That is the greatest movie of all time. Over that boy hand!
Protests following the killing of George Floyd

Don’t see the issue at all. The cops obviously felt threatened.
Just cannot see the trial next month ending well at all.
That murdering pig has cost the people an absolute fortune.
This shit should be paid by police pension pot.
Absolutely. Police budgets are typically bloated to be able to pay off for malfeasance, such actions by police officers like this cnut shouldn’t be more of a drain on taxpayers. Either from a pension fund or directly from the police budgets itself, the money for this lawsuit should negatively affect the police itself. Boo hoo if they can’t spend the budget on more APCs or other weapons of war.
Yep. This is what people mean when they talk about defunding the police. Why should taxpayers have to cover their malfeasence and incompetence?
American settlement is weird.
If you settle for a murder case that means the accussed is guilty. It's one thing settling for a gray manslaughter case such as slipped on a wet floor. But this?
It's basically saying you're right. It's murder, here's some cash to drop the case

It's a civil trial not a criminal one. I believe the standards for "conviction" are lower but yeah, like OJ Simpson's civil trial, it kinda speaks volumes about what happened.
Not familiar with law, but could a civilian or group of civilians file a suit against the state that why should taxpayers front the cost of public servants found liable in civil court decisions?
Could this fall under the ACLU? Has it been struck down in past suits?

If there are any taxpayer focused groups I'm sure they could. We have one called the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. They're mostly right leaning nutbars who probably wouldn't sue law enforcement agencies but it would be within their scope of concerns.
I think there are some aspects of this case that is overlooked, missed or ignored. When I saw the original video, I was 100% that I had witnessed a murder. However when I saw the full body cam footage from a pro-cop angle there was some aspects that made me doubt whether this was murder, manslaughter or a death due to a perfect storm(drugs, medical conditions, knee on the neck and panic attack/toxic delirium).
I think there are some things.
1. He admits in the full body cam footage to taking drugs. He shows signs of toxic delirium. He screams I can't breathe 8 times before he hits the floor and there is a knee on his neck. In the toxicology report, he had 3 x the lethal threshold of Fentanyl in his system. The coroner concluded that under any other circumstances he would have concluded that he would have died of pulmonary edema and of an overdose.
2. If the Chauvin wanted to murder him, what would be his motive, and would he do it in broad daylight whilst being filmed.
3. Restraining with the knee is allowed by the police protocol, however I cannot find any good excuse to do this on George Floyd for 8.5 minutes especially considering with him already complaining about him not being able to breathe.
However I think with the findings of toxicology report and the full body cam footage, I think it's unlikely he would be found guilty of homocide, but perhaps manslaugter due to recklessness. On top of that this would be the most politized trial in decades in the US and perhaps both the family and the police thought a settlement would be the best course of action. I'd just like to add that I'm not making excuses for the Chauvin here, since I can't make any excuse for him keeping his knee on his neck for 8.5 minutes, just that there is information of the case that seems to be ignored.

Opening statements start next Monday. Currently selecting the jury.

It all falls under qualified immunity. There are certain situations where police officers forfeit this protection through their actions. Violating someone's constitutional rights is one, I think.
Not sure what thread to put this in tbh
Not exactly bestseller material and in very poor taste.
Can’t believe a large publishing house like S & S would sanction such a book.
I wouldn’t be surprised if S & S drops this like a hot potato.
In addition to the insanity of giving this dipshit (can't think of a better word having read the article) a public voice, what on earth does he have to say that will fill a bloody book?! A New York Post article seems about the max you could get out of this...
Worst piece of paper on the east coast!
Yep. It would seem the ‘Famous Jewish Sports Legends’ leaflet could be more voluminous than whatever drek this twat could make into a book.
Exactly! And I imagine they're not know for their longer pieces.
Not that he'll write a word of it himself of course. I'm sure they will manage to dig up a propagandist to help him tell how he fought the good fight that day against the trash and criminals of this world.
90% chance the author will be a future/current/ex writer on Tuckers show.
This might sounds weird but those murderers are celebrated like some sort of heroes among the right racist groups.
Wouldn't be surprised if rittenhouse got a new fame and chicks lining to get banged while the boys lining to buy him a drink listening to his escapades of how he shoots those no good rioters

Just taking a glance at him validates your theory.
This will be ghost written to feck.
I’ll bet we hear S & S drooping this within the next 24 to 48 hours. Shit like this happens with some regularity, the large publishing house not being always clued in as to what its divisions are doing.
You couldn’t be more wrong if you needed to be.
It doesn’t sound weird in the slightest.
I understand. If george Floyd is alive I'd buy him a round if i see him to be fair.
contender yes, but Matt Gaetz has to be running away with this at the moment.

A US couple who gained nationwide notoriety after they pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters last year have been pardoned.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey were filmed holding weapons outside their home in St Louis, Missouri.
They were fined after pleading guilty to misdemeanour charges this year.
But Missouri's Republican Governor Mike Parson has now pardoned them, something he had promised after US conservatives began to support the couple.

They spoke at the Republican National Convention last year. They're racist scum, so it's no surprise they were immediately embraced by the American right.
