George Floyd Murder Shows: Police Lie, Cheat, Defame, Kill and Man, They Hate Black People

Madison, Wisconsin — Just before 3:00 p.m., April 20 Central time, I checked Twitter and read human rights attorney Laura Nirider writing that a verdict had been reached in State vs. Derek Chauvin.

The little prick is guilty on all counts, I said. 

It seemed improbable to me the jury would deliberate only some 8 hours and bring back a not guilty verdict, so I was optimistic the human garbage Chauvin would face decades behind bars. 

I took pleasure in musing Chauvin would face violence most of his life for what the bastard did to George Floyd. 

No love in my heart for police anymore.

The Minneapolis Police of course tried to lie their way of out this murder, as police do, reporting the day after the May 25, 2020 murder that a "medical incident during police interaction," had resulted in a fatal, (Business Insider).

The Boston Review's Lydia Pelot-Hobbs concludes the hostile police force with its gangsters' us-v-them psychology needs to abolished.

Pelot-Hobbs is not alone.

Most who encounter routine violent incursions, constant menacing, malice, and pathological dehumanization conclude in part that abolition needs to be at least a part of the discussion.

From Georgia to Wisconsin to Minnesota, the way police dehumanize, humiliate and debase people at traffic stops is repulsive enough, nevermind the murders for the moment.

It gives me license and registration, it doesn't move, it turns off the phone, or else it get tazed.

What the fuck is wrong with you, buddy?

Police take up massive chunks of municipal budgets, so a cop spends 20-30 years living off the people he fucks over, retires and then lives off his pension. Gangsters.

For a how-to get rid of police, see Boston Review's Power over Policing.

John Conyers Is Not an Icon, He Was a Congressman

John Conyers left Congress in disgrace in Dec. 2017, utterly
self-absorbed and convinced of his moral superiority
What is it that possesses some people after assuming an office?

Rep. John Conyers, Jr., (D-Michigan), resigned this week, facing multiple sexual harassment complaints coming out of his office fiefdom built over decades.

Icon, legend? Conyers is accused of the same offenses leading Clarence Thomas to be branded a monster.

No, Conyers is not an icon. He's a civil rights worker along with 10,000,000s of Americans whose names will not grace the history books. Any grounded, reflective man would know this.

Not Conyers.

Listening to Conyers' statement on the Mildred Gaddis Show, (WPZR-FM, Detroit), (via cable news), is to listen to a self-absorbed, pathetically deluded man so convinced of his own righteousness that it's not surprising any empathy with his victims is absent.

Said Conyers on the Gaddis show:

My legacy can’t be compromised or diminished in any way by what we’re going through now. This too shall pass. ... My legacy will continue through my children. I am retiring today and I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the ... incredible, undiminished support I've received across the years from my supporters not only from my district but across the country as well.

My, my, I, I, I.

Conyers is not an icon, a mythic, supernatural figure or a legend.

He's just a selfish guy who has been in Congress too long, creating a fiefdom that dehumanized and betrayed the very movement that he so fervently claims as his own.
