It's our duty as humans to attempt empathy with everyone, even those who have wronged us. Empathy doesn't mean inviting them over for dinner.

Maybe one day, you'll quit being such a bitter, old **** and realize how taxing it truly is to be filled with so much judgment and disdain for people who aren't like you.

It’s not that Dinka. I’m talking about career criminals. I’m not talking about a teenage kid who had a joint and made a stupid decision or a guy who shoplifted to feed his family or the parents of a drug OD who just died. I have all the empathy in the world for those people; I’m talking about the ones who hurt,steal,rape over and over without any care given to anyone other than themselves. I will never have empathy for people who have been given 2,3,5 chances and still actively seek to commit crimes and hurt victims. Some are sociopaths and some are simply criminals.

The now ex-cop is fired and charged. Nobody is supporting what he did. That should be the end of it.

Well, it took 4 days for him to get arrested. Then of course you have he trial, which should be interesting. We will see how the verdict of that goes. And we also have to have change within police departments. nationwide change. That would be a start to end all of this.

For all the panty wetting over Trump's continuous tweeting over 3 years, the fact is, the MSM dwarfs his tweets. Their messaging has caused more damage than his and it isnt even close.

I mean numb nuts went crazy in here over a fish tank cleaner death. But crickets over the MSM stirring the pot for nightly inner city destruction.

He was always going to get arrested. The complaining about the number of days is juvenile.

White woman in pajamas shot on her street by a black cop in 2017 in Minneapolis. Took 9 months before an arrest warrant for the cop was given. Wasn’t convicted until June 2019 (2 years later) and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Shooting of Justine Damond - Wikipedia

Not apples to apples obviously, but there is relevant proof that if the officers were black they wouldn’t have necessarily been arrested the same day.

This is a pizz por example because now you have listed a second incident in Minneapolis where a police officer killed a civilian unjustly and the system dragged its feet to serve justice. The third incident would be Philando Castille..

So now that is 3 incidents in the past few years in the same city and now that the people finally riot (because it Is obvious that the police can't police or govern themselves), you all want to wonder where all of this is coming from?

My issue is with how long it took for him to be charged and that the other 3 cops who just stood there and took no action haven't been charged. If they were black, they would have already been charged.

BS.

If you supposedly know anything about the law, you would know about the 6th amendment and the "ticking clock" that goes into effect once an arrest is made and how that can impact an investigation. The mere fact of the immediate firing by the mayor, while it may have felt/looked good, effectively kept the officers from talking and allowing them to invoke their 5th amendment rights prior to an I/A investigation, follow up interviews by the FBI and Minnesota State Investigations.

I posted earlier how this works if you wish to review for an education that you should already have.
Another bad apple

But no, you just want to go emotional with no time for logic or reason. Pretty much par for your course.

I don’t disagree, I’m just pointing out that in the Floyd case if the races were reversed it isn’t necessarily true that arrests would have happened faster.

This is a police problem more than a race problem IMO.

Definitely don't see any Trump supporters on this board blindly labelling people based on partisanship. Only the socialist commie libtards do that.

Got some news for you: plenty of republicans and conservatives don't support Trump. It's not just a "libtard" thing

You've got some reading to do...wait a minute, you're a Trumper

There is going to be an independent coroner report too. They decided there was enough evidence for third degree murder and manslaughter. It’s hard to believe what is fact at this point.

That said, it’s still pretty clear he was begging for help and the police showed a complete indifference to it. Bottom line is he was breathing at the beginning of the episode, the police kept his knee on Floyd for over 2 minutes after he was non responsive, then he looked unconscious/dead when they finally wheeled him off. The knee may not have caused the death, but it’s clear there is at least some culpability by the police here.

JMO though, I’m not a doctor or lawyer.

I agree, there was no excuse for keeping him pinned like that for that long.

The Minneapolis police department have been told for decades to get their sh!t together. Democrat leadership ignored the warnings.
