Then stop inventing arguments no one is making so you can more easily defeat them. I promise, you aren't going to sneak one through despite your persistence.

Like this post... Who blamed "all cops?" Because I agree, they aren't all bad...

Maybe I misunderstood.

Video captures firework being thrown at Boston officers, people following protests

This guy was probably Derek Chauvin's college roommate or something.

Unless you have a way to differentiate the good ones from the bad ones, they are effectively all good or all bad, and the protests/riots bear that out. Haven't seen anyone say "Kind sir, are you perhaps a racist?" before slinging a brick at their head yet. Seems like some inferences are being made out there based on badge and skin color.

In civilized society we punish people who do something bad and don't blame innocent people because of their group identity. From your encouragement of all this crap I assume you have a better idea. I'd hate to put words in your mouth like you keep incessantly whining about though, so let's hear it.

Ummm...you do know that under the exact same circumstances the Secret Service would respond in the exact same manner if a Democratic Savior occupied the Oval Office, right? Right? So you’re just essentially being a leftist azzhat about it and riding that for all it’s worth because orange man bad.

POTUS doesn’t make those calls, black suits with guns and comms make those decisions.

Well, it’s pretty much all they have left to cling to right now with how special their side is acting on the world stage.

Anything to avoid what is actually happening in the Capital. Is Hot-Rod scheduled on the witness stand tomorrow or is that on Wednesday?

At a time when this nation is bitterly divided, and there is animosity and distrust down racial lines, Trump has only exacerbated the problem. He has not even tried to address the situation. He turns each circumstance into a fight over partisan politics. There is never any compromise... just more and more politics as usual. He always presents himself as the victim in any scenario. Someone has done him wrong, and the other side is always at fault. There is no accountability. The buck is always passed. He is a divisive figure when that is the last thing we need from our leadership.

ROFLMAO....the left has been THE divisive force in this country since the man announced his candidacy and it predates even that.

Ah, thank you. I enjoyed that laughter.

At least they had the decency to put orange cones around the bricks indicating a trip and fall hazard.

Seems like they went out of their way to promote the safe storage of the asset.

Also, by a show of hands - who among us believes that Soros and his minions legitimately have a strategic stockpile of the 'throwing' bricks?

Have you never heard of the Secret Soros Brick Kiln in Area 51? It's Q's next target after the Cannibal Pizza People! Stay tuned for arrests in 2046.

This ridiculous post only shows that you have bought into his constantly playing the victim card... it is a sign of weakness that he would rather be seen as a victim than as a conciliator. Trump does not possess the skill set of a leader. He possesses the features of an egocentric person who relishes self-pity.

Unrelated? Crime was the reason they each were in the situations to begin with. It doesn’t excuse what happened to them but they aren’t without blame too. Especially if Floyd swallowed a bag of heroin or cocaine and that directly caused his death

No proof Arbery engaged in a crime the day he was shot.

No mention of heroin or cocaine in the Floyd autopsy. You're pulling that out of your ass.

You're looking to blame the victims, then trying to deny you're blaming the victims.

I was listening while driving. They called his walking to the church as a photo op and nothing more. Asked why is he holding a bible up? What is he God or something? Said his statements were inflammatory and will only lead to more civil unrest. He needs to go. Someone needs to remove him from office by force if they have to. That kind of off the rails reporting.

Pure hate is all it was.

I figured your upbringing made you the way you are. And no you don’t deserve to be killed, but if you continued and committed 5-15 more crimes and ended up getting killed as a result one day, do you think that your actions play ANY part in it?

Neither one was killed for committing a criminal act. Arbery hadn't committed a crime, so why do you keep insisting he did? Stop being so willfully ignorant. And Floyd was in custody and his cries of distress were ignored by police using excessive force. They were committing a crime themselves.

It doesn’t make any sense to me....none of it! First off, just the fact that a police officer is kneeling on a guy’s neck after both, he knows the guy is complaining/suffering and he’s being recorded...and his response is just twilight zone nothing!?!

Secondly, why are armed policemen getting out of the ambulance? No equipment...no resuscitation effort...no checking for a pulse. Just tossing a guy on a gurney and get some gone. Wtf? We are supposed to believe this is real life?
Click to expand...


Yeah Pacer...you and 1 other person here Apparently noticed my post and watched the video....

Yall don't think it is entirely not normal and even false flag looking that instead of EMTs with stethoscopes, medical training etc jumping out the back of that ambulance it was Leo's that obviously already knew the guy was dead ...because 1 of them already has his hand down beneath the guys floppy head to support it, as the other cop is picking up the body??? But supposedly this guy was pronounced dead at the hospital?

What the Hell went down there? In what US city do cops ride around in ambulances to pick up dead bodies???

People with a criminal past can still be innocent victims. Knowing that to be truth has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat, just a decent human being.

The medical examiner's office, said that the cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression". Cardiopulmonary arrest means that George Floyd's heart failed. He was only 46 years old.

The independent autopsy, commissioned by the family of George Floyd (and I can accept if that is not the one you wish to give merit), says that Floyd died of "asphyxiation from sustained pressure" or more officially "mechanical asphyxia".

Neither report makes any mention of drugs in his system being a contributing cause of death. You are speculating... and it would appear, falsely so.

Um I was correct that Floyd was on drugs. Did you read his autopsy. Fentanyl laced meth. That’s the report of the toxicology or are you saying that’s incorrect.
