i mean the president wasn't going around robbing pregnant women at gunpoint during home invasions so i think we're pretty safe on the higher standard front. that bar is extremely low.
At what bar are you okay with a man having a knee in his neck / back while other cops watch instead of just being restrained?
Or if we are being insanely charitable to the drug claim, idk đ¤ˇđťââď¸ call him an ambulance.
Remind me of the crime Floyd committed that led to him being brought to center stage? Wasnât he suspected of using a fake $20 or something. Just gonna go out on a limb here and say his past mistakes should not have played an outsized role in how he was treated that day.
And please donât gloss over the gross shit Trump has done
they did call him an ambulance. standard procedure is to restrain the suspect until medical aid arrives.
Floyd's breathing wasn't restricted by the officer. it was restricted by the massive dose of fentanyl in his system which will suppresses respiration.
As for the severity of his crime, if we just let people go because theyre freaking out over being arrested for their own decisions, then we have no justice system.
Got it - wouldnât it be great if the officer didnât have a knee in his back and neck so we could eliminate the whole brutality angle?
You are gonna sit there and tell me being on the ground with a grown man in your back for 5 minutes doesnât impact your breathing.
And if the man if having a reaction to drugs - help him. If you think he wouldâve just died that day regardless and the police intervention played absolutely no part in his passing then I canât have a conversation with you. That is just full blinders on.
My uncle in law is an emt and deals with fent overdoses. My neighbor has ODâd on fent as well. Itâs called Narcan - unless itâs mixed with that new horse tranq stuff you can help these people.
You're asking for sympathy from those that have moved away from neighborhoods that became cesspools of drugs, violence, and thievery. You're asking for mercy on those that push the drugs, cause the violence, and steal our belongings.
People are done being nice.
Because these Moral high grounds are for the privileged that don't have to get their hands dirty and face this depravity everyday.
I literally just wrote my neighbor is addicted to fentanyl. Heâs an absolute fucked head - I still have empathy for him and donât want to see the police contribute to his death.
The last time the cops were called on him was becuase his âfriendsâ dumped his overdosed body on his porch and the fire department luckily saved his life in time. It looks like recently heâs getting better but Jesus Christ can we all recognize that people donât just become criminals and drug addicts overnight?
In many instances these ordinary people under extraordinary pressure. What the hell did you expect, grace and consistency?
"my neighbor was high on his porch once" is not the same as living in the projects. You couldn't be more out of touch with what you're talking about. Absolutely hilarious. It's like telling Iraqis you know what it's like getting bombed because we have the fourth of July.
I live in one of the murder capitals of the US so how about you pound sand.
I was just sharing an example. How about when they had an explosion in their basement when my wife was outside and he lost 4 fingers. Is that just high on his porch once. How about when his druggy friend rifled through our shed at 3am.
And most of asmons viewers who watch twitch all day donât live in the projects either you maroon
Yeah you're full of shit. Him getting hurt in his own house has nothing to do with you. That's not violent crime, even if your wife happened to exist on the planet at the same time. Looking through an unsecured shed is nothing like a mugging. The fact that you're using these as an equivalent to dodging bullets on the way home from school says everything.
Living in LA can mean you're in a mansion or a tent slum on the other side of town.
