"Every Floyd cop....."
Gonna be real here, if the guy defending you only knows you as "murdered-person cop", i have a feeling your conviction was solid.

I'm no longer really shocked by the open racism and frankly just stupidity of right wingers
But openly defending cops who, on video, knelt on a man's neck until he died for the POTENTIAL crime of using counterfeit currency and were convicted in an American courtroom where cops are essentially immune to consequences... it would almost be as hard to defend as a rogue nation bombing children and incinerating them alive... oh...
I think I just keep blocking them from my mind because it's so stupid and enraging to be aware that these dipshits exist in any amount greater than zero.
That trump pic is pretty funny though I'll give them that one
"but... but... he did drug 🥺"
DRUG?!
Name someone who murdered a black person (or white person in solidarity) in cold blood they haven't defended?
They're nazis.
I mean they defend them all, of course. The only thing different with Floyd was it was fully recorded and the method of execution was so cruel and clear to anyone with a shred of empathy. It didn't have the normal hang ups for the dumbass pro-cop crew like defending gun usage. It didn't have any sort of "resistance" at all by Floyd that they always twist in justification for murder. His "crime" was something most people would ask "why would cops even dispatch for that...?"
All of this was true at the time and it was so clearly a murder that I remember most right wingers kinda shutting their mouths for a long time. Like a combined knowledge that this one wasn't defensible. Once the cop was arrested and the trial came along and then conviction you got more and more and more vocal right wingers. I guess it was one thing to say nothing while an obvious murderer got fired. It was too much, for them, to see the murderer facing consequences. Cops and Israel... two entities that can NEVER face scrutiny or consequences.
It’s okay honey I promise a lot of us are there with you. Trust me I was raised by mentally ill conservatives, nothing surprises or disappoints me about what is out there. Some humans….dont deserve the name
I'll never forget the night where the news broke that they found the cop guilty. My coworker decided to look up the definition of second degree murder and went "how do you even determine that (something about mens rea or pre-meditation)?" I didn't know her well enough to say out loud (and am a coward), but I had this absolutely clarified thought "your peers determine it in a court room"
I'll always have room for disdain for people who never think the leopard will eat their face.
That's literally a child's question
And unsurprisingly expressed by many grown ass republicans/conservatives/libertarians/right wing generally people
"Yeah, but you can't prove I intended to kill my wife's boyfriend when I shot at the bed in the place he slept! Maybe I meant to warn him! Maybe the gun without by accident!"
And not to go too hyperbolic with it, but it's the same logic people use to deny genocides, especially the Holocaust in the past and right now the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. An often cited thing about the Holocaust is we don't have a direct order from Hitler to Himmler that says "hey, kill all the Jews. Thanks."
So people do these somersaults and shit to basically say that how can you condemn Hitler and the Nazis generally for doing the Holocaust (assuming they admit to the death count or anything close to it) when you can't prove he ordered anything or even knew about it. As if Himmler and his SS and all the other officials in the third reich were just rogue actors, not representative of the state or the German people... I mean it takes a truly motivated mind to cope that hard.
If the standard for evidence is outright admission then perhaps no genocides have ever occurred ever (except Israel's because they're incredibly incompetent and literally just admitted to it). Perhaps no murders have ever happened except the ones where a person wrote down or made a video like "hello, I am now going to shoot this guy until he dies. I am murdering him. Thank you."
It's just child brain shit resulting from some desire to be special, to think you're clever, that if you never admit to anything then no one can credibly accuse you of anything. They know this isn't how life works. But good luck convincing someone who built an entire fictional world where they get to do anything they want in their head that they're just delusional and dumb. We all have our copes in life, but framing your entire view of justice and law around "you have to prove he meant to do it. And you can't, so, haha he can't be guilty!" is definitely an odd one.

We can't assume that Israel is intentionally killing civilians, but we can absolutely assume that Hamas wants their own people to die to make Israel look bad, to the point that they'd literally blow up their own hospitals. Does their evil know no limits?
for a 
kneeling on 
neck until he dies
Trump dies AND they hate cops
100% for this
My coworker just told me the courts changed specifically for Trump and now juries no longer have to be unanimous. lmao ok sure yeah, now you hate courts and cops
Every single count was unanimous.
Like not to defend to us court system but don't be such a dumbass that I look like a moron if I don't correct you.
Yeah I realize they were unanimous. Some kind of odd rumor going around maga/qanon social media that the juries only needed to declare 12 guilty verdicts in total across the 34 convictions, rather than unanimous verdicts on all 34.
their lore is so bonkers
My mom said “theyre trying to set a precedent to do this to us!” Idk what new enforcement of laws that will emerge from this that will effect/target broke white trash idiots in east tx like my family and everyone they know but I’m assured it’s very serious
From this moment onward it's no longer legal to commit low level white collar crime in the state of New York by falsifying documents about how $30,000 was spent. This is a deeply grave matter that will result in outlawing white christianity
"I'm gonna give you $100 to fuck off"
"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!"
More like
"I'm going to give you $100 dollars to fuck off"
"OK that's fine"
"And I'm going to have my lawyer pay you so there's no direct line to me"
"Yea makes sense"
"Then I'll pay him back later"
"OK yea sounds good"
"And I'm going to do it with money I collected as explicit political donations for campaign expenses"
"Believe it or not there's actually nothing wrong with that"
"But I'm going to lie what those campaigns funds were actually used for"
"OK that actually is technically illegal now"
I ask as someone who has spared themselves any coverage besides brief mentions on tiktok: he has 34 felony convictions now, right? It sounded like much more than being mistaken about campaign funds.
Deeply unserious country
IIRC it's 34 times he did the same thing.
"Sir, a 34th woman has come out with a credible claim of sexual harassment"
It's funny, but not funny haha
There are few things that reveal your privellage more than saying "this might set the precedent of people getting charged with crimes even if they're innocent"
Setting aside the fact that he could not possibly be more very obviously guilty.
His entire business strategy has been "fuck people over and take advantage of the fact rich white people don't get charged with crimes" for 40 years, he's gonna end up getting "house arrest" that extends to any of hit properties or rallies or campaign events and these dumb shits still complain about not being treated well enough.
Isn't 0.5 % (1 in 200) of america in prison already?
Pre-COVID it was about 1%, now it's about .6%. Good improvement, but still one of the world's highest, and notably 4-5 times more than China.
Pre-COVID it was about 1%, now it's about .6%.
theyre in a better prison now in upstate new york playing with all the other inmates
I wish.
Lmao America
I haven't laughed this hard at the Internet in a while. Thank you AI Cornrows Donald.
Got this text yesterday. They're definitely not mad about it lmao

The best use of AI to date, this is amazing.
Get Out was a documentary
WHAT IS IT THE BRAIDS?
Stereotype of Black hair style.because George Floyd is Black. Trump is George Floyd. If you don't vote for Trump then you ain't Black.
They want people to riot over this to get pumped to vote for nothing but fumes. No policy...just revenge fumes and implanted victimhood for Hier Drumpfaustein.
I was just quoting euphoria, one of Kendrick's Drake diss tracks

My name is Donald J. Trump. I'm 77 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Palm beach, where all the villas are, and I am married. I work as the rightful ruler of the United States, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink diet Coke. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there's noone healthier than me at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any haters, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
as much as I wish donald trump or any other billionaire died in a chokehold by a cop in the USA, that did not happen today.
if the pig who murdered george floyd promised to do that, I would support his release from prison on the condition that he must go find a billionaire and murder them in a chokehold on the ground while they cry out for their mama and plead "I can't breathe."
Those cornrows are way too thick for that toupee
