George Floyd Murder by Cop

[BerenTebogo]

I've talked about it here before, but he was a sound recorder for the film crew, they responded to a robbery in progress at a Wendy's, he ran in with the camera guy, the robber (armed with a pellet gun) ran towards him at the door as the cops shot at him, hit my friend (we were classmates in grad film school at U. of Miami) in the armpit so it missed his bulletproof vest, killed him.

Cops fired 36 rounds, despite obviously other people around the fleeing target.

36 bullets to stop theft from a Wendy's. Sorry that happened.

I'll take prime examples of the problem for $1000, Alex.

Was anyone fired? Sued? Anything? Justified shoot?

I'm not one to talk when it comes to derailing threads but maybe this isn't the best place for this lol.

We kissed and made up. It wasn't sloppy but there was a little tongue.

His family reached a settlement with the production company but their civil suit against the police department failed because "good shoot" basically

Grades are submitted and I can fucking finally post again! (Self prevented so I wouldn’t get distracted).

1. Fuck the police

2. Fuck Lori and Chad

3. 13th is a required film to watch

4. Fuck the prison system

5. I need to take a DNA test as the “Am I half black?” debate is starting to rise again (articles about POC wanting schools to teach more Ancient Egyptian history of a time period when “blacks weren’t slaves.”) PS: By current research they’re Southern European, but fuck let’s find out.

6. Fuck the idiot for coining the phrase “Defund the Police” which requires a five page essay explaining it doesn’t ACTUALLY mean defund the police

7. Fuck me for not offering ReCoPs (Reform Cops and Prisons) as an option fast enough.

8. Fuck me for thinking 7 is a good idea.

9. We still doing Covid?

10. I need to go camping for about 4 weeks after this shit is all over.

11. Oh and fuck the system for help Lori and Chad get to Lori and Chad levels.

I think that’s all.

I don't understand almost any of this but I especially don't understand the DNA test comment. What?

PS: Sorry Arch, that's really fucked up. Jfc.

You mean "abolish the police", which is really just "defund the police and use that money to have non cops doing the non violent work they do now".

I am seeing a lot of articles popping up of people wanting kids taught more history of pre-slave era black people, and they always mention Ancient Egypt. Egyptians (modern and ancient) aren’t considered black, but Mediterranean/southern European.

I have an interest in this since I am half Egyptian, and very likely a descendant of ancient Egyptians. So I am interested in taking a DNA test and put the question of my own race to rest.

[Ksandra]

Also yes, still my condolences in your friend, Archie. I remember when you first posted about it. Sucks so much.

Tbh, I haven’t seen “Abolish the Police” yet, but that is also dumb and would never happen. I have only seen arguments and memes n’ shit about Defund the Police. Ymmv


Don’t get me wrong, I am all for minimizing it as much as possible, but we still need something for legit violent offenders. And that needs a reboot, too. Hence why I mention Laurie and Chad. Google if ya need but Laurie’s two kids’ dead bodies were found two days ago, and that story has a crazy chain of killings connected to her and despite multiple people going to police about her, they didn’t do shit until it was too late. That shit is a deep rabbit hole of zombie Mormon craziness, so take care.

[BerenTebogo]

Ah yes, the "I have kids so the idea of not having the cops around to not protect them from actual danger is scary" take

Welcome back Ksan.

[BerenTebogo]

Eh. I read too quickly. I assume you have some horrible take somewhere but I guess that wasn't specifically it.

[Ksandra]

Welcome back Ksan.

Dude have you even read up on that shit? Our system fucking failed those kids so badly. Her oldest daughter’s father filed for custody multiple times because of her craziness and she was even reported as saying she’d kill her kid before giving her back to her father.


Then the father just so happened to “die” just as the courts were about to finally change the order.

I think you are missing something if your take is ksan wants cops cause they help protect kids.

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah I skimmed too quickly. Apologies.
