Wrong.
There is no medical PROOF yet that the cop's actions were the SOLE CAUSE of his death.
And they don’t understand why Kapernick took a knee.

His death might have possibly been aided by a life of abusing his body with booze, cigarettes, drugs etc.
We don't know enough to draw conclusions yet.
Apparently that doesn't stop you, though.

If it comes out that this guy's system was full of cocaine and his heart exploded.... 90% of the blacks and most on the left would still want these cops charged

What frustrates other professionals who work in dangerous fields of work (and mine is more dangerous than being a police officer) is that when we cross that line and commit an egregious act of negligence, incompetence or malice, you are held to account by your own profession first. All to often when police officers commit such acts they hide behind politics and a good ole boy system that protects them from accountability. What is somewhat encouraging here is that they were swiftly fired.

I have watched several of my African American friends teach their kids exactly that. I don’t blame them though I don’t think racism is the whole sum of the problem either. A large part of the problem is the militarization of our police.

The difference here might be are people who are incompetent in your field breaking the law? Because by essentially murdering this guy the cops were breaking the law and that goes beyond any internal punishment.
I'll probably get sh*t on for saying this but police officers have a union and unions protect their workers, often even the worst ones. Just like its hard to fire bad teachers I'm sure its not easy firing bad cops. I'm sure many of us would like to see the union hold police officers more accountable but they get paid to defend them and thus reform and changes is very/extremely difficult.
I've never belonged to a union but to me that's your trade-off. Unions protect their workers and that includes the poor/bad ones.
And this is why it continues to happens.
White people refusing to believe it's racism. shrugging shoulders
Not sure you really understand the meaning of the word "coincidence".
If the man's health was shot due to years of drug abuse, any kind of stress could have killed him.
The point is that we don't know one way or the other.
But jumping to knee-jerk conclusions makes some people feel better I guess.

He was a althlete........you racist fuck.
A coach in the community.
Why is it always Black people fault when they are murdered by racist whites?
That's what I meant: it was smart for Colin to leverage his platform for maximum impact. It would have been stupid for him to stand in front of a police station.
But obviously, not everyone has the tools and platform available to them that Colin had
The cop kept his knee there long after Floyd quit moving. It was excessive force, not natural causes, far from natural causes. When he wasn’t responsive, they could have at least rolled him on his side.
Police unions are the only unions racist whites like.
They are not the same as regular working people unions.............but im sure you know that.
