Can't find it right off, but did any one see the video where it shows the other 2 out of 4 officers to the right of  Chauvin out of site behind the SUV ALSO kneeling on Floyd ?
 

And people wonder why there is riots and looting all over America, let alone the general mistrust and outright disdain people have against law enforcement?   

Fascist police brutality has always been going on to people of all colors, its time to stop being in denial that such events do not often occur or think any cop is not capable of such evil barbarity at any time.

Fascist is wrong, I think the word you want to use is
Mercenary.

I, for one, dont wonder why there are riots. I'm sure anyone can understand why they are rioting. But it doesn't make any sense to cause pain and suffering for someone who had nothing to do with the incident that sparked all this. I just saw a video of a man who sunk all of his life savings into a business, worked his ass off to grow it, only to have it literally burned to the ground by idiots who think this is justified because of the lack of response to peaceful protest.

And for someone to make a blanket statement and say that this is an obvious reason to no longer trust law enforcement is very irresponsible. This act of brutality, though very saddening, is not indicative of all LEOs. I personally know a handful and not one has that in them.

I have also been on the other side of the law multiple times when I was younger and have been treated respectfully and fairly.

It seems that our society is not about reform for justice but want selfish reform for criminal activity.

The collateral damage from the current riots do not make any sense.  However, this senseless collateral damage is no different for those people in Iraq or Afghanistan, who lost their property, livelihoods, as well as lives as well from the American military during those illegal wars and no one in America seems to care.

The ex-cop and murderer himself, Derek Chauvin, was a 19 year police veteran, who had killed in the line-of-duty before, but never committed anything as heinous leading to the execution of George Floyd.  As of yet, there is no evidence to suggest that he was capable of doing what he did in the eyes of his peers.

Regardless, that's the point.  Chauvin was the not ideal cop, but was not the cop with the longest history of brutality either.  It was just on one day, he decided to end Floyd's life right in front of a watching public, despite hearing Floyd's begging for his life.  No one, including his own fellow cops who were with him, could have seen this coming.  That is why I made the statement that all cops, for whatever the reason, are capable of doing what Chauvin did at any place and at any time.




I have known and do have many cops that are good acquaintances.  However, from what I have observed, some are generally nice, but from what I can tell, all of them are capable of extreme violence.

Your argument is ridiculous. What you are describing is a human, not a cop. Imagine if the government used that crazy reasoning in deciding gun control laws. You've never commited a crime in anyway, never gave anyone any reason ever to think that you would ever commit a crime, but since humans in the past have, then you might. Therefore, you shouldn't be able to own a gun. In some ways they already have made decisions like that, and I'm pretty sure you aren't happy with those decisions. Or if someone did that same reasoning in any capacity, be it race, sex, etc. it is a poor argument to say that someone may, so they all...

My comparison is to show you that you would not want to be judged by the actions of others. No one would. Therefore making your stance conditional.

Yes, no one should be judged by the actions of others.  However, when dealing with police, who are employed for the people, armed to uphold the law, and given the public trust; they have to be universally measured and held to the highest standards, unlike private citizens.

One or even a few cases of police brutality nationally is already unacceptable, but when such cases of brutality or unjustified shootings occur frequently every month, year after year, and in different parts of the country, you have a serious systemic problem and, hence, it is not unfair to make sweeping characterizations for the said institution.
