He supposedly passed a counterfeit $20.
It’s not like he was shooting up a gay nightclub in Florida with semiautomatic weapons while shouting Aloha Snackbar or anything.
They could’ve put chocks on his car wheels so he couldn’t drive away and waited for him to get out of the car to go to the bathroom.
Or quietly given him a citation or arrested him at home a couple of days later.
I think you’re right.
My biggest cringe is how the cop kept his knee on the guy’s neck while he said he couldn’t breathe.
It’s possible the combo of blood circ. issues, a stoppage of hearty breaths, some drinking going on....all combined to cause his death.
But that cop should have removed his knee from the guy’s neck as soon as he said he couldn’t breathe. Lord, he was already down on the ground and handcuffed for God’s sake.
I’ll wrap my opinion by saying, based on naught but my own instinct, that the cop probably would handled a white man, under the same circumstances, the same way.
But it was what it was so we get free TV’s.
Aloha Snackbar
Excellent. A much needed laugh in the middle of all of this...
A counterfeit $20 bill? I know I got a fake $50 dollar bill a year ago. If he knew about it, okay, he should not have done it but if it was an accident (like mine was, even the police said I had a great fake.) he shouldn’t be beaten. Was he resisting arrest. Heard he was in the police car.
