George Floyd Murder by Cop

[Cail]

A Minneapolis school asked people to donate food for students after looting closed stores. ‘Miles of cars’ lined up.

I was talking to Kanriel, sorry I was involved in more than one forum and they mixed. So a bunch of white dudes advocating for rioting to continue from the safety of their homes, cool. Maybe the rioters can come to your house next as you offer it up for the cause.

Does anyone have a scoreboard for cops vs rioters?

Who leads in murders?
Property damage
Maimings
Cuts and bruises caused.

Remember we have to start counting after the last time a cop murdered a black person. Everything else doesn't count.

I thought we needed to stop the violence though?!

Right, this fucking guy just destroyed every aspect of his fucking argument. I cannot believe it.

"Violence is not the answer." - Says guy saying violence is the answer.

We do, so they are there as a preventative measure. Any violence will be from rioters retaliating, which is a shame because it will most likely happen due to the failure of the leaders condemning this violence.

It's mostly being facetious, I rarely use insults but he kept posting them so why not.

Seem awfully concerned with the race of people who post things on this forum.

A Fort Lauderdale police officer suspended for shoving a protester had been reviewed for using force 79 times in his three-and-a-half-year career, according to police records obtained by Miami Herald and the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Those reviews reportedly include aiming his gun at suspects.

The officer, 29-year-old Steven Pohorence, drew his gun while on duty 45 times, or at least once a month, the Sun Sentinel reported. He was not disciplined for any of the actions reviewed, and the records do not show any violation of department rules.

Pohorence could be seen on video shoving a woman who knelt while protesting in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday. A police colleague, Krystle Smith, pulled Pohorence away from the crowd. Then, gesturing like an ejecting umpire, she directed him to continue walking away from the protesters.

“What Krystal Smith did, to me, is an example of what men and women should do when they wear that badge and they take that oath,” Fort Lauderdale Commissioner Robert McKinzie said in a city commission meeting on Tuesday.

Pohorence did not demonstrate that oath, McKinzie said: “I keep rewinding that tape …” and no other officers “reacted the way he reacted.”

Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Rick Maglione said the incident took place shortly after a police officer called for help when her car was surrounded. Pohorence has been relieved from duty, Maglione said.

Violence against the root issue is a no no.

Violence against the violence to the root issue is a go go.

I don't fucking understand how he can sit here and think he's not anything but a fucking idiot right now.

[kuronosan]

Because according to you that's the wrong way to have a conversation.

Like the rioters Monday at Lafayette Square? I saw a shit ton of rioting going on there as they gassed people. So much rioting it made my head spin.

You don't get it, dudes playing 15d Chess and talking circles around us.

I didn't advocate for violence, I said we need to restore order and the NG will most likely be the best choice if the protest leaders don't actively condemn the rioting. The police are overwhelmed and nobody seems to care about people like David dying, so we need to bring in something that works. BTW, these are all my opinions so stop acting like I have the power to change anything. Just like your opinions are your own. It's really hilarious the echo chamber sentiment in here, yall froth at the mouth to jump on someone and demean their intelligence to try and make their point seem insane.

[Tyche]

So why are you cherry picking incidents but completely ignoring David Dorn or the total death toll? Why does that work in your favor because its a cop?

You thinking the scales of accountability between protestors, looters, and rioters with roughshod organization, no standards to actively participate, and that has members actively fighting against their goal should equal out to the scales of police officers with literal years of training, background checks, and organized leadership is fucking nuts. Absolutely stupid. You deserve everything that everyone is dumping on you. One group should have higher standards. Comparing death counts is mindnumbingly dense.

I'm not saying Draylo does this in his free time. But Draylo probably does this in his free time.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s budget will be cut by up to $150 million to provide funding for programs in communities of color, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday.

After national unrest over the death of George Floyd and continued protests in Los Angeles, Garcetti said the city will make meaningful changes in policing and race relations, including a review of funding that goes to police.

“We will not be increasing our police budget. How can we at this moment?” Garcetti said at a press briefing.

Officials will review the police department’s budget to find up to $150 million in cuts, a small dent in the department’s $3.1 billion budget. There will also be cuts to other municipal departments, Garcetti said.

“We’ve made cuts because of covid-19, it’s time to also make cuts because racial justice is something worth fighting for and something worth sacrificing for,” he added.

The Los Angeles Police Commission will also recommend a new policy requiring police to step in when they see other officers using unnecessary force, and backed hiring an independent prosecutor to prosecute officers who engage in misconduct, commission president Eileen Decker said at the briefing.

The announcement comes after Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez and other council members introduced a motion earlier Wednesday to make the same amount of proposed cuts to the police department.

“This is just one small step,” Martinez tweeted. “We cannot talk about change, we have to be about change.”

Garcetti also announced he would lift the city’s curfew Thursday, as long as there’s no violence Wednesday night.

I didn't advocate for violence

Another way is to bring in the national guard and squash them
