Chauvin is exactly who you were told to believe he is.

Chauvin is exactly who the video showed him to be. A murderer. Which I guess makes him a hero of the right wing chuds.

Why are you trying to spin away from the fact that YOU made a mistake, responded to me in error instead of the person you intended to respond to?

I already admitted to the mistake. One that seems to not have made a difference, since both you and Buck knew who I was addressing.

Do you want to run a headline in the NYT about it?

 

[stocker08 10+ year member]

Yep. The big conpsiracy theory. The world was out to make Chauvin look bad.

Hennepin County ME pins the death on a City employee so that the city government and the city employee look bad.
Independent ME pins the death on a City employee so the city government and the city employee look bad.
Defense attorney for the city employee offers nothing more than "cause of death should be classified as unknown" just so the city employee will get convicted, and the city will look bad.
Floyd commits a misdemeanor, knowing that the city employee will restrain him illegally and against department policy, so that the city and the cop will look bad.

Goddamn, that's a whole lot of puzzle pieces that have to fit together to support your conspiracy theory.
And NO ONE has leaked a word of it yet.

But YOU know the whole story.
Good stuff.

Floyd dying while pinned to the ground.....with a knee on his neck.....and people screaming at Chauvin to let him up because he wasn't breathing was all a coincidence. Clearly the work of Soros and Obama.

Just say "My bad" and move on... you don't have to add your sarcastic shit after the fact. That just makes you look like a whiny *****.

Chauvin was sacrificed by Democrats for black votes. End of discussion.

His knee was on his neck, shoulder and back. Floyd's head was turned. He could breathe.

Seriously. He was a criminal.

   • Sentence: Served 5 years in prison (2009–2013, paroled in 2013).
   • Details: Floyd was accused of entering an apartment in Houston with five other men, impersonating a water department worker, and holding a pistol to a woman’s stomach while searching for items to steal. The victim was not confirmed pregnant, despite some claims. Floyd pleaded guilty to avoid a potential 40-year sentence if convicted at trial. He maintained to friends he was not guilty but took the plea deal due to concerns about an unfair trial.

I've never claimed to be a moderate.

You haven't seen any corruption, extortion, or shitting on the constitution? You could have ended your post here before continuing to flail around trying to claim to not be a bootlicker. Team Blue is pro-crime! Good thing we have justice warrior, Trump!

lol, get real.

And this is why you aren't taken seriously? What corruption, who is getting extorted, I'll ignore the incredibly vauge "shitting on the constitution" but feel free to elaborate. Or just stick with the standard name calling since logic, facts and data appear to a weak point for Team Blue.

He literally died on the ground from lack of oxygen. How many drugs are you yourself taking?

Tak your own advice.

So he deserved to be killed by Chauvin?
Interesting perspective.

So I guess you deserve to be killed for being a criminal?
What about the Demented Diapered criminal? Same?

The point of that is that you defend the hell out of this criminal but you choose to bash Trump. Why defend Floyd, a known and convicted felon?
