Oh, you're an idiot who lacks reading comprehension as well. My problem isn't the way he thinks. Like I said if he chooses to be selfish that's on him and it's no skin off my back. My problem is he's putting down good people who do good work. I'm not gonna stand for that. If he wants to soft shoe with you fools be my guest.

Are there those who are beyond help sure, but do I know that before getting to know them no I don't. What you basically was a slap in the face to any black professional w/ poverty striken friends and family. And there are plenty are plenty of us. Would I love to be selfish and not pick up the phone for cousin who goes in and out of jail? Sure but who would that help. So I answer the phone and I bond him out. I help him clean up, I even let him stay with me and wife while he cleans up. I help him find work, I help get into technical school. A year ago I watched that man, you and others like you, would have seemed a lost cause get a apprenticeship for welding. I was the last person on his list of numbers to call. He told me that everyone gave up on him.
You're a good man bro.

Nah. I’m happy as a clam waiting on a document I need to get started restoring an old Boston whaler.
It’s going to be beautiful but a lot of work.
Besides, I didn’t just type that I’m not going to stand for something this or that.
Try to be less angry.
ETA: I do think your story about your cousin is a good one. My friend has a brother that seems like he’ll never learn and they keep bailing him out. It’s sad.

Appreciate that but I just did what a community is supposed to do. I lifted him when he needed it. I'm juat thankful I was in a position in life to help him.

Game. Set. Match.
Doesn't make Floyd's death any less wrongful, and damn sure doesn't exonerate the cop(s). Of course Floyd was no saint, though.

I'm not black. I don't know what it's like to be black.
I do know what it's like to come from nothing but a single wide trailer in Alabama and be fortunate enough to have a mom who taught me right from wrong and a father who worked 60-80 hours a week, holidays, weekends working his arse off welding at the Georgia Pacific paper mill to put me and my brother through college.
Wish more people had families like mine.

Honestly, Floyd was lucky he wasn't killed when he broke into that woman's home.
Breaking into a person's home and pointing a gun is a easy way to die.

My wife a school teacher in a poor suburb of Houston, asked the same question that she asks her 6 th grade students when they get in trouble, what did he do, why was he arrested, Floyd put himself in that situation, the cop did not. Common sense is u don't commit burglary, & if u get caught don't resist the man with a gun. Till today I didn't know what crime Floyd had committed, now it's obvious he was going to jail but the cop who arrested him screwed up. 2 obvious observations, Floyd fuked up but so did the cop. Don't think it was a racist act but many blacks do, just like the Fergusion deal. When are Black thugs or criminals going to realize it's against the law to run a Red Light. Get caught by the local police or DPS your getting a ticket 9 times out of 10.For some reason Laws don't apply to thugs, criminals , or Hillary. It's pretty simple but the protesters don't want to see the other side of the story. The paid protesters don't give a Shi=

You say I'm selfish because I don't want to do what you think is right. But, for all you know I may give back in another way. Whether I do or not is not up for discussion in this thread.

No, it’s because people like you use it as if it’s some quasi-justification for the police to do what they have done. Again, he had a knee to the back of his neck for 10 mins. Was he a saint? Absolutely not. But since when does a criminal record allow this type of force to be used against you?
You do know the same thing happened to a white guy in Dallas right. Except the cop had his knee on him for 14 minutes. Whites are killed by cops too.
Both colors have bad people. You guys have the "thugs", we have the "meth heads, skin heads, trailer trash".
It is what it is. Both colors get shot and killed by police.
Where the white riots, bro? Oh yeah, they're marching for Floyd but not for white victims.
In this context, nobody gives a crap about white victims. Guess our privilege is running low.

On September 6, 2018, off-duty Dallas Police Department patrol officer Amber Guyger entered the Dallas, Texas, apartment of 26-year-old accountant Botham Jean and fatally shot him. Guyger said that she had entered the apartment believing it was her own and that she shot Jean believing he was a burglar.[1][2] The fact that Guyger, a white police officer, shot and killed Jean, an unarmed black man, and was initially only charged with manslaughter, resulted in protests and accusations of racial bias.[3][4][5] On October 1, 2019, Guyger was found guilty of murder.[6] The next day, she received a sentence of ten years in prison.
Found guilty of murder. And what else are we to do about it?
Like I said earlier, bad apples everywhere buddy.
I'm gonna go back and read this thread some more. It seems juicy.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I thought this was the general consensus on the board.
But yea, Floyd's time was probably coming one way or another. He was a bad hombre.

The guy asked why you don’t hear about blacks with no criminal record get killed by cops and I simply gave an example that was a storyline for weeks.

There should be no reason to excuse or explain away that kind of awful behavior.

Reminded me of that video of the BLM guy who went through the police training and failed miserably. He was shooting everybody.
