Uh huh of course.

[Omegas3]

This is straight up murder.

[soja]

So it looks like an idiot cop who fancies himself some king of action hero with kung fu grip helped kill a man who they were trying to arrest.

The news stories you will start to see in the media are going to try to use this story to inspire civil unrest, but I hope many of you here will be able to think for yourselves.

This is tragic and fucked up, but I personally do not see this as evidence of the agenda mainstream media likes to push. I see this as stupid, poorly trained cops who over-reacted to a goof who was trying to resist arrest like an idiot. The guy basically dies on video while onlookers plead with the police to get off the suspect so he can breathe.

Video shows cop with knee on neck of moaning man who later died
A video taken by an onlooker Monday evening shows a Minneapolis police officer keeping his knee on the neck of a motionless, moaning man at the foot of a squad car. The man, who was later identified as George Floyd, later died.
Tuesday afternoon, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced that four officers involved are now "former employees" with the department, CBS Minnesota reports. Mayor Jacob Frey tweeted, "Four responding MPD officers involved in the death of George Floyd have been terminated. This is the right call."

A police statement said officers were responding to a "forgery in progress." "Officers were advised that the suspect was sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence," the statement said. "Two officers arrived and located the suspect, a male believed to be in his 40s, in his car. He was ordered to step from his car.

"After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance," according to the statement.

The man died soon after, the statement said, adding: "At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident. … Body worn cameras were on and activated during this incident."

Arradondo said at a press conference Tuesday that the FBI will lead the investigation into the incident due to the possible civil rights violation.
The man who died was identified as George Floyd by Ben Crump, a prominent civil rights and personal injury attorney who said he had been hired by Floyd's family.

"We all watched the horrific death of George Floyd on video as witnesses begged the police officer to take him into the police car and get off his neck," Crump said in a statement. "This abusive, excessive and inhumane use of force cost the life of a man who was being detained by the police for questioning about a non-violent charge."
Two of the officers involved have been "relieved of duty status," Arradondo said. The officers are still receiving pay, but have no law enforcement duties.

This is angering and it is unfortunate how this case is likely going to be presented in the media, but these cops really seemed like they fucked up in this situation. What the hell were they thinking?

What do you guys think?

Wow... just wow. In most cases I side with the police, but this is horrible.
Fuck those pigs.

"Minneapolis police officers involved in the death of a black man ...." What difference does his color make? Who is the racist here, or are the media just trying to create trouble so they can make overtime covering the riots? "They noted the man was under control and no longer fighting." No shit. Why do you think that was? It's because he couldn't get at them with one of them kneeling on his head. Be a fucking asshole criminal and fight with the police. You'll find out what it's like to lose. I would like to see how the critics would have handled this man mountain trying to fuck them up. Thank you officers for cleaning this shit off the street, but do try not to kill them in the process - that isn't your prerogative.

The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis said in a statement the officers were cooperating in the investigation.
"Now is not the time rush to (judgment) and immediately condemn our officers,"

This is exactly what is wrong with the Police in America.

Even a retarded man would be able to understand he's watching a man being slowly murdered on the street, yet the fu**ng Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis has the nerve to imply a mentally healthy person would be rushing to a judgment after watching a cop murdering a man in cold blood?

Police training states very clearly that when handcuffing a suspect in a prone position the knee must be placed on the shoulder, never on the neck, that criminal cop must have been aware of that fact because it is taught to all cops during handcuffing training, he has no excuse, he knew what he was doing, he intentionally killed that man!

The other cop just stood there, that's proof there are no good cops, just accomplices to a murder.

Of course it is racist, the man was Black and the murderers were Blue, the only race that has carte blanche to murder the other races and face no consequences.

Would you like to place a $$$ wager on whether or not the cop in question will "Face consequences"?

He was "terminated" (Not the way I would have chosen though), such are the "consequences" for pigs who murder people.

We both know there's a very high likelyhood of more consequences than that. You're just pretending otherwise so you can jerk off about it.
