    Probably trying to protect half of their money from being sued by the Floyd family. @ThatBoyNick

    I had the exact same thought. Are we sure they are not related (instead of just having been friends)?

    I did see a video that showed them trying to put him in the squad and then take him back out and then they put him in the ground. You hear the LE say in the main video they tried putting him in the car and that didn’t work. My guess is that they felt Floyd wasn’t cooperating or said something that set the LE off. The technique is a restrain technique but also a compliance technique as the pain it causes is meant to make the suspect more cooperative.

    I'm pretty sure Coulter is criticizing Trump for not taking immediate military action to quash the protests.

    The more facts are coming out, the more I’m leaning towards personal beef and Chauvin being one psychotic and sadistic cop that ended Floyd’s life the way it did. The racist charge is always being thrown around first and unfortunately it is the one that’s stoking the flame and destroying a community. I’m not saying Chauvin is not a racist or is one, but let’s slow this one down and not pour more gasoline into the fire. Chauvin married a Hmong ex beauty queen and radiologist, he and Floyd worked security for the same restaurant/club. Why do I get the feelings the more they dig deep, we will find that they did cross paths and it was personal?

    Anytime that you can not express yourself and hurl a racist charge towards others, you’ve already lost the argument.

    Why so quick on the racist charge bro? So you know what’s in the heart of another person?

    Um, that dude has a history with his post. The guy is a Bigot, plain and simple. There are a number of posters on this board that qualify.

    ...you know another thing...

    ...Floyd is (sorry, didn't mean that) WAS about 6'4" tall...

    ...if the officers were having trouble getting him into the patrol car...why not just sit him on the curb and ask for a wagon?

    ...I know (especially recently) the police have been...encouraged...to not be overly concerned with the well-being of detainees...

    ...but that seems like a fairly routine measure to take...they've put much smaller persons into paddy wagons before...

    I am no Coulter fan but the initial tweet said bring justice nothing, I don't see what that has to do with military action.

    Seems you were right, I should have known better.

    She is really going in on Trump, that's very telling, she knows his time is limited.

    Her 2024 ticket is Desantos/Kobach. :eek:
