What "thousands of people restrained that way"?
Yep, and the cop kneeling on his neck doesn't change the fact that Floyd had 4x a lethal dose of drugs in his body.

That method of restraint is practiced by many police departments. You think Chauvin just tried a new WWF move that day, or you think he's used it before?

I'll just reiterate that anyone not capable of holding in their mind that 2 bad things occurred is either underinformed, or myopically focused and incapable of accepting that two things can be true at once.
