He didn't commit anything close to murder, why would he go to jail for murder? Why would you wish for that? That's insane. | |||

Literally went to a riot zone, armed, to "quell rioting" as you put it. That's not his job. Not even remotely close. Some dude with a misguided view of patriotism. No one knows, he some dude and then "self-defense" kicked in when he shot the second two (the video that's been widely shared and we've all seen). Hopefully the jury does the right thing and convicts him as he should rightly be. I fucking love guns. I own several. I believe firmly in the second amendment. I also happen to be a democrat and believe that people shouldn't be murdered in their apartments while they sleep, and believe that everyone should have access to healthcare and basic necessities (Note: some of you will call me a socialist for this -- I believe in capitalism, but I believe we should pay a bit more to take care of people who can't afford it, so go fuck yourself). However, I'm not willing to kill republicans or people I disagree with politically -- something the right can't really make a claim to. Showing up in a city that you're driven to *by your mother* to "quell rioting", are you fucking kidding me? That's the defense? And that he's a patriotic American doing his job? Hopefully he gets skewered for this. | |||

We can mince words about it, but people think the cop like choked him to death with his knee because he was a racist, which there is essentially no evidence to support. Yet, people have been rioting and looting and beating and killing for like five months now based purely on that assumption. That's the point. | |||

This is all conjecture, what we know is he died in police custody with a knee on his back. Would you wish that upon your son? Your brother? Your friend? For better or worse, I understand that being a cop in this country is a shitty job, and Floyd was a dog shit human who did not positively contribute to his society, even up until his death, but when you’re in police custody they have a responsibility to not have you die. As far as him talking and that meaning he was still breathing, in the very technical sense, yes, but that doesn’t mean he was getting a full breath each time he inhaled for 9 minutes. The cop is culpable in his death. But I believe in Kant’s categorical imperative, and I think we shouldn’t celebrate death, lest we wake up one day and be the dog shit Chinese subhuman trash who operate 380 internment / death camps in Xinjiang. We should oppose death, even among the worst of us like George Floyd, who I do firmly believe is in hell right now. That judgment is God’s job, not mine or Officer Chauvin’s

It’s very hard to assign blame, we have a nation on edge right now and low IQ people who don’t value democracy, on both sides, making life harder for everyone
