Minneapolis police in the news again
zxcvbob:
for murdering a black man during an arrest. I'm sure you've heard about it. I just watched the video. I don't think race had much to do with it. I assume the victim, George Floyd, was resisting arrest and generally being a dick before the video starts. But he was not resisting (and was reportedly handcuffed) for the 4 minutes the cop calmly kneeled on his neck to make sure he was good and dead.
The FBI is investigating; the State of Minnesota should bow out and let them have the first bite of this one -- the feds have the death penalty and MN doesn't. And that's exactly what the state prosecutor should say in the press release.

I think they already fired four cops.

Yes. That's a lot faster than normal. But without a criminal prosecution, they'll just end up hired by another smaller police dept or SO. Or Minneapolis possibly forced by the union to rehire them with back-pay.

90% of the MSM/dems and all of the race baiters are going to spend the next 6 months or more reminding you of the "fact" that race was/is the only issue.
Surprised I haven't seen something blaming Orange Man yet but I'm fairly certain somewhere someone is working on it.
I will say this, it doesn't look good for the cops involved I just wish the knee jerk "it's race!" reaction wasn't so automatic.

Wel, if you look at it from the perspective of the majority of the police it is a "race" issue. The police race and the subject race.
