sure it was a hate crime. Cop culture is a blood-thirsty, racist culture.

Would the cops have attacked a white guy like that?

Would the cops have murdered a white guy by a knee to his white neck?

Would the store owner have called the cops on a white guy with fake $20?

Imagine what cops would do if they received a tip that ducks was a triggered computer repairman on Yuma “boarder” and had a “landline?”

A "hate crime" civil rights lawsuit makes sense inasmuch at it seeks to remedy a biased court system that routinely denies justice to certain people. By contrast, a "hate crime" as a separately prosecuted crime seems like overkill, usually there an obvious underlying crime to prosecute, in this case, murder. It makes more sense to me to make hateful intent an aggravator post-conviction than to charge it separately, but there's probably some good reason it is the way it is.

[Trill Clinton]

Any time a cop kills an unarmed black person its a hate crime.

Ducks thinks it’s an interesting point that there was no evidence of a crime that Chauvin was never charged with
