cheesepipes 3,457 Posted April 8 Rumours are the pregnant lady hit him up with the classic "oooh is that a gun you're sticking into my fetuses forehead or are you just happy to see me" She ended up disappointed. Share this post Link to post

Why does this, and other police killings, in the US bother you so much? Things like this - https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/15/south-africa-police-kill-bystander-protest pass with hardly a mention in this country and yet we get mass protests and "taking the knee" about Floyd. Given I've not attended a protest nor taken the knee about either of these issues, I can't answer for those that have. The media the majority of us consume is very focussed on the USA. Our TV/music/movies/etc is heavily dominated by that which originated in the USA. Our news outlets therefore report on it more. Most of us are therefore more conscious of it and it's going to draw greater reactions. Why do you think it is? 1 Share this post Link to post

I'll be honest I don't give much of a fuck about any of it, the world is a fucking horrible, brutal place and the Yanks are more than capable of sorting it themselves. It does annoy me as much. However, whether or not we like it, what happens in America tended to take precedent over everything else, with it being one of the most famous and powerful countries on earth. All police brutality is awful, mainly because that's the point of the police at large, to brutalise citizens, but you ultimately can't focus on every single incident across the world because it would muddle everything IMO. I think George Floyd was just the straw that broke the camels back, there are various incidents of a similar nature worldwide. Share this post Link to post

The point is he was murdered in the street when he didn't have to be. Share this post Link to post

The problem that comes with that is if you start killing people found guilty of these awful crimes, there's always the possibility you kill an innocent man, as often happens in America and has happened before. Say the judge and jury are right 99/100 times, that still means every 1 in 100 men are being sent to death for a crime they didn't commit. Sets a dangerous precedent. Share this post Link to post

Because they don't care about the criminal at deaths door who died, they see it as a chance to jump on the back lives matter woke campaign, it's pathetic. Funny thing is George Floyd would have murdered and raped both parkie and consie if he met them alone on a dark street at night, he was a threat to society and dangerous like harvey price.

Because that is all that is relevant. If he released the grip the guy could have killed them all, he was out of his nut on drugs. The policeman was right to wait for back up. I think some of you must live a different World to me, I see a dangerous out of control criminal being restrained, if he'd been a decent human being he wouldn't have gone through his life raping looting and being violent, should never have been on the streets. 1 Share this post Link to post

daytripping 929 Posted April 8 When Steve Irwin (RIP) used to jump on a Crocodile and pin it by the neck it would lash out and fight for a while then go still, what do you think would have happened if he'd decided that was game over, the crocodile was now going to come peacefully with him. What would have happened if he released his grip and stood up? would the croc have followed him peacefully to his truck? It would have turned round and gobbled him up ffs!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post
