Police Brutality Thread

The police department of Huaraz peru is all women. They give hugs to people having break downs, instead of shooting them. If they shoot anyone, they are taken off duty. If it wasn't an imminent danger, they are fired.

I'm not a racist, but I feel sorry for Chauvin and I don't give a fuck about Floyd. It has nothing to do with skin colour. If Chauvin was a black cop and Floyd was white - and the circumstances were otherwise identical - I'd feel exactly the same way. Black people aren't being murdered in their sleep by cops. That's total bullshit.

Why is everything about skin colour?

On one hand you've got Chauvin, a police officer for 20 years who risked his life in a daily basis to protect everyday people. It's not racist to call him a hero.

On the other hand you've got Floyd, who (let's not shy away from the truth here) was an absolute piece of shit.

I think that your characterization of Chauvin is a bit idealized. Chauvin was not exactly an exemplary public servant, he had numerous complaints filed against him before the Floyd incident. He was what’s known as a “bad apple”, and his badge gave him the ability to act more-or-less with impunity, at least before the Floyd incident. That’s presumably how he was able to casually put his weight into someone til they went limp in front of an audience

As for Floyd, even if we take that to be true (that he was a “piece of shit”), that doesn’t matter...no one deserved to die like that. Same goes for Chauvin, I sincerely hope that he finishes his sentence in one piece and finds some redemption. What he did was 100% wrong & condemnable though, both on a moral and professional level. It was a callous act of murder, and the fact that it was carried by a law enforcement officer in front of a literal audience makes it far, far worse than if it was carried out by some random scumbag.

To the guy saying he’s a hero who deserves a parade, do you feel better? Did you “trigger the libs”, or whatever your goal was with that provocative statement? Yeah, celebrating a man’s murder and endorsing the idea that police can snuff someone’s life out with complete impunity in a public setting, yeah that’ll lead to a good society
 
You posted most of that earlier in the thread and I quoted and replied to it. I don't see it as a callous act of murder. He didn't intend to kill him. The way you're saying it, it sounds like he beat him to death with a hammer or something. If he was doing that, people would have said something. The other police officers would have stepped in. Floyd died while being restrained. This wasn't like the Rodney King incident. Floyd was a violent criminal, plus he's a big guy and he was kicking the officers before he was restrained.

Nobody is saying police should be able to beat people to death in public for no reason. I don't know why this discussion needs to be dishonest. The guy resisted arrest repeatedly. He played the same bullshit game the last time he was arrested. I'm not saying he deserved to die, but let's just call it what it is. He has a long criminal history and he wasn't playing ball with the cops. He was physically resisting. Four police officers couldn't get him into the car. I don't buy the "he was having a breakdown" bullshit.
 
They would’ve said something? Something along the lines of stop, don’t do that? Maybe even the victim in question would’ve said something along those lines, all of which were ignored by a disinterested Chauvin?

I probably did say something like that earlier in the thread. But, what is original in a thread with over 1K replies, on a topic like this? People keep saying the same stuff, mostly regarding Floyd being a “bad hombre” and that somehow excuses or at least mitigates what happened, so I’ll keep stating my position, which is that George Floyd was murdered and, if anything, Chauvin’s professional capacity as a law enforcement officer heightens, rather than diminishes, his culpability.

I'm not saying that.

I just don't get why the dishonesty is necessary. All this carrying on about one guy who was a violent criminal and resisting arrest out of a population of 320 million. Like it's some massive tragedy and evidence of racism and corruption, blah blah.

Shit happens.

This sort of thing is rare.

No, it was word for word.
You did a duplicate post and then added a bit to it.


 
Was the officer that shot Ashley babbitt to death as she smashed her way into the capitol to murder senators and stop an election a hero?

Or only the cops that murder black ppl passing off fake 20s, sleeping in their beds, and selling loosy cigs?

I know your answer do you don't even have to bother responding. It's just to point out that your comment has nothing to do with adoration for public safety.

Drop your virtue signaling cop worship and at least say what's in your heart.

Just like the blue lives matter crowd that viciously attacked Cops protecting the capitol you don't give a fuck about cops or admire them, you just like seeing them used as a tool to kill ppl you your self hate. So just be honest with everyone here and say what you really think...although if you were actually honest the mods here would ban you so I guess you can't be.
Yes I do care about cops who save lives, and I knew you’d called me a racist, I don't care.

What about the rioters who were creating chaos and robbing and looting, those were innocent people too right, they really gave a shit about Floyd, no they just wanted free stolen merchandise, I've been in these situations fighting these cowards off back in the 80's already.

I hate African Americans, Hispanics, Whites etc, who do things like Floyd did, not the law abiding ones who don’t things like Floyd did, now he gets a statute in almost every city he's not even from, hell Martin Luther King didn't even get a statute, in the City Hall of Newark NJ where I was born, nor did the rioters who lost there lives during the '67 riots.

I've stood up and fought back as early as 16yrs old when in my city we'd have race riots, when the neighborhood started changing for the worse and you'd get jumped for the color of your skin.

There was no viciously attacking cops, the cops opened up the barriers peacefully, and these people just walked through, one lady got shot and killed a former service woman, that was tragic.

You couldn't walk in my shoes.

I love the police, because of them we can safely go on about our business, yes there some bad ones who take advantage of their badge, but the majority are good, and yes I support the blue line and always will. I've been in many race riots throughout my young life and even been held up at gunpoint by these Floyd types, you are wrong there were no police beaten, they would've taken there guns out so fast those unruly rioters who would've beaten the officer up would have been shot, because most of those demonstrators were carrying guns.

I've earned my badge and stripes.

P.S. Ashley Babbit broke the law and paid for it with her life, were there and riots or looting in here name?

Hold on people. Don't go getting too emotional on the 270 month sentence. Whether you agree with it or you don't. We actually need to wait and see what happens in the near future. There are several factors in play that may decrease, or increase, his time behind bars.

Nelson has something up his sleeve. Chauvins remarks at sentencing implied as much anyway. Whether or not he wins any of those appeals is up for grabs, but there will indeed be appeals. They will be heard by the end of the year more than likely.

He is also headed to Federal Court, along with his 3 co-defendants in September. The Feds are NOT going to take this lightly and probably won't even allow him to plea, just like the State of Minnesota didn't.

I know everyone gets emotional about this case as it has a lot of societal and cultural aspects. But we have to remember that even though we all have an opinion, this isn't over by a long shot. And probably wont't be totally resolved until his appeals are over and the Feds are done with him. Could be years before his actual sentence in both Courts is decided.

For now, those that want him behind bars are happy. Those that don't have to wait awhile until the dust settles. Regardless of how we feel, the Courts have the final say and as we all know, there is no telling what a jury is going to do. Casey Anthony and OJ proved that to us long ago.
 
Take a xanax Lord. No one is going to ban you. You have done nothing wrong. Just post how you feel and keep to the BLUA and you have nothing to worry about.
Thank you Pumkin2021, these people on here calling me a coward and a cop and wishing me death riles me up, I'm no coward.

Thank you for your reasonable words, you have class.
 
I was told my posts was deleted as to not escalate the situation and using personal insults, when I was insulted first, being called a coward, yet there are people on here calling me a coward and and a cop and wishing death on me, and I’m escalating the situation? I’m supposed to stand with my hands tied behind my back while these cowards insult me?

I get it I’m not liked here because I’m not taking people’s insults and retaliate and most of you mods have me deemed a racist because I’m Patriotic and sided with officer Chauvin, I thought mods were suppose to be neutral, have the other two members who attacked me, have there posts been deleted?

There’s a double standard going on, on. Bluelight.

I think it's time to divert from Chauvin and start posting how we feel about the other 3. I can never remember their names and I should because I think they played a part in what happened. All 3 have of course have been indicted as well. They were supposed to go to trial ( or plea out to lesser charges ) in July. But when the Feds stepped in, Minnesota said OK...you can have all 4 in September, but when you are done with the other 3, we want them back because they are going to stand accountable in the State Court of Minnesota. After all, Chauvin won't be able to come back. He will now be incarcerated by the Feds ( if found guilty of course ).

" The other 3 " all played a part in his death, although 1 of them seems to have some less severe charges. Think it was the one telling Chauvin to ease up ffs. Not sure. Haven't really been keeping up. Would be interesting to get some opinions, especially what you think each of the other 3's culpability actually is.

Better question is how much of a shit show is it going to be when the Feds charge all 4 them with Violation of George Floyds Civil Rights. Does that include other peoples civil rights that were violated when the incident went down? One of the other 3 is of Asian nationality. And he might have felt compelled to obey Chauvins actions as he was his superior officer. Were his civil rights violated?

Your the fucking coward with a yellow line running down your back, I've stood up and fought back as early as 16yrs old when in my city we'd have race riots, when the neighborhood started changing for the worse and you'd get jumped for the color of your skin.
Oh the hypocrisy of pointing out Floyd rioters creating chaos and hurting innocent people...

from someone with the same viewpoints as the capitol rioters.... (and not mentioning that)

do you realize how hypocritical your own beliefs are? (hypothetical)

I can't STAND cancel culture. I am tread on as a white man, who is innocent... I also believe BLM is occasionally used as an excuse for anti-white racism... yet what you are choosing to believe is closer to a delusional dream world

Well, in reality, if Floyd is a scumbag then everyone on this website is also a huge fucking worthless scumbag...

Or are you not a scumbag like him because you're white and haven't ever been a druggy black man?

Like honestly if you want to call Floyd a scumbag you're also directly insulting me because I basically lived a very similar life to him.

Am I a scumbag?

People are kneeling because a man was fucking murdered.

It's so weird to me how openly some people will profess their racist values and hatred of black people.

Honestly I find it a bit comical anyone on this website would call another druggy a scumbag..... (and thus I conclude you call him a scumbag simply because he's black), did you think about that before you typed it? Why are you on a website for druggies and getting advice from us? We are all George Floyd here....

And with that I gracefully exit this conversation, toodaloo, class dismissed.
