Re: Soooo, it turns out that George Floyd had drugs in his system Narg Send a noteboard - 05/06/2020 04:45:41 PM

"I can't breathe" is what millions of black suspects say, right up there with "the handcuffs are too tight" and "I only had two beers."


How do you know this? "I can't breathe" is not something I've heard that people stereotypically say to cops. Under what circumstances is this normally falsely said by black people to cops? Is this often uttered by suspects when they don't have anything pressing on their throat?

For some reason "I can't breathe" doesn't feel like it fits with the run of the mill things people say to cops.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Mookie how do you feel now after the May 30th tire incident, that the cops admitted they did today? Roland00 - 08/06/2020 11:59:42 PM 675 Views
Whatever the rationale, defunding the police is a bad idea. Even Bernie agreed with that. *NM* damookster - 12/06/2020 03:27:29 PM 365 Views
Are you disagreeing with the branding, or the actual ask? fionwe1987 - 12/06/2020 04:32:36 PM 643 Views

You can't legislate away bigotry, though, in any country, ever Tom - 08/06/2020 02:04:41 AM 680 Views
1st this is not true, second just say it is the "futility thesis" arguing it will never make a dent *NM* Roland00 - 08/06/2020 03:56:13 AM 387 Views
