Why is it a tragedy?

The fact that he was shot twice in the back isn’t going to help here.
Fake manipulative headline: Nothing is “open and shut” about Floyd’s death.
The officer stopped, fired and hit him in the back as he was running away with a tazer that had been fired. How is he a threat?
RE: The fact that he was shot twice in the back isn’t going to help here.
Why didn’t they just let Rayshard Brooks go after he fled? After all, they have all his details on file. They can arrest him later.
These cops are too trigger happy.
A friend of mine was a police officer. We talked about this last night. He said it was completely justified.
I believe him.
I do not believe the media.
Agreed. They already had everything to just stop by the next morning and arrest him.
The Pink Floyd thing isn’t ‘open and shut’ either. That’s how to promulgate a lie.
There was a video linked here on FR a while back. It was a self defense shooting in a barber shop and the shot was to the back.
“”””” but it is not the open and shut case that George Floyd killing was.””””
Saint Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose. That is not a killing.
Chauvin’s lawyers will make a full exposition of police training materials and procedures, Floyd’s past history, all video of the arrest immediately prior to Floyd’s death, and especially the autopsy reports which show the actual cause of death.
this case is not the slam-dunk that Keith “Antifa” Ellison may think it is.
More of a case can be made that the officer in Atlanta pulled his weapon with intent to kill than the officer kneeling on George Floyd intended to kill him.
“Fake manipulative headline: Nothing is “open and shut” about Floyd’s death.”
Correct. Attempting to close the case in the media won’t work. Floyd’s case is weak and that will come out.
Exactly. I don't think they'll get the murder conviction they want.
Copied below is from another thread. What is going on?
None of the media are reporting the criminal history of a person named Rayshard Brooks age 27 in Clayton County Georgia
“””He’s got quite the rap sheet.
Be sure to click on ‘all courts’ as the option”””

Thanks for posting the link. What I do not understand is why all of the mainstream media has zero reports on Brooks criminal record.
Even the media like Washington Examiner is ignoring his criminal record.
It appears Brooks was released on parole on Jan 29, 2020.
But Brooks had a probation revocation hearing scheduled for Feb 5, 2020.
What is going on? Are there two people age 27 with the same name?
Why is it a tragedy?
Open and shut case. So we no longer believe in our system of justice?
“Agreed. They already had everything to just stop by the next morning and arrest him.”
So, they should have let a drugged out drunk man who was running just run off. He was freaked out, could have hijacked a car and harmed people. The entire idea of a police force is to protect the public from maniacs, not to let them run free.
Agreed. This is not like the Ferguson case where Brown was advancing with malice on the officer. It is hard to rationalize shooting this fleeing subject in the back. If he got away where was he going to go? They had his car and I assume ID.
