17 complaints against him over nearly 20 years of his service, all but one of which ended without disciplinary action.

@tvc184 @Law Man

Is this a typical number of complaints? What would be considered excessive?

Nah... I’m with Arnold all of the way on that one. Whitehead was begging for it and Floyd was not. 
 

One of the best things that I learned in college was written on the wall of the men’s bathroom in the Galloway business building.  Somebody eloquently stated that “Sh!t comes in all hues.” They weren’t wrong. 

Really? Cop kills man for racist rants and you feel it was justified. Did you know he was from the whitest town in texas? Your beloved BC. 

If that's the best thing you learned from your higher education at LU. Congratulations, u mite b more smarter then ne1 thot.

But you’re weeping about how all four police officers are guilty of murder

I only see 1 man refusing to change the course of his actions. Thus resulting in the death of another. If the cop was black and the deceased was white (like your earlier example of Whitehead and arnold) I'd be just as mad at the police brutality and not valuing human life.

Former Iranian president quotes... Tupac?

From the article 

"The scheme of the world powers is to cause disunity in order to keep all societies under control," Ahmadinejad tweeted on Friday. "The killing of #GeorgeFloyd was deeply disturbing & upsetting & is the result of the current world order which we all must unite against. 'Pull the trigger kill a N---- he's a hero.'"

I agree unless rioters use that as an excuse to pillage, plunder and loot. 

I agree that the protest should remain peaceful. Violence is never the answer.

Counterfeiting.....that’s a federal offense.

Not worthy of life in prison or a death sentence. 

Look how well they treated this guy. He's accused of killing someone with a machete.

Wonder what made the difference? Maybe just better cops in Connecticut? 

Or what about this cop from Mississippi?

But suddenly the people that can’t complete a legible sentence on social media are out writing protest signs with anti-capitalist messages without errors?  

Your true feelings about the black community have been obvious from the start. I've heard of being on the fence... but you've got one foot firmly on each side and I doubt its hurting your manhood.

I also think that the knee on his neck didn’t cause his death.

He was definitely in the wrong for holding that man down in the street as he died.

So was the cop responsible for anything? Does the badge excuse his reckless behavior? First and foremost his job is to PROTECT and serve. 

Did you know big floyd? Cocaine in his system? Have you found any evidence of that one yet? Or has your blinded hate compelled you to jump to conclusions about the type of person he was? There's more division inside yourself than you are trying to push upon the rest of us. Some of us can see thru it.

Just check out the graffiti. Good spelling, perfect grammar, decent handwriting

Is it to difficult for you to believe that protestors would be educated?

My real hope is the same that I have every time this stuff kicks off. I really hope none of those fools ever get the idea to bring that mess to the civilized areas. If those type of protestors ever manage to wake up those of us that just sit back and shake our heads, they’re not going to like the way things work out for themselves. 

Is this what your afraid of?

Not a problem.  The Sodomite meaning here is gay

Gotcha. Thought you were referring to another conspiracy. Yes I would visit anywhere I want. That's the freedom of choice we as americans have been blessed with. How long will our freedom last? It's currently being taken from us. One day, one step at a time.

You been there, huh?

How many of those boat races, fishing tournaments, and local celebrations happen in the middle of the night? You get what I’m saying though. Sometimes, whether we like it or not, we are conspicuous by only our presence. You can debate whether that’s right or wrong all you want, but it is the way it is. 

Simple question for you that nobody else will answer. Do you feel like there’s a violence problem in the black community?

Yes, indeed I have, for good and bad. I also have first hand experience of how police have treated both sides. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time isn't a crime. And it sure pisses em off when they cant find nothing to justify the mistreatment of those they feel are guilty. Police are the first step of the justice system. Not the judge, jury, and executioner.

My response was only to show the errors of your ways. Before you, or anyone else, attempts to prove a point, check the facts. Simmons is much different now than it was in my day, and probably yours as well.

Sorry, I will plea the 5th on the last question. Not my place to judge. Not yours either. American society, as a whole, has a violence problem.

Unless Simmons Dr in Orange is closed to non-whites? 

Like all streets in our great nation, it is open to all races. In fact, Simmons drive is host to boat races, fishing tournaments, and many local celebrations. The area is not the above mentioned "track" that some still insist.

What about what he actually said?

Why stop with Obama? Go ahead and pardon Biden now before the election. Now that's a real player move. Chess not checkers

Why not Mike Pence?  Very principled and straightforward and he would have 8 years of foreign relations.

A coworker recently showed me some allegations against Pence. If you think the stories about trump and Biden are bad. It's nothing compared to what has been claimed. Just like you said, he seems like the obvious choice. Yet why are these people going to such extremes to ruin him? Because he's the next man up. It sad what our politcal system has become.

Thanks. Didn’t know how to spell it. Still, I like the way she handles herself. She is not afraid to lay it on the line......very informed, kills the opposition with facts. Hate to put it this way, but she is a black female......two things that favor her tremendously.

No thank you. I never heard of her before. But I'll be looking for more now.
