Black man slowly murdered in public by a cop who wouldn't remove his knee from the back of his neck. Entire thing caught on camera as the man said he couldn't breathe.
What did he do beforehand? Who gives a damn? He was in custody with cuffs on, there was no reason for this.

If what seems to be happening there did actually happen, the policeman was deliberately killing that man.
But the man under the policeman's knee was black.
So whatever happened, the policeman in question is unlikely to be charged with any offence, is he?

What sickens me is the callousness with which the officer chokes the poor victim, to death. The officer doesn't show any emotion whatsoever as if he is killing a fly. What a psychopath! We need to stand up to police violence like this that is all too common. It cannot be tolerated any longer. Hopefully, the feds will step in on this one and break the blue line nonsense the police claim.

This is definitely one for death penalty advocates.

But he was fearing for his life.

Here's another feather in your social injustice cap:

"Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash."
Do yourself a favor and watch the video. It's absolutely filthy behavior.

I agree that calling the police because a black guy asks you to observe the park regulations is filthy behavior.
Especially if you tell that police that 'An African-American man' is filming your regulation-breaking, as if that was relevant.

Must be a Trump supporter. In Trumpistan, it's offensive to record and repeat people's past behavior unless they're leftists. I mean, it's just rude to do that to people who believe it's their right to be assholes with impunity.

She's a damned idiot is what she is. I was disturbed by the way she was choking her own pet. She shouldn't be allowed to own an animal.

Interesting. That's what I get for assuming.
I wasn't really commenting on racism as much as the glorification of being an asshole these days, and the mystery it seems to be to certain Trumpian figures when they're called out on it. Maybe this woman thinks (assuming she actually is a liberal),
what's good for the goose... Look how ajax takes advantage of liberal policies. She does seem like a nasty wench.
Doesn't erase the point I was making about Trump supporters. They want to eat their cake and have it too, which is to say, they want to be able to behave like assholes and have everyone else just let it go, even though they never let any tiny little mistake go from anyone else, and are even quick to make crap up about their perceived enemies where no mistakes exist. That's the bulk of Trump's behavior, and it's rubbing off on his idiot fans.
You know... assholes. Sounds like this woman is an asshole.
