people, if we don't, what we see now will continue.

If they are actually stupid enough to de-fund the police, the murder and mayhem will result in many more being killed by soldiers as they try to get control back. Same will happen if they handcuff the police too much with restrictions. I really don't know why anyone would want to be a cop in this madness.

Any single one of them...that changes the channel of course. :ho:

It's hard to even comprehend the vitriol/anger/hatred/whining, coming from those that didn't pay a cent for the funeral...and could have easily avoided watching it. :oops:

Well, not TOTALLY incomprehensible...I guess. :ohdear:

Agree!!!!!!!!!

Here, Here!! Elequent reply and a great synopsys of the event. Congratulations.
It is only unfortunate that those who become upset at a White death, cannot seem to bring themselves to be equally so over a Black death.
All deaths are tragic.

If the British had just controlled the Colonist a little better, or the Colonist had peacefully protested we'd still be living in British territory.

Floyd didn't deserve to die in the way he did, and neither did he deserve the adoration and funeral that he got. A made for media even that proves Black Lies Matter. Shame on our leaders for kneeling down and refusing to take a stand against this political nonsense.

:ohdear: You're a little late.....it happened last year. What the hell let's go out today and express our outrage. I could use a new pair of sneakers..... maybe you need a new T.V. :rolleyes:

TRUTH! :thumbup:
