It's kind of hard to appreciate all the good and lawful protesting going on when you have a large hand-full setting a bad example...
I mean you could have 100,000 good protesters and 500 bad protesters but if the 100,000 good protesters don't turn in the 500 bad ones you just have 100,500 bad protesters!
That's according to the logic that I have seen passed around about good and bad cops anyway.
Who can deny that at this point people are rioting and looting in Democratic areas because they simply have nothing left to lose!? Or at least they thought and felt like they had nothing left to lose..
You have to wonder, as these Democrat states start opening back up and the courts with them, lots of people are going to be getting eviction notices! Some may face ballooning mortgage or rent payments and many probably won't have jobs either. That will only mean more and more people with nothing to lose. Already seen just about every high end store has been looted, seen they burnt up a Mercedes dealership, and AutoZone, cleaned out a Target... It's pretty systematic if you ask me...
People registering for a mail in ballot might not even live at the same address come election day, and to make things worse it looks like a whole lot of voters might be spending some time in jail by the time they'r trials and sentencing gets handed down, which if you think about it, just happens to be around election day! And poor Joe "Shoot em' in the leg" Biden... Oh dear...

Fingers crossed Mr.Trumpdt sorts this mess out quickly ! People are likely to vote the other-way if he lets this continue any longer.

You have got to be kidding? Most of these are Democrat districts!
Meanwhile "Shoot em' in the leg Joe" is out there hanging out with them, bailing them out! You think the vast majority of Americans watching this crazy shit on TV think that's cute? I am talking about the business owners and people living outside of the city?

Police brutality isn't just a problem in Democratic run states. It's a problem everywhere, the difference is that Democrats run the major population centers of the country that are chock full of bystanders with camera phones to bring the abuses to light.
Had George Floyd lived in a backwater state like Kentucky for example and had the audacity to engage in something like driving while black, he probably wouldn't have made it even to his 18th birthday before meeting tragedy. And in such a state where it isn't very populated, it's far less likely that such a fate would ever be made public.
Um, Floyd was a convicted Felon in Texas prior to moving to Minneapolis and records show he had a cocaine problem.
I would like to think that not resisting arrest would go a long way in not having to worry about police brutality. I know it can be tempting to mouth off or put up a resistance but one has to know that it's not going to end well, and in this case it ended tragically.
Police brutality is going to happen anywhere someone resists arrest. At the end of the day you're still going to have to tell it to the Judge.

Evidence suggest murder here SELLC. The poor SOB cried-for-help a number-of-times, & look at the result...

"Move along, nothing to see here, we've ran-out-of script on this one" :)

Didn't see you in here posting the departed's rap sheet that shows a history of cocaine abuse!? Where the fuck were you on that one Mr. evidence?
George Floyd pointed a gun at a woman's stomach while he searched her home for drugs and money, I wonder if she screamed for help? Probably not since he had a gun to her stomach! Some might argue he did that so she wouldn't scream.
No Rastus, really sounds like you don't have any evidence at all! Sounds like you're just talking out your ass mate! Looking to stir a little shit but now it's done boiled over a got on you!
Let me help with your edification,
George Floyd moved to Minneapolis in 2014 for a fresh start after being released from prison in Houston, Texas following an arrest for aggravated robbery
Floyd had turned his life around but died on Monday after a white officer knelt on his neck while arresting him for allegedly paying with a fake $20 bill
None of the officers could have been aware of Floyd's more than a decade-old criminal history at the time of the arrest
The 46-year-old had left behind his past in Houston after being released from prison stemming from a 2007 robbery
He plead guilty to entering a womans home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records
Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in jail for having less than one gram of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest
He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest
Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail
A customer's car was actually stolen right out of the service drive of my dealership. Someone acted like they were a customer and told one of the advisers that they forgot to grab something out of their car. They then proceeded to hop in and drive it away.
Yeah but that sounds like an isolated incident, along with a serious case of some ignorant employee not verifying the customer info before they handed over the keys!
Does that adviser even still have a job? Did they ever recover the vehicle?

It was still in the service write up area with the keys in it. I don't even know if an advisor had even had a chance to write a repair order on it yet. I haven't heard whether it was recovered or not, but they have started blocking 2 of the 3 entrances of the dealership so there is only 1 way in or out.
Given how much of a circus the write up area gets in a dealership at times it was a pretty slick idea. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often actually.
