National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

Mayor Adams’ revised $110B budget cuts sanitation, library, education and migrant services, puts NYC on track to have less than 30K cops

This shit is wild. Everything is getting cut in NYC, but Adams is housing so many illegals that it's taking 4B of the NYC budget. Perhaps if the Democratic voters actually gave a shit about their neighbors...we wouldn't have a border crisis and the vegetable in chief would deport all of them. Need more agents, and agents need not be cutting barbed wire to bring them onto our side of the border.

NYC has nothing on Minneapolis. Watch the documentary a posted earlier then understand the "defend the police" movement is alive and well in Minneapolis:
Minneapolis police incentives voted down by City Council following debate

It was only a matter of time…

Ex-officer Derek Chauvin, convicted in George Floyd’s killing, stabbed in prison, AP source says

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. In a statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.

Meh, screw that guy…

I'm surprised it took this long.

Non-concur.

The suggestion he murdered or deliberately killed Floyd is narrative pushed by feckless politicians to forward their agenda and perpetuated by an unscrupulous media.

It also raises concerns about the safety of the other 3 former officers.

I'm telling you, it's worth the watch:

He was an arrogant prick, I speak only as a cop who has had to deal with guys like this...often kicking them off my calls because they cause more problems.

But the whole George Floyd thing, I'm over it and have moved on...

EDIT: do I think he intentionally killed the guy, nope....should have just done his job. Due to his actions, officers across the nation had to deal with the fall out of stupid people...sucks big time.

‪I know in some cases it’s fun to revel in the administration of “prison justice”, but I think it is always a demonstration of incompetence by the government.‬

Again, non-concur on this point.

Sure, his actions were a catalyst. But, even if he was an asshole, I truly don't believe they were the driver behind Floyd's death. Moreover, as clearly laid out in the documentary, it was the political will of the governor, prosecutors, and other politicians, combined with the complicity of the press, that drove the national fallout. They could've prevented it but instead chose to stoke the fire (almost literally). They largely remain culpable but have yet to be held accountable...and probably never will.

 

[Kraut783]

I get it...my thoughts of him are only to the point of his mishandling the call.

What transpired afterwards is politics, Spin, media, social media hype...etc....and I don't care anymore and won't waste anytime on it.

Aside from George Floyd, just the fact that he is a former cop would be enough justification in many criminal minds.
