and so he was pushed to the ground, penned with a knee to his neck and held there until he died.
No matter how you slice it there is no excuse for what the cops did. They, all four of them, participate in killing the man and it looks like the main perp did it with pleasure.
No excuse for the killing, no excuse for the riots.
no excuse for the cop to do what he did...except he was trained to do just that....
Plus one
He was already dying before they even got to the scene.....he just didn’t know it...nor anything else in his drug stupor.
I agree with what you said - cops should have known better.
I remember seeing a cop on night at the scene of an accident - he was hyped up, sort of stomping around like a wild animal, and he arrested someone who hadn’t done a dang thing wrong - threw him in the back of his car and took off.
When it came time for court this cop “had a flat tire” so didn’t show up and the whole thing was dismissed. The cop had pulled stunts like this before apparently.
I think for some cops the constant turmoil and danger of the job is more than they can handle.
The George Floyd cop should have had a different job after 18 complaints.
Sorry, but the weight of the facts is starting to militate against your preconceived narrative.
Actually, they got Floyd into the squad car and had some kind of struggle with him. Next, he was laid out on the ground with two holding his back and legs and the other, pinning him down with his knee.
You need a realty check on what takes control a drugged suspect.
