Your post does not change that this is a terrorist movement.

Of course it doesn’t. That’s not the point of getting the facts out there.

In the Ferguson debacle, we were fed all the crappola about the “Gentle Giant” and how his upcoming foray into higher education had been tragically cut short by a murdering cop.

The Mr. Floyd died, tragically, and at the hands of a dirty cop. That doesn’t mean when building the epilogue of this story we should omit all of the pertinent facts.

Exactly. The proper way to punish criminal wrongs is arrest and prosecution, not what happened to Floyd.

And yes, I'm aware he wasn't asphyxiated. But continuing to kneel on him long after he was subdued was not justifiable, and clearly could be a health risk if the person's medical system is otherwise compromised. The possibility of strokes, heart attacks, seizures, etc., are exactly why you don't put that kind of extended stress on someone when they are no longer resisting.

“That does not change that the policeman killed him.”

That is exactly right. Intelligent people can separate these things. It is not George Floyd vs cop and one has to take sides. Both were bad and both should be held accountable for their actions.

Floyd is dead and the cop will end up dead in a prison yard if he lasts that long. It all works out.

True - but in the spirit of honesty, and transparency, he was not the saint as some are making him out to be.

It does not change it. But there is a point that respectable, upright people are less likely to have this kind of encounter with police. And yes lowlifes should not be brutalized by police.

No, but does make it so that most people don’t care that they killed him....good riddance. One less violent felon walking the streets.

If it is true he had fentanyl and meth in his system, I doubt that the restraint tactics were the cause of his death.

At the very least, it would put up a reasonable doubt so large that they would have to drop the murder charge.

Fentanyl causes 50,000 deaths a year in the US.

It does not change the fact that you and pukes like you have convicted the cop without trial but you have.

Assuming this claim is true the cop still appears to have been seriously negligent.But,again assuming it’s true,it could lower the criminal (and moral) culpability to some degree of “negligence” (”Negligent Homicide”,for example) rather than flat out “murder”.

No it doesn’t but they will now go after him and his family with a vengeance just for pointing it out.

In this country, we do not go directly from video to sentence. Whether the cop killed him, or if he did, whether it was intentional or negligent, is to be determined at trial.

Hmmm? I must have missed that trial? Or do you mean that Floyd was ‘allegedly’ killed be the policeman?
