    I couldn’t watch the whole thing…30 seconds of the beating was enough for me, I don’t think I could’ve stomached listening to him crying out for his mom

    antifa likes to burn down cities all over the country whenever there is an incident like this, and the FBI has done nothing to stop it

    point is, five guys can physically restrain a guy and beat him to death whether they are cops or not (them being cops did make it easier to restrain him initially)

    and them being cops did not not help them avoid a murder charge, same as if they were civilians

    A man was brutally beaten to death by a bunch of bullies supposed to serve and protect and this is what we're arguing in here?

    Antifa has no real history of being able to do that. You are crediting Antifa with more ability and power than they have ever possessed.

    The FBI isn't able to curtail all the right wing threats which are accurately ranked as the greater threat.

    Do you think we should hold the people we hire and arm to serve and protect us to a higher standard? Do you think said people egregiously abusing their power is an issue to which we should pay extra attention?

    interesting difference

    [​IMG]

    Shortly after midnight on May 10, 2019, State Trooper Dakota DeMoss attempted to pull over Ronald Greene, a 49-year-old African-American barber, for an unspecified traffic violation near Monroe, Louisiana. Greene did not stop, and troopers chased him on rural highways at over 115 mph (185 km/h). During the chase, DeMoss radioed that "We got to do something. He's going to kill somebody."

    When Greene finally did stop, DeMoss and Master Trooper Chris Hollingsworth rushed to Greene's vehicle as Greene said repeatedly, "OK, OK. I'm sorry" and appeared to raise his hands. Within seconds, Hollingsworth shot Greene with a stun gun through the driver's window while commanding Greene to get out of the car.

    After Greene, who was unarmed, got out through the car's passenger side, one trooper wrestled him to the ground, put him in a chokehold, and punched him in the face. Hollingsworth struck Greene multiple times. While they tried to handcuff Greene, one of the troopers said "He's grabbing me", and another said "Put your hands behind your back, b****."Greene cried "I'm sorry!" and "I'm your brother! I'm scared!" Another trooper stunned Greene a second time,and said he would shoot again "if you don't put your ****ing hands behind your back".

    After handcuffing Greene and shackling his legs, Trooper Kory York briefly dragged Greene facedown along the ground. Before York dragged Greene, Greene had tried to prop himself up on his side, leading York to shout at Greene: "Don't you turn over! Lay on your belly!" After dragging Greene, York told him: "You better lay on your ****ing belly like I told you to! You understand?"

    Instead of rendering aid, the troopers left Greene unattended, facedown and moaning, for at least nine minutes while they cleaned blood off themselves with sanitizer wipes. One trooper said, "I hope this guy ain't got ****ing AIDS."Another trooper referred to Greene as a "stupid mother****er".

    At some point during the arrest, the troopers said that they did not want to have Greene sit up because they feared he would spit blood on them, to which Lieutenant John Clary told them not to sit Greene up. At another point, according to an investigator's report filed around early April 2021, "Greene's eyes are squeezed shut as he shakes his head back and forth moaning in pain, movements consistent with having been sprayed in the face with (pepper) spray", and about this time an officer "asked Greene if he has his attention now" and another said, "Yeah, that **** hurts, doesn’t it?"

    After several minutes, Greene, unresponsive and bleeding from the head, was put in an ambulance, handcuffed to the stretcher.
    He was dead on arrival at the hospital.

    I think it's important to note that justice worked here because they all had body cams which means the evidence will speak for itself and they'll all go to prison. The doj was ready to charge and arrest Derek chav if the jury had found him innocent in Minnesota. They'll do the same here and all 4 will to go jail.

    Instead of arguing with each other I think we can all agree that every cop should have a body cam while they're on duty. This isn't a partisan issue and Is something we can all agree on as Americans.

    says a lot about police culture and the rampant demons they have on the force that body cams could be on and they’d still do what they did to this man

    Chauvin was pretty much posing for the cameras as he laid on Floyd’s neck in broad daylight in front on numerous onlookers

    they hire and turn people into morally bankrupt sociopaths that they then unleash onto the community

    I'm with you. At this point, what are the arguments against this?

    What does holding them to a higher standard look like, beyond charging them with murder?

    The officers who stood and watched need to serve jail time too. No suspended sentences or anything like that. They need to experience years in a cell.

    I'm glad there seems to be some accountability here. It's seldom the case.
