Jordan Neely killed by chokehold on subway

you have no idea how much force he was applying. if it truly was a chokehold he would have been dead much sooner.

the irony 🤣

there is no discussion , just you trying to manufacture outrage and getting called on it .

I try not to engage with you after the time you sent me over 50 unsolicited PMs on this site , remember that ?

Hanging your hat on the Arbery case? Another criminal with a history of violence and possession of a firearm with intent. All that info found in a 30 second google.

Finding a case where the police let someone go who was later charged and convicted does not discredit what I said. It just shows you're clutching at straws. The police who have experience can and will arrest someone if there is any doubt about their story, or their innocence. In the case relevant to this discussion, there were about a dozen immediate proximity witnesses, half of whom had statements taken at the time. The police saw no reason to arrest the marine.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a 1000 times, racists are dangerous, but even more dangerous are folks who constantly look for racism in every walk of life.

You're certainly not a drive by poster, thats true.

Its full time race baiting with you.

I don't have the full context of the situation as i was not there and I don't have figures about Ireland but in the UK it's important to note that being black means you'll be more likely to be stopped and searched by the police compared to white people. In the last 30 years there have been almost 1800 deaths in uk police custody, with almost 200 Black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) individuals dying in either police custody or following police contact. Colonialism (direct control over a territory and it's people i.e. Starting with enslaved Africans in 1619) is where it began. To be colonized is to have your personhood, humanity, and the historic existence of your community denied and completely disregarded, to be denied rights as humans and to be dominated. And then imperialism takes over. We have unconscious bias, affinity bias, in-group bias, ethnocentrism and there's systemic racism. Black people are far less likely to seek mental health care compared to white people due to unequal access to health care but also due to a lack of cultural sensitivity by health care professionals. Lack of trust after being mistreated in the past, historical and intergenerational trauma is no doubt a fair reason too. I'm white and white privilege means not thinking about racism most of the time 🤷‍♀️

Whatever the reasons, it's extremely sad this man died and hopefully some justice will be given.
