The idea of culture in wilkes is keeping a lid on their spit bottle so they don't spill it

How could a policeman with 3 other colleagues standing by put his knee on the neck of this restrained man while he (the victim of murder) was saying " I can't breathe" and calling for his "mama"? He was dying - and they allowed it to happen.

I might paint a George Floyd face mural on my tobacco barn this year...wouldn't that cause a stir in Lansing,? lol. It's a shame that he and so many of his brothers and sisters of color had to die this way. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

Our wonderful melting pot country is going to **** under Trump.

Where as Max been? It was and still is front page news and it's all over the TV constantly. Oh! I forget one requirement of being a trump supporter is total denial of reality.

I don't think Drumpf had any more to do with Chauvin's vile act than the governor of Minnesota did. Now, the response...well, that's a different story.

But stuff cuts both ways. If leaders bear any responsibility for the actions of subordinates, that doesn't change based on party affiliation.

If the officer had been a Trump supporter it would be front page news and you know it. The left is quick to point that out after any of the mass shootings if there was any evidence a republican was involved,

Like I pointed out earlier the city fired the former police chief over the Damond case. They didn't blame the federal government

See, I'm just trying to develop the template here. You're quick to lay blame at leadership on a partisan basis, but that seems to have more to do with party affiliation.

Even a simple, nonpartisan question - should leaders be at least partially responsible for the actions of subordinates - seems to come with a partisan caveat when you consider it.

Seems like the rule would apply to everyone regardless of party affiliation. I could get behind that. But it looks like that's a sticking point for conservatives.

What does that have to do with the officer involved?. He had been there for 19 years, Would have it prevented is action's on that day? Wouldn't have kept him from being hired. But keep blaming the Republicans for the failures of a liberal city government.

Oh! Now you want to talk about the officer, and not the protests afterwards! Excellent!

So, we know the Drumpf administration rolled back Obama-era police reform measures...is that a more pertinent example?

Was a federal officer involved in Floyds arrest or death? Then how are they in any way responsible?

shouldawouldacoulda

Posted 9:54 am, 06/06/2020

Heh. Sorta what I thought...

Okay, then: Riots were happening across the United States. Does federal leadership bear any responsibility?

Leave you with this Minneapolis is supposed to have one of the most progressive and racially diverse Police departments in the nation

Did it cause any looting and burning? This thread is about rioting and protest and you want to make it about TRUMP

Actually, the question was absolutely on-topic when discussing the responsibility of leaders...but that has been a touchy subject with conservatives lately.

So, we know the Drumpf administration rolled back Obama-era police reform measures...is that a more pertinent example?

168Amax

Posted 9:36 am, 06/06/2020

When there is a riot about that then we will talk

Nice defection but not a dang thing to do with the topic at hand.

That's an interesting question, Maxy. In your opinion, has Drumpf ever had responsibility for anything negative in his presidency?

As a for instance, though you don't have to consider this one, obviously: Drumpf's administration disbanded the pandemic response team, and the response to the pandemic was poor. Does Drumpf bear any responsibility? Again, skip over that example if you wish.
