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.
And it makes other cops look bad and creates strife.
The best solution here to quiet the masses woudl be charge these cops (all present) with capital murder and if convicted execute them.
That might send a message better despite the fact it woudl probably be easier on them than life in general population
