    He certainly didn’t deserve to die... but like... just listen man... if he just stepped out of the car when asked and did what was asked of him this would’ve never happened. That’s not me saying he deserved it or it should’ve happened, but I don’t see how you could argue otherwise that if he would’ve just listened this would’ve never happened.

    And an article pointed out these facts....

    George Floyd was experiencing cardiopulmonary and psychological distress minutes before he was placed on the ground, let alone had a knee to his neck.
    The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) allows the use of neck restraint on suspects who actively resist arrest, and George Floyd actively resisted arrest on two occasions, including immediately prior to neck restraint being used.
    The officers were recorded on their body cams assessing George Floyd as suffering from “excited delirium syndrome” (ExDS), a condition which the MPD considers an extreme threat to both the officers and the suspect. A white paper used by the MPD acknowledges that ExDS suspects may die irrespective of force involved. The officers’ response to this situation was in line with MPD guidelines for ExDS.
    Restraining the suspect on his or her abdomen (prone restraint) is a common tactic in ExDS situations, and the white paper used by the MPD instructs the officers to control the suspect until paramedics arrive.
    Floyd’s autopsy revealed a potentially lethal concoction of d**** — not just a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl, but also methamphetamine. Together with his history of d*** abuse and two serious heart conditions, Floyd’s condition was exceptionally and unusually fragile.
    Chauvin’s neck restraint is unlikely to have exerted a dangerous amount of force to Floyd’s neck. Floyd is shown on video able to lift his head and neck, and a robust study on double-knee restraints showed a median force exertion of approximately approximately 105lbs.

    You can also see and listen that the man was distressed and seems like he was having a panic attack.
    Given his history with being locked up and being shot, it could have been like ptsd for him.
    One of the points of the protest is to get the proper people to help diffuse these situations. I didn’t the cops try to calm him down.
    Sure he might have had d**** in his system, but even then they should know or at least try to get him to safe state instead of manhandling him and saying “stop resisting”

    I don't understand that people can't understand that trauma response is real. There is nothing that they did that was right.

    I just saw a video of Candace owens blaming it on d****, and that's why he couldn't breathe.

    The bodycam footage makes you incredible angry. Even more than at the beginning.

    These types of situations are never black and white and that’s what makes it worse

    Should he have died? No. Both George and the cops could’ve prevented this.

    There are several narratives on both sides of this that are simply not the case in my opinion.

    Regardless. Cop that killed deserves punishment. Other cops will most likely be acquitted

    An owner of a nightclub mentioned that Chauvin was aggressive with black clientele during his time as a security guard

    Is there actual evidence of this though?

    I end up confused on how to talk about it because part of me wants to say

    "____ was a s***ty cop," when they do something terrible but then its like this is literally what the police were designed to do, they're just getting caught now

    And...

  • Aug 7, 2020

    I get a***yzing exactly what happened like "At this point in the interaction he did __ instead of ___" but this doesn't seem to matter as much when he:

    1. Shouldn't under any circumstances have had a knee on his neck like that, especially for such a long period of time to where it became increasingly sadistic and evil

    2. Shouldn't have had to fear for his life when interacting with the police, because in theory they are supposed to apprehend and bring them to the station for justice if they allegedly committed a crime, so that they can go through the due process

    From my perspective there's so much about this that throws that "he wasn't following instructions" point out the window but that's just how I'm looking at it

    Dude was brutally suffocated for the better part of ten minutes. I really am not here for making any excuses for police when it's such a f***ed up "organization" or big man "gun club" running around thinking they're cowboys reeling in the wild west

    the new footage changes nothing its still 2nd degree murder (according to their law) and that he was having some type panic attack prior to everything (like anyone which has dealing cops in the past has) gives me more reasons to put them in jail

    we need mental health experts on the field not ex military guys all they know to do is shoot people nothing else

    everything would stayed the same if it that footage came out

    With the fear of the police always hovering in peoples minds, mixed with the probability that one may have mental instability, anxiety, stress, or other issues that add to the trauma,

    the police were not taking anything of this nature into consideration and i think if someone is given the authority by law to be able to do this type of s*** to another human being, the f***ing law is unjust.

    You're right, but that's not the main point of what happened. This dude was for real murdered idc what their occupations are with the f***ing badge and uniform on.

    I'm not mad at u saying it but just the whole event and police behavior as a whole
