I cannot stress enough....YOU don’t know what happened. You cannot see all that happened or was happening, Spoken and not. You weren’t there.... and if a few videos could tell all they’d be no reason for our courts or investigations.
I know that if anyone but a policeman were caught on film doing the exact same thing in public, they’d already be incarcerated without the possibility of parole, based on only the videos, and wishful thinking about past rap sheets or drug use be damned.

Caww, you do make a fair point. And one should wait for all the facts to come in...if you are on a jury.
But this is a discussion board. I see no reason for anyone not to express an opinion, if that opinion is based on what is known at that point. I saw the video, and I saw the still photos. I am 99% sure that cop killed that man.
What about that last 1%? Maybe the victim died of a heroin overdose just as the cop put his knee on the man’s neck. It’s possible. Only 1% possible. So yeah, I’m comfortable saying - at this point - that the cop is a murderer.
Consider this as well. If we waited for every last fact to come in on every last issue, there’d be no discussion here at all. We’d all be waiting. So instead I’ll go with the preponderance of the evidence route.
As they say, your mileage may vary.
