Place your hand on the back of your neck and try to choke yourself.

Then try it from the front.

Compare and contrast.

What’s your point? You DO know I was being sarcastic in my “and I thought drugs killed him” post, right?

he had overdosed on Fentanyl

THAT is why he could not breathe.

He was caught using clown money to buy Fentanyl
and the second team took him to ground.

This is going to be a massive mess. What has transpired is nothing.

Trump will win.
There is zero evidence here the cops said/did/implied anything racist. Of course, they might find something in their backgrond.
Cops shouldn’t have to put up with this shit. Shoot him with a tranquilizer and take him downtown
Ellison is going to have a tough time getting a conviction and when he doesn’t, look out.

Let me understand:

1) One bad cop contributed to the death of a black man. This means all cops are bad.

2) Hundreds of terrorist muslims shouting Allah Akbar kill thousands of Westerners. Islam is a religion of peace and all Islam and muslims are not bad.

3) Deranged (white) man with gun shoots and wounds/kills one or more people. All guns and gun owners are bad.

4) Black gangs shoot/kill/stab/beat other black persons to death in Chicago. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Did I get it right?

Don’t forget the enlarged heart. And not a single scrape, cut, bruise or petechia according to the autopsy.

It doesn't show any such thing. Floyd did not draw his last breath at the arrest scene. He died later at the hospital.

But who cares about accuracy when your headline can inflame instead?

Yep, except you missed this one:

5) Slavery existed in American history, therefore all American history is slavery.

Even if true, is it appropriate for LEO to stick a gun in the face of a man handcuffed in the back seat of a cruiser?

Maybe I got it wrong. Headline may be misleading or misinterpreted. Gun appears to have been drawn before he was handcuffed.

The important part of the video was cut. The area where the cops lawyer said he asked if he should let him up. The senior officer said,”no” The cop asked a number of times.

“It will be proven in the trials.”

My wish is that the truth is found and justice is done.

That said, if the officers are acquitted, what we have seen so far will turn out to be a zephyr compared to the hurricane after an acquittal.

I don’t know. But here is the problem with this whole thing.

When the Somali cop leaned over his partner to shoot a white woman who had called to report a crime and was no threat to anyone it took them eight months of investigation before they charged him. He was on the payroll the whole time.

In this case all four officers were fired immediately and charged with murder.

Do you see any difference there?

These four cops will walk free because there was no investigation and the charges they were hit with are far too extreme.

They didn’t even wait for the toxicology report before charging them. Also remember that Saint Floyd admitted to hooping that day. That by itself is dangerous.

This will all be revealed at the trials when the defense will have a medical expert educate the jurors about all these facts.

Also, it looks like Saint Floyd tried to dispose of a bag of dope. He has been convicted a number of times for drugs. Being caught with drugs again could very well send him away for a long time.

I will be proven right but it will take a year or two for the trials to confirm that.
