So this was personal, not racial, all along.

What a shame media outlets and Democrats never wait for the facts.

johnny, lots of racist whites argue with blacks. Lots of racist cops encounter blacks and argue with them.

You don't have the foggiest idea whether Chauvin was racist from your not-even-interesting factoid about Chauvin and Floyd.

You keep pretending you know something about Chauvin's motives when you don't know jack shit. In other words, you are behaving just like all apologists for racism behave. You keep trying to excuse the inexcusable.

What a shame johnforbes doesn't understand the few facts he does wait for.

This isn't the sum total of the case, that's for sure.

But it is a fascinating angle that they knew and disliked each other.

It is just as interesting that Floyd was apparently high on meth, a career criminal with a history of violent armed robbery which he was sentenced to 5 yrs in prison for.

It still seems that Chauvin used excessive force and that some charge like manslaughter would be appropriately lodged.

Murder 2? That's more iffy, and overcharging -- as in the Freddie Gray case -- could mean no conviction.

johnny, it is neither "fascinating" nor even "interesting" that they knew each other or that Floyd might have been high.

It is not relevant to the protests and it changes nothing.

No one is protesting that a cop was enforcing the law, so Floyd's criminality is not the issue. They are protesting that Chauvin killed someone under cover of his badge after the suspect was handcuffed and no threat to anyone.

And it clearly wasn't manslaughter. It was intentional on Chauvin's part who knew for several minutes that Floyd had no pulse and Chauvin still did nothing. You can't 'accidentally' keep you knee on someone for three minutes after being told he has no pulse. To not call for help under those circumstances becomes intentional. Chauvin thought about it and still didn't respond. Watch him in the video.

Clown, you are making the point that it may have been personal after all...
Then it follows that blaming and abolishing the entire police department is not the answer...

[Clownkicker]

^^^^^^ Why is it that conservatives just can't apply logic in their so-called 'thought'?

That one was so illogical and non sequitur in several ways it's on a par with johnforbes' screwed up reasoning.

[johnforbes]

If it was two people who disliked each other, then why were towns burned and looted?

100 percent of people agree that you should arrest Floyd, not kill him en route to jail.

[Clownkicker]

What part of that don't you understand, johnny?

No one has done a thing about such deaths for decades. You are a perfect example of the response they get whenever it happens, which is, you do nothing but make excuse for why the victim is dead at the hands of police.

They are pissed at you, johnny. You're insufferable.

[johnforbes]

No way, Jose.
