Am I right in thinking the trial was 12 years ago?
How is this related to the windows and planters being broken during the recent protest in Knoxville following George Floyd's murder?
How is it related to the shooting of Jacob Blake by police officers?
It relates in that these thugs had better chill, or they are gonna end up in jail or dead.. It's obvious from video that both these individuals were resisting arrest.. One was on enough drugs to kill him, even without the knee on his neck, and the other was trying to break away, and get to something in his car.. George was from the same mold as the 4 here in Knoxville, and I believe time will prove that Blake was too..
Wales shouldn't pretend to understand the States.. It's a whole different game..
pedro27: racial opinion differs regardless of colour skin. Some of the best sports people are black, a list of sports one is boxing, and running. So why do some blacks feel not belonging to the human race, united as one race
That's a good question, Pedro.
Have you ever felt that you were not included in something?
mikey4691: No, I'm arguing that there are thugs of all races, and each one takes his chances when becoming resistant, and threatening to law enforcement.. There are some bad cops, but the majority are just trying to live till the next day, while dealing with scum...
Oh, and I'm not trying to keep anything secret, so come to the States, and enlighten yourself..
Oh, okay.
It was just coincidence that the people you earmarked as being of the same mould just happened to be black, regardless of the crimes they have committed, haven't committed, or you assume they have committed, or will commit.
jac_the_gripper: Are you saying that you and other people with your diagnosis have been excluded from society for many hundreds of years?
yes not only excluded, humilited treated disgraceful not now but.......schizophrenia and schizo affective disorder......i have no syptoms now, i beat it
pedro27: yes not only excluded, humilited treated disgraceful not now but.......schizophrenia and schizo affective disorder......i have no syptoms now, i beat it
Are you saying 'not now' because you have no symptoms now, or because you think society no longer rejects peoples with psychiatric diagnoses?

Are you saying that mistreatment of madness is only in the past?
I've seen some pretty horrible things said about you on these forums related to your perceived mental health. I would consider that mistreatment.
secretagent09: You might be correct in that perhaps he was reaching for something when you look at his body language.
When you get into your car you put your right foot in first and then lift your body into the car. He didn't do that. He was leaning into the car as if he was reaching for something under the seat. But that's an assumption. As Dino said his past will be scrutinized and it might come back to haunt him. They must have searched his car especially under the front seat. I haven't heard if they found something. The cops didn't have time to plant a knife or gun so what could he have been reaching for when he leaned into the car?
For now I hope he lives.
He’s alive but paralyzed from the waist down for now they not sure will he be able to walk again
I could see that he had something in his hand, when he rounded the vehicle.. The first thing you see in the vid, is the cops step back quickly for a reason..
PeKaatje: Now civillians are shooting each other in the USA during the protests, so it's not only a 'wrong cop' thing anymore.
Well the problem is that Democrat run cities are telling the police to stand down and let the rioters do whatever they want........Leaving no choice but for people to arm themselves and take to the streets to defend their property.......or watch it burn to the ground.
So they are saying he MAY have been holding a knife not that he was. He was walking away from the Police not towards them. He appeared to reach into the car where a knife WAS found. He also had his 3 young children in the car a fact of which most of you seem to have totally ignored.
You were not there so all is circumspect and this thread is NOT about what he did or didn't do past or present.
It's about a police officer losing the plot and shooting a man in the back at close range 7 times .
Do you honestly find this acceptable? Yes or No ..
