I totally agree here.

But at the same time Breonna Taylor asleep at her house and George Floyd, for all his faults, was begging for his life for 9 minutes because of a $20 bill....and those stories piss me off.

It has to be taken case by case. Blanket statements just don’t apply.

I'll give you that, but I would guess in the majority of the cases my statement applies.
Also I still think this Floyd case was personal.

Will ME-TV take Dragnet, Adam-12 and Highway Patrol off the air? I would suggest they not because their audience is traditional and not the woke crowd. I'm of an age that I remember these shows being on the air and how not much has changed. The LA PD in particular had an image problem after the Watts riots and that's part of why Jack Webb created the show. Not much has changed today. We still have riots crying racism and the cops get the blame. I've seen this rodeo before

Me too, but that destroys the old "all cops are racists" narrative.

Also its not an excuse, but I understand the actions of the other officers involved as well. If all were rookies or pretty new and Chavin was the senior officer then theyre going to listen to him. If not they could be charged with insubordination and lose their jobs.
With that being said they were wrong, but I can see why they didnt step in.

True, each case should be looked at seperately. The needless death for carelessness or indifference pisses me off too.

I would still like to see someone investigate any possible past negative interactions between Floyd and the cop when they worked at the same place. A personal vendetta may have existed, but that would destroy the narrative.

They knew each other and I think that played into it, how much we may never know.

This should have ITS OWN THREAD

BLM IS FUNNELING MILLIONS DIRECTLY TO THE DEMS....SUPER PAC...WTF????

BLM is just the latest left wing cause group. Look at what they stand for on their website. It's a left wing wish list. They prey on people's guilt and feelings to get donations for left wing causes. All you gotta do is come up with a catchy name for the latest cause.

Umm a companies responsibility is to its share holders. Period. End of discussion. If they think this what’s best then so be it. They may be wrong. But the more and more you see this happening suggests not. Tide is changing.

As many that think this is a good idea there are just as many that don't. Just like with covid its crap stirred by the media and companies more worried about the louder than the numbers

Yeah if Disney doesn't take a stand people might stop going to their parks.

I am all for boycotts.

Let's start with celebrities. I imagine these political genuises would change their tune if their 100k goody bag at the oscars got reduced to some skittles and a coupon book. It is obscene how much money they make , the perks , and dare I say it the privilege they enjoy. You know all the things they say about other rich people.
