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.

So you think Mr. Floyd had the officer in legitimate fear for his own safety while his throat was being compressed against the pavement? How, I wonder.

Maybe he thought Mr. Floyd had some sort of top-secret SEAL training that would enable him to get out of any hold, even while cuffed behind his back.
