Where do you people come from?
GF had been combative, refused to get in a car, couldn’t be controlled by 3 officers so they got control by laying him on the sidewalk. If you watched the video he was complaining of SOB from the drugs he took while he was sitting before he was restrained on the ground. The drugs caused pulmonary edema and his lungs were filled with fluid.
The officer’s knee was on his shoulder as proved by video in court. There was no evidence of asphyxiation or bruising at autopsy. There are plenty of times a cop is justified in killing an unarmed person if others are threatened and the person cannot be stopped another way.
It is not an all or nothing “cops can kill people at will or they can’t”. Stop letting the MSM generated anger run your brain.

The issue was never whether Floyd needed to be restrained on the sidewalk or not. The issue was whether it was necessary to kneel on him for that long. From what I saw it wasn't. A handcuffed man lying on the ground complaining of shortness of breath doesn't scare a scrawny woman like me. If it scares a trained police officer then that officer has no business being in the police force.

This would be the same trial in which Chauvin was convicted on ALL charges, yes?

That's strange. Judging from the video there absolutely should have been bruising on Floyd's body from the struggle to get him to the ground, if nothing else. If the autopsy you're referring to shows no bruising then I would suggest that there's your fake autopsy.

You mean like Ashli Babbitt? She didn't have a gun but she did have a backpack. The Boston Marathon bomber also had a backpack in which he concealed his bomb. Give the police enough latitude and they can make up a justification to shoot just about anybody.
