Stirring the Racial Pot

No need for police to resort to violent tactics unless their lives are threatened and that is certainly not the case in the Floyd case and most others.

Police are committing crimes.

[quietly lurking this thread to see who else feels that police ought to be held accountable to the same laws that the rest of us are]

I'm getting rather suspicious about the possibility of Trump cult influence being not only entirely pervasive online, but also funded by this violent extremist administration.

1. Floyd allegedly committed an initial crime of fraud.
2. Floyd is on video resisting arrest and acting as if he is under the influence of drugs.
3. Floyd had recently taken illegal substances of fentanyl and meth.
4. The officers laid Floyd out on the ground because he was acting erratic likely because of the drugs in his system.
5. The officer put his knee on Floyd's neck as he was suppose to do, as shown in the Minneapolis police training manual.

6. The latest news is Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.

So, the officer looks not guilty.

The cause of death was strangulation. Should Trump be killed for his fraudulent practices too?

They did it in the beginning, why not now? They're not running much of any television ads, where else is that campaign money going...? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump ... ouncement/

How does one avoid getting banned for inciting racist violence? Apparently she plays it off like a good ole bullet point list of rationalizations.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS.

Definitely someone who feels that police should be able to get away with murder. Good to know....

I still don't think their lives were endangered despite the erratic drug-fuelled behaviour of one suspect.

i don't think placing one's knee on someone's neck can ever be right even if it is in a training manual - potentially very dangerous and I don't think its something which police in my country would be expected to do. The neck is a very vulnerable spot all round.

This individual's authoritarian leanings are very telling. Calloused in the extreme...

None is saying he died from strangulation.

Most likely his problems were because, according to the local medical examiner he took a lethal dose of fentanyl.

The local medical examiner he stated that if he found Floyd at home in the same state, he would of determined his death to be fentanyl overdose.

The police officers were implementing the "Maximal Restraint Technique" as they were taught to do.

As can be read in the image, this technique is meant to help the person breath easier.

You can see in the image, the officer has his knee on the person's neck.

In a democracy, innocent until proven guilty should always apply. I'm afraid our own police service also has "bad apples" who abuse their power and the murder of suspects in minor crimes has happened here too, but it is never justifiable. The way some defenceless individuals who broke lockdown laws were treated, was reminiscent of the heavy handed tactics and atrocities of the apartheid era.

^That "training technique" is just wrong... a police guide book and a medical procedure guide book are unlikely to look the same.

Mr. Floyd was a big man and pumped full of fentanyl.

How should they arrest him when he's resisting arrest?

east is east, west is west, and never the twain shall meet. authoritarians of the right and everybody else who just wants to be left alone and for the right-wing authoritarian harassment to stop, will never get along. i am so sick of this country and of the armies of clueless hypocritical marie antoinettes who only know how to say "obey the(ir) police" and "love it or leave it!"
