Ken Cuccinelli says he believes even if George Floyd had been white his life would not have been spared

[SNIP]

"There are individuals who are racist, they're a small number," he said, adding that "I would suggest that a bigger problem that can be filtered and trained for is simply bullying."

The same guy who said that only “people from Europe” should become citizens?

Sure, he’s an expert on racism.

It happened in 2017 in Arizona.

Daniel Shaver had a pellet gun in his hotel room.

He was murdered in a hotel hallway.

I tried to post a link but I could not get it to work.

It was reported on CNN, CBS, and Inside Edition

If you want to see the video Google man begs for his life.

All 3 videos will come up at the top of the page.

He was acquitted in 2019.

He was reinstated.

He is now being paid 2,500.00 per month for PTSD.

the cops about seeing a man with gun and of course they went in like the Marines. It is like hitting the lottery to ever convict a cop. A few years ago two local cops tazed a man in his 80s for urinating behind a Bush in the park. They claimed he resisted, it took two of them and a tazer to control a guy in his 80s. I am 72 myself, sometimes you gotta go. Funny spell checker insists on capitalizing Bush.

bullies and racists in private life. A guy I grew up with was Sheriff in this county years ago. One time when he was Sheriff he showed me a new snippers rifle he bought for the department. He told me he could shoot a n---- a mile away with it. Then about 10 years ago he ran in the Republican primary for the US Congress. Luckily he never won.

Our tax dollars pay for them to abuse, bully, and kill us.

I am fucking sick of it.

I hate cops.

They are just like Trump.

They take zero responsibility for their actions.

ones. You have good and bad in everything. That's no different than condeming an entire race if one individual kills somebody. Talk like that will get Trump re-elected he has already hitt back on that. That will be part of his act when he resunlmes his Klan rallies.

The good cops have done nothing to stop the bad cops.

They deserve to be condemned.

Defunding does not mean getting rid of cops.

New Jersey is an example.

of cops too. Talk like that will turn the 5 or so percent of independents into Trump voters. I want Trump to lose and big.

Trump is attacking the 75 year old man who was shoved by the police.

He is saying the man was trying to disable police communications and

is part of Antifa.

They were met with cheers when they were released from jail.

If I recall, they didn't even have to pay any bail.

Another cop turned himself in yesterday for beating a protester.

The protester needed 10 staples and 10 stitches in his head.

He was cheered by a crowd as well.

The cops are sick and Trump is intentionally trying to turn them against U.S. citizens.
