I guess we'll just add it to the other words that have lost all meaning. Right next to: racism, sexism, nazi, conservative, fascism.
@a7
Nah, I'm pretty sure Canada and UK should be the ones paying for the riots.
@crunklord420
TBH I'm not in favor of "leaders" speaking just for the hell of it. If you actually have a plan, a policy, or something relevant to say that can help fix things, then go for it. But don't make public statements just to say "our prayers go out to the family". Fuck that useless shit.
@a7
I'd interpret that as a direct thread of violence. So they should be really careful with that shit.

I'm a bit unclear how much he played by the rules. I've heard reports that restraining by the neck wasn't a standard procedure in their precinct. So that's gonna be a big problem if true.
From what I've seen, there's already a good amount of footage of the victim resisting and escalating things. Not sure how much more we could get from body cameras, since those are gonna be a lot more shaky than 3rd party footage. And besides, we're not the ones that should be given access to these things. It's not the mob that should provide justice in the first place.

From what I can remember the restraining by the neck is a bit too common. As in, it's not a smart thing to use, but it is something that is being used. If this were the only case when this technique was applied, then maybe we would have had a different discussion.
But yeah, the evidence points against actual intent to murder. And even in the video, to me it doesn't look as if he was applying full force to try to kill someone. I honestly don't get what mindset people have that they come up with such conclusions.
As for, was it his fault: if we're talking about manslaughter, yup. Not arguing against that. What I'm arguing against is the narrative that the cop intentionally tried to murder someone because of "muh racism".
Huh... apparently the Epic Games free Borderlands games include all the DLC. That's usually not the case for these things. They usually give games without the DLC. So this is giveaway is really worth it then.

Shocker, I might agree that if cops were murdering people in cold blood on a regular basis that would be a bad thing and reason to kick up a fuss. Except that isn't what happened. But some fuckers are trying to make it sound like it is, and everyone is playing into their hands.
@Galena
No, they won't be able to. They're both extremist fundamentalist ideologies. It's in their nature to not give an inch. They would never be able to reach a compromise.
@death@husk.site @11112011
I made my point. But you prefer to believe that guy was murdered in cold bold because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside to support the insane riots.

Unpopular opinion: no one deserves looting. Because when this is over, it won't be the big guys that have to pay the price anyway. It's still the little guy that will have to recover the lost profit.
@Terry
Well, the ones that are planning to take over the leadership of the country have to survive this, don't they?
