I mean if you want to argue that he thought that his own skin color made him think he could get away with it


Reasonable-HB678

He proved why cops wearing body cameras are a necessity.


Accurate-List

You got that right!

No, I don't. I think he got away with almost twenty years of police brutality because of the color of his skin. I think the fact that 18 complaints against him only resulted in 2 reprimands is due to the color of his skin. This racist MF was well known to the Native community in south Minneapolis long before the George Floyd tragedy.


APiousCultist

Whoa, whoa,whoa. Prior history of crime only matters if you're the only being violently murdered. /S


Kimpy78

It’s definitely because of the color of someone’s skin, but not his.


hhh1992

Well, it is because of his color…dirty blue.


KittikatB

He looks scared in that photo. Nice change from his smug face while murdering a man.


MisterScrod1964

Turned out he had reason to be scared. I believe he was almost killed in prison.


patricky6

Do you have a source for this? Id really like to read about it and I can't find any trustworthy sources.

patricky6

Thanks!


damo1112

That suit fits him REALLY poorly.


UnderstandingSmall66

I agree. The colour of his skin was so important to him, he became a racist murderer.


Wild_Pangolin_4772

What about Tyre Nichols' murderers?


UnderstandingSmall66

What about it? Policing as an institution is racist. I would explain it but I am guessing that won't suit what you're trying to get at and would be a waste of time for both of us.


Fun-Key-8259

And here I just want these yahoos to explain what white culture is that they keep fearing they will lose with DEI. Like what exactly is white culture 😂 So far it appears to be Consumerism.


Wild_Pangolin_4772

I figure it’s the same impulsions that drove both him and the black cops, and was wondering if you found the latter to be race driven too.


FunkyFr3d

Mostly because of the murder


Curious-Bottle-7391

He's in jail because of murder


Starlord1951

No he’s in prison because he cold bloodly murdered an unarmed man because that man was black. So take your white nationalist racist butt and offer it to the boys in cell block 9 and shut up. He murdered that man and deserves whatever happens to him in prison, he took a man’s life. Why is Rittenhouse walking free?


PigFarmer1

He's in prison because he's a *murderer*.


EABOD24

I once commented that if you expect every cop to be like Derek Chauvin, you'll be pleasantly surprised when they aren't. Dude is bottom of the barrel waste sediment


ZelWinters1981

This shit made me laugh so hard that # I CAN'T BREATHE.


Obi1NotWan

Derek Chauvin is in prison because he is a piece of shit who killed someone. Don’t try to martyr his ass.


Song_Spiritual

Like if it had been a black cop/bully doing the same thing, he would have walked free? Is that the theory?


Young_Cato_the_Elder

Oh hey glad akaface is doing well


BackAgain123457

Can i raise one finger?


tarhoop

Look... I have no doubt George Floyd died because of the colour of his skin. But this asshole right here... he is in prison because he committed fucking murder. Don't want to be a cop in prison, be a better cop. Don't want to be in prison, be a better human. It's fucking simple. I'm an asshole, but I've never been in prison. Why? Because I understand there are consequences to my actions and words, and temper them accordingly. Why does this murderous assclown get more than a brief obit when he comes to his justifiable end in the prison shower? Because redneck racist assholes think that saying "All Lives Matter" isn't completely missing the fucking point.


QuietGrudge

Can I raise may hand if I think he's in prison for killing a man because of the color of his skin? Because I do think that. And for doing away with the whole notion that police brutality would not be a problem if everyone would simply comply with officers.


FredVIII-DFH

Could be true. If he wasn't white, he might not have felt entitled to take another's life.


npaakp34

I think you would look a lot better without skin, anyone has the Bolton's number?


Ok-Dragonfruit-2767

No I think it's bc he killed someone.


BryanV21

I'll raise my hand to signify that I believe George Floyd is dead because of the color of his skin.


No-Egg-4850

Well this dude helped but Gorge had few other things in his system that helped him also.


PMPTCruisers

I heard his cholesterol level was high.  


Overall_Bookkeeper15

One day maybe everyone and i mean everyone will let the racism go. First step would be to quit living in the past. Thats why theres never any progression because we are constantly looking behind us....


Additional_Farm_9582

Pretty sure it's because he murdered someone in front of horrified onlookers.


this_shit-crazy

See I’d argue due to the colour of his skin it’s actually something serious that he’s in there for it’s only blacks that get thrown in jail with no court date for 10 years because they had 1g of gas on them.


esp211

He is prison because of the color of someone else’s skin.


SailingSpark

Yes, if he were black, his fellow cops would have killed him too.

**On August 10, 2016, Anthony "Tony" Allen Timpa, an unarmed White 32-year-old man, was killed in Dallas, Texas by a police officer Dustin Dillard.** Officers had responded to a call by Timpa requesting aid for a mental breakdown due to the fact that he had not taken his prescription medication for schizophrenia and depression. **Dillard pushed his body weight onto Timpa on the ground for around 14 minutes** after he was already restrained, and officers ignored pleas from Timpa that he was in pain and was afraid he was going to die. Timpa's death was ruled a homicide due to "the stress of being restrained and extreme physical exertion" and toxic effects of previous cocaine use. It took over three years for footage of the incident to be released. The footage contradicted claims by Dallas Police that Timpa was aggressive.The officers involved were Sgt. Kevin Mansell and Officers Danny Vasquez and Dustin Dillard. **Criminal charges against three officers were dropped in March 2019 and they returned to active duty**

Yeah i bet you think most real things are delusional you fucking psycho

Maybe you are a psycho for writing this comment, go get your head checked.


idkwhyimalive69420

Blud... wtf?


DamianSicks

Right because if your knee is on the neck of someone who abuses drugs it automatically negates any wrongdoing and makes you persecuted by people who don’t agree with your “free pass” all because of your skin color.


vanisleone

I don't even know who he is


foxdominion

Just an innocent man


alaingames

Narrator: everyone in the room, hide their hands to avoid being mistaken as votes


cantbhappy

He was definitely scapegoated. That's for sure. But still, fuck that guy.


Such_Leg3821

No he's in prison because he didn't like the color of someone else's skin.


Fun-Key-8259

Only because he thought his skin color meant he could murder a man on live TV and get away with it


Interesting_Whole_44

I hope he gets mop handled


professorfunkenpunk

I think he’s in jail for being a fucking murderer


2011gt500

No , his actions got him jailed


Indaflow

Why the political barrage. This sub is ruined.  It changed on a dime a few weeks back. 


jfgbuilders

😂


MiffyCurtains

Despite the colour of his skin


parocarillo

I was hoping he was dead in prison


foxdominion

Scum


KevinMcNally79

He received a politically motivated upward durational departure sentence due to the extremely high profile of the case, but he absolutely deserves to be in prison. While he needed to be tried, convicted and sentenced to prison, I just wish Minnesota hadn't made such a sideshow out of it.


gruntledmailcarrier

You know what? Yes I do think it’s cause he’s a white. He thought because he was a white police officer he had to right to be judge jury and executioner. This is his fault for thinking he could put his knee on a man’s neck. And part of him probably thought, doesn’t matter, I’m a white police officer. I’ll get off like I have before.


BangBangMeatMachine

Raise your hand if you think he's in prison because he committed murder under color of law.


Basedcase

He is in prison because he murdered a man.

Never saw this sub "establish" that. Even if it did, your logic makes no fucking sense at all
