Wow talk about stupidity Scott or should I say holding the line, you really think he needed a knee on his neck for that long to subdue him? You are the mirror image of that cops mentality with that post. You’d have fit right in where the Celtic legend Bill Russell couldn’t buy a house.

A little history. Back when America was "great," this man couldn't buy a house in my home town of Wakefield, Massachusetts. He bought one in Reading, next door, where one night a band of Americans broke in, stole his valuables, smashed his trophies, and #^&#^&#^&#^& inside the covers of his and his wife's bed. Yes, #^&#^&#^&#^& on his bed. And every game, he stood stoically for the anthem, looking around at thousands of white faces as they boasted of the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
I could live in Wakefield. But Bill Russell, the greatest player in the history of basketball, the man in this picture wearing his Presidential Medal of Freedom, couldn't.
Don't let anyone tell you there's no such thing as white privilege. Don't let any government official, especially a president, tell you or anyone else when it is appropriate to stand, sit, or kneel in protest. And most of all, don't fall for this MAGA bull#^&#^&#^&#^&.

you don't read very well....

"you can argue the cop was wrong in what he did and he's now paying the price for making a very poor decision"

well yeah but if you read between the lines, you’re saying the cop is a hero.

I read enough to prompt my response, here is what you posted, which suggested the cop was justified.

I ask myself, if I'd done what the "victim" did, would I have had the same result?...in the case of Floyd...absolutely..

not sure how you construe this into suggesting the cop was justified

he's(the cop) now paying the price for making a very poor decision

if I said Floyd was now paying the price for making a series of poor decisions by taking a lethal dose of drugs and driving his vehicle around and passing a counterfeit bill and being uncooperative with the police

does that suggest to you that I think Floyd was justified?

expand in that history lesson just a little, please. which party embraced that segregation, and which party fought against it?

and to show how far they’ve come since those dark days, today liberal
elites are denying college admissions to asians based solely on race, and are segregating college students in black-only dorms and having separate graduation ceremonies based on skin color.

Exactly what Martin Luther King wanted!
