The moment George Floyd was pulled from his SUV....
They're trying to make it look like he struggling with them.

He can't make the family do anything. The reality is a lot of the families ain't got the resources to be spending years in court fighting the city and police department. You also are not going to find a lot of lawyers (if any) that are going to be willing to take up a decades fight against the police.
With all that being said, I wonder why some of these Justice Project type organizations don't go after some of the police organizations. They obviously don't mind spending years on a cases.
Every day i get more angry
There is a black guy filming saying you not should have resisted. It could be nerves or blood flow that is being restricted. We need more people resisting the police in court not hand to hand combat.
Heroes Care Act - Mass Incarceration
One of the things the recent legislation will do is 'bailout' the states by giving over $1 trillion. I'm not against this at all but many states have spent billions on mass incarcerating us. Many states have failed to enact marijuana legalization, set up drug courts, or other progressive...

This is how I am resisting the police, this is a Crime Bill disguised as aid to the states for COVID-19. These states are running lean with no reserves mass incarcerating everybody, not legalizing drugs, than relying on the federal government to bail them out. I am not a Johnny come lately showing up all of a sudden.
The only thing that nerves are involved with is the sensation to touch or the ability to feel...not your airway or breathing.
The Police Unions and Associations need to be defanged and declawed by these municipalities. If the everyday working stiff can't have a Union, then these Pigs shouldn't either.
States like Wisconsin have place caps on damages that can be claimed in cases like this. Those caps should be removed and also, as others have mentioned, attack the pensions of the Pigs themselves.
Those parts
The mayor in this case seems to be taking the right steps but goddamn am I tired of hearing the word "investigation". That kkkop should be in jail rn. We have full video of his torture and execution of Floyd. What additional context do we need?
Anyone other than a cop would be in cuffs in similar circumstances. They'd be in jail with bond set awaiting trial. For some reason we've agreed to hold cops to a lower standard while also gifting them with enormous power. Shit is retarded and infuriating

FBI knows who these race soldiers are..ain't shit being done about it.nsa and others sucking up our info like a muthafuckin vacuum..they know who these people are....shit won't be done about it.
but when we wanna do something about it guaranteed the alphabet agencies get to work quick fast.so thats the game and as long as that's the game then there are no rules.
This is why religion was forced into our minds..fear over this n that.well your enemy who introduced it ain't got no fear over this n that.so I'd advise us all not to either.

5 fucking minutes.....
There is no fucking way to justify resting your body weight / knee on a man's neck for 5 minutes.....
And after 3 minutes a nurse asked to check his pulse and stated he wasn't moving.. they didn't let a nurse check for a pulse....that pig stayed on George's neck for 2 more damn minutes.....
I am fucking FURIOUS.....
THEY WAY WE HAVE BEEN TREATED THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE "SOCIAL DISTANCING" MESS....AND THIS PAST 4/5 DAYS...
It begins to be TOO DAMN MUCH.......
Peace and respect to the brothers who are fighting these pigs with peace and restraint....
I can't be on that path anymore....

Good article. Thanks gman.
Opinion: After George Floyd's death in Minnesota, still think Colin Kaepernick's knee was the problem?
Four officers were fired after George Floyd died in police custody. Still think Colin Kaepernick's kneeling was a problem?
www.usatoday.com
I hope all those so indignant at Colin Kaepernick taking a knee on the field are as outraged by the white Minneapolis police officer putting a knee on a black man’s neck.
Sadly, I doubt that will be the case.
Oh, there might be some who watch the horrible video of George Floyd’s last moments and finally understand why Kaepernick protested. Finally see the casual disregard our society has for the lives of black and brown people. Finally comprehend the toll the legacy of slavery continues to exact on this country.
"Do you understand NOW!!??!!??" LeBron James said on Instagram on Tuesday night, posting a photo of the officer pinning Floyd down with his knee alongside one of Kaepernick protesting.
Kaepernick had posted a similar photo to his Instagram story.
But too many will simply ignore Kaepernick’s message once again. They’ll find a way to justify the actions of the police offer who continued kneeling on Floyd’s neck Monday night even as Floyd said he couldn’t breathe and witnesses begged the officer to stop. Yelp about Kaepernick disrespecting the troops or “what about” his choice of T-shirts or socks.
As if anything justifies someone who is supposed to “protect and serve” so cavalierly taking a life.
It’s been almost four years since Kaepernick began protesting police brutality against people of color, as well as the endemic racism at the root of it, and Floyd’s death shows we haven’t learned a damn thing.
This wasn’t, as some will no doubt claim, a one-off by four rogue cops who were fired Tuesday. Floyd is dead for the same reason Kaepernick remains blackballed from the NFL: Many who hold power in America refuse to acknowledge that those with brown and black skin are treated differently. Seen as "less than."
That, or they know it and they just don’t care.
“Being black in America should not be a death sentence,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a Facebook post Tuesday, before the four officers were fired. “For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a black man’s neck. Five minutes. When year hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense.
“What happened … last night is awful. It was traumatic. It serves as a reminder of how far we have to go.”
A reminder, too, of the opportunity that’s been squandered since 2016, when Kaepernick first took a knee.
There had been several high-profile cases of people of color dying at the hands of law-enforcement officials. Few had resulted in punishment.
In protesting, Kaepernick was trying to hold up a mirror to white America. But we had no interest in seeing our most obvious flaws, flaws that have only become more pronounced since then.
So long as white America refuses to recognize our privilege, we will continue being a danger to people of color. And I don’t mean privilege in the economic sense. I mean privilege in the ability to go about daily life without being judged at first sight, or having the innate fear that your mere existence will bring you harm.
The privilege to barbecue without having the cops called on you. Or swim at a pool. Or ask for directions.
Or birdwatch.
It was outrageous enough that Central Park Karen – her real name is Amy Cooper – had no qualms about lying to the police, hysterically telling them an “African-American man … is threatening myself and my dog.” All because Christian Cooper had had the audacity to ask her to obey park rules and put her dog on a leash.
That Jack Yates family is tight like the Phyllis Wheatley family... both of those alumnis are all over the place and DEEPLY ROOTED in the black community here in Houston...
Fat Pat and Hawk's mom went to Wheatley with my mom... my mom went to both of their funerals...
I've been out in public driving my mom's car that had Wheatley license plate holders on it and I'd get approached by strangers left and right... i didn't go there but once I said my family's name they INSTANTLY would call out the name of a member of my family
This the shit thats been killing me
That dude looked just like stak jak... they called each other twin... stak was always doing for him, sending him clothes, helping however he could... you could see it all in his post he was broke up... hell in one of the pictures stak is saying that big floyd was wearing clothes he sent him and that in the pic you could see the boxes in the background....
He, along with Trae tha Truth will definitely be heavily involved using whatever platform and sway they can with this one.
I put that dude on ignore a long time ago. I am surprised so many people engage him.Just send that brother HERE. I'm not trying to see his rambling in this thread.
Cameras will either cause changes or cause revolution......
There are a lot of things that I ignore manually but sometimes you see a comment that just forces you to respond to the bullshit.
Would love to see more of this
One of his friends said " Close your comment section you idiot......."They going in on his brother lol

Crazy the outrage Kap caused by doing that....not even by veterans because most veterans I know didn't care that he did it. The outrage was from people who tried to change the narrative because they didn't want their precious football interrupted or their color blue to be tainted....
Part of me is like this shit is dope....the other part feels sad because though its artistry its still rings true.
Coons and cacs still trying to bring up Chicago and why we don’t get mad at “Black on Black “ killings. I fucking hate seeing that bullshit brought up. For one we don’t pay gang members and criminals. We pay Police To protect right? They know this but it’s their way to deflect and not have to talk about racism.
Ask them about those white on white crimes
Why are white men carrying out more mass shootings?
After another weekend of mass shootings, Americans are once again debating the problem of gun violence.
Damn gotta resort to guerrilla tactics, shit ain't gonna change peacefully.
Jesus Christ; this man needs justice and his family needs to have rightful justice and compensation. Why does Benjamin Crump ALWAYS get himself involved; he’s done NOTHING for any of our murdered brothers so far!He’s the Al Sharpton of law. I really wonder if his model of civil rights ambulance chasing law has him jumping into these situations before the family even reaches out, or if he reaches out offering his services as a way of continue to market his brand. Either way; he SUCKS!!
In his defense it is not his fault. Systematic racism is an uphill battle to defeat. The odds are heavily not in your favor.
