Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

Now, since I'm on the road, using my phone, I'll just add: Justice is God's perview.

America would be fairly average for the Western world if it weren't for a few highly localized problem areas, like Riverdale and Englewood in Chicago, or rather problem street segments.

That's presumably a pattern found elsewhere in America (and elsewhere).

I know what the cop's options were; do you?

If he tasered the fool, Georgie would have been dead a lot sooner [...}
Or do you simply accept the "innocent and harmless while black" meme?

The reality is that Floyd would have survived if Chauvin would not have pressed him down with his knee on the neck. There was no need to press him down. Not for so long anyway. Once handcuffed, Floyd should have been picked up or at least STOP STRANGLING HIM. Does it break some law or police protocol if the officer refrains from strangling the suspect?

Egregious breach of protocol and procedure by Chauvin, resulting in death of the suspect. Definitely guilty.

Read the ME's report, not the "papers"...

Floyd was being arrested; he didn't want to be arrested. Oh, well.

...Floyd was black and Chauvin was white...

BTW: Do you know or have you ever known and American black?

I remain to this day firmly committed to Live and Let Live.

Try all the variations of ad hominem you can,

The point is [...] to call you to have a reasoned position on the topic at hand. You don't have it.

Trumpists in general tend to be extremely clueless about most things.

I'd ask in what way (you know: when, where, how...) was Trump racist?

How do you counter my interpretation of the circumstances, choices available, and milieu in which the incident(s) took place?

(Do you forget that he was in the car and crawled out the street-side door to the tarmac; where he -presumably- meant to crawl across how many lanes of traffic? How long would you have let him crawl?)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, ersi, but cops only rarely have the authority to "let things slide."

In most of his build-the-wall speeches he perfectly embodied the racism against Mexicans. If you think this was not it, it just demonstrates your cluelessness.

The worst was his factlessness and lack of any analysis of anything. His administration consisted in haphazard fumbling, while he apparently thought that the fumbling was actually good policy-making. This was the worst part in my opinion.

it is important to recognise the evils of racism and to call out racists

USA is a bit too full of racists who are increasingly full of themselves. It would be good for the country to tone the racism down a bit.

You have policemen who cannot even put a man in the car properly! Fire them all and start hiring anew, this time with proper due diligence!

Wireless company Verizon will sell Verizon Media, which consists of the once-pioneering tech platforms, to Apollo Global Management in a $5 billion deal.

Verizon said Monday that it will keep a 10% stake in the new company, which will be called Yahoo.

Verizon spent about $9 billion buying AOL and Yahoo over two years starting in 2015, hoping to jump-start a digital media business that would compete with Google and Facebook. It didn’t work...
