My wife insists on watching FOX News to see the difference and she is stunned that Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson are blaming "Leftist" legislators in Minnesota for the brutality by a police officer who is more than likely a huge Trump fan.

After all, Trump is the guy who spoke to a crowd of policemen telling them not to be too nice to suspects in custody. He's the guy who hired Bill Barr, the sycophantic criminal working as AG, who told people they better respect policemen or else they won't get their protection.

Kneeling on the man's neck was not to restrain. It was to punish. True, the officers did not get up that morning with the intention of killing a man. But when a human being tells you "I can't breathe", and that human being is handcuffed on the ground, and you are an armed police officer in the company of 3 other armed police officers, and you do not get off the man's neck for nearly 10 minutes, do you need to know the man's underlying medical history before you remove your knee from his neck? What's you defense? "Your honor, if I had known he had a heart condition I would have knelt on his neck for 5 minutes, not 10?
It was to subjugate. These cops are on power trips. Its why they became cops.

Here's the criminal complaint filed against Chauvin. Scroll down to see the document. Of note: 8:25:31 and the last para of the document.

Even Mark Levin admitted unless something else comes out this case is indefensible for the officers. I'm sure 99% of law enforcement officers are livid about this. And I'll point out that we didn't know until after St. Louis was burnt, looted, and thoroughlly trashed by BLM vigilante liberals that "Hands up don't shoot." was a lie.

If your conversation about race is to come down south to loot and burn our cities and blame Trump for this, there's really no excuse for that either. And the best I could do is build a wall to keep this toxic and violent liberalism out of my home and my country.

There's really no excuse for the vigilante justice the left practices in these situations. Law and order should have prevailed. But it really hasn't since Rodney King.

That's right! I've taken my portion of it back with DJT's help. Keep the fruits of your leftist policies in your blue states where they belong.

Go ahead and keep fanning the flames. BLM can burn your house down for all I care.

I just want it on record that Ajax wants to dissolve the union. If anyone has any doubt who the traitor is, it's him and people like him.

Does Kentucky qualify as "down south"?

I think you have a chronic case of learned helplessness, ajax. You blame positively everyone else for whatever problems you think you have and don't seem remotely willing to self admit that you play a part in the creation of those problems or the part you play in resolving them,

The difference between him and people like myself is that I wouldn’t wish his housed burned down. I believe he’s entitled to a safe and secure existence, protected by men and women who uphold their oaths, wherever they’re made. Frankly, his comments reflect a complete and utter detachment from reality. He has exactly zero ideas what a civil war would entail for him and his progeny in this day and age. He lives in a fantasy world where any sort of ethnostate would emerge, and furthermore if he thinks his economic prospects are burdensome now, just wait until he and his ilk pull a Red Nexit and have to figure out a living in his holler that includes healthcare, security, trade, education, a judiciary, and whatnot. But, hey. Maybe Rhodesia isn’t a dream. The Upper North Central South will rise again!
