Cuffed and pinned to the ground. Knee to the upper back for 14 minutes. Mocked by police.

And yet...no national outrage. No rioting. No looting. Media didn't seem to care.



Article and video at the link.

The truth is, we should all be outraged and concerned about our police departments. They are not there for your safety.

It doesn't fit the narrative. The Sky Screamers don't care about Crackers getting whacked by Cops.

Every time a white person is killed by the cops, I see no Home Depot or Bass Pro Shops being looted. The media is disgusting.

Motherfricking cops should be sitting in a jail cell, frick them all. The issue should be dealing with all these corrupt arse police departments. Police brutality is the fricking issue and it should be dealt with.

Did he die?

Did the Cop has his knee depressing the carotid artery?


Look I'm not saying whether the cop is racist.
I personally don't care if he is or isn't.


Why don't I care? Because that isn't the point. The cop committed a crime. He abused his power. His abuse of power led to this man's death.

His actions are defined by the statutes of 2nd degree murder. He should be charged and given the video evidence, convicted!

White people are generally not concerned enough with police on civilian violence.

George Soros is proud getting that ROI. He dumps a lot of money into local elections to buy these commmie local leaders. Those are the people that create this upheaval from a grassroots level. Hire shitty cops, police chiefs, AGs, Mayors, Governors....get these roles filled with your people and you can create what we are seeing right now in Minneapolis.

Yep, they have been indoctrinated for generations that they cannot think for themselves and will always vote for big government democrats.

Dangerous profession with traditionally low pay. Less than 10% of the cops are do stuff like this. We are fortunate we have people willing to this work, or there would be more innocent people being killed.

48 cops were gunned down last year protecting us, and another 19 so far this year. If you can do a better job, man up and get your arse out there in the line of fire

Why don't white people get outraged? It is fricking insane to me that there isn't even cursory protests about clear overreach.

If this happened in France, for example, there would be nationwide strikes.

Something I just told my wife. We don’t have a racist problem in our police force, we have a problem with the type of people attracted to police work.

I grew up in a small town. The entire police force was like four people, and all of them were assholes. One day the bank manager was arrested for having drugs in his vehicle. This man was a deacon and a pillar of the community.

Turns out one of the officers was having a problem with the bank and planted everything. My dad said that if that was anyone else in the community it wouldn’t have been questioned, but the man targeted had enough pull to put some pressure and the crooked police officer admitted to the whole thing.

He was fired, and less than a month later he was working for the sheriffs office in our county.
