    His head was only white, across the middle of his face.

    You can't blame the police for that one.

    Top source.

    Also what does one of the blokes he shot allegedly being a ***** have to do with the fact he indiscriminately shot him?

    How many white blokes get shot 7 times in the back in front of their kids like? Point to one.

    I think many white people get shot in the USA.

    It just don't make headlines.

    Same as many black people get shot and it doesn’t make the headlines.

    Getting shot 7 times in the back was patently worthy of note though, so made the press.

    White boy walks down street with a big fook off gun, and gets a pat on the back.

    Black man reaches into car, and gets shot in the back seven times.

    Black man lays on ground, unarmed and cuffed, he says he can't breath, but slowly and gradually has the life sucked out of him by a cop.

    They're trained to shoot to bring the suspect down.
    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/why-police-shoot-so-many-rounds-trnd/index.html

    It's easy now but put yourself in the cops position. They were called by his girlfriend so it wasn't racial. He resisted two male cops and one female, even after being tasered he still went to get in his car.

    You're that cop. It could be him or you and your colleagues.

    You say about 7 shots. I ask why he resisted? If he had done what he was told he would be in prison now, not in a hospital.
    The important thing is that it's not your colour, it's your behaviour when dealing with the police.

    You didn’t answer my question.

    Point to one.

    Also you have no idea what went through that coppers mind, and yet here’s you declaring definitively it wasn’t anything to do with race.

    Funny that.

    What about the black guy who had the life sucked out of him on the ground, what behaviour was he demonstrating that justified his death?

    Actually he walked towards the police with his hands up. I've no idea why they didn't pick him up there and then but there's nothing about a grin.

    Have you seen the full George Floyd video? He was saying he couldn't breathe the whole time. That's why he didn't want to get in the car. The police offered to open the window but he kicked off.
    I'm not trying to justify what the cop did but it isn't as clear cut when you see the full video.

    If they are trained then why didn't they arrest the guy walking down the road with an assault rifle?

    This has been put up more than once ... but still doesn't equate to being shot 7 times in the back in front of your kids as you lean into a car with them inside it ...

    Exactly yet many are happy to believe that all 3 were racist and just decided to execute the black man.

    I posted a Twitter thread about white suspects killed by cops.
    I said it wasn't racial because his girlfriend called the police. It wasn't a targeted arrest.
    He did have an outstanding warrant so was liable to be arrested.

    As I said I don't know. There were a lot of gunshots if you watch the many videos. He wasn't resisting, he was giving himself up.

    So your point being the US police are just untrained thugs who kill regardless of colour?

    What about when he was told by the national guard he was doing a great job and given bottles of water?
