the results are not pretty for EVERYBODY).

The results of that botched arrest destroyed parts of this city and even other parts of the country and the world. That arrest was botched, and as it turns out, letting him go with a warning would have saved lives, maybe even his.

Not the results of the arrest, but the results of non-enforcement of existing anti-riot laws.

PS. How would YOU handle the arrest of big, rowdy, drugged out but ultimately fragile and mentally deficient guy who absolutely dead seat of not going back inside? Tazer? Tranquilizer darts? That'd kill him for sure. Just let anybody who refuses to be arrested go? Isn't it what "progressive" DAs tried in SF, Oakland and such?

Never forget how the media played the incident, over and over and over again, just as they did the edited Rodney King video. They stoked the flames that resulted in dozens of innocent people being killed, many more injured, hundreds of businesses ruined, and the racial divide made wider than it ever was before.

No, we don’t need to let him go. Slap some cuffs on him, which they did. And if he refuses to lie down or sit and wait for the ambulance then track him. Put an rfid on him like a apple airtag. But don’t have three officers kneel on his corpse for two minutes after he stops breathing, on cell phone cameras! It’s not rocket science. They screwed up a rather simple task, in a big way.

Yes the media made more of it than it needed to be. But the officers botched this one big time. When you kneel on a guy until two minutes after he’s dead, you have failed bigly. It’s amazing that people can see kneeling on a sick, drugged but at that point defenseless man, long enough to see him say I can’t breath, call to his mother that he is dying and then die, only to have them kneel on him for another two minutes after he met his maker, as ok.

You haven't watched the bodycam footage, HAVE YOU?

Been around forever, and you've never bothered to check.

Stop having opinions before you actually have all the information you can obtain.

yeah, poor guy

PeopleUnited says

I hope you never get treated like that.

rule no. 1 don't fight with police
rule no. 2 don't forget rule no. 1

Actually rule number one would be don’t do drugs. But if you do, I guess people think it’s ok to kneel on you until your corpse has been limp for two minutes.

Pfff, track him? He'll rid of that tracking device and cuffs in 10 minutes after he's out of sight and reconnected with his ghetto buddies.

This leftoid touchy-feely "why didn't you shoot him in the leg with a paintball marker" shit doesn't work IRL.

Except, the kneeling didn't kill him. Read the official autopsy report that Patrick posted.

PeopleUnited,

While you defend the sainted memory of George Floyd against these ravenous wolves in here, just remember, you have a friend that agrees with you:

Pelosi Thanks George Floyd for 'Sacrificing Your Life for Justice' After Verdict

8 officers involved in Jayland Walker's shooting death are back on active duty, officials say

The shooting death of Walker, a black man, sparked protests and criminal prosecution of the officers, who were ultimately not indicted by a grand jury in the incident

Walker shot at police prior to fleeing his car. During the chase, officers determined that he was again going to shoot because he had reached into his waistband. Walker was killed, being shot 46 times by a number of police officers on the scene.

"By all accounts, Jayland Walker was a good person, a good man."

Surprise, surprise. The family has filed a $45 million lawsuit against the City of Akron, the Police Department and the Police Chief.

Moral of the story; shooting at armed police officers is never a good choice. You really could end up dead.

He died under the knees of the police. The cameras tell the same story. Cause of death? Stupidity on all parties. Everyone at the scene, including the deceased f’d up big time that day.

And then what? O knoes!

By the way I never said let him run away, I said follow him/track him. Put on the leg cuffs!

Just under no circumstances kneel on his corpse!!!!

Hahahahaha! You funny!! Nice strawman is that made of your dirty toilet paper because it sure smells like it!

I’m not calling the deceased a saint. I’m calling out the abject failure of the cops who knelt on their criminal suspect for two minutes after he died, the irresponsible crowd who unnecessarily distracted the cops, the ambulance that was slow to arrive and the stupid store owner/employee who never should have accepted the fake $20 let alone waste the time and effort to call the police over a matter of $20. Did they ever get that $20 back?

The Fall of Minneapolis

original link


Minneapolis PD Policy in force authorizing MRT (Maximum Restraint Technique) at the time Officer Chauvin used it is Policy# 5-316.

Multiple FIB Agents were present in the Coroner's office demanding a briefing within 24 hours of Floyd's Arrest and Overdose Death.

An issue that was completely a local crime with no interstate characteristics and not relevant to federalization.

Note the date is the 26th of May; Floyd was arrested the afternoon of the 25th.

Who was the official arresting officer of George Floyd?

Alex Kueng, who is Black.
