    Default What's the story with floyd?

    I'm not jumping to conclusions given how often the media lies. what went down? I've only seen brief out of context video clips.

    He couldn't breathe. That's pretty much it.

    It looks like the police fucked up. Saw video where he seemed to be cooperating and not resisting

    Regardless the looting is ridiculous. Stealing an air fryer from Target isn’t gaining sympathy from me

    Also these black looters aren’t protecting theme selves from the Chinese virus

    4 Cops seem to have 'subdued' the guy, but one Cop kept his knee on the guys neck as the guy muttered "I can't breathe" over and over. Supposedly this went on for over 5 minutes, while bystanders were telling the Cops "He can't breathe". Then, to make matters worse, the guy dies in the Hospital.

    Citizens want 'Suspects' arrested, but don't want 'Police Brutality' involved, ... since any one of us could become a 'Suspect' one day.

    The Minnesota PD used ketamine to calm down violent suspects but that was heavily criticised as well. Maybe they should try kittens and crayons?

    He broke the law, was high or on drugs, resisted arrest, play stupid games win stupid prizes, but joggers gonna jog.

    I don't remember the riots when the unarmed white kid crying and on his knees begging for his life in a hotel hallway got sprayed by automatic fire from SWAT.

    Pretty sure the officer didn't even get fired in that case but ya know joggers gonna jog.

    my take:

    The knee: It seems like it was a normal thing to do but they did it for too long. Remember there were 4 other cops in the scene and there was even the asian one keeping everyone back. They also knew they were being recorded. This leads me to believe that the knee thing was a standard submission technique. What I dont understand is why they kept doing it. Its not like the perp could have run away.

    The Cause of Death: I really doubt he was choked out by the knee. You can see a lot of space in between his neck and the ground which meant he could breath. He was even turning his head from one side to another. My guess is they kept him on the ground instead of dragging him off because they were calling for an ambulance as one did arrive on the scene in that video.

    My initial guess: Excessive force and they were already terminated but not racism. When something is racist you would know like that jogger in central park. Im not sure why people claim race plays a factor here.

    Idiot cop killed a black man by being a literal idiot and suffocating the black man with his knee on his neck.

    Automatically: racist.

    Then on cue, the BLM types go on a rampage, breaking and looting and harassing cops that literally had nothing to do with it and are almost certainly as pissed about it as they are.

    Rinse, repeat.
