Hard to believe you’re still defending Floyd.....he was a dead man walking before the police even arrived.
I never defended Floyd.
The issue is the civil rights — not of a black man, but of any citizen whatsoever.
Once you are in police custody they have an affirmative duty to take care of you.
So if you call 911 cause someone’s breaking down your door, and the cops decide to stop at Dunkin Donuts first, you or your next of kin cannot sue them.
But once you are in custody, they are responsible.
And Mr. Kneecap is on (unedited, live, from six feet away) film,
keeping his knee on the neck of a handcuffed guy
when he says he can’t breathe
when he passes out
when his fellow cop says, hey, he doesn’t have a pulse
The term in Minnesota Law which fulfills 3rd degree murder is not intent, but Depraved Indifference.
For a trained, 19-year-veteran first responder to not do CPR on a man in cuffs, when his own parter just told him the guy has no pulse, fits that to a T.
No matter what caused his heart to stop.
“dead man walking”
Same like me, same like you.
But that’s a cool phrase so, you know...
I think what Grey_Whiskers is DEFENDING is the RULE of LAW!
By the way... what time is the KKK meeting at your place?
