Initially I found the police treatment of Floyd callous and sad in that he was crying for his mama and said he couldn't breathe. And the breathing problems were real obviously, whatever the cause. But apparently this type of maneuver was taught cops so he was following procedure. You could have a discussion about police procedure, perhaps be more sensitive to distress. But what pisses me off was the immediate blame put on racism. Where is the evidence the cop was racist? And where is the evidence Chauvin meant to kill the dude? He even knew he was being filmed, apparently didn't think he was doing anything wrong. His fellow diverse cops also didn't intervene. So the whole BLM thing is based on a false premise. And basically all the publicized cop black "murders" involve criminal situations. Remember the Michael Brown "hands up don't shoot" incident? The blacks still use this slogan even after it was proven false, under Obama administration. Can't they find even one incident where the cop is unambiguously wrong?
How does a white man dare to be a cop today?
I appreciate anyone that can reevaluate initial information and revisit their own opinion.
There's a stunning lack of that. Everyone is quick to blast out and opinion and more likely than not will double down on a poor position when confronted with new information.
It was always obvious to me. I mean he wasnt choked to death. He was saying 'I can't breathe' not 'stop choking me'
He couldn't breathe because he was suffering a heart attack and there was a lack of oxygenated blood getting to his lungs. This gives you the same feeling of suffocation even though air is passing through your trachea.
If you're choking or strangulating someones windpipe it will take about 60 to 90 seconds to suffocate them. Not 9 minutes.
Also you're the first person to raise the issue of chauvins awareness that he was being recorded and how that should be interpreted as far as his intent.
Its amazing to me that everything mitigating this was virtually dismissed by the court. And what we got was actually injustice. Mob rule prevailed and the world cheered.
Thats great if you hate cops or believe in blm but to ignore obvious facts because it agrees with the mob is dangerous when the issue is something you are opposed to and the truth is ignored to appease the mob it might start to resonate.
