Derek Chauvin Guilty

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

📞 999 what’s your emergency?

Someone's hangin' in me living room and I think he’s dead.

Well it’s not a living room any more, innit.

Even handcuffed, a large man like Floyd can hurt an officer.
With three guys holding him face down, hands behind his back and him not breathing then apparantly dead? He sounds terrifying.
None of it would of happened if he just did what he was told & didn't pass dodgy notes!
And you think that justifies the level of force used? Thousands of cops around the world everyday manage to use appropriate force to arrest people and when they go beyond what's reasonable and appropriate they should be held accountable, as this guy is.

ps, earlier post re history of white lynching was a quote, not mine
I just found it interesting after 'D bought it up.
more..

The vast majority (79 percent) of lynchings occurred in the South. Mississippi had the highest number of lynchings from 1882-1968 with 581, Georgia was second with 531, and Texas was third with 493. For blacks, most of the lynchings occurred in the South. Of the lynchings that did not take place in the South, most occurred in the West, and these were often lynchings of whites, not blacks. Note that for whites, it was equally likely that they would be lynched in Colorado (65) as Kentucky (63), Mississippi (42) as California (41), or Oregon (20) as West Virginia (20). Ninety percent of whites were lynched in nine states mostly in a swath from Montana, to Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Ninety percent of blacks were lynched in the four Southern states of Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana. Whites and blacks were lynched in “relatively equal” numbers in New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri.

The worst year for whites was 1884 when 160 whites were lynched. For blacks, the highest number of lynchings occurred in 1892 when 161 were lynched. Three-fourths of all white lynchings occurred in the 14-year span from1882-1895. It took 28 years (1882-1909) for three-fourths of all black lynchings. There seems to have been a relative decline in lynchings generally beginning in 1901.

The lynching data are interesting, but the last lynching of a Black man was 50+ years ago.

Meanwhile, the US is currently facing a massive increase in homicide, with Blacks wildly overrepresented. This seems a more pressing issue.

Easy fix for that. Confiscate undocumented firearms and make everyone have a license if they can demonstrate a need to own a weapon and competency to handle it.

Sure, blame inanimate objects and punish the law abiding.

Having said that, you raise an interesting question. We've seen a huge surge in Black mass shootings but where are these guns coming from?

Ah.
