NY Times analysis of the Tyre Nichols tape show he was issued 71 commands by cops over 13 minutes, many of them contradictory or impossible to obey. In other words, there was literally NOTHING he could do to save himself from being beaten to death. 71 Commands in 13 Minutes: When Tyre Nichols Couldn't Comply With Impossible Orders, Police Assaulted Him https://news.yahoo.com/71-commands-13-minutes-tyre-124559371.html
I am not in favor of that, but the alternative is much worse. Sometimes a compromise is the best we can do. If we could get the Floyd act passed that would be an important step in the right direction. We both want the same thing. It's a matter of what's the best we can do as individuals.
I think we have to be honest when a politician sells us a bag of dog shit and not delude ourselves. It's clear Biden did fuck all for police accountability, voter protections, or holding MAGA et.al responsible for their crimes despite campaign promises. It's easy to propose a bill and do absolutely nothing to exert pressure on the holdouts or offering fig leafs to moderate repugs to give said bill a chance in hell. Yes the alternative is worse but lacking regress is still no progress.
Facts won't deter "Beautiful Stranger" he still thinks the US election was fraudulent and that Donald Trump is a successful ethical business man.
Facts don't deter dumb asses like "Tree Frog Trader". The main difference now is these fools are all over social media thinking they are experts on things and have to be heard. Even if it's very easy to see data that refutes their theories. He's a rather ordinary fellow with lower then average critical thinking skills ( I could say worse but I won't speculate ). But he craves to be thought of as some deep thinker that needs to be heard on so many topics and current events. Unfortunately a lot of these fools got organized and made maximum damage on this planet in recent years and it needs to stop. Election fraud, Brexit, the proliferation of guns, Covid disinformation, ... . It's all pretty stupid and mostly unnecessary.
Those seem valid points. In the end we got zero progress on police reform. We can't know exactly how much effort Joe put into arm twisting. I do know, according to the reports , that Booker and another Senator whose name escapes me worked long and hard to bring enough Republicans on board to overcome a filibuster. (There was probably a couple Democrats who were unwilling to take on the Police Union as well.) I know Biden publicly, at least, always voiced strong support for the bill, but how strong was he behind the scenes? I don't Know. What I do know however is that Trump said he would veto the bill. And that right there indicates a chasm between Biden and Trump on the George Floyd bill. I have a hard time, therefore, understanding the reasoning of anyone that says they would vote for Trump in preference to Biden because Biden was not able to push the Floyd Bill through. In the end don't we have to recognize that the Senate was split 51/50 with the crazy filibuster rule in place, because Sinema and Manchin would not go with a rule change. Biden was weak there too. It's so disappointing to know how much progress was foreclosed on because of those two Senators.

If Joe put any effort into the points I outlined, he sucks as a politician as I heard nothing about it.
Fuck Joe Biden.That piece of shit stands for absolutely nothing and goes with whatever the national sentiment is at the moment.Nichols parents should have told him to go fuck himself and should be giving interviews reminding people of his fuck you to police reform supporters at his previous SOTU and wanting to give 30+ billion to police and hire thousands more uneducated poorly trained cops with no reform required.
