He did none of those things during the incident of his murder. That's the issue.
Had the same set of events played out and he had zero criminal history or activity prior...he'd still be dead. That's not acceptable police protocol.
I'm sure that plenty of you have been arrested drunk and out of control and acted far worse than Floyd did during his arrest. Should you be dead by the cops?
I'm sure plenty of you have done crime amd drugs....then later on had an arrest where you didn't attack the cops or try to run...should you be dead from it?
Cant say I've robbed anyone or been arrested, the guy had a criminal history and did use counterfeit notes, store policy meant call the pigs, who knows why the pig was that much of a macho man he didn't use his brain to handle the matter.
Do men generally like to lose face in front of an audience that's clearly against them, especially when in authority?
I doubt that it would have made him less of a man to sit him down, give some water and wait a few minutes until he co operated or they called back up to shove him into a paddy wagon, some compassion and ability to be rational saves lives.
I doubt there was much empathy for the pregnant female he robbed (dunno if gun inbolved), he was resisting arrest this time, quite frankly as shit as it sounds floyd waa a loser and what do you know ...bad things happen to bad people, people don't always get what they deserve either way but I think overall pigs do what they can in circumstances most of us wouldn't want to deal with.
People who go out and have to deal with people who are causing shit because of drugs, committing crimes, would have heard it all, what drugs and hardened addiction does to entire neighbourhoods . Some will probably just keep on robbing stealing and harming others and leave others with broken lives and loss of honestly earned income. It was a petty charge but counterfeit money is a big deal, tbh.
Just because someone uses drugs that does not mean they have any excuse or right to rip off corner stores, or any other thing pigs get called to. Thats on the drug user, their choices, if they did not cause strife for others because of their choices then they wouldn't have gotten such a low opinion from police (or society in general).
Cops have not got the respect of people because of pigs like Chauvin and endless crooked cop scenarios either.
Anyway, the pay out has basically been the response, seems to have fixed the entire issue, right?
