George Floyd killing and the aftermath

[Tgo01]

If you consider that resisting, I don't know what to tell you. It was the least resistance I've ever seen. It is almost like cops are trained to just yell out "stop resisting" regardless.

Resisting arrest just means any action that impedes an officer from arresting someone. It can be as simple refusing to place your hands behind your back and holding them still while an officer places handcuffs on you, which is exactly what he was doing. Then flat out refusing to get into the back of the police car was even more resisting.

Clearly the officers could have just called in a police van which would have been a lot easier to put him inside of. Maybe that's what they were waiting for, I don't know. I don't think it took 4 guys applying their weight to him on the ground when George Floyd wasn't being violent, he just wasn't being cooperative.

It's gonna be up to a jury now to decide their fates. But it does piss me off that the media covered up key facts of the case and continue to try to cover up key facts and the local police still haven't released the bodycam footage.

The only key fact you need is that an office knelt on his neck and killed him, and continued kneeling on his neck for an additional minute after he was dead. There were FOUR officers. It was completely unnecessary and excessive. It was murder from an officer that, via his extensive record, has shown he feels he is above the law. He felt he could murder someone in broad daylight in the middle of the street. He is fucking garbage.

Just watched the video again; George Floyd himself is the one who asked the officers to lay him on the ground because he couldn't breathe.

No idea why they were on top of him though, the leaked footage cuts off right after they placed him on the ground.

One thing is for sure: the body cam footage totally destroys the narrative that the cops were a bunch of racist assholes looking for a black man to kill.

Doesn’t Floyd and that officer have some not good history? I heard that played a role in it.

I always felt Floyd was specifically targeted by his killer. They had a past, and while it is claimed they didn't know each other, they knew and worked for the same people.

All I ever heard about that was a business owner who claimed they both worked for her years ago. For all we know she made it up for attention or got people mixed up.

That doesn't really fit the bodycam footage though. First they tried to put him in the back of the police car and George Floyd kept screaming that he couldn't breathe, then he begged for them to put him on the ground again because he couldn't breathe.

It's not clear why they felt it took 4 people to apply pressure to him as he was laying on the ground, but George Floyd asked to be put on the ground and he was screaming he couldn't breathe for a couple of minutes before they even put him on the ground.

The bodycam footage pretty much destroys each and every single narrative we have been told to believe about this case and honestly I'm pissed that I have once again fell for the false narratives being pushed by the same bad actors who always push false narrative; namely the mainstream media.

Like I said from the beginning the officer should have known the bad optics of literally kneeling on the neck of a black man, but the officers didn't throw him on the ground in order to kill him like the media told us, George Floyd BEGGED to be placed on the ground and the officers complied with his request.

Regardless of what happened beforehand, none of it changes anything about after knee met neck.

Yup, that's where he fucked up. He would probably still be patrolling the streets right now if he hadn't done that.

He should have been taken off the force years ago.
