Calling it a “Murder” without a full expose of ALL evidence means the poster has already made up their mind and is just punching buttons. This poster has a bias. Iow this post isnt meant to be taken seriously. its an opinion. emotion driven with little or no educated insight. a nothingburger

Ok thanks.

Just as an aside, my imagination isn't powerful enough to envisage even the ghost of an approximation of what sort of evidence might emerge that would justify an officer using his knee to clamp shut the vital arteries and airway of the throat of a handcuffed man by grinding it into the ground.

The fact that the officer's hands were in his pockets indicates that he wasn't feeling threatened by George Floyd.

The fact that the officer's hands were in his pockets indicates that he wasn't feeling threatened by George Floyd.

But that's not a fact. The officer was wearing black gloves, which made it appear that his hand were in his pockets. If you look close at a high definition picture, you can tell the difference. Also, if you watch the full video, you will see him moves his arm, and it shows his hand was not in his pocket.

And this highlights a key point. What we think we see is not always what actually occurred. Until a cause of death has been released, we don't know for sure how Floyd died. Let's see more of the facts before we make final conclusions.

I agree with your point, but to set the record straight, the officer was wearing black gloves. In the video, it appeared his hand was in his pocket, but once in a while he moved the hand and you could clearly see the glove. In no way does this mitigate what officer did, just saying.
