If they didn't sign up for that, then they were lied to, and have no business being cops.

As far as I'm aware, Chauvin got sentenced to 22 years, not life.

Which really screwed things up for those of us who have been complaining about actual police brutality for decades. It makes it look like we're all making a big deal out of noting; even when we point out stuff like cops being caught on tape who literally beat homeless people to death for no...

Regardless, we can all at least agree that convicting him of murder was beyond the pale. I suspect Chauvin will eventually get the verdict overturned on appeal; but not before the public gets tired of being angry about him, and moves on to something else.

Only because all Cardassians are guilty of something.

And yet what he did is ultimately irrelevant, compared to who he did it to; because most people who have the power only care about the color of George Floyd's skin, and how they can use it to their advantage.

Which may be one of the rare times "protection money" isn't just a euphemism for extortion under threat of violence.

Why are you guys still arguing about what this guy did? The court case is over; he's not relevant anymore. Heck, it's not even guaranteed he's still running for a senate seat; the last time he said anything about that was over a month ago.

I get it; it just seems like I'm being ignored.

He's said he's going to run for a seat in the Senate.

First off; I'm not Right-wing. You know I'm not Right-wing, and yet you keep lumping me in with them whenever I disagree with you. Stop doing that. I repeat. STOP. DOING. THAT. Secondly; do you even know what any of this guy's policy positions are? Or anything about him that isn't rooted in...

All of his political aspirations are built upon that heroic image of him standing against the regressive leftist mob, as well as those wanting to restrict the second amendment. He's not just asking; he's begging to be seen as a hero.

It's a culture war; wars aren't won without taking risks. Heck; part of the reason the regressive left has grown to be as powerful as it has become is because nobody wanted to risk the consequences of resisting them, meaning those consequences were allowed to become more and more dire as...

He gave them what they wanted; are you saying you'd support someone in politics that is willing to give your enemies what they want when the pressure is on?

It's not going to help him win a seat in the Senate though. He still backed down when people wanted him to keep fighting; which helps the regressive left set the precedent that people aren't allowed to defend themselves on their own property from a violent mob.

Well that's his budding political career down the toilet; nobody is going to want to support a political outsider who's a coward.

I don't think it's a lack of willingness; just a belief that any evidence one presents will be rejected out of hand for one spurious reasons. I mean; why bother when you know it won't accomplish anything?

Odds are good they'd eventually hit someone; if not the people they intended to hit.

True, but "let them beat up anyone they want, and arrest anyone who tries to defend themselves" most assuredly is not.

At some point, the police are going to start getting ostracized from their communities, and it's going to become a question of what's more important to them; the job, or not being hated by everyone they meet. For those who decide it's the former, well; things will continue to escalate from...
