The story of George Floyd is the story of Trayvon Martin is the story of Hands up don't shoot guy

The idea is to create an incident that is not clear cut. An incident where many will disagree about what the right outcome should be.

If it were about justice, there were plenty of other incidents to choose from. i.e Sandra Bland, and many others.

The purpose of choosing an incident like this is annihilation. Anyone who objects is an enemy and is eliminated from society. Of course, this works much better when you have the Cheka to back you up, or failing that, control of Twitter moderation board.

Instead, we have created a much more fractured political landscape than before for no good reason.

Lies always bear poisoned fruit. You cannot consume their fruit and remain “healthy”. We must destroy lies anywhere that we find them.

David, am I correct that evidence that MPD taught that hold in its academy was not permitted to be entered into the case by the judge?

And if Hughes had left out the word "precisely", Would the rest of Hughes' argument stand? So maybe it's overstatement on part of Hughes?

I believe so. The judge ruled that only evidence pertaining to the cause of death would be permitted.

I do think if we remove "precisely," the entire argument possibly fails. But not necessarily.

Thank you....that ruling seems like there was fear of accepting possibly exculpatory evidence. I've read that judges, leaders, etc in Minneapolis were terrified that anything but a guilty charge would have led to the city being burned down.
