A very disappointing and uninformed answer.

The knee-on-neck hold was authorized by the Minneapolis Police Manual.

At a minimum, hundreds of USA police departments officially authorized that neck hold before the George Floyd death.

Also...

George Floyd asked Police to lay him on the ground, and he said “I can't breath” several times before he was placed on the ground.

Finally, Floyd had 11 ng of fentanyl in his blood sample, a dosage that would kill most adults, unless they were habitual fentanyl users.

I agree completely with you. A judge establishing guilt before all of the facts are in and teaching her children to do the same thing. That was not a response that should have come from a Supreme Court Justice. Maybe she needed to play politics and say it in this specific instance but she seemed pretty sincere.

I am sure that no matter the facts, a black child’s FEELINGS do not in any immediate sense “see” all the facts, in something like the videos of the George Floyd incident. Amy understood her young black daughter’s feelings, and I am sure discussed things with her daughter in an appropriate way, for a parent, for a Conservative parent.

I say if the cop who used the approved knee-on-neck hold is charged with murder then everyone who signed off on that manual should also be charged with murder. It won't happen. Some or most are probably black.
