I understand you. To you, 1. that person ceases to have any value as a person, due to mental state as normal people do not resist. Or 2. Maybe you consider the life of somebody that has committed a felony previously and the police know about it, simply forfeit and the next encounter, as some sick twisted service you empower policemen to perform as they deem necessary.Yes, but what is it called when it is a felon resisting arrest, high on three different drugs.
This is wrong. He was no longer a threat to public or the officers with 3:1 advantage and subject pinned to the pavement. The courts agreed.
If you think he deserved death, Congratulations! Floyd is dead. You win. If you think the officers had the right to squeeze the last breath out of the man, instead of cuffing him (hand and foot if necessary) you are wrong, and the courts upheld, you are wrong by guilty verdict in the case. You are saddened, but safer for this decision, as it does affirm, a cop on the side of the street does not have the right to squeeze the breath out of you or your wife until dead on the side of the road, and it serves as a warning to other cops not to do so in the future.
