When you use the word 'murdered' it is best to identify what degree, or manslaughter. Hyperbolic assertions are just a way to gin up racial unrest. We don't need that at this time in our crumbling history.
This was not a split second decision. That officer chose to suffocate Floyd for 5-7 minutes. He died as a result. His actions directly caused Floyd’s death. If you or I did that, we’d be in jail right now. I could give a damn about the state of affairs in our country deciding how I react. What was done to him was horrific.
I often am one who says ‘there’s more to the story or why didn’t the guy just listen’. It doesn’t apply here. That cop is one evil and horrific piece of scum. He needs to be behind bars today.
This was murder, slowly, in public, in front of witnesses, with a couple of now-ex-cops running interference so nobody could help the victim, and trying to cut off good camera shots too.
Who puts their hands in their pockets while asphyxiating a man to death?
