"from Australia" you say. Ahh yess. The Australians would be familiar with the Minneapolis Police Department. Y'all may recall the Somali police officer in Minneapolis who flat out executed that Australian woman who tried to approach a police car there to report what she thought was a sexual assault in progress nearby. Was that Somali officer a MAGA-supporter? Let the viewers decide. Your lefty media may have never covered it.

Unfortunately people are so consumed with their team scoring a point than they are about confronting and punishing the poorly behaved and criminal in our society. Abject stupidity and partisan close-mindedness. The first reactions of these losers is to immediately try to figure out what "side" the criminal was on so they can throw it in the face of the other "team".
The first and most important attribute for a cop is integrity. This is critical when they "protect and serve" a community. Cops who violate this trust should not be protected by a "blue wall" but fired immediately and put on trial when the evidence against them is obvious. The us versus them narrative with the "scoring of points for my team" does not help anyone or solve issues with policing.
I agree. I'd just be cautious and say that the evidence must overwhelmingly support the conviction for the criminal action. Need to be real, real careful on that. Otherwise if cops feel they could be subject to interpretation or political motive, they'll just stop doing their jobs entirely. And that would be real bad.
Several pictures that appear to be Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on stage with President Trump have appeared on social media. Chauvin is the officer in a viral video kneeling on the neck of a black man and ignoring his pleas for help until the man was put, unresponsive, on a stretcher. The man later died.
Yes, I'm sure I've set that standard I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya! https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-...ared-to-suffocate-george-floyd-in-viral-video Derek Chauvin, Minneapolis Cop Shown Kneeling on George Floyd’s Neck, Hires Philando Castile Shooter’s Lawyer
This still gets back to that when you created the title of this thread -- you had none of this information. You automatically assumed that since it is a cop then he must be Trump supporter. This gives license to everyone in the forum to do a similar thing. If you had evidence that he supported Trump before you posted the thread, and placed the evidence in your first post then you would be given a pass.
