What's your reason to think he wouldn't? Originally Posted by Strokey_McDingDong

When you're being filmed, killing a white man, unnecessarily, it usually leads to a murder charge.

Again, the only reason people believe it was a hate crime is based off of statistics of past events which gives a higher probability for a black person to be killed by police (but does not say racism is the motive) and that Derek is white and George is black.

I don't have any good reason to assume that Derek is a KKK member or that he contributed to the death of George solely because of skin color.

Racial profiling. Not racist! Its descriptive,

When a person goes shopping for a car or shirt etc.. Do they go into the office and say Id like to look at the 2021 Dodge Ram when theres 20 in the lot? No they will give a description and color or be asked for that info.

When anyone gets "filmed" killing someone it does usually lead to charges.

floyd was not killed!

Please keep on though with the divisive rhetoric! Proves my point!

Explain it away all you want, we all know you’re a racist. You’re just sadly ashamed to admit it with your words. You just let actions speak for you. I say follow the lead of a couple of the other ECCIE Idiots and be loud and proud with it. Almost Nothing is worse than a closet racist.

Lol. What did WD say that makes him a racist?

If anything, you should say that he is ignorant to racism and has never encountered it before, and by not acknowledging racism, he is in fact being racist LOL.

That's the usual line of thinking, right?
No, he’s an actual racist.

Answer this question honestly. If Derek Chauvin had been kneeling on a white man's neck, who repeatedly said "I can't breath", would Derek Chauvin have continued kneeling, until the man died, while being filmed? Originally Posted by pfunkdenver

yes. he would have done it to me if I resisted. Chauvin was following procedure. he stopped when floyd stopped resisting.

floyd died because he overdosed on fen.
I stand by what I wrote in the other thread. Proof above.
