Yes. But, remember, that one, “bad apple,” was protected by at least three others while he slowly murdered Floyd. And, just from a practical point of view: consider how much cities would save if they spent generously on vetting and training cops? Clearly, if a young girl was better at their job than them, and showed more courage, that whole apple tree needs to be chopped down and burned.

What haunts me most, was hearing Preet Barara’s obtuseness. He’s still using the, “one bad apple,” line?! When we all saw the branches of that poisoned apple tree, working SO HARD to protect Chauvin, while he slowly, calculatingly, mercilessly murdered a man in that degrading, public manner?! When a passing 17 year old girl has more ability to tell right from wrong, and more courage than any of those cops protecting a murderer in the commission of his crime, it’s time to chop down and burn the apple tree. Just from a practical point of view, it would be cheaper to spend generously on recruitment, vetting and training, than it is to spend on settlements.

@dl3074 : A trump troll’s work is never done, is it? Sucks to be you, I’d imagine? But then, my life is awesome. I don’t have to imagine being you at all 😋

@zairea.4605 : I was echoing you, as an exemplar, madam. Perhaps I should have used, “quotes,” to make the point? It never pays to assume a trump troll is smart enough to comprehend a simple point. 🤦‍♂️

@ChannelNews1 : Tell us what their, “mistake,” was, in principal, and we’ll tell you whether it’s worth taking the trouble to give you our precious hits on your website? Sounds fair?

Seemed to me Chauvin was protected by branches from that tree, which all worked hard to protect that bad apple, while he slowly put an innocent man to a degrading death? That tree looked pretty poisonous to me? Even a girl with a phone had more guts than all of them! How many millions would it take to spend generously on vetting and training cops? Less than they pay out in settlements, right? That tree needs chopping down and burning.

@ChannelNews1 : But, why should anyone read it? You asked. I want to know. What was the, “mistake,” to which you refer? Surely you have the skill to summarise in one brief sentence, if you believe in your analysis? Please don’t be obtuse? Just tell us. What’s the nature of this mistake?

@oscarcarrillo3851 : Chauvin’s lawyer better have some, “alternative,” career plans, unless he wants to move to the public defender’s office? Clutching at every passing straw, no matter how low, no matter how egregious, no matter how insulting to the jury’s intelligence, all but guaranteed Chauvin’s conviction on all three counts. I bet they wish they could convict him for murder 1 & 2, if they could? 👍

@victoriawilliams2786 : It’s exactly that internal bias that makes cops the very LAST people you want, judging other cops, right? Even with the best of intentions, he probably thinks it’s important to try to make that case, that Chauvin’s are the exception. But, when we ALL SAW that murder couldn’t have happened if just ONE of those other cops had the courage to do their JOBS, he just makes it worse! ✌️

TheTruth : Let’s be real here? What Maxine Waters said was egregious in the extreme. I seriously think she should resign for her incendiary outburst. But, BLM doesn’t, “teach hate.” That’s a lie of the Alt-Wrong who desperately need an opposite side to their Fascist coin, and have chosen BLM as their Bogey Man. Yet, they are famous for policing their own protests, and ejecting people who stir up violence and hate. They aren’t just activists, but a registered charity, which MLK would have been proud to endorse. They have a New York City square named after them, because they are in dialogue with the authorities, working for solutions. And it was BLM who knelt, prayed and marched WITH the police, last year, remember? Don’t fall for the propaganda of, “them and us,” from the far right. They lie . . .
