Sorry. Not sorry.

Why can't Black people just get over centuries of brutal chattel slavery, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow laws, discrimination, poverty, the for-profit incarceral state, slave patrols, confederate glorification, etc, etc?

That they never experience personally.

Where's the gratitude? Sheesh!

Ali replied, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!" There is a characteristic mischievous pungency to Ali's remark, yet it also expresses a widely held sentiment. Ali recognizes that for all the horror of slavery, it was the transmission belt that brought Africans into the orbit of Western freedom.

You trying to label me as myopic or incapable falls flat.

A quote from the low-budget sci-fi/fantasy film The Dungeonmaster, popularized by Adam Savage of Mythbusters, this quote basically means "you may be technically right, but you're not changing my mind." This can come off as stubborn, but it really doesn't matter, since you don't care about the technical "facts".

You're going to need an extraordinary quote to back that extraordinary claim.

It seems not only myopathy is at play here, but a distorting lens on that microscope.

Ohhh, so we need a hundreds-year-old Black person and to ignore the effects and continuation of racial issues.

It seems that you're unaware that you're blaming Floyd for his homicide.

The citizen's behavior is irrelevant to the law enforcement officer's behavior...

Seriously? Consider the citizen's behavior is lying when asked if they have ingested a 4x lethal dose of anything. Could that change their response.

No. Just mentally leaving the plantation. Which is happening today, in large numbers. (See Kanye West, Candace Owens or Kim Klasik)

Suicide by cop has been a thing since the Vietnam era.

A couple of years ago someone over here died in similar fashion, complaining of not being able to breathe with a cop kneeling on his neck. Though he too had used some drugs, the cause of death was oxygen starvation to the brain caused by blocking the arteries in his neck.

We used to be proud of our healthcare system, but rising costs and commercialization have gradually made it less accessible for the less fortunate. So we see an increase of incidents with people who are in the street without proper care or drugs, causing all kinds of trouble, and an already overworked police force having to deal with that.

Use of firearms always gets scrutinized over here so there are hardly any cases of overkill, as the officers know every shot will be analyzed. Yet of course it doesn't always end well.

It isn't predominantly the fault of the police officers, nor their victims. The responsibility lies with the government and the society that put it in its place; a world that does not care enough to do the right thing.

Seriously. It's hard to take you seriously. The only time force is somewhat justified is when necessary for defense and/or to subdue. That isn't the case in this incident; the LEO's behavior is held to a high standard regardless of the citizen's behavior.

Wow, three is a large number. And the list starts off with an intellectual giant.

The "Democrat plantation" argument has raised it's ridiculous head.

Homicide has been around longer.
