The mayor said he was not referring to LAPD officers.
"When I talked about killers, I said .... we collectively have a choice of whether we will be those who heal, or whether we will continue being the killers," he explained. "That is what I said. And I absolutely did not say that about the League of Police Officers and I won't have those words distorted.” In a sound bite today on Los Angeles talk radio station KFI 640 AM, Garcetti went on to say that he was including all members of society as being those who ... less

I have, however, seen the footage from the security camera mounted high on the building that shows the point where George Floyd was already handcuffEd behind his back and being led by one male police officer. George Floyd appeared to be 100% compliant with the police officer(s) at that point. The next videos are apparently by cellphones/smartphones taken at street level from at least two different angles showing George Floyd still handcuffed behind his back, facedown on the ground with Chauvin kneeling on his neck. Bystanders are verbally interacting with the officer(s), Floyd is begging for Chauvin to get off of his neck, Chauvin calmly has a hand in his trouser pocket and appears to be patiently awaiting something as he slowly presses the life out of Floyd. Where did it all go wron... less

Reading books, (which I love) the main aim is to 'finish' it so I can move on to another, I signed up to some online courses, I love them, really fascinating, but as usual I feel a pressure to get to the end.. When I do, I will probably go and start some more courses... and do the same thing... Other patterns people might have can be repeating relationships, getting involved with people of similar types. less

If there will be no governing body , horrible crimes will happen in a great number. Like selling children into sex slavery, etc etc. Everything will be ***** up.

Thank you.
*I just threw in the snowflakes reference because even though for many years it was touted that no two snowflakes are or can ever be exactly alike, I believe it came out later that that supposition might not be accurate, and that duplicates might exist. I am not sure either way.

It’s just as biased and prejudicial to assume or think or express that all black people are any one negative thing as it is biased and prejudicial to assume or think or express that all police officers are any one negative thing. There are moral, values-driven, upstanding, competent, character-infused, law-abiding, intelligent, level-headed black people in this world, and there are also respectful, professional, thoughtful, diplomatic, caring, kind and good police officers too. Not every black person is either good or bad, and not every police officer is either good or bad. All groups of people and all subgroups of people are comprised of both good and bad. To punish all black people for one’s own negative image of black people as a whole is just as wrong as punishing all police officers for one‘s own negative image of police officers as a whole. There are police officers this very day who are paying for what Derek Chauvin did, murdered George Floyd for absol... less
