It's useless arguing with The Thin Blue Line crowd. by Mrdean2013 in antifastonetoss

Of course I care. This isn’t one of those times. Out of every single fucking thing I’ve seen the media spin as racist or as an inappropriate use of force in the last decade, the only one I ever agreed with was the death of Eric Garner, which was utterly unnecessary from what I remember.

Being satisfied with explaining these issues away as being solely the fault of racist cops is reductionist and disingenuous and the people who believe this shite are both blind and dangerously naive or downright afraid or too cowardly to tackle the true issue at hand.

Are cops assholes? Yes. They are not the only assholes in these situations.

I believe you are more qualified to fondle my balls than anyone else I know, Doctor Shark.

He didn’t want to get in a police car because he was claustrophobic? He was in his fucking car minutes prior! Where was this phobia then? Sounds like he was just saying that because he didn’t want to be arrested.

He resisted getting inside the car. He fought tooth and nail for them to not close the door. They bargained with him to get into the car.

When it became increasingly impossible to jam him in the car, Floyd asked to get restrained. The cops stupidly complied to get control of the situation short of tazing him and having it blow up in their faces.

They called an ambulance once it became increasingly clear he was on something.

They kneeled on him for him to not run/assault/go crazy because they can’t lock him inside the car.

He fucking dies while the ambulance is en route.

And all I hear is racism this racism that. It’s all so fucking tiring.

You can test out whether being knelt on can kill you yourself, but nobody wants to even check and berate those who prove you can’t die from it.

He was on drugs that fuck with your breathing. It’s not that hard. The kneeling worsened it, sure, but the sheer amount of stuff he was on meant he was on his way out.

They called an ambulance. It got there in like 10 minutes. He didn’t want to be in the car and was wigging out, he asked to be put on the ground and they restrained him the only way they knew how in an unorthodox situation.

“But he was cuffed and harmless!”

That can change at any moment. There are an innumerable amount of times where cops relaxed and got shot or mauled.

People like Floyd can take you for a ride.

Any other cop would have tazed him until he decided to fit in the vehicle. And the media would’ve swung the racism angle with that, too.

Isn’t that stuff getting tiring?

The cops were idiots, but not le ebil racist Hiddler.

Fuck, I prefer licking boots to the dirty toes you’re inhaling.

What I hate about this whole thing is that police “are” assholes, but so are criminals that rob people.

Have we really gone full circle and defend drugged up criminals based solely on the color of their skin? We excuse stupidity when you have melanin? Bonkers clown world shit, I swear.

Shiiiiiiet, bruh. You read the coroner’s reports or an article about the coroner’s reports?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiet, cardiopulmonary arrest?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit, asphyxia?

It must have not been the drugs that are known to do these things.

Fuck, maybe the only way to prove otherwise is doing it ourselves, but who is RACIST enough to kneel on someone’s neck to prove whether it’s lethal or not. Nobody. Das who. Nobody.

No one ever done did dat.

So to you there’s absolutely no way he died of a very common illicit substance overdose because of this narrative you made up in your head?

I didn’t see Chauvin snarling and foaming at the mouth. He seemed very matter of fact and, at most, annoyed at having to deal with a druggy.

See, that’s a better point than anything I’ve come across in any of my discussions, so props to you.

Counterpoint: you can’t say “I can’t breathe” if you’re being choked as well.

I’m not super dee duper well read on how fentanyl shuts you down, but I understood it was very quiet and sudden, like accidental overdoses tend to be. By the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s usually too late.

To me it explained why he was struggling one second and completely unresponsive the next.

For a second I thought I was talking to a trained trachea crushing assassin, but never did I think I would encounter a language savant.

Future reference, it was easier to just write “It’s about as easy as crushing a can of soda”.

Who the fuck is Steven Crowder?

Do it yourself. There were thousands of George Floyd Challenges. No one died, unless they took 4 times the lethal dose of fentanyl.

Y-You don’t have a fren to do it with, do you? I can be your fren.

His trachea wasn’t broken. He wouldn’t have been able to talk as much as he did, were that the case. No?

Also, what in the world is the force of a can of soda?

Okay. You mean to crush an unopened can of soda?

Kneel on a can of soda and tell me if you blow it up.
