Just wow
Wow indeed. Right wing group with left wing name tries slurring family of someone who is critical of the Government. Shock, horror. My ghast is flabbered.
Just wow
Honestly, I don't think there's value in looking for equivalence, especially trying to compare brutal murders and the reasons behind them. There's something going on out here that is going to be hard to unwind, good or bad. We either end up with some reform or a police state, there isn't a way back to 'normal' at this point.
sorry wasn’t meaning to play it down. Just baffling that the focus has been on the message or the slogans
Didn't think you did, it was more a comment on the 'well what about when x happens' equivalence folk seem to be looking for. I thought your football disaster thought was pretty much bang on the money.
A related euphemism might be... I broke a bone in my foot, now, I know that I'm pretty screwed with that one part of me broke, but I don't need my whole body fixing, just the one bone, as its as important as all the others, sure, but it's broken, once its fixed though, all of them are good again
Is it something like 10 in 100 get charged and 1 of those 10 get a conviction?
Neither one of the four could be deemed ( in anyones wildest dreams ) as " professionals".........
It's unlikely they didn't cross paths if the did work in the same club, although, there are some scenarios they might not, for example, 2 different types of 'security' - one is a doorman, the other is the guy who's job it is to move cash around the place (a job very likely to be done by a rent a cop), secondly said cop might just have ignored everyone he didn't want to interact.
Not a justification, just an observation.
Just wow
My lunatic rellie is posting on facebook that, not only is Bill Gates behind the coronavirus... but now, mysterious piles of bricks have been appearing near US BLM protestors... and guess what... the bricks are made by a company owned by the said Mr. Gates. Apparently, it's "obvious" he's involved in stoking up the riots... and clearly she's got a lot of people enthusiastically agreeing. Wonder what wahwahwah makes of this one!.
You have to hand it to Bill Gates, retires from building one of the largest tech companies the world has ever seen to spend his time pretending to fund foundations to look for cures for disease, all the while being a master criminal planning to microchip people and track them with 5g.
apparently it is the nerds we need to watch out for after all.
Einstein didn't know about Bill Gates and his arsenal of bricks.

I couldn't say about numbers. It's just a feeling that in such cases I have more often than not seen an acquittal even when there appeared to be compelling evidence. You might say but there's video. Yes there is but all the way back to Rodney King there was video and still they walked.
Also keep in mind that second degree murder in Minnesota requires proof of 'Killing a human intentionally'. Lawyers are good at obfuscation, it's their job. And as has been discussed on here it's impossible to prove he was killed because he was black unless the killer admitted it which again as mentioned will not happen.
So how do you prove beyond reasonable doubt an intention to kill?
Third degree would likely be easier to prove. It requires proof of 'extreme indifference to the value of human life'. Which given the amount of time he kept his knee on the mans neck following him saying over a dozen time "I can't breathe" and still kept the knee there even after he appeared to be unconscious should be a lot easier to attain.
But as I said, you remember Rodney King? Not killed but severly beaten on camera. Cops charged but acquitted of this.

Eric Garner also.
Get away [garbled] for what? Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today
And all he 2as doing was trying to give the police their helmet back
YouTube video of the incident in which it's somewhat easier to see how unnecessary this push was and how he is immediately bleeding from the ear according to a bystander. I just don't get it. A 'peace' officer aggressively pushes a geriatric for no discernible reason?
No comprehension that they're easily knocked over and far more fragile than the young? Unbelievable.
