WHICH KNEE?



If you're a Trump cultist, 
the one on the left drives you nuts; 
the one on the right makes you happy.

The one on the left is exercising his Constitutional right; the one on the right committed murder.

"I can't breath. Sir, I can't breath."

No rudeness. Just a weak, polite statement from an alleged, non violent forger, essentially pleading for mercy.

Where are the conservatives condemning this? Where are our GOP leaders stepping up and calling this what it was... a case of bad policing that resulted in the death of another man of color. For a forgery. A bad check, if you will.

Where are the conservative voices condemning the lack of action by the police to protect and serve George Floyd?

Where are the conservative voices in support of the Mayor who fired not one, but all four of the officers who were on scene watching this happen?

Unless and until we hear those conservative voices, the Emmett Till stories will continue.

But hey, maybe we can share a recipe today or imagine what age we'd like to be.

Because when you write a political blog and you can't defend the actions of those you support, let's have happy talk.

VP Cheney started this when he said... "We also have to work, though, sort of the dark side..."

And we've been reaping the result of our headlong rush to act that statement out since that interview. In the Middle East, around the world as we deal with Covid-19 and as we deal with people of color. President Trump and his supporters are the logical extension of former VP Cheney's governing and retaliatory political policy.

Now, what was your happiest day as a child?

Dave, notice that Trump has said nothing, but Joe Biden has. What happened to Mr. Floyd is shocking. At least I'm still shocked, even at this point in the Trump distopia I'm living through, to see a man plead -- POLITELY! -- for his life while a supposed officer of the peace inhumanely kept his knee on him and let him die. What has happened to America. I am so ashamed of what we've become.

Meanwhile, Trump is whining because Twitter is now tagging as untruthful, his childish and mendacious tweets. Trump has time to bleat about that, but says nothing about police murdering another African-American male.

The Mother Ship pretends all's well in Trumplandia while we see it rotting out the very fabric of our country.

Shaw... many of them have become the Dark Side Cheney championed back in 2001.

Such as swell guy he was.

Dave, there are fewer real consevatives today than ever before. There are a few but since Dotard donnie took control of the party of Lincoln the party has completed its metamorphosis from a party which one could be proud to be a part of into a party of corruption, deceit, racism, conpiracy theories, lies, disrespect for decency, and more. Dotard donnie didn't start the slide but he sure as hell put in on sreriods and shifted it into overdrive.

I have yet to hear Dotard donnie weigh in on this murder of a human being. This totally unjustified homicide by a racist police pig and his 3 police accomplices deserves a presidentential response and a full investigation with the president's full force of his office and government behind it.

I may have missed it if he did because I've been off grid most of the day handling pressing personal responsibilities. I'll be watching news tonight. Haven't check Dotard donnies twitter feed lately either.

Les Carpenter said...

Trump today... "It's a sad day. We're getting a full report tomorrow". 6:00 PM news.

That's it.

I police office should be arrested, charged witj 1'st degree murder, and tried. The other 3, charged and tried as accomplices to murder. When convicted they should all rot in prison.

Any bets on Dotard donnie down playing the obvious seriousness of this? Betcha donnie refuses to acknowledge the racism at play in this horrific act of unjustified violence against a man of color.

Anonymous sounds like a certain WYD troll with the initials R.S. He's a sad, weak little man who admires another sad, weak little man, Trump. And he can't help himself from coming here and showing us what a pathetic asshole he truly is.

Some people get off showing the world their lack of intelligence and their affinity for other assholes.

SAD!

DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

Ray Cranston said...

So Rusty or whoever the mongrel who left that comment is tinks extra-judicial killings is the way American cops deal with a suspect? A suspect of non-violent possible crime? Nothing was proved that he did it, right.

And the fkhead who left that comment sounds like a typical Commie. That's how the Commie heads of state, say in China, deal with things like this.

He's shown himself to be a supporter of rogure states that have nothing to do with our American way of life.

He's garbage. Throw the asshole out!

Les Carpenter said...

Take a internet cruise over to WYD's. I posed 7 questions which I think most reasonable folks would view as reasonable. Only 2 responses so and both are exactly what was anticipated by me.

Betting responses will be few, with none recognizing the horrific affront to basic decency and humanity this act of unprovoked violence represents.

RN, you're wasting your time with that lot. They're too full of bile, hatred, and resentment to be able to use logic and be rational. I can only guess that their lives are wretched and empty. Their comments here show them to be a group of unhappy Trump supporters.

SORRY SHAW, I USUALLY AGREE WTH YOU, AND I SM NOT A TRUMP SUPPORTER, BUT I CAN NERVER, NOR WILL I EVER AGREE WITH
COLIN KAEPNICK, NOT WHILE I STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A CHOICES

I have the utmost respect for our men in blue but sadly there are a small amount of them that disgrace the uniform every day and the other policemen that work side by side with them, unfortunately, allow something like this to take place and will pay the price also.
However that doesn’t mean that I agree with that asswipe Colin Kaepernick either I can’t agree with that disgusting picture that make Colin Kaepernick into a hero only bey of the disgusting actions of a moron Cop.

Trump jacked around for two months as COVID swept America, lying, denying it was coming, and failing to prepare this country for the pandemic.

But someone pisses him off on Twitter and the government moves like a scalded dog.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Thea and Anonymous,

Colin Kaepernick demonstrated peacefully. Is that the reason you both dislike his calling attention to how easily a black man or woman is killed by law enforcement?

Kaepernick is a hero to many Americans.

Anonymous @9:09,

Amazing, isn't it? What Trump prioritizes. He made no mention of the 100,000 dead Americans due to his incompetence, but moved swiftly against Twitter's fact-checking his lies.

It's always about him.

The Eric Garner Excessive Use of Force Prevention Act prohibits police chokeholds and other tactics that result in asphyxiation.

#GeorgeFloyd was murdered in plain sight.

How many more Americans have to die before Congress acts?
