I’m with you, George Floyd was a scumbag waste of life, way worse of a person than Chauvin. Idk how it’s swept under the rug that he was driving under the influence of illegal drugs that caused his driving to be impaired.
The fact that he is celebrated as the prime example of the African American plight against law enforcement is depressing.
That said Chauvin shouldn’t have been a police officer, he gives LE a bad name. Rob I know you used to bounce, as did I, and I know how that little bit of power can go to your head, but these cops who think they are above the law are a menace to society. Also I don’t think DC killed GF, I think he’s a scapegoat.
Should have stuck to your guns..This last statement tends to contradict yourself. He had rookies... rookies telling him to let up and he ignored them. Someone died because of it.
In the Law Enforcement world, we have this unwritten rule. You'll have to trust me on this one because it sounds ridiculous, but you ask any seasoned cop from a major city they will confirm it. You can resist all you want. Hell, we expect it. Run from us, pull away from us, wrestle a little bit... but never ever throw a punch at us.. and we'll try our best to arrest you, throw you to the ground, knee you, pain compliance you, pepper spray you, Tazer you, until we get you in handcuffs. After that, it's over. We don't want to kill you. It's rare we even wish injury to you .It's business, it's part of the job. No hard feelings.
But in this case, there was so much feedback, dialogue, etc that the officer beyond a doubt, showed he was incapable of adhering to the rules and it killed a human.
That's just not out job
