Three cops standing around, one cop with his knee to his throat as opposed to getting him off the ground quickly as per procedure. He was sitting in a car being high. His crime was trying to buy something with a counterfeit bill.
Yes, the policemen involved are being prosecuted now but that doesn’t do Floyd any good.
And no, I am totally not ok with mobs descending on the president whose initial response was the right one in condemning the circumstances involved in Floyd’s death. Progressive rule caused this death and now the progressives are trying to tell everyone else what they are allegedly doing wrong in order to try to cover up their own culpability... again.
I don’t think ‘due process’ means what you think it does. I don’t think Floyd was ever actually charged... I’ve never even heard that police were in possession of the alleged fake $20 bill. I’ve heard not a word about the woman who was with Floyd at the time he interacted with the store clerk who called the police (she was described as also ‘acting crazy’ from what I recall).. for that matter I haven’t heard from the store clerk.
Fact is, he was placed in custody... and became the responsibility of the officers... which they failed in obvious ways. If you want to see this dereliction of duty as ‘denial of due process’... fine. That term is usually reserved for actual juridical proceedings.
