The Trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd

Right. Any examples? You do understand that unfortunately the circumstances call for the split second decision to shoot sometimes, or do you think that police officers are going out to specifically kill black people for no reason whatsoever?

A unit like that lady might not stop after one. Cops have obviously done more than there share of wrong over there but this ain’t it on that photo for me. I wonder is that what the cop is thinking. Lady is dead and the cop’s life very likely ruined as well. The Yanks and the UK could be on the way down. The US is top heavy with the greedy, stupid and bigoted people with no conception of the reality of violence.

You’d want a lot of money to live over there really, to be able to insulate yourself from all of this shit.

Imagine writing this on the Derek Chauvin thread!

No, no examples. There are no examples. I’ve invented it all.

So you don’t have any examples of murder. Chauvin was convicted of murder, no indication that Floyd’s race was the cause of it though, some more excitable ‘allies’ are now imagining there was

Nicely done, to be fair.

It only took until post verdict for the shit to hit the fan here, we are really growing as a community.

Good to see you are admitting your bias, a good development.

I have a problem with all murder and all violent crime, that’s my bias.

Ah yeah. It’s an isolated incident. I’m just going mad. So is black America. They don’t know what they’re talking about. There is no problem, apart from the isolated cases like Chauvin which thankfully always get punished. The system works. Ah yeah.

An all lives matter answer. Just what we want.

Do you think police officers while driving around decide to just shoot black people for no reason? That they kill them after pre meditation, ie the broad definition of murder

Yes.

Then you are a hopeless idiot, but we knew that already.

Good argument.

Fair enough. That’s batshit crazy but at least you can recognize that bias. Try in future to look at the facts of each case. Thankfully courts try to.

They definitely seem to be more more trigger happy around black folk

I’d have to say I was a bit guilty of that too. A fascinating “sidebar” to the present discussion is how several times it was pointed out the resources the state had to prosecute the defendant and how Nelson, the defendant’s lawyer was basically on his own. This, I’m led to belelieve, is American justice. If you don’t have the resources to hire a competent and well resourced defence you’re pretty much fckd. (This is not to say that I think for a second Chauvin was in any way innocent)

Give us an example of a black person was was shot for no reason by the cops.

I suppose I’m biased because of facts.
