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.

I agree with that completely. There are two sides forming in this Floyd case. One side takes a wait-an-see attitude. That side includes you. The other side is comfortable saying now that the cop committed a murder. That side includes me.
Both sides are using personal attacks. But there’s no doubt that my side is doing it far more often. “Boot licker”, etc. As you noted, that’s not helpful in any discussion. It’s childish. And bullying. And arrogant. And counterproductive.
As to the fluid, it appeared suddenly. Others have guessed that it’s urine, released by Floyd as he died. That makes sense. But who knows? On that I’ll take a wait-an-see attitude.
