Most people have underestimated the lengths the media would go to in an effort to separate this president from his base.
Most impressive, though, is how so many other countries joined in and duped their citizens into wearing masks and even dying by the thousands in such a concerted effort to get Trump.

ldsfaqs I read Floyd physically refused to get in the squad car by dropping his legs out from under him, hence the struggle that ensued.
You read? You read when the entire series of events from beginning to end are available online in raw footage?

He was IN the squad car when they were struggling with him INSIDE the car, when they pulled him out onto the ground.

Stop reading and watch the videos that are available.

Thus, clearly the ONLY people who have "privilege" in this country are blacks, ...
I’m not surprised that a person that rationalizes having smacked his wife around and then bragging about it publicly would also end up mentally crippled enough to make the statement above.

Our tennis club was outdoors. Now it's bankrupt. Are they still arresting people for golfing? My kids park and swimming pool was cordoned off. They weren't even allowed to play with their friends outside.
Good news, ajax. The tennis club’s building was purchased by a plastic drinking straw manufacturer. Tender mercies.

The Leftist agenda is the SAME in all the Western world... It's not "just" about Trump, and he didn't say it was.

Did you actually see that video?
Cause the only video I've seen out there is video of him:
- being taken out of his car and the cuffs put on, and him then sat on the ground against a building. He was then taken across the street by the same arresting cop, the black one, to the other police car. The video then ends.
- then there is another video which blurred shows all 4 cops on top of Floyd.
- then there is the very first video which showed the cop on Floyds neck and the asian cop arguing with people.

So, you're saying ther IS another video which shows him being taken out of the police car and put on the ground and they are on him?

Okay, then that would likely explain ajax's response. I haven't seen it either, and all I do is watch current events, commentary and political videos for hours a day. Though, been a bit distracted with the Riots, so most videos atm are on those, so maybe few have it atm, only mainstream news does? I don't have TV atm... Oh wait, I should get a TV card for my computer... Thanks for reminding me.

Don’t lie, faqs. It’s always about Trump. Never has any man been so aggrieved. Oh, the horror he has endured throughout his life.

One thing that I’d like to know is how George Floyd coordinated his death in such a timely way with the hordes of professional, paid protesters. Can you look into that, faqs?

Back to the personal attack playbook for the ten trillionth time I'm not sure who you think you're influencing with this but it's nobody here right of center. We've heard it enough and it says more about who you are than it ever did about ldsfaqs.

Did I actually see the video? No, I'm talking out my ass. :rolleyes: Of course I saw video of it. Ya want me to go scoop up a link for you? It's really difficult right now because when I search youtube on the case, I'm getting tons of videos with various commentary instead of the raw footage.

I'll dig one out for you if you like. It could take a while to locate what I'm talking about but I'm willing.

The raw video footage shows them approach his vehicle, another cop car comes for back up, they take him out of his own vehicle...put him on the wall (where you noticed and said he's got something going on with the cuffs) and then they walk him across the street where at least one other cop car is, they get him in the cop vehicle on the right side, then yank him out the left side. Then restrain him, he becomes unresponsive, EMT arrives has him on the gurney....there's also one video version I saw (today?) where they've included the EMT transmissions...he was apparently in cardiac arrest IN the ambulance.

Ya want a link to a video?

Oh and faqs, I'm pretty darn sure that the videos are patched together from different cameras. That might be why you didn't see the portion that I did. I probably just found a video where it's all sort of spliced together.
