The Killing of Floyd
So, the policeman who Killed Floyd by pressing his
knee on his neck, the sentence was murder, but was it?
The police officer accidentally killed Floyd as he was trained to do.
The why police are learning their dubious craft has to come
into focus, the whole police department has to be scrutinized,
and the new “servants” of the people must be accentuated.
To concentrate on one man who is insensitive and stupid does
Not solve the problem of the American police.
First of all, the poorly trained officer must understand a gun
It is not for shooting people who are fleeing, but the weapon is a defence
Only used when attacked directly.
I cannot understand why a single police officer has to bear
The burden of guilt that is pervasive in the American society
is by its nature, overly fascistic and too dependent on the GUN.
The victory (political) can be a pyrrhic one if some people can disregard
Law and order.

i believe this incident is the result of a loooooooooooooong buried fear of peoples who are not of a white race.
Yes, i see and read Your feel but having lived in this country for ex number of years,
and having close friends of color and having seen and experienced the inferred racism for many years.........
i KNOW this is more about how the " Good Ole Boys " than just one officer or police in general.
There are many GOOD police in every dept., across our country but the media only focus on what YOU dumbfucks prefer to see (Yes, YOU, You who live in other countries!!) and so........Our internal healing and learning and growing will be mirrored and monitored and poked under other countries' microscope. But Hey, our country has led the way to democracy for many an indigent peoples and while we are not perfect, we CONTINUE TO TRY.

Forget (for now) that George Floyd was African American, a criminal, and high on drugs.
Instead put on him the likeness of your brother or even of yourself
Forget (for now) that Derek Chauvin was a white man with faulty training (as you say)
What we have are two human beings one alleged to have broken the law the other trained to protect and serve
Circumstances could alter this perfect example
1) system racism from both sides stereotyping each other seeing with the eyes of hatred and contempt
One looking to escape the other out to kill
2) a man trained to protect and serve his ego not the people
The other man doing whatever it takes to acquire a means to an end ( a meal, or drugs)
3) media, independent, mass media or a bystander with a cell phone tap into the frenzy expecting their 15 minutes of fame
A reason is an explanation for something done right
An excuse is an apology for something done wrong
No reason accepted and no excuse for this heinous crime
What we have is an egocentric police officer negligent in his duties acting on his own
Derek Chauvin was following the drums that beat in his heart for the murder of another human being
Caught On Camera
