My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

If seer's point was that it's not as hard to get a surplus gas mask then I'll admit I missed that, though I don't see how that's relevant.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostExcept to a large number of people in Minnesota ... it does. That is why they are going nutsy crazy - they are sick of things like this happening. (But I also condemn the rioting - all rioting does is undermine the support the black community would get from most white people in a situation like this - I just can't see anyone condoning this except crazies)
Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIf just ONE OFFICER had stepped forward and said, "hey, lemme take over" or "hey, you can loosen up your grip", or ANYTHING to intervene.... that's something they are trained to do -- the arresting officer may be fired up with adrenaline (not for that long, to be sure) and somebody else needs to step up and bring order. "When the cuffs go on, the fight is over".
Has anybody mentioned positional asphyxia? They are also trained NEVER leave a suspect face down, because your own weight can cause you breathing problems --- you'll almost ALWAYS see, after the cuffs go on, the officers either helping the guy stand up, or rolling him on his side.
There is SO MUCH about this that makes absolutely no sense.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThe ONLY think I can imagine is that Floyd may have balked at getting in the car, but so far, there's zero evidence of that.
I think it is possible that the cop knocked him to the ground so he could kill him. First degree murder.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThat's the thing. People are rioting over "nothing being done", but all four officers were fired even without an investigation, the guy's been arrested... what more do they want? Putting every police officer in front of a firing squad?

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWould you please read the post to which you responded once more? I think it should be very clear that what "makes absolutely no sense" was senseless death of George Floyd.
My reply is a play on words. In other words, what the policemen did absolutely makes no sense -- Except that apparently in the black community where these riots are happening it or things like it happen often enough that to have a policeman do that DOES make sense (i.e. it happens too often) to them --And that is why they are so angry.
Do you understand what I was getting at? My reply is NOT about youMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
