I watched the video(s) because it was being discussed so much in media, and while the officer was clearly not attending to a person in medical distress, he also wasn't killing him. The thousands of people restrained that way with less than a 4x lethal dose of fentanyl survived the encounter.
The whole thing is unfortunate, and the criminal aspect of the Floyd/Chauvin encounter is relevant because if Floyd had not been involved in criminal activity, he'd have died in his car rather in in police custody.
As I said, I apologize for neither the cop, nor the robber. |
That he had drugs in his system and common health issues does not change the fact that the cop kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes
for no good reason. Does it complicate the case? Yes. But it's also another reason NOT to kneel on someone's neck. The guy's pleading for his life because he can't breathe and the cop snuffed him out on video, just like the Eric Garner case.
What "thousands of people restrained that way"?
