be proud of history / contribution / potential

Unless you're white, then you must die, racist scum.

Your path to redemption is assured by becoming a traitor to your own whiteness, and a lot of kneeling - not the Chauvin type of kneeling, however.

PS, as the facts have come up, I am convinced that Police Officer Derek Chauvin did absolutely nothing wrong - he followed procedure and it's all on video.

Myself, all video, and the official autopsy report concur with your opinion on Officer Chauvin.

If what Chauvin (and the other two guys, to a lesser degree) did is according to policy, than Minneapolis is way outside the normal best practice standards. He did seem pretty comfortable being recorded doing it, though, so it may be a passable interpretation of local policy.

In any case, the forensic reports are packed with reasonable doubt if not outright exoneration. Chauvin didn't cause pulmonary edema, heart failure, or drug overdose

There's literally power point training presentations of the restraint technique taught to the MPD. The knee on the neck makes for great yellow journalism but it has nothing whatsoever to do with Floyd's death.

If that's the case, there isn't much argument. In my area, there was nothing like that. My former co-workers and I were having a hard time figuring out what they were doing. If the department trains them to do that, though, there's hardly anything to discuss.
