Stop with the "hard on" comments and debate with me. I think BLM are a hateful ideology... If you think otherwise... Let's talk.

Endless incidents? I think that's a bit of a stretch.
Accidents will always happen... We need to take a step back and discuss it dispassionately... No silly made up facts or exaggerations

The circumstances of the injuries were initially unclear; eyewitness accounts suggested that the officers involved used unnecessary force against Gray during the arrest—a claim denied by all officers involved.[3][4][5] Commissioner Anthony W. Batts reported that, contrary to department policy,[6] the officers did not secure him inside the van while driving to the police station; this policy had been put into effect six days prior to Gray's arrest, following review of other transport-related injuries sustained during police custody in the city, and elsewhere in the country during the preceding years.[7] The medical investigation found that Gray had sustained the injuries while in transport.[8][9] The medical examiner's office concluded that Gray's death could not be ruled an accident, and was instead a homicide, because officers failed to follow safety procedures

Bed time for me.

I'm more than happy to discuss this another time... But tomorrow I'm working then at the football.

Goodnight

You’re wrong. Compo is often paid out as a business decision. Court is expensive. If compo is paid out before a trail, before evidence for defence and prosecution has been collected, let alone heard... how can that compo be related to guilt or non guilt.

Car insurance companies often pay out compo to avoid court.

You continue to insinuate BLM into the conversation, as if it has some bearing on the individual events that occurred.

Just as we are now seeing women coming forward about the sexual harassment that they have endured for decades, we are also seeing people get traction with their claims of unwarranted killings by police, notably of black men but not just of black men. The difference isn’t that “accidents” are happening, or that more “accidents” are happening, it’s that witnesses – who were routinely dismissed when contradicting the sworn testimony of the officers involved – now have a video camera in their pocket. What we now see in a minority, but nevertheless disturbingly large number of cases, is that the police sometimes lie following a death to justify their otherwise inappropriate or unlawful actions.

The frightening point being that this has been going on for a very long time – the black community has been claiming this all along (and getting, at best, ignored for their trouble) – so we have no idea how many more unpunished, unlawful police killings there have been. They don't even keep central records of police killings so there is no way to know how many there are! How is that even a thing?

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

I would guess several reasons
Riots
Trial avoidance (they could get stung if they lose)
Draw a line under it.

Who knows... but I do know they paid out before all evidence was collected by the defence lawyers.

Which kinda says to me... if the evidence has yet to be seen... what are they basing their decision on?

Anyway Ray... you keep dragging me back. I’m up at 4:40am tomorrow. I’m catching a train at 05:16.

Sleep well Ray
