I think that he was a dead man walking.....the kneeling on the neck was a bad optic, and should have been stopped sooner, but I don't think it killed the man....looks like he was in a state of excited delirium and there was nothing the cops could do but restrain him....why else have three cops holding him down....

I've had plenty of condemnation of the cops over the yrs....many times they make their own bed....

but the let law take care of it...

“but I don’t think it killed the man...”

A couple of coroners disagree.

looks like he was in a state of excited delirium

I had never heard that term until this past weekend when I found an article, written by someone in law enforcement, saying that he thought this was what Floyd was experiencing. He had fentynl in his bloodstream and, according to this author, that can produce "excited delirium". Also, something about it will cause problems with the respirtory system (I can't breathe).

I wish the media would quit calling this a murder until all of the facts surrounding it are known. I think a jury, when informed of what was in his system, and how that might have affected his behavior, if they are honest, will probably acquit the cop.

I hate it that we all seem to jump to conclusions when we don't have all the facts. We have one image; and, it is a damning image; but, there was something going on before that image took place, and I want to know what that was.
