I think the low rates of prosecutions are a factor here but perhaps also the shipping crisis - if they park trains there then that's no doubt attractive... I wonder if some of those people living in the campervans seen in some of the footage have anything to do with it too.
Also in the UK we have British transport police to cover railways - in the US they have lots of private railway police forces funded by the railway companies themselves, I wonder what their funding is like? ("Defunding" the police to the bare min level is no doubt something that might be tempting for companies having to fund their own private police forces)
George Floyd had a MINOR disagreement about an apparently unknown 20 dollar bill.
OBVIOUSLY not worth killing someone over even if it was a fraudulent note, the cop had no right to detain him like that.........[...]
You are nuts if you agree with ANY part of the police involvement here.
Nah, you can both hold the view that Chauvin's behaviour was out of line and also that Floyd needed to be arrested. Police in just about any country would have arrested someone when they've arrived at the scene of an incident and found the suspect high AF behind the wheel of a car. Plus it doens't appear to be an accident, the kid from the store went out twice to tell Floyd about the forged note and was bascialy told to do one... then called the police.
