It should have been released in full from the start. That was part of the problem. Yes the POS that had hi sknee on Floyd’s neck for 5 minutes to an hour depending on what news you read is an idiot and deserves what he gets but had Floyd simply complied he’d be walking around today.
I watched the video
I don’t think he’s a POS anymore.
Even a guy in cuffs that IS THAT ####ING HIGH can do damage and he’s was flying.
He couldn’t breathe before they even did ANYTHING in the car.
Because he had a ton of hardcore drugs, including fent, in him
Questionable.
He was apparently already in physical distress before he was proned. They laid him down because he was in distress sitting up. He may have already been in physical distress before they got him out of the car.
There is a point that I think Floyd realized what was happening to him when he says I’m dead, not I’m dying but I’m dead. This could have been the moment when he realized that fentanyl had already run its course. Then and only then did he give his last messages to his loved ones.
Yes, I think the officers should have noticed the possibility of a drug overdose and maybe had they done so that could have saved his life. But had they just let him go without proper treatment that would probably not have changed his fate at all.
And the rioting and looting would then be because they didn’t save him from an overdose ... because it was opportunistic anyway (if not Floyd then some other excuse) on the part of those wanting to either tear the nation apart or else just get free stuff.
