Watch the body cam video from when George Floyd was still in car. "I've been rimming" then look up what rimming means in the drug culture. Seems unlikely that this was his first trip back on the chemicals in a year.
Apples and bananas.
True that.
On what basis do you conclude he was trying to control her? The officer struck her from behind as she was running away then he hit her again when she was on the ground. After that he just walked away.
Agreed.
Only as much as warranted. As I'm sure you know, reductio ad absurdum is not a fallacious but rather a valid form in propositional logic.Reductio ad absurdom much?
Not in this case.
There may be no point in arresting her. However, I am unaware of any rule, regulation, law, or Constitutional provision that gives police officers the right or authority to carry out "street justice" because the perp is unlikeable and the DA is a weasel.
Street justice is an exaggeration. More force than necessary? Who's to say? You have no idea what happened beforehand.
Yes, they did sign up for that. A career in LE is a choice and when you make that choice you accept that you will often have to deal with people at their worst while striving to be at your best--that's the job.
With that attitude, you are every bit as bad as the Leftists who justify murder and mayhem in the streets of our cities because "ACAB", etc. and the politicians who demonize people as "better clingers" or "deplorables". You are projecting a mirror image of Antifa and their ilk.
Oranges and grapes.Apples and bananas.
It's all fruit.
Argue by assertion much?Not in this case.
LOL, the whole would you let them shoot them thing was over the top, and not in a good way. Remember, you can get more compliance with a kind word and a nightstick that you could with just a kind word.Argue by assertion much?
You're wrong. Sorry. Given that Portland's political leadership and the Multnomah County DA saw to it, intentionally, that the police were put in a situation guaranteed to push some or all of those police past the human breaking point, that's exactly what he is being charged with. You can call it something else, that doesn't change what it is. I can call a cow a dog, that doesn't make it so. The exact charge is meaningless, it's merely window dressing for a politically inconvenient truth.
That hilarious, but wrong.
No they didn't. Ignoratio elenchi. Everything you wrote after "Yes, they did sign up for that." is all true. And irrelevant. They did not sign up to have their political leaders intentionally put them in an untenable situation for said leader's political gain.
You missed the sarcasm!
After April 16, 1993, if not sooner, a cop would have to be high or profoundly ignorant to assume that any politician has their back. Regardless, their job and their oath don't give them a pass to assault citizens except in lawful self-defense or, as necessary, to make a lawful arrest. There's no bad-politicians-made-me-do-it exception. The larger circumstances surrounding the incident should be considered as mitigating factors in Officer Budworth's favor and perhaps he will be acquitted. Perhaps not.
This right here! It is all a part of the plan, once Mike Schmidt got his seat of power, the whole plan to defund the police was to find a cop, any cop and make an example of them, bring charges and show that cops are all a bunch of racist, dirty, out for blood, power hungry, skull crushing, black killers! And boy did they get what they wanted, and it's all for the agenda of "Defund the Police" and they, Tear Gas Ted, the entire city clowncil, and even the Gov'ness are all in on it!
