Protests following the killing of George Floyd

Guys, I don’t wanna sound like a broken record. But it looks like George Floyd’s mental health is being weaponized to deny his family justice.

Imagine what the result of the autopsy would have been if (somehow) the race of George Floyd & the circumstances of his death were not known to the coroner? I know that would be almost impossible to divorce the two, but, based solely on evidence, would the coroners have tossed that ‘intoxicants‘ line in there this early in the investigation?
 
Some 4D dirty politics going on.
Chauvin may not be considered a flight risk, but decision to grant him bail is going to further aggravate protesters for rest of weekend.

Be interesting who, if anyone, posts his bail. The moment he is free via bail, he's on the run and being hunted. Surprised that he's beem granted bail and that seems low but maybe because of the charges made against him.

A half million dollar bail on someone without the resources to hire agents to secure escape to Lebanon in a suitcase is not dirty politics.

We should be careful to not read so much into every detail. There is enough elsewhere to be concerned about.

On CNN, the lawyer Joey Jackson explained that he actually only has to post 10% of the bail amount to go free.
 
It would be stupid to let him out on bail at the moment. Odds are the moment he walks out of the jail, he will have a massive target on his head, and the police are going to have to guard him 24/7 for a long time with all the protests going on.

Someone will set up a GoFundMe for his bail money. Watch.

How fecking dare you? I mean..how dare you even suggest that the honest, hard-working folks like the cop doctor who testified can even lie in such situations or even suggest that the system works to protect cops. People like Pogue have spent their entire life and rhetoric believing POS like him.

He says he’s from Florida but he won’t be able to talk for awhile
Did you ban him for putting forward an opinion, or for attacking a poster? If it’s the former, that is shocking. People can be wrong and will be criticised. That is fine - he wasn’t being hateful.
 
Right...

And no, it’s wasn’t me who banned him.
Do you disagree? Genuine question. Stupid opinions will be criticised, and rightly so. I really don’t think it’s beneficial to silence contrarian opinions though. Would love to hear the rationale behind his banning - perhaps I missed a particularly inflammatory comment but if not, I strongly oppose banning people based on perceived ignorance. I’d hope you do too.

There’s a search function. Use it.

I don’t know how to use it but I’ll try to find the offending comment. In the meantime, if you can do away with the ridiculous level of hostility for a second, I’d love an answer to my question - do you think it’s appropriate to ban individuals guilty only of ignorance, and not of inciting hatred?
 
Curious as to where you are from? To say that the use of the word ‘thug’ is not racially charged is the height of ignorance.

I am from Spain. I genuinely didn't know that thug as racially charged. Wow, that makes Trump recent tweets even worse!

Is that always? or it depends on context?

No.
 
Well, you’re the one jumping to conclusions about something. That’s always a blast.
You have a strange definition of jumping to conclusions. You’ll see I quite clearly asked whether he had done anything more than put forward an opinion. Did I flatly dispute his banning? No. You could’ve said he had attacked people earlier and saved us both the trouble.

He called Carolina Red a cnut and said ‘ban me’ etc etc. I also think that he said something bad on how Redcafe has become. That was after he attacked multiple posters.

I’ve since been informed. I’m very glad that I was wrong and that he was banned for being a knob and nothing else.
