The totally cool no stress US election thread

Where is the answer to my question?
Again you're missing the dichotomy, because you lack context, for example:
  • They kneel in the US for the anthem, refused to play because of so called systemic injustices.
  • Yet when an NBA coach supported Hong Kong protesters fighting for their liberty; they attacked him, docked his pay and apologised to China.
  • NBA has youth training camps in China; where there has been many incidents of child abuse by the chinese coaches; not one word about it from the NBA, and they haven't shut down the camps.
  • China's CCP ongoing human rights abuses; yet they do not sever all ties with the CCP
Why... because China is very profitable for the NBA.
i.e. they put their profits before morality -- hence no consistency and why they cannot claim moral high ground.

Same applies to many of the woke pandering companies e.g. Nike, Google, Apple, etc.

Those shot, injured or killed also had that right. Didn't work so well for them.
People who don't resist arrest, assault police, don't draw a weapon on police, etc. -- don't get shot.

There is a reason why police are quick to react; and why they are trained to shoot centre mass i.e. kill shot. If you took the time to watch some of the police incidents gone wrong; where police officers were murdered by the perpetrator they were trying to arrest, then you would understand,.

Here's a near-fatal example:

Did Floyd resist when a cop was kneeling on his neck?

Nope... if you want to claim the moral high ground; then be consistent...
My morals don't change depending on whether its SA or another country, and I never put profits before what's morally right.

Yes, before that... he resisted a lot; just watch the body cam videos that were leaked.
He was immobile on the ground pinned by three or four cops. Kneeling on someones neck and killing them is not justified no matter what unarmed feeble resistance he may have given before.

By your thinking they should have just shot him in the first place, problem solved.

It's worked for me and my friends... 28 years married; mutual respect is its own reward.

If they are consistent they can't moan only about China, right?

You leaping to huge conclusions -- nope, he should have cooperated; remember he broke the law by resisting arrest.
...and we're not even touching on the defense's argument i.e. fentanyl.

He's dead.

Do you agree?

Funny how Droid has now become an expert on police procedures as well...

Why was a cop kneeling on him... because he resisted arrest. If he never arrested, then that would have never happened. Watch the videos; the officers were very respectful up to the point that he started fighting + he was complaining of not being able to breath from the get go, long before he attacked them. That's a symptom of fentanyl overdose.

Yeah but it didn't work out for Joe, Susan and Frank who did the same. See where I'm going with this?
If you think cops get it right all the time then you're a gullible guy.
What I can say is this, America is blowing this police brutality against black folk thing completely out of proportion
