Surely you know that the nazis wanted to get rid of all?
Started with the Jews and was progressing to other races?
We were stopping that?
Anyway, it's diversed from the ot.

You might want to check your facts. William Carney was not the first person to receive the Medal of Honor. He didn't have it awarded until 1900 for action that he experienced in 1863...

Race had nothing to do with why he received the award...I don't know why that's such a qualifier for you.

I agree with harmony ... I expect the officer to

Be trained in risk assessment , conflict resolution and to safely engage in challenging situations .

To recognise when they do not have control of a situation .. to back down if safety is compromised or call for backup .

To use appropriate deescalation techniques and culturally safe communication.

To know how to safely defend themselves when there is a physiological difference or threat .

To React professionally and ethically .

George Floyd complained of feeling claustrophobic ...( a condition often associated with panic and fear ...) he was “pulled “ from the vehicle ... I would expect the risk assessment of that situation to consider the consequence of his state of mind and functioning at that point .

He did not have a weapon .. he was not combative or aggressive . Why they felt the need to restrain him in the manner they did is not clear . I am sure their rationale and motivation will come out in the legal proceedings .

It seems that there is more to this story than just a cop and an attempt to arrest Floyd. Should be interesting when all the investigation is done and the real story comes out.

I agree partly. HE was the first AA to be honored, not the first to have the award. But race had a big part to play in the timing of when an AA was finally able to get that type of recognition.

Congratulations!!

You have officially done what the Left has been trying to do unsuccessfully for now 60 years...finally found a way to reduce black crime...by making it impossible to arrest anyone who doesn't want to be arrested.

You can't shoot 'em. You can't taser 'em. You can't chase them in a vehicle. You can't physically hit or injure them, you can't use pepper spray or tear gas on them...and now you can't restrain or lay hands on them.

I sure hope that "Stern Talking To" plan of action works out well...I'm pretty much at a loss at what to do if that doesn't work.

I'm not talking about protesters...protest all you want. Burn all you want. Loot all you want. Society has deemed it acceptable to count your coup and just take whatever you want. Doesn't affect me so I just don't care. My livelihood isn't being burnt to the ground, my inventory isn't being spread to the winds...if others are too weak to stop them...oh well...I'm sure those evil Hamburger Restaurants, Drug and Liquor stores will make sure to never be involved in racist activities again.

I'm talking about all the mother-killers, father-rapers, store-robbers, drug-users, car-jackers...you know...all those poor innocent college-bound students just out for a walk or looking to bring mom home a quart of milk from the corner store.

Maybe a stern scolding along with a vigorous finger-wagging will set them on the path of the straight and narrow...

The first tweet about the death of Michael Brown was a minute or two after he collapsed on Canfield Dr., just past noon Aug. 9, 2014. Local rapper Emanuel Freeman (@ TheePharaoh) tweeted from inside his home a photo of Browns body face down in the street, an officer standing over him.

12:03 p.m. "Just saw someone die OMFG."

12:03 p.m. "I'm about to hyperventilate."

12:04 p.m. "the police just shot someone dead in the of my crib yo."

And then a minute later, within five minutes of the shooting, the picture of an officer standing over Browns prone body. Twitter users identified the officer as Darren Wilson.

Forty minutes later, at 12:48 p.m., a previously unknown young woman, La Toya Cash, joined the conversation. She posted this tweet as @AyoMissDarkSkin: "Ferguson police just executed an unarmed 17-year-old boy that was walking to the store. Shot him 10 times smh."

The account of the "boy" "executed" walking on the street and shot 10 times established Mike Browns victimhood. smh--Twitter speak for "shaking my head,"--drove home the point, as did a photo showing dozens of police cars in the street.

The tweet was retweeted 3,500 times in the next few hours, researchers found, as word of the shooting passed through the community like an electrical charge. @AyoMissDarkSkin's report received much more attention than the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's first report of the killing several hours later.

As Ben Lyons reports in his social media analysis (pg. 14), the narrative quickly emerging in social media was that Brown had his hands up, was executed or shot in the back. This was picked up in traditional media where references to hands up, shot in the back and executed appeared six times more often in the days after the killing than terms indicating a struggle with the officer.

But that narrative was wrong. As the Justice Department's investigation concluded seven months later, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" didn't happen. And Brown didn't look like a "gentle giant" in the convenience store video police released.

Few of the media accounts--either social or traditional--included the fact that Brown struggled with Officer Darren Wilson over Wilson's gun--a key factor in Wilson's ultimate exoneration.

Hands Up, Don't Shoot was a myth created in the hot media environment that came alive in the hours after Brown's death. "Eyewitness" accounts on Twitter, cable news and elsewhere turned out to have been based on what people who hadn't seen the shooting had read on Twitter or heard from neighbors.
