It's time for "The Talk"

I think tasteless puns are the only thing keeping me on the internet anymore.

Killing of Breonna Taylor - Wikipedia

(en.m.wikipedia.org)

The whole picture is it was a no knock warrant, officers shot first.

Why are your thumbs so mad? Is it because they have to type out so many half truths?

probably a cop

It has nothing to do with blame and everything to do with survival. Correctly blaming the wild animal isn't much comfort when the damage is done.

Some of the picture that you're conveniently omitting:

• George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).
• George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.
• At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).
• George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.
• Derek's knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.
• There's conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let's not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

So stop with the propaganda.

I'm white as Wonder Bread and I remember hearing my daddy give that second talk to my big brother, word for word. Being as he's white, it did work to keep him safe when he was arrested. For young men of color, the record shows it doesn't always work for them.

[ricecake@sh.itjust.works]

Ah, the high risk situation of being called to deal with a man falsely accused of a non-violent crime, and an unruly mob of people keeping their distance and "begging the men with guns and armor not to murder a man in the street". I can definitely understand why shitty cowards would feel threatened.

lied about in court

I'm gonna go with "nah". He was found guilty, so he's a guilty murderer.
I'm shocked a bootlicker like yourself would have such doubts in the system. Or is it because they actually found a cop guilty and you just can't accept such a travesty? Just think of all the black kids he could have threatened!

Go to hell.

The solution is not better cops, it's better oversight and accountability for the cops. Authority without accountability always leads to abuse.

I didn't mention Floyd. The fact you have to put words in my mouth and then argue against them proves that you know you're wrong.

This is the weirdo anti-Linux troll, there's not a whole lot of rhyme or reason with them.

Lmao the dude who loves proprietary and hates open source, slobs on Microsoft's knob all day, and bans me with little snarky notes cause he knows I can't say anything back is a racist. Who'd have known? This town don't take to kindly to bigots.

The small text for accessibility:

the daddy gives the mommy a very special gift. The gift of a brother. Daddy has a penis, and Mommy has a vagina. He sticks his penis into her vagina, and Mommy has an egg. Sperm comes out of Daddy's penis and that comes into contact with the egg. When this happens, the sperm enters the egg and it causes over time for something to develop inside Mommy. Nine months later, the gift is delivered. Timmy, this is where you came from eight years ago. Lorem ipsum [...]

White people need to tell police not to trust cops either

That's rich, you stupid fucking racist.

I'm glad we had sex ex in school before that class got shut down by the parents that wouldn't even be affected because they homeschool their kids or have them in rape-church private school
