Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man part II

What crime are you talking about? Opinions aren't crimes... yet.

Someone early stated they believed that the officers testifying against Chauvin were purposefully not telling the truth.

 

[Kutnupe14]

actually it was. it was a scam Georgie boy and his buddy was trying to run.

There may have been a scam, but that doesn’t prove the bill in question was counterfeit. Apparently that bill has been lost to history.

Well, I missed that. You did misinterpret one of my posts to that end but I did not say that in real life.

I have not heard that the bill is lost except for you saying it.

 

[BugI02]

It's worse than that. If this were a movie, the bill would be the MacGuffin. It literally does not matter to anything about anything

Yeah it was a statement that they are covering their asses and careers. I would not rule this out 100% either.

But in the end there was a bad Ju-Ju between those two that went back a ways.

How convenient. It must be with the errant wayward laptop and all of our lost socks...

Here we go again. The stupid. It burns.

Apparently it is not only racist but a threat to the safety of black students such that they need fear being dragged out of their beds at night for a lynching that someone suggested that Floyd's overdosing on drugs just maybe contributed to his death.

So now facts are racist?

Why place the Floyd Toxicology on a Black History Month display? Someone was trying to send a message. Yeah, if I became aware of something like that, a short distance from where I sleep, I wouldn't just dismiss it as something I shouldn't be concerned about.

 

[nonobaddog]

It was a display "honoring" black victims of police violence.
I suppose I can see why they wouldn't want to tell the whole story.

I understand. A toxicology report is just as much of a threat as a noose when one's worldview rests on nonsense like St. George being randomly murdered for being black in public.

I didn’t know that. That is at least noteworthy to mention. Still, if you don’t agree with such a display, make you point elsewhere rather than deface it. And before anyone chimes in, that goes for anything, especially the things that will be brought up in 3...2...1...

Putting a flyer on a bulletin board is defacing it?

First, I would not really consider this defacing. I do not agree with it being done. I also don't agree with such a display being in a college residence hall.

Second, in today's world, especially on a college campus, how would one go about making this point without being immediately attacked?

Third, many students today are just flat out wimps. The quotes from the students in that article are silly at best.

"All of a sudden, someone comes up and is essentially sticking a thumb in the face of every Black person, saying his life didn't matter, that he wasn't a good person, because of one $20 bill," Mohn said. "I was just really really surprised by it, that someone would put that much effort into trying to strip someone of their humanity for no reason."

"I was honestly terrified; I remember shaking in that moment," Manns, who is Black, told CNN. "That happened right down the hall from where I sleep, from where I'm supposed to be safe."
Whoever this person is, Manns said, they think Floyd deserved to die because he committed a felony, or that he was responsible for his own death. And they may think that others who look like Floyd, like Manns, deserve that, too.
"The thought that it could be someone I've lived with all these months really terrified me," he said.

It is curious that they turn to the head of the dept's Homicide unit to testify and not the department's Use of Force subject matter expert that teaches the officers use of force. I know that if I had a UoF question, I sure as hell wouldn't ask Homicide.

I believe the training sergeant and a couple UoF experts are slated to testify either yet today or tomorrow.

I think the lost sock dimension is one of the extra ones predicted by string theory

At it now. Its pretty obvious that the policies being g quoted were designed to protect the drpartment from liability as opposed to being practical in reality.

The headline for that story is:

A printout of George Floyd's toxicology report was found on a Black History display at Duke University, insinuating that he deserved to die

I'm not sure how they get there. To me it 'insinuates' he killed himself, the encounter with the police just changed the timing a little
