Why would they?

---

Derek Chauvin's arrest and conviction were isolated incidents.

This will keep happening.

Oinks gonna oink

His hands being cuffed behind his back would have been the end of this in a non-clown world

Cop executes man whose hands were handcuffed behind his back. DA doesn't file charges.
Cops "wHy R pEoPlE RioTinG??!?"

Exactly. It was right to celebrate that small victory in the moment. But it didnt solve anything. They used it as a mask they will point to every now and then to claim they have accountability, while letting shit like this continue to slide.

Because he shot someone who was already disarmed and restrained in the head.

There is no justice except for chuck norris

Cops and the courts are all buddies with each other and will protect each other.

I mean, they have IA & the Go-cam it was recorded on & CCTV in holding exactly for stuff like this......

Do you really think he executed the dude out of malice, knowing it was wrong, and that his buddies would cover for him??

I used to be one of the most pro police people I know. This has changed quite a bit as more and more cases like this keep happening.

Yup. Shit like this makes me scarily open to some very extremist views on handling things, and I dont want things to go that way.

yes. Are you new? That kind of shit has been proven to be happening. The entire video of this event every cop was already acting mad and pissy, like they were pissed off that the guy made them work. I dont think he went in from the beginning at the arrest ready to kill the guy but he didnt care at all when he did. He didnt need to. They can make excuses about the other cops gun all they want. He was cuffed and no longer touching the gun at the time he was shot. The cop had time to come in, say a stupid action movie phrase, and center the gun right on his head to avoid the other officers hands. That was done out of frustration and anger, not fear for his life. It wasnt a splint second decision. He took his time there.

"Gill said that while handcuffed, Breinholt took off the shoe and picked it up. When an officer tried to take the shoe, Breinholt twisted in his seat and grabbed Atkin's holstered weapon, according to the district attorney."

Cops are expected to murder a few people now and again, boys will be boys

You also need to be a cop and tell everyone youre a scared little pussy who always fears for his life. Not worth it, man.

with one of his cuffed hands? i mean i guess it's physically possible, just hard to believe with how tripped out the guy was that he'd have the dexterity

He probably made some contact with it but lol @ him grabbing it and actually being a threat

let alone the fact that he clearly was under control with no weapon by the time the guy aimed at his head and shot him

Sorry, no, that was my bad; it was letting my autopilot fingers go unchecked because I'm so used to writing 'race.' I meant to say 'police.' Thanks for checking me, sorry. My bad for not even reading before I post.

I dont think it mentioned it in the link in the OP. I did a little looking, and found an article with a picture.

It's odd because

1) Racism often comes up in Chuck Norris produced media.

Walker: Texas Ranger had episodes dealing with discrimination against Black people and against Native Americans. The Hitman had a subplot involving him mentoring a Black youth who was a victim of bullying. Code of Silence is the single-most relevant film of his you'll find today. It's about a cop who shoots a Black youth and expects to walk because, like the mafia, the cops have their own code of silence.

2) Chuck was a victim of racism himself.

The reason he learned martial arts is because he was bullied for having a White mother and Native American father. Then again maybe that's why he passes for White and goes by Chuck instead of Carlos.

By paternal bloodlines, he should be regarded as Native American.

So, yeah, that was me being on autopilot (which you don't have to believe; I had several days to go back and reread what I'd written), but I had honestly meant 'police,' as I explained/excused/pleaded to the other poster. Norris has been sort of blunt and policey and rar-rar anti-PC stuff in the past. He's a Republican.

That said, I did find him disclaiming presence at the Jan. 6 insurrection (said it was a look-alike). So at least he's not getting rich off that.

That doesn't mean anything. Back in the day, how many celebrities talked up just say no while getting high backstage?

Doesn't mean he can't be one himself.

I don't pay too much attention to celebrities, but hasn't he done and said things over the years that could easily be construed as racist?

It's cool. No reason for me to doubt you.

I didn't know he was allegedly there. lol
I hope he wasn't.

I don't know about a history of racism, but he has been anti-LGBTQ.
