They finally arrested the murderer cop Chauvin, Why was he only charged with third degree murder? He was intentionally trying to choke Floyd to death. 

 

The exact statutory definition of third-degree murder is "the unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated without any design to effect death, by a person engaged in the perpetration of, or in the attempt to perpetrate, any felony other than" nineteen enumerated categories of felonies.

 

Without any design to effect death? Huh? A 6 year old can see his intentions from the videos.  Second, it was only alleged he was trying to use a counterfeit bill. Is that just presumed to be a felony? Did the grocer have an ax to grind here? Can he be charged for a crime? 

So you're saying the liberal Democrat DA is going to easy and that you know better? I thought we were supposed to leave these things to the professionals.

No its called a civilised society. As an American, you won't have experienced that.

You know nothing about me or America. That much is abundantly clear. If you think one should do nothing while thugs destroy their business and life, don't come here. We only want civilized people here. Civilized people don't let thugs destroy their lives and do nothing about it.

Yep, I'm glad the thug who murdered the suspect has been charged.

 

On what evidence do you say the cop(s) who arrested the CNN crew are thugs?

At least the reporter was arrested in a civil fashion. No hard takedown, no illegal choke hold, No knee on throat. He should count himself very lucky as those police look like they are ready to take anyone out at a moments notice.  Big mistake going for the black reporter first though, BIG mistake.

Big mistake for thousands of thugs to destroy black and white business owners lively hoods,businesses,properties, by committing looting , civil disorder  and every other imaginable thing! Screw the journalist ! They are in a riot zone

Minnesota and Minneapolis is run by Democrats.  Both the mayor and governor that are in charge of the police force are Democrats.  You made my day.555555

In many states, it is legal to use deadly force to protect property. Protecting one's livelihood certainly applies. To think a business owner has no choice but to sit and watch thugs destroy his life and livelihood without using deadly force is obscene.

Regrettably the US has huge social problems. However, it is my belief the killing of a person when your life is not being threatened is murder.

Our laws say otherwise. You can certainly disagree. If looters are entering my business, I'm going to save my livelihood and do what it takes to fend them off. If that includes shooting people, so be it. But just to stimulate some more discussion, what if a rapist is on top of my wife? Is it murder if I shoot him? Or is defending your life and/or the life of another person a justifiable reason to use deadly force?

But the riots are not restricted to Minneapolis are they?

They are also taking place in states run by republicans.

Where the riots are taken place has not much to do with the cause of it. The attacks on the media by politicians are worsening an already existing problem.

You are now comparing a city where riots began to states. Apples to oranges. The fact is, in the US, riots and social unrest are far more likely to occur in cities run by Democrats. I suppose one can search for a reason to avoid this simple fact. I prefer facing facts as they are.

The media is worthy of attack and mockery. If they really wanted to help, they would cover events like this:

 

 

 

 

But no, that might help change perceptions and create unity. We can't have that. Attacks on the media? There aren't enough. Now, we can probably agree some if not much of the attacks are misplaced. So this is my effort to make a proper attack on them. I say the press logo on the top photo should have the ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, Breitbart, CNN and other outlets and be seen everywhere. Instead, it appears only one minor outlet has it. These photos don't fit the narrative, that's why no widespread coverage. What other conclusion.

 

One final comment on the issue from a broader perspective. Why should anyone outside the black community care anymore? We condemn the cop who murdered Floyd. We condemn the constant violence in the same neighborhoods that happens constantly. We condemn the rioting, looting and burning, only to be told we're racists who don't get it and it's ____________'s fault instead of the fault of the people who actually perpetrate the crimes. Why should people care anymore?

Make your case. You can start by making the connection @Chomper Higgot voiced, but provided ZERO substance to make. Tell, what does CNN goons being arrested have to do with the lack of coverage of black men protecting a cop. Hopefully, you can do better.

You make my case in virtually every post you make, including this one. "CNN goons", that's the language of a 12 year old who has no real idea what they're talking about. Don't expect adults to give serious replies to your posts.

What's wrong with calling agents of a propaganda machine "goons"? And still, what does CNN goons being arrested have to do with the media not covering events like the black men protecting the police officer?

I am not requesting help from you. Now let's get back to the matter at hand. What did I post that makes the quote below a rational response?

 

"So the Police arrested the news crew because they weren’t doing what you want them to?!"

 

Can you make a logical case? Yes or no? Better yet, what are your thoughts on media not covering unifying events such as the one I posted?

No, you're wrong. The comment was not random. It was a direct response to someone posting about attacks on the media. And as stated, the media is worthy of being attacked.

 

No media outlet, especially CNN, should be trusted when they post a video of them being arrested. For all we know, they were repeatedly told to get out of the way and failed to do so.
