That cellphone clip was fucked up, for 7 minutes, kneeling on his carotid arteries. That cop had to know he was killing the guy, no one is that stupid.

By the end of this year, we're not gonna have enough fingers to point at each other with.

State police. And city police. Either way, they both work for a corporation. They are "Legal" henchmen and don't even know it.

Pretty crazy how people don't seem to mind the fact that your house being robbed or broken into can require up to an hour for a police response, maybe more. Why isn't it the same with banks?

They murdered that guy. Overtly. They had to know what was happening.

If someone wanted to manufacture a protest, then this would be a guaranteed way to make it happen.

It will be interesting to see if something unusual occurs at/after the protest(s).

The avery thing was manufactured and you could tell right away. The video showed avery attacking the guy and getting shot in the process, yet the news was reporting that this was just some random guy jogging and he was hunted and shot for no reason. And all the comments were people seemingly ignoring all the facts to be outraged.

This on the other hand is far more cut and dry. You can argue that the part where he was resisting arrest was cut out, but there doesn't seem to be a huge misrepresentation of what is going on.
