Trump Tweet: Looting leads to shooting

Twitter ^ | 5/29/2020 | President Trump

If that’s what he meant I stand corrected. I didn’t read it like that (especially looking at the context of his original Tweet), and I’d bet most people read it the way I did. Frankly, I’d prefer it if he meant that if you loot, you are subject to be shot. That would give people who are destroying businesses and lives some pause. We’ve become a weak society that allows far too much anarchy.

Don’t patronize me, Jackass

I am glad that disgusting cop was arrested and I hope he is tried for murder.
*********
Mandlaughter maybe, but where’s the evidence for a murder charge? Murder requires premeditation or participation in a felony. Premeditation is hard to prove for a cop if the arrest was lawful and intent to kill is lacking.

[rebuildus]

Agreed.

I want arsonists and looters shot, so Go Trump!

"Before you attack me, make sure you see the actual video."

Before you attack me, I'm going to wait for the autopsy results. Thanks.

"Twitter is having a field day over this."

They'd have a field day over whatever he said.

I think it was used by a Miami Pokice Chief or Dade County Sherriff back in the 60s. As a kid I clearly remember the stories that looters would be shot back during the Mississippi floods in the 50s. I remember asking my mom what looting was. Also during the Newark riots in 67 Life had a pic of a Newark cop taking a bead on a fleeing looter with his shotgun. Don’t know if he fired.

Go away

I remember. I was a child then

If I were prosecuting I would point the jury to the bystanders' cries to the likes of you're killing him and the victim's last words I can't breathe.

What a load of manure this business of how it's all some sort of conspiracy. Power-happy cops aren't a conspiracy, they're a fact of life.

[golux]

Don’t worry, buddy. It’s all a big conspiracy to make your LEO overlords look bad. God Bless the Police, Fire, FBI, TSA, IRS, and all others with badges and guns who protect our freedom! I would be so grateful to lick their boots... If only I could get my tongue through this mask!

Again, Twitter ... is ..... not ..... reflective ....... of ....... reality.

97% of political tweets come from less than 10% of users and those 10% are overwhelmingly leftist freaks.

Twitter is a leftist sewer and full of group think.

According to Twitter:

Hilliary! Was going to win in a landslide.
Trump was going to be removed.
Kavanaugh was not going to be confirmed.
Brexit was never going to happen.
Jeremy Corbin was going to win in a landslide.

At what point will you stop believing that echo chamber?

"I’m a big Trump fan but this sounds like a backtrack for sure"

I think anytime someone starts a post with "I'm a big Trump fan" they don't understand how Trump speaks. In this particular case the two tweets are the same thing. He didn't change or backtrack.

[pnut22]

I’m not going anywhere.

[mass55th]

Sorry you feel the need to pre-judge people, and condemn all people in uniform. Did you know that the neck restraint used by the cop is taught by the Minneapolis Police Department as an authorized use of restraint? I’ll wait until the autopsy result comes out, and it’s officially declared that Floyd died as a result of that restraint.

[mass55th]

Asphyxiation not the cause of George Floyd's death: Autopsy

[Enlightened1]

Exactly!

[golux]

Did you know that the neck restraint used by the cop is taught by the Minneapolis Police Department as an authorized use of restraint?

Then the Chief has been lying to the media. NPR reported this morning that he said that it was not authorized. Now I see that it is. I truly don't feel the need to "pre" judge people.

If I am killing a loser perp I take my F'n knee off his neck... I don't keep it there like a power-happy douchebag while people are begging me to stop and the guy is F'n sputtering and dying.

Ahh, but then again, though I have served, I don't wear a badge: I am just a lowly citizen.

Yes, of course the cause wasn't asphyxiation. Maybe he had booze in his system and he surely would have died that very moment had a LEO fag not had his knee on his neck for five minutes.

Surely a big superior man like a police officer could withstand the weight of a man on his neck against the pavement without blinking.

God Bless all men and women with badges! They are ALL heroes! Thank you!
