Floyd wasn't disobeying or resisting any arrest!!! Floyd was unarmed, he was pinned to the ground by four cops!! FOUR!!!!!!! You only saw the one that strangled him.
He was even gasping for breath and begging that he couldn't breathe that please he needs water. or anything, his chest hurts, he can't breathe and that animal stayed on him, he was cuffed and was on the ground!!
And that bastard strangled him for close to 15 minutes and you say Floyd was disobeying?

I get it,you're upset but is there really a point twisting the story to defend the point you're making? in the several articles I read, it was one man that pinned him and the official statement claimed he initially resisted arrest, if any evidence is produced to prove otherwise, it will surely be welcomed so unless you were there... and your 15 minutes claim is that correct too? now it sounds like I'm defending some crazy policemen. meanwhile it's not as if due process against this cops have not begin

Also Bruv regarding the Nigerian police incidents, that's pure brutality, it's not racists, they're mentally deranged men paraded as cops. The average Nigerian police feels like a god who can shoot and abuse anybody at any time of the day, young or old, innocent or guilty, not because of anything but because they're power drunk folks. They abuse the po

I've cut out a large part to avoid heavy scrolling.. heck my comment might be as long as yours too.


I feel you really.. reason why I avoid commenting in topics that will lead to someone brining up tribes..shit really annoys me too but I just remind myself not every problem needs to be addressed. if not I for don flood nairaland with comments. basically most fp post fall under this category.

you already defined the NPF for exactly what it is. such people could also leak into other countries' police force

this particular case the one that recently happened is obviously a superiority issue, they all are anyways.. now, this could be occupational (him thinking he's police and a civilian is disobeying him), racial or even just be a personal issue peculiar to that policeman. I personally I'm leaning towards it being occupational cos the man resisted arrest and the police man kept saying who's tough now.. if he was calling him racist names then...

kiddoiLL:
I see the point you're trying to make but it doesn't cut it with the American Police. It's not brutality, those guys are pure racists, once you're black you're a threat, they treat you like a big threat even if you're harmless.
I've seen a lot of videos on police killing black Americans, the most disturbing one I saw recently was a policeman who stopped a white woman driving at night, asking her to come out of the vehicle, telling her to not call anyone, HER PHONE WAS ON HER LAPS!! this policeman told her to put her hands down, because she raised them up inside the car, SHE INSISTED AND SAID NO, HER HANDS ARE STAYING UP THERE BECAUSE SHE FEARS ONCE SHE PUTS HER HANDS DOWN TRYING TO GET HER PHONE, SHE MIGHT GET SHOT AND THE EXCUSE WILL BE THAT SHE TRIED REACHING OUT FOR A WEAPON. Do you know what the policeman told her, “BUT MA'M YOU'RE SAFE, WE DON'T KILL WHITES, YOU'RE NOT A THREAT, WE ONLY KILL BLACKS, PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN, WE ONLY KILL BLACKS"

His dashboard cam recorded everything and somebody leaked it.
He was apparently fired so one of the head of the police unit said, but do you really think it's not a vendetta against Blacks? Do you really believe that the mentality that Blacks are threat isn't far stretched among the police unit?.
Yes not all would be wicked and inhuman, but what drives these guys the most is their hatred for blacks.
It's pure racism!!.

of course you can't generalize the action of one racist driven police man or better still let's generalize the entire police department of that state to make an assumption.. remember the police is a pretty wide body, there will be bad people in it as well as good people, racist as well as non racist, corrupt folks as well as non corrupt folks. and from the case you mentioned above it obvious that the policeman obviously has issues

kiddoiLL:
So according to this crap you're spreading, Protocols and Routine demands that a mass murderer or serial killer be taken in calmly cus it's a high profile case but an innocent black man be forcefully taken, and be shot killed at the slightest chance.. It's not racism but Police Brutality, have you seen any white man on the news being arrested like a serial killer when he's unarmed on the streets?? But Blacks face it everyday, and you say it's not racism.. This is protocols right?
You, the Cops, And the Two faced American Justice system are bloody racists

you don't need to get all personal.. I clearly understand this is a terrible tragedy. you also don't need to put words in my mind just to justify a point...of course, everyone who's going to be arrested should be arrested in a just manner. those cases being high profile ones ensures that these protocols are duly observed. I've done a fair bit of research looking into police brutality and the role racism might or might not be playing.truth is cases like this happen often, to the white man, to the black man any colored person in general . the media will always carry a juicy story.. and a more juicy one (a white cop brutalizes a black man to death is as controversial as it can get)will go farther as well spark discussions like this. police over here brutalize civilians everyday but when it happens over there to a black man, it is tagged a racism related case immediately.
while this might actually be a case of racism, there is nothing to suggest it as such yet. the thing is I just won't be able to really explain well but I hope you see the point I'm trying to pass across
ps: a police man in Nigeria brutalizing a citizen would be a police brutality case so why shouldn't this one be? is it because this one involves different people having different racial background?
ps: I'm a black Nigerian (I don't think I have any non blacks in my family tree) like you probably are so you can't call me a racist can you?

of course those were high profile cases, protocols will be observed well. it would have been the same if they were black.. this is not necessarily a case of racism instead police brutality.

Mixed feelings..... Ridiculous storyline, with stupid sudden twists and turns, making it even more ridiculous

Is this Fiona or what's her name, wtf

I keep on telling people the action scenes are more or less the only thing good about the show. they think I'm crazy. The storyline is just wack, there is no there way to put it

Finally, it seems those of us who took the Jumia Global option got better deals. I got the 6/128gig variant for 82k plus shipping and custom duty. I am even sure most sellers on Jumia will still retail at a higher price than what Xiaomi just announced. Hoping my device gets delivered safely though....

good for you... everyone will start adjusting their prices adequately

Well.. 78,900 - 4gb/128gb
88,900 - 6gb/128

now this is what I call aggressive pricing

Then you would know that history has always detailed the rise an fall of empires and kingdoms?

Maybe I may not totally understand but when you try to mimick what goes on at the core of the sun and yes with the belief you have relevant or relative data to control it and all the shenanigan that come with the belief that the supposed pros outweighs the cons

leaks fromNuclear plants you've stated above and the harm it has brought not only to the surrounding but ppl living close to it

Call me one opposed to technological development and stuff but my point remains in as much as you may have all relevant/relative data a problem with this system and we may be looking as something worse than Hiroshima in the name of clean energy

j

which is why I have told you to look into nuclear fussion deeply at not just on the surface. do you think the numerous scientist and engineers working on this project don't recognize potential dangers or you just think they don't care? What China and the other countries who have tried aim to replicate might be what's is happening at the sun..but it isn't as substantial as what is actually happening at the sun. but at the end of the day, that's what science is all about, understanding naturally occurring phenomenons and implementing them into something that works for us. this is no different from how planes are modelled after birds
like I said earlier, artificial sun is just a fancy name for a catchy headline adapted by mainstream media and just because something has potential dangers doesn't mean it should be written off.

As a matter of fact all inventions made by man have potential dangers.. you should be grateful where technology has gotten too and how easy life is in general... Don't you think it's time to do away with all this backward thinking?

enirock:


Why would I pick offence as we all are entitled to our own opinion and you alluding to me as a caveman does not make me one.

A country that wants to trap and try controlling hot plasma and trying to stabilise it in other to create fusion for a cleaner energy source definitely has its downside because if and when this nuclear fusion become attainable and this device becomes faulty during the process hence me saying in an attempt to fight for world dominance, they may end up destroying themselves because that kind of heat will surely have an adverse effects to nature whether we accept it's a
form of cleaner energy or not

this thing you claim China is trying to attain had been put into trial by different countries dated as far back as several decades.
Now that you've taken a shallow look at what nuclear fusion is all about perhaps you should take a deeper look at the idea. Just because planes have high risk of death when they develop faults in motion doesn't mean they should be scrapped. h*ck, there are even accidents on roads.
if you can't relate,let's take nuclear fission for a sample, another side of the same coin, just because there were nuclear meltdowns then didn't make them scrap it cos in the long run, it was the way to go.
the so called temperature generated can be managed cos at the end of the day the amount of energy generated considering the very small amount of gas turned plasma undergoing this fussion is something that can be managed

practically, this is even better than fission and fission is used to generate power today.

I could go on and on but that will just make this write up unappealing to read. I'm not even surprised you're also tagging China as a country after world dominance just because they are also paramount in 6g development.(I'm not saying there isn't an endgame) even you will agree on the phrase "better me than others" right.
while people like me are intrigued about the technological advancements of the world in general, other like you are not happy because either it's not under your country's name or you simply don't understand it well enough or maybe both. while the later is ok since we can't understand everything the former is just total bs.
Again, just because something isn't totally safe doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered especially when the pros totally outweighs the cons. even day to day machines like DVD players pose theoretical danger to human health under some conditions.

LarryBee1k:
For the sympathizer of the chinese

In fact, the takeover of the South African country has reached such “commanding heights” that some observers are asking the question, “Is Zambia the first African country to become a full Chinese colony?”

Zambia’s reported ‘colonization’ is due to its government’s failure to repay a US$8B debt to China for infrastructural projects undertaken by the Chinese under programmes like the ”Belt and Road” initiative.

Given the appalling proportions of the debt, it was no surprise that Zambia’s plight was recently highlighted on “The Dr. Mumbi show” —a widely viewed online/TV programme in Africa.

During her show, Dr. Mumbi Seraki noted that China has been given unrestrained control over Zambian resources owing to over-borrowing and the unfiltered immigration of Chinese into the country. It was also highlighted that the Chinese have taken over African neighbourhoods, marketplaces, and major business sectors such as mining and real estate.

Dr. Mumbi noted that the situation is causing conflict between the Chinese immigrants and the locals. But there is nothing that could be done by the Government of Zambia. Their hands are tied.

“If the Zambians complain about something which is done illegally, the Chinese government steps in and says don’t touch my people and the Zambian Government backs down.”

As if that is not enough, Dr. Mumbi said that China has also been grabbing up major State assets.

A few months ago, the state-owned TV and radio news channel, ZNBC, and the Lusaka International Airport were taken over by the Chinese. Even the State’s electricity company, ZESCO, is poised for takeover by the Chinese government owning their loan default, Mumbi stressed. But the government has been denying the reports.

“They (the Government) have been trying to play cool like everything is ok but they have actually been in secret talks over how their national electricity company will be taken over by China,” the African talk-show host revealed.

In addition to all this, the Chinese have closed off a road on the central point of Zambia’s capital, Lusaka.

Given the aforementioned, the Kenyan commentator questioned the logic behind China’s dealings in Zambia’s state- of -affairs.

“Do you think an African company would be allowed control over China’s national electricity? But you know what? It just shows that China’s new colonial strategy is at its climax. And they (China) have been doing this covert business for so long and now they got their tentacles so deep inside (Africa) that it’s going to be hard for some countries turn back,” she said.

The talk-show host also emphasized that China’s whole strategy is encouraging indebtedness.

“They come to Africa with the money. They give and they give (loans) but once you default, they start to take over strategic assets. You see, what China has done is that they have studied countries that have corrupt governments and greedy leaders. That’s the trouble with most African nations. That’s why we find most African nations in this situation.”

She stressed further, that China’s long-term goal is the effective ownership of the commanding heights of Africa’s economy.

as disheartening as this is to read, I want to believe they had all this in contract before collecting money from the Chinese...
if African governments aren't a corrupt bunch, I doubt they would be in this mess in the first place. if they repented from all this embezzlement when they decided to seek for loans whether or not there was a contract to highlight all what is happening now, they most probably won't be in this mess.
I understand as an African man this doesn't look to be in my best interest but there is a reason why countries are named differently.
they don't have to look out for each other interest especially when they don't have anything to gain and most expecially when they have to lose.
Anyone looking at this, from a neutral point, some one who is neither an African or a Chinese will most definitely not be pointing the blaming fingers at China because at the end of the day they aren't the ones who put us in this situation in the first place.. if they chose to exploit it, that's on us not on them.
This matter can be dated back to as far as 2 years ago. Don't you think it's too far fetched to tag it as "recent"

enirock:
In the fight for world power, may China not destroy itself. Only them: covid 19, artificial sun, research ongoing on 6g, nuke and the like and we term all these technological advancements which rightly they are but if you choose to change the order of the world by giving us a sun hotter that this present one that even a projectile sent to determine how far the sun is has not reached it in seven years, then be certain that nature will fight back and anyone fighting against nature is fighting a losing battle

exactly how I would expect from a cave man to think. I'm choosing to believe you're not exactly one. A shallow Google search would brief you that the "artificial sun" is more or less a fancy name.
besides if you are going to be worried about nuclear warheads, shouldn't you be worried about those who might be potentially doing this in secret?

Babapyro:

Use your head next time you're arguing and don't meddle into things you don't know,no one owes your any explanation so don't expect people to lecture you in your ignorance.

so it's because a fact was gotten wrong, that's what warranted all this reply from you abi. it's not as if the phone was never even planned to be sold . I shouldn't even be arguing with your kind of person sef..

feel free to quote me if having the last say inflates your ego.

Babapyro:
.it never launched, try to make adequate research before arguing, it was just a concept and most people were against it.you have a phone, use it to your advantage.

I was under the impression it launched in China in limited quantities.
ps: to answer your question, people argue to get facts right. you either do that in a more appropriate manner or pack up and go.

Babapyro:

It is not on sale,do you see any recommendations or comments from users there.i repear it is just a concept/idea not a real phone.

but it is.. production was just limited. I don't believe it launched globally too

no I mean he was given slot to take anybody from Igboho to let you know the person he gave didn't even merit it at all

you sound so entitled even if it's for your father's sake. what you explained now reminds me of a situation recently which I felt the same way. I guess I can let it go now cos that's silly of me
