@nainani there have been

but they were more localized

not widespread

Breonna Taylor happened before Floyd IIRC.

March? I think? May?

Why did the media decide to report and spread this news during a pandemic?

It's mostly about the media and what they decide to put on the front page so people can know about things. Why weren't people spreading news beforehand?

has the media ever not reported things to gin up tensions and create maximum outrage?

@ImNotGas, you just advanced to level 17!

Arbery was sparking outrage before Floyd IIRC.

So was Taylor.

ah yeah

Floyd was sort of the 'last straw' moment.

It's been sung about for 40 years

50 years, since civil rights movement? I just can't believe it took this long

it's really sad

police should have dropped bodycam footage immediately

but good for now, but I just feel too manipulated by media

To be fair, changes like that take generations after generations.

i have no idea why they didnt with the floyd thing

is it true floyd had corona when he was arrested?

@ImNotGas Ongoing litigation usually and investigations.

Depends on jurisdiction.

@nainani yes that came up in autopsy

I don't like arguing in peoples deaths, but things can be taken out of context all the time

i'd say the officers are culpable for manslaughter, it doesnt look like there was any intent there

there is context, then there is out of context, i am confused because like ACAB, can these ultimatums always be true? can it be true that all cops are racist? or that there is always excessive force? I don't know. People's arguments against this claiming he was overdosing, he had corona. What other reasons than police brutality could he have trouble not breathing. But this just seems too hard to touch. How can we really know what happened unless we were there

someone died. That is enough said. I don't like arguing it

justice always seems to be lacking in these regards

eh?

im not making moral arguments

its going to go to court

and a jury will decide

Justice just doesn't seem to prevail. It's always defense and offense. one word against the other. But you are right we will see

just how people can get off when they were guilty. you shouldn't be able to manipulate the law in this way.

well what you call justice another calls injustice, thats why we have an adversarial system

its not perfect but its the best we humans can come up with

agreed!

Ugh, let's just hope that minority report is the future haha

not! the future omg

Gross neglect can constitute a charge of murder.
