Minneapolis cops slowly murder handcuffed man in front of crowd

One mildly amusing thing amidst this literal dumpster fire is the name of Floyd's murderer: Derek Chauvin. Kind of fitting, considering the political opinions people driven this far by racism have.

_{(off topic, I know, but what's the chance that another famous white supremacist had a surname that literally meant "White Earth"?)}

Instead of admitting that he's a part of the problem, he does this. Sigh.

How about he confront the white supremacists and members of organized crime and do a big spring cleaning in Minneapolis' PD?

What exactly are you protesting at this point?

The guy is charged. Let the justice system play out.

I'll believe it when I see it. I'd like to think that certain people in the justice system won't be so brazen as to try to secure just a slap on the wrist for him, but I don't want to have too high hopes.

By the way, the fact that he's being prosecuted only for a third-degree murder might actually work against him - some say the he should be charged for first-degree murder, because he knew Floyd, but premediation is a very difficult thing to prove and he could still get out of it somehow.

law enforcement: *teaches officers to roleplay as if going on patrol is duck shooting, perpetuates a system of discrimnation, abuse of power and zero accountability for things that would land normal people in jail*

minorities: ACAB!

law enforcement: *shocked pikachu face*

Which minority says ACAB lol?

ACAB is not something minorities generally say. It is more of a generic really young leftist expression of disgust at the police, used by more firmly progressive or even far-left elements that tend to be disproportionately Very Online. Race isn't relevant much insofar as to defining who actually says it.

I actually agree with that - it was mostly a frustrated memey way of saying that they don't like the way cops behave.

In fact, there's almost an inverse correlation between how likely someone is to be harassed/murdered by the police and their inclination towards saying ACAB. Ironic.

An improvised lone wolf terrorist attack vs this. Spot the difference.

I, for one, can't.

Because I'm a masochist, I decided to take a look at r/ProtectAndServe and it turns out those people are just as deranged as I thought. To be fair, some of them did say the maybe, just maybe, not having enough job experience is not a justification for thinking that killing someone is all fine and dandy, but more than enough were saying the opposite.

For context: Lane and Kueng are two of the officers charged with abetting George Floyd's murder.
