    I'd be really interested to see what the police handbook says about this.

    Well, at least murdering cop is going down for murder.

    Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts.

    Pretty obvious it was the correct decision. How do you keep your knee on someone 9 and 1/2 minutes even when the guy says he can't breathe and a by standing paramedic tells you to let him up. It is hard not to say it wasn't racially motivated when if that was a white female he had down I can't believe he would have done that.
    That is also like saying people so violently against immigrants saying it isn't racially motivated. If it was beautiful white swedish women sneaking in the border I can't believe these red necks would be in such hatred for them.

    Oh yeah. I remember when I was 17 or so, a friend and I got into it with some other kids at a gas station- just shit talking, no punches thrown, just some f yous and whatnot. Cops come break it up, get a little aggressive and my buddy talks some shit to them ‘f-ing pigs, crooked cops’ whatever, as we’re walking away. We get about a block away and about 5 or 6 cops rush at us, one of them grabs my buddy, lifts him off of his feet and throws him in to the side of a 7-11 face first. I protest to be asked if I want to walk away or get punched in the face (only two options I was given) by one of the others. The cops charged him with “assaulting a peace
    Mother********ers.

    There should be a new punishment for bad cops. No trials just dragged to the nearest brick wall and used as target practice for the rest of the force.

    Serious question why do we put up with such an utter bullshit system? Rising cost of living,stagnant wages, putting 22 year Olds in 100k debt before even working, and a handful of out of touch/corrupt politicians who don't give a ********?

    Yes, and that has been "bipartisan" since 1980.

    Am I crazy? Or is a system that demands constant profit, with limited resources, increasing population, increasing cost of living, stagnant wages, and increasing co2 production with the ever expanding population just completely unsustainable? All while the people supposed to be in charge of keeping us safe have cut the breaklines while we speed towards the cliff edge? Anyone else feeling a little more anxious than normal the last year or two? I could really use a drink. But, alas gotta work midnight shift tonight for some health insurance they don't pay me enough to use. But, it's all gonna work out somehow right? How hard would it be to get a visa to open an Italian beef place literally anywhere else?

    What the ******** is wrong with people. Everybody is terrified of something and now you have a free preventative measure and nobody will take them up on the offer?

    Does anyone else find it kinda scary how in lots of places you're expected to unquestionably stand up and applaud the military and veterans? I find it awfully awkward. Not sure this belongs here but isn't that how the nazis did things? Made it seem glamorous and heroify the military to a point you can't question it's intentions?

    “Jingoism”, it’s horrific, like the soldiers that intentionally shoot civilians and children.

    Yes, I agree.

    I am also opposed to playing the national anthem at the beginning of sporting events.
    Playing "god bless america" at baseball games is awful, as well.

    Yes, but it was created by the backlash resulting from the shameful treatment conscripted vets received coming back from Vietnam.

    Dressing players up in camo to “salute” to soldiers/service/etc is gross as well. Baseball just did that this week and I believe football has a full month where players can wear camo-accessories if they’d like. And none of the “keep politics and sports separate” clowns that whine whenever a league, owner, or athlete has a political opinion that differs from theirs has a problem with it, in fact, most embrace it.

    “In 2006, an FBI memo warned law enforcement and the military that they were the targets of an active campaign by white supremacists and extremists trying to infiltrate their ranks. The FBI dubbed such infiltrators ‘ghost skins,’ for maintaining normal exteriors to blend in and hide their true aims.”

    “The result is that well over a decade after the FBI first issued its warning, we do not know how many white supremacists have infiltrated law enforcement. What we do know is that American police departments remain an attractive option for white supremacists seeking work.”
