Coronavirus:

When i walked out of our shop mid March. One of the guys questioned me. When do you think the virus will be over? My answer to him was. When a police officer shoots an unarmed black kid. Problem is we should join together and fight the power. A zebra mafia of black and white side by side. Point fingers at the elected officials not one and other.

Something I have been thinking about the past week Do you suppose George Floyd would still be alive if he had not been passing off $20 dollar bogus money.

He already had several felony conviction and spent 5 years in prison for armed robbery. Or was it inevitable that his life would end this way

Investigators Mark Gardner and Ivory Streeter, who were both members of the department's fugitive unit, were terminated from the police force, a spokesperson for the APD told Insider. Streeter worked with Atlanta Police since 2003 and Gardner since 1997.

Still no excuse to kill a guy who's begging for air, but interesting the media makes no mention of his priors. Typical of our media today, as they love fanning the flames or throwing gas on the fire.

It would be tough to be a cop these days, you don't know who's carrying a gun, who's going to go postal.........I think we have a lot of scared law enforcement personnel who are overreacting, plus some officers who think they are above the law.

They're actually not relevant; it's just as you stated - no excuse.

Sadly all true.

Don't get the impression that I'm justifying what happened because I am not. That was unnecessary use of force.

What surprised me was that the others didn't stop it or others there didn't make the effort.

I have mulled this over and asked myself if I would have made the effort to confront the cop knowing that I would be arrested also

Never, ever would think you condone this behavior Hondo. Your posts are always middle of the road and for information only and appreciated.

Yeah, it was pretty sad to see the one policeman just milling around within earshot of the victim. I think their department will be much better with the absence of these guys.

Now I have another question. How does a convicted felon that spent 5 years in prison for armed robbery get to be a security guard.
Minneapolis has got to be one Fked up city to allow that along with an out of control police department

Another layer in the case was revealed on Sunday after Crump said Chauvin must have known Floyd before the incident that resulted in his death because the two worked a nightclub together as recently as last year, its former owner said.

The club owner said she was unsure if Chauvin and Floyd knew each other while they both worked at the same venue.

"[Floyd's] family has been notified by the owner of a club that Derek Chauvin was an off-duty police officer while George Floyd was a security guard. And so they had to overlap,” Crump said on CBS News' "Face The Nation." "That is going to be an interesting aspect to this case and hopefully upgrading these charges to first-degree murder because we believe he knew who George Floyd was."

"That is going to be an interesting aspect to this case and hopefully upgrading these charges to first-degree murder because we believe he knew who George Floyd was."

Guessing that won't happen due to the factor of premeditation.

1st degree is premeditated, 2nd degree is not. they are both intentional. 3rd degree is manslaughter . 1st degree murder is premeditated , i.e. i stalk someone over a few days and plan their murder. 2nd degree is a more likely possibility. (opinion)

This morning, the county DA issued arrest warrants for six (6) Atlanta police officers. As far as I know, four of the six were still on the job when their arrest warrants were issued.

If Trump plays this right, he'll be able to push the virus news and his gross ineptitude and mismanagement right off the news..........

Even my grievously enfeebled mind can distinguish between healthy thread drift, and thread hijacking. Should I start a thread about police enforcement of white racism through murder? Would that help?
