RIP: George Floyd

[nickylanena]

I think the police who killed him are not being charged with anything.  Hopefully that will change.  Im confused by the officer who had his knee on him.  Did he learn that was ok to do. Do they learn that in cop school. Horrible

Why do you think that?  They all have been fired. And it has been on the news that charges ARE pending.  They have to be careful how they bring the charges. Has nothing to do with them being cops. It is like a few years ago a local guy was charged with 1st degree murder as well as 2nd degree murder, and it was for killing ONE person.  That did not make sense.  It was explained to me that this way - they want a 1st degree murder charge but did not think they could make that stick. If it does not he walks free.  They can't come back and charge him with a different crime because they did not like the outcome of the first trial.  So this way one of the charges stick.

Saying "do they learn that in cop school" is disrespectful and makes you just as bad as the ones looting and rioting and even the cop who killed him. Just one more thing to make people fight and further divide the people.   No he did not have to do what he done.  And I honestly do not think he meant to kill him which is why 1st degree murder won't be a charge.  The most will be man slaughter. It was not intentional. He did not set out to KILL him. At the same time there had multiple complaints about him and nothing was ever done. And he needs to go to jail.  Anybody else who done the same thing would.

How do you know what his intentions were? The officer had his knee on George Floyd's neck for about 8 minutes even when he stopped moving and you don't think he meant to kill him? The only thing I agree is that he needs to go to jail.

No I actually don't. I think he was just being a bully and exerting force. He would not have purposely murdered him, with multiple people filming, right there in the middle of a huge crowd. I did not say he did not need to be punished. I said I do not think his intentions were murder.  Sources have said there have been several other incidents where he had complaints for using excessive force.  I know a local cop who is a lot like this guy. When he puts the uniform on he is a god and you will bow to him.  I think things just went too far but he did not set out to kill him.  Thus why he is not charged with 1st degree murder.

Unfortunately, we do not know his intentions. Maybe that is a possibility but going that far was way too much. Police are trained and I feel like anyone who is applying that kind of force does so with a level of intent. I think the officer deserves a 2nd degree murder charge, but he has now been charged with 3rd degree murder.

He does deserve to be charged and he needs to go to jail. I am just saying I do not think he intended to murder him. Maybe he did. But why would he do that in front of a huge crowd of people when several were standing there videoing him? I do think he meant to use force which he had done before. I just do not think he set out to actually kill him.

I think you answered that yourself - when some cops put on their uniform they expect to be treated like God. I'm sure many cops think/know they can get away with murder - even on camera - seeing as it's happened many times.

This is hilarious. Do you have a split personality disorder? It is like talking to 2 different people. smh The other convo you are all mouthy and wanting to argue instead of just having a conversation. lol

I actually know someone local who is or was like that.  I do not know that he was ever violent with anyone.  I have heard stories about how people got smacked around.  You won't believe it because it was a WHITE man who got beat up. But when he put his uniform on he was like a god (in his own mind) and you DID respect him.  Well respect is earned not just given.

Nope, no split personality disorder here. You just never accept what users say when it doesn't align with you and take that as an argument brewing; it is quite infantile.

I don't care what race he was so don't act like you know what I will believe. I already address that many cops think they can get away with things because they get treated like gods. Go back and reread this thread because now you're going in circles repeating yourself.

lol I could not  care less what other members say. You do the same thing you accuse me of. 

You never care what other members say but you always get offended. Sure. 

[countrygirl12]

It was a devastating video to see. I kept wondering what crime he had committed and I saw that he used a counterfeit bill to buy cigarettes. The use of force was excessive and these particular cops had previously used undue force and should have been severely disciplined. And in this case, the charge should at least be manslaughter because he kept his knee on Mr. Lloyd's neck (not appropriate at all) and did not remove it until his body was limp and lifeless and was lifted onto a stretcher. It's a shame that these things happen and that all police are all lumped into the same basket of deplorable people that should be dishonored and not respected.

I also hate that the disagreement causes dissension within our ranks; our Fusion Cash group. I like intelligent discourse and even disagreement with argument, but I don't like people attacking each other's opinions. I wish we would agree to disagree and promote our arguments with intelligent back and forth discussion. None of these racial incidents are easy to dissect and understand. Perhaps we should think about praying for the situation.  A lot of people were hurt and will be affected for a very long time.

There are lots of intelligent and caring people within our ranks. Let's just kiss and make up. Okay? 

There was more to it.  HE did use a counterfeit $20 and it sounds like he knew it was fake.  He was confronted outside and asked to give the cigarettes back and he laughed at them and refused. So the girl called the law.  He was also drunk.  So put it all together and it makes for an even worse situation.  In the beginning he did fight and refuse to cooperate with the police.  Again another coal on the fire. 

I agree with you about getting along but that does not happen.  It is what it is.  I will say this, while the country seems to be falling apart it seems like the small town I live in is coming together.  Blacks and whites (and it is so sad that skin color has to be mentioned) being nice to each other and showing that we are not a part of the ignorance that plagues the country.

And anyone who thinks the riots are a good thing are part of the problem.  "I" did not do this, nor did I have anything to do with it.  SO burning down MY home makes it a personal attack against me.  Have you not even seen the videos of black people being interviewed crying because their neighborhood was burned down or their business.  There is an older woman and her talking is heart breaking.  They burned down all the businesses around her. She is old and walks.  She said she has no where to shop now.  She watched out her apartment complex and was scared because she thought they would set where she lived on fire.  But they turned and went the other way.

[countrygirl12]

Wrong is wrong - regardless of what color your skin is. Minnesota cops were wrong and should be punished. Those people looting and vandalizing establishments of other innocents are wrong and should be punished.


I'll say it again. Wrong is wrong - regardless of what color your skin is, or what color skin the victim(s) of your wrong actions is.

The cop has been arrested and has been charged.  For them it is not enough.  Oh he needs to be charged with 1st degree murder.  Are people that stupid? Obviously.  They cannot make a 1st degree murder charge stick.  He did not go out and seek this man and plan to kill him.  They charge him with what it is.  Whether you like it or not manslaughter is about all they are going to be able to get him for.  And if it actually goes to trial it will be hard to get a jury because either people have already formed an opinion or people would fear for their life as far as being on the jury.  Remember the witness in the case where that female cop went to jail for killing a man in his own apartment?  He ended up dead a couple weeks later.

Honestly I don't think it will ever go to trial.  He will either make a plea deal or he will kill himself.  I could see that happening.  Unless they have some hard core evidence that nobody knows about.  Either way the violence is not going to stop.  The country we knew is gone.

lol What ever.  I am not offended.  To be offended I would have to actually care what you think.  I do not know you.  You mean nothing to me.  So nope you can't offend me.  But if you are gonna play the "i know you are but what am I" game then you must be offended by me because you can't let it go either. lololol

[nickylanena]

I'm sick and tired of hearing about these racist cops killing african american men for no reason. This world will never change but at the end of the day, they will have to answer to God.
I feel so bad for his family and I pray they heal and make it through this.. R.I.P. George Floyd

So it doesn't matter when a cop kills a white man?  Not sure why everything has to be made in to a race thing.  There was another story just a couple days ago and had a picture showing a BLACK COP choking a BLACK MAN he was arresting.  That did not make big headlines because you can't make it in to a race. thing.

OR when a BLACK COP kills a WHITE MAN!!!  Happens a lot.  You just never hear about it.  It doesn't fit the agenda. You are right about people being racist. But it goes in every direction. And everything from skin color, to religious beliefs, to physical disabilities, and anything else that people can hate somebody else for.

"made into a race thing"?? George Floyd was a black man - that is a purely fact. Did the "BLACK COP choking a BLACK MAN he was arresting" kill said man in that story? If he did, that is one of the purposes of the protests - as Mizzkizz7 said, people are tired of seeing black men get killed. And, out of curiosity, where do you see the black cops constantly killing white men since you claim it happens a lot? By no means is anyone sticking up for senseless death that could be avoided.

LOL  So we can see you are blinded by the media.  Google it.  There was a BLACK COP shot an unarmed WHITE MAN 2 counties over from me just a few years ago. No media coverage. Nothing was said. You can find the stats if you want to look for them.  White men get shot by cops too.  But you see what you want to.  If you think the violence that is erupting all over the country is okay then you are part of the problem.  Don't be crying when your family gets caught in the cross fire.  You are wanting to fight with me and you do not even know me.  Actually, no where EVER in any of my comments have I EVER mentioned what color my skin is.  If you bother to look there are black men and women all over twitter saying how the burning things down, rioting, and looting are wrong.  It needs to stop.  If you look at the numbers there are more white men/women shot by cops that black.  But black is what gets the attention. It is what gets the people riled up and fighting.  This has got to stop.  Our country is gone.  It isn't coming back.  What we knew just a few months ago we will never know again.  Hate is what is going to take our country down.  People are so blind by hate they do not even listen to what the other person says before they start attacking, screaming, and fighting with them. Oh that and just plain hate because of the color of their skin.  And THAT goes in every direction as well.
God help us!

LOL! So you come up with one single case to compare to many cases of cops killing unarmed black people. And a something that allegedly few years ago at that. You can find the lists of the other victims, too. No one is saying white men are not getting shot by cops.

I haven't yet mentioned the violence in the country so don't jump the gun. And don't cry when your family gets caught up in the crossfire. Once again, you think someone is fighting with you because they don't fully agree with you. Also, stop reaching. I never brought up your race or mentioned/implied your skin color... So stop whining.

"If you look at the numbers there are more white men/women shot by cops that black" - Stop making up lies. If you're gonna make the claim, share the facts. If you have a problem with the lack of white victims being depicted and fought for, DO something about it. SAY something about. Stories about black victims have been pushed because people are fed up and force it to be seen. Nobody would do anything otherwise.

It is not a single cases. There are THOUSANDS of cases. I gave an example of a SINGLE CASE that I personally know about. If you say I can't use this example from a few years ago then you can't use the "oh white cops shoot black people" from years ago.

I am not reaching or jumping the gun.  It is sad people are too stupid to realize a conversation can't include something besides what you just said. Funny how you just repeat everything back to me I said to you then say I am whining. lol

You are not worth my time. Not going to sit and argue with you.  People like you already have your mind made up and you have no more facts than any one else.  As far as numbers - I told you how to find it.  Google it.  Not going to do it for you.  SO just continue to sit there in your hate filled world.  It must be a sad place to live.

But just a little FYI I am sure the families of WHITE men and HISPANIC men and every other race are just as tired of police brutality.  But keep thinking you are being victimized if it makes you feel better.

That is my point, too - it's about THOUSANDS OF CASES unlike your singular, "personally" relevant case that conveniently only you can confirm. Yes, I can use that example because there are many articles and sources to back up the claims.

Now you are bringing up my initial argument from a previous post (about repeating). Yet again... I guess some people are also too stupid to form their own thoughts. But, I guess you agreed with me after all.

There are many other protesters who also wave posters supporting other races of victims. Also on Twitter.

You don't need to argue unless your intent is to keep trying to change my opinion. And I never mentioned that I personally feel victimized. Nice try!

This is not about a single case. Quit being stupid.  There are more white people killed by police than blacks. That can be proven with stats that can easily be found.  It is not just me that can confirm it. Everyone around here knows about it.

I am not arguing unless you are too.  Simply responding to stupidity directed at me.  Back to proving you are like 2 completely different people responding. 
If race did not have to be brought in to it and ALL of the cases where a cop kills an innocent person were treated the same you could get more support. It is like the WHITE WOMAN who called 911 and as she stood there talking to the cop her idiot friend walks up behind the police car and smacks the back of the car.  The cop in the passenger side shoots and kills the woman standing there talking to them.  The one who called for help.  He also shot across in front of his partner's face.  He said oh well I was scared.  So he walks away free.  No riots, no big deal made.  Why?  It was just a white girl.  Nobody cared.

You cannot be that ignorant IRL (can you?) because you literally mentioned a single case... There are significantly more white people in this country so I'd be surprised if that weren't the case. It's a problem when anyone is killed unnecessarily by an officer.

You accused me of arguing so that means you are yourself. You pick and choose a single part of my responses to respond to. When people start making sense to you, your brain doesn't process and starts going with elementary jabs. Hahaha! @ different people? You can't be a 10 year old. 

Reread above where I said: If you have a problem with it, DO something about it. Minorities are fighting for justice. Complaining to strangers on FC because the majority is being "ignored" seems silly. Or just plain stupid. Make it a big deal if you feel nobody cares or just keep complaining to the internet like you do.

The only ignorant one is you.  Do you want me to sit here and name every case that can be found online??  Are you really that stupid?  Numbers will tell you more white people are shot or killed by cops.  Either way it is wrong.  The whole point is when it is black on white there are no riots or no big deals made.  Yes, I mentioned ONE case.  ONE case I personally know about.  It is not the only case.  And FYI I am not complaining.  I have never once complained.  It is called having a conversation.  But you can't do that.  Again, you do the exact same thing you accuse me of.  SO I guess you are 10 also. lol

You want me to believe your one case because "personally know about." So amuse me and name the cases. As I mentioned, no one is saying white men are not also victims. Once again, reread above where I said: If you have a problem with it, DO something about it. Minorities are fighting for justice.

Make it a big deal if you feel nobody cares OR just keep complaining to the internet like you do.

You've said this all before so I'm sure you do care. 

[countrygirl12]

But you make it sound like it is just white people starting the fires and destroying things. That is not true. I have seen the videos of black people screaming and throwing stuff and being completely crazy.  Why does skin color even need to be mentioned? Just further incites hate.  I do know a lot of the people participating are bussed in from other places. You are right about the by-standers. WHY would you want to be in the middle of that where you could be hurt or killed? Oh because people are idiots. smh

And I understand WHY the police and fire are not responding. Just pointed out they said they are no longer responding. Not a lot they can do.  Things are too out of control.  They need help.  But none of this is to honor the guy who died. 

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like it's only white people. It's definitely not. I was just referring to the organized extremist groups that are only there to incite violence. There are definitely opportunists of all races there.

True.  Last night I saw some stuff that was pretty much what you said and I wondered if you were quoting them.  All this is doing is inciting more hate.  Of course that is the point.  To further divide the country.  I was out in town yesterday and people of all races were friendly to each other and showing love.  We are not participating in this nasty that is plaguing our country.  Not sure what would happen if outsiders came here.  Although I do not see that happening.  I still think the people who live here, of all races, would stand together.

How about you stop spreading ignorance.  Let it go already.  I am not complaining.  But you sure are.  What difference does it make if I  "name" the case.  You still won't believe it because there was no big deal made.  Just a simple news story and it that news story no mention of race.  That was my point.  The only people who know are the ones who live near where it happened and knew the people involved.  No where in the news story does it say a BLACK cop shot a WHITE man.  Just that it happened.  But you are too foolish to see that.  So keep arguing with me.  You know that thing you say you aren't doing. It is quite entertaining.

You've said this all before so I'm sure you do care. 

And you have said all the ignorance you spout before so obviously you care as well. haha  Like I said it is quite entertaining.

The only thing I care about it that our lives and country is being destroyed and people are too stupid to see what is happening.  Enjoy spouting off on here while you can because there could come a time when you can no longer do that.

It was a devastating video to see. I kept wondering what crime he had committed and I saw that he used a counterfeit bill to buy cigarettes. The use of force was excessive and these particular cops had previously used undue force and should have been severely disciplined. And in this case, the charge should at least be manslaughter because he kept his knee on Mr. Lloyd's neck (not appropriate at all) and did not remove it until his body was limp and lifeless and was lifted onto a stretcher. It's a shame that these things happen and that all police are all lumped into the same basket of deplorable people that should be dishonored and not respected.

There are lots of intelligent and caring people within our ranks. Let's just kiss and make up. Okay? 

I also enjoy intelligent discourse. I do, however, hate when people feel they can't voice their opinions freely without being criticized and attacked. Discussions should be exchanges and not people trying to stifle others.

I also think we should all be capable of having conversations without childish insults. We are (hopefully) not children.

Hahaha! Anyways, here is my makeup kiss.

LOL  YOU LET IT GO!  How many times are we going to go thru the back and forth.  DO what you are screaming at me.  I have not complained once.  Simple made statements.  I am not bringing up random things.  This whole thing is about race.  If it was not it would not be white cop kills black man.  Or black people are killed by police.  It would simple be a man was killed by police.  And no mention of skin color would ever have been mentioned.  How hard is that for you to understand?  smh

There are lots of intelligent and caring people within our ranks. Let's just kiss and make up. Okay? 

I also enjoy intelligent discourse. I do, however, hate when people feel they can't voice their opinions freely without being criticized and attacked. Discussions should be exchanges and not people trying to stifle others.

I also think we should all be capable of having conversations without childish insults. We are (hopefully) not children.

Hahaha! Anyways, here is my makeup kiss.

Hmmm.  That goes both ways.  YOU can't let me have a say without attacking me.  And yes you have done that.  It is funny because as I pointed out there were 2 different conversations going on and YOU were like 2 completely different people.  On one you are all attacking and calling me names and the other actually half way having a conversation.  It is funny because you do all the things you have accused me of.

I asked a simple serious question.  WHY do you think he was intentionally trying to kill the man?  You can't answer that.  All you can (in your words) do is be butthurt and hurl insults and call me names.  Exactly why the country is in chaos and fighting.  Nobody wants to actually listen to the other person.  I stated yes he should be arrested, charged, and go to jail.  But I do not think he was trying to kill him.  Rough him up yes.  But actually murder him - no.  The cop had been rough with people in the past and got away with it. I think he was doing the same thing.  He thought he would be rough and go on with life.  I do not think he in any way meant to actually kill him or for any of this other stuff to happen.  So how about take your own advice and have a conversation with calling me names and putting me down.  It would not matter what I said you would fight with me because you have already formed an opinion of me and would argue about anything just to disagree with me.  Again, it is kind of funny at this point.
