I think hog tying would have removed the police department from culpability.
Instead we have a cops knee on a mans neck.
The man died.
See the problem?
No problem..... the drugged out criminal resisted arrest and was taken down and restrained.
The criminal in essence committed suicide by cop. Knowing of his poor health, the criminal got drugged out and then passed a phony $20 bill and then went wild resisting arrest. The number of possible charges is probably at least 5.
The criminal has only one defense....... he is black. Being black in Minneapolis is perceived as a get out of jail and by extension freedom from arrest card.
And...... the drugged out black criminal violated the cops’ (plural possessive ) civil rights to a safe work place
Yes, I do see the problem. George Floyd, likely in an effort to conceal evidence before his impending arrest, ingested a dose of fentanyl THREE TIMES THE FATAL amount.
That’s what killed him. Nothing else. The moment he swallowed those drugs, he was a dead man.
