you characterization is incredibly stupid, we don't have "Government or authority" killing Americans with impunity.....and we don't have Government or authority" killing Americans, particularly Americans of color with impunity....and there is no acceptance of this false notion...
seem you need a definition lesion like Jim in the context of the topic
impunity.
exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action.
Seeing you don’t understand what it means in the context of the topic
Here is another.
Qualified immunity is a defense that law enforcement and other government officials can raise in response to lawsuits seeking monetary damages for alleged civil rights violations. ... Critics argue this high bar effectively shields law enforcement from accountability So if your a cop you're a representative of the Government..
honest question wayne, your hate and vitriol toward law enforcement/police is very apparent and irrational...did you have a bad experience at some point, where does this anger come from?
I have no hate or Vitriol towards law enforcement if you recall I did 32 years as a corrections officer and shift commander in a prison.. So I have a ton of experience on use of force and wore a sidearm taser in plain clothes in public Transporting Inmates all over the State .. I do have much vitriol for thoses who see shootings of unarmed people or clear uses of excessive force and staff who knowingly and willing use excessive force.. then excuse it with the line they should have just done what they were told .... wanting Accountability is not dislike for police .. unless your a conservative
in each of these cases....I ask myself, if I'd done what the "victim" did, would I have had the same result?...in the case of Floyd...absolutely...if I was hopped up on drugs driving around, did something that required the police to be called and the resisted arrest to the extent that they had to pin me to the ground to control and cuff me and I hit my head or in Floyds case,
The police caused George Floyd’s death, but drugs and heart disease played a role, the medical examiner says.
....you can argue the cop was wrong
there's no argument in what he did and he's now paying the price for making a very poor decision
that was far beyond a poor decision but keep up the defense apparently but Floyd also paid the price for what were apparently decades of bad decisions including all of the bad decisions HE made THAT day...
have you ever tried to restrain someone that was 6'7" and crazy on drugs?
yes I have and guess what A knee on the neck was never allowed
we can go case by case....there is a reason that in most of these cases the police are not found guilty and it's not due to systemic racism and not the result cops driving around targeting people of color with impunity..
its called Qualified immunity
the Wendy's shooting in Atlanta, was another....if I'd done what that guy did...yup, I'd expect to get shot..
what while running away? he had a taser as dangerous as a can of pepper spray so he deserved to be shot ok
if I do something that causes the police to show up and restrain me and I'm uncooperative or give them reason to think I have a weapon or I'm belligerent and resist arrest, yup...I expect bad things will happen to be....
please define Bad things but once you are restrained force is required to stop
unfortunately we have a lot of people running around making bad decisions and thinking that there won't be consequences
some are cops or the former POTUS
you can go ahead and take that to mean I accept Government or authority Killing Americans with impunity with clear disparities based on race
