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.
I understand the frustrations of people and their opinion of what they believe the video’s reveal. However when posters start trash mouthing others and attempt to intimidate those searching for facts they’ve gone well beyond “discussion”.
I din’t see discussions on what’s the puddle of what appears could be voimit/fluid next to Floyds mouth on the pavement. Had he been drinking? Nor about the Officers saying “don’t do drugs” to those standing around. Were there ‘other’ medical issues etc.etc.etc.
I’m not justifying the officers actions nor criticizing them because I’m fully aware not everything happening there is being reported yet. There are too many holes in this happening to make a judgement call this was intentional murder.
