George Floyd. The Truth Is Out. (Finally)

[MaryL]

At least more of the truth. For however long, the news has been making it look like the cops murdered a cooperative black guy they arrested, apparently because they had nothing better to do at the time. Causing many riots and protests. Well last night they finally showed a little more of the story.

They showed a cop on the passenger side back door trying to subdue the soon to be dead Floyd. No doubt Floyd was kicking at him. It showed the hero cop who would end up with his knee on the back of Floyd's neck to subdue him going to open the drivers side back door. What was shown at least showed Floyd putting up a fight.

Now, I would like to see the rest of the video. Which would show Floyd being dragged out of the drivers side back seat and how he ended up at the front of the cop car with the officers knee on the back of his neck. No doubt Floyd was putting up more struggle from the back seat area to the front of the cop car.

Why is the news wrongfully portraying the incident. They also made a big deal about the cop keeping his knee on Floyd's neck even after he stopped moving. But Floyd's condition wasn't caused by the knee on his neck. So why should the cop have moved it. Especially when just before then he was putting up a fight. All this coddling of criminals makes me sick. Least of all the negro ones. The cops don't have an easy job. They are almost like soldiers on the front line. A little excess on their part should be excused. They need to be supported. Not vilified.

I hate to break it to you, but the answer to your question, "Why should the cop have moved it?" pretty much says everything that needs to be said to this sad attempt at excuses: BECAUSE THAT'S POLICE BRUTALITY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED. There is no circumstance under which it is okay, or proper police procedure, or justifiable, to kneel on a guy's neck for 8 minutes.

Um. I doubt the cop meant to kill this perp, it got out of hand. People make mistakes. Heat of the moment...but that leads us into the ASSHOLES that are rioting. They are planning deliberately and cynically launch anti anything (Fill in the blank, Police, whites, capitalism, what?) The riots springing from this event aren't any more justifiable, but here we are...

The one thing you either are unaware of or ignoring is the Use of Force Continuum which (to the best of my knowledge) is pounded into law enforcement officers in this nation over and over again. Basically it means if the subject escalates you escalate, if the subject de-escalated, you de-escalate. Let that sink in........
Floyd was on the ground and cuffed with multiple officers around him and was not resisting at that point, de-escalation, the officer should at that point have stood up and if Floyd had re-escalated then the officers could have easily re-subdued him. The officer kneeling on Floyd's neck the whole time should have known this and stood up when Floyd began complaining that he couldn't breathe, the officer made a bad decision that cost a man his life. At best the officer was negligent based on the Use of Force Continuum.

Cops are basically at war. Every day they risk their lives. Every day they experience the worst that mankind has to offer. Only an idiot would expect perfect behavior from them. I could maybe see him getting fired. But to be charged with murder is a ******* joke! Now if the cop had him down and then decided to shoot him in the head, THAT would have been murder. (kind of) Next, after Floyd started complaining about not being able to breathe, the cops could have quickly unlocked one of his handcuffs and ran away. It wouldn't have changed things. The guy was obviously having a heart attack. Did you know blacks are 20 times more likely to die before the age of 50 from heart failure than Whites? But no. Let's have all you fools supporting all the protests and riots instead.

Thanks. At long last someone else is coming to see the light of truth rather than jump on the lynch mob rioter bandwagon. Supporting the police involved in this incident has been a very lonely position. We know why the media—all media, everywhere—is broadcasting/reporting/perpetuating the lie that Floyd was some ******* angelic fluffy bunny slain by shadow knight cops: cash, cash and leftist ******* propaganda. Floyd was a violent convicted felon and a real big man, physically. The police officers did what they had to do, it's that ******* simple and always was, from the start. Law enforcement isn't pretty but it is damn necessary. Children rioting in the streets are in truth rioting against the authority of enforced order. They'd die in a day in a nation fallen to pure anarchy.

Do you want to really know how to stop police brutality? Stop ******* committing crimes. For some reason liberals tell their children, lie, steal and cheat, because we do it all the time, so you can too, just dont get caught, but if you do get caught resist as much as you can. That way the liberal can say it is police brutality and get their 5 minutes of fame, even if it kills them...

I'm a former LEO.......... I worked both State and Federal. Think I know a tad bit more about it than you do. You are over exagerating, I said NOTHING about un-cuffing him or even letting him stand up but there was NO NEED for the officer to stay kneeling on Floyd's neck the whole time. That was obvious so take your clueless bull shit and stuff it.

 

[quarantine]

Where is the video? And if he was in the back seat cuffed, why take him back out?

I saw the video on the news last night. I don't have it on hand. But I bet if you looked it up,m you would find it. Also, I told you what the video showed. The back door was open on the passenger side and one of the cops was struggling with Floyd. And Floyd was no doubt leaning back and kicking at the cop. though I haven't seen all the video, (of course) it's possible that at one point the back car door was closed. But then Floyd probably started kicking the shit out of it. On that TV show "Cops," I've seen that happen a few times. At which point they usually take them back out to hog tie them to keep them from kicking.

Negative. I'm sure that the man on the ground did and/or said some stupid shit. He shouldn't have died over it. He was subdued. There was no reason to do that for the length of time he did.

Stupid should never be rewarded. But at the same time the level on punishment on said stupid needs to be addressed. And not by the cop, but by courts. Even if the guy lived and I saw that video, I'm thinking that's some bullshit right there.

He held the man down for almost 10 minutes after he "subdued" him.

The cops are not allowed to be executioners.

What part of "only the force necessary to subdue" don't you understand?

When he stopped fighting, they had a legal duty to simply restrain him and put him in the back of the car.

NOTHING he did prior to that gang execution justified that cop putting a knee on his neck for 8 ******* MINUTES.

He murdered him. This is no hero cop. He is no better than the people who kill others.

Why don't you look at the video again instead of being told what to think about it. That cop's knee on the back of his neck was reasonable and necessary. When he stopped moving, why should the cop have moved. All he was doing was holding him in place. Despite what all the idiots have to say, the cop wasn't cutting off his air. If Floyd couldn't breathe, it wasn't because of what the cop was doing. And after fighting with the cops, anybody who thinks he should have been given a kiss and told a bedtime story instead can piss off and die. The guy was a criminal. Deal with it.

There was NOTHING reasonable with the knee on the back of his neck for 8 minutes. The man was controlled and restrained after one minute.

Stop justifying this killing. Just stop it.

He wasn't killed. He just died. The knee on the back of his neck had absolutely nothing to do with his death. You can see it in the video. Floyd's windpipe wasn't being crushed. Floyd got all worked up, started fighting and apparently had a heart attack. But you know how worthless negroes are. Any excuse for looting is a good one.

They had Floyd handcuffed and in the police car. All that was left was to drive off and to book him.

Then they dragged him out again for a little sadistic exercise. The lynch mob was kneeling on his neck until he was dead.

The vicarious lynch mob - that would be you and quarantine - is just as depraved as is Chauvin. If there's one silver lining in this story - there aren't all that many of that bottom-of-the-barrel sort around.

So what was your deal. Were you to fat to do anything but desk work? Were you a cop who worked in mostly White areas? Though only being 14% of the population, blacks are responsible for at least 52% of the crime. Though I think it's more than that. Is that over exaggerating? Just because you were a cop doesn't give you the right to say how that cop acted. Because you don't know the kind of shit he may have experienced. Which likely influenced his actions. Also, how do you know what kind of mood the officer was in for any shit from Floyd.

Next, was it your knee on Floyd's neck? If not, how can you say you know how much pressure he was putting on it. At any rate, to me it looked like Floyd's windpipe was free and clear.

They showed a cop on the passenger side back door trying to subdue the soon to be dead Floyd. No doubt Floyd was kicking at him. It showed the hero cop who would end up with his knee on the back of Floyd's neck to subdue him going to open the drivers side back door. What was shown at least showed Floyd putting up a fight.

Now, I would like to see the rest of the video. Which would show Floyd being dragged out of the drivers side back seat and how he ended up at the front of the cop car with the officers knee on the back of his neck. No doubt Floyd was putting up more struggle from the back seat area to the front of the cop car.

Why is the news wrongfully portraying the incident. They also made a big deal about the cop keeping his knee on Floyd's neck even after he stopped moving. But Floyd's condition wasn't caused by the knee on his neck. So why should the cop have moved it. Especially when just before then he was putting up a fight. All this coddling of criminals makes me sick. Least of all the negro ones. The cops don't have an easy job. They are almost like soldiers on the front line. A little excess on their part should be excused. They need to be supported. Not vilified.

The one thing you either are unaware of or ignoring is the Use of Force Continuum which (to the best of my knowledge) is pounded into law enforcement officers in this nation over and over again. Basically it means if the subject escalates you escalate, if the subject de-escalated, you de-escalate. Let that sink in........
Floyd was on the ground and cuffed with multiple officers around him and was not resisting at that point, de-escalation, the officer should at that point have stood up and if Floyd had re-escalated then the officers could have easily re-subdued him. The officer kneeling on Floyd's neck the whole time should have known this and stood up when Floyd began complaining that he couldn't breathe, the officer made a bad decision that cost a man his life. At best the officer was negligent based on the Use of Force Continuum.

Cops are basically at war. Every day they risk their lives. Every day they experience the worst that mankind has to offer. Only an idiot would expect perfect behavior from them. I could maybe see him getting fired. But to be charged with murder is a ******* joke! Now if the cop had him down and then decided to shoot him in the head, THAT would have been murder. (kind of) Next, after Floyd started complaining about not being able to breathe, the cops could have quickly unlocked one of his handcuffs and ran away. It wouldn't have changed things. The guy was obviously having a heart attack. Did you know blacks are 20 times more likely to die before the age of 50 from heart failure than Whites? But no. Let's have all you fools supporting all the protests and riots instead.

I'm a former LEO.......... I worked both State and Federal. Think I know a tad bit more about it than you do. You are over exagerating, I said NOTHING about un-cuffing him or even letting him stand up but there was NO NEED for the officer to stay kneeling on Floyd's neck the whole time. That was obvious so take your clueless bull shit and stuff it.

So what was your deal. Were you to fat to do anything but desk work? Were you a cop who worked in mostly White areas? Though only being 14% of the population, blacks are responsible for at least 52% of the crime. Though I think it's more than that. Is that over exaggerating? Just because you were a cop doesn't give you the right to say how that cop acted. Because you don't know the kind of shit he may have experienced. Which likely influenced his actions. Also, how do you know what kind of mood the officer was in for any shit from Floyd.

Next, was it your knee on Floyd's neck? If not, how can you say you know how much pressure he was putting on it. At any rate, to me it looked like Floyd's windpipe was free and clear.

you do know thats not why he died???

it was the pressure on his body not his windpipe,,,

Negative. I'm sure that the man on the ground did and/or said some stupid shit. He shouldn't have died over it. He was subdued. There was no reason to do that for the length of time he did.

Stupid should never be rewarded. But at the same time the level on punishment on said stupid needs to be addressed. And not by the cop, but by courts. Even if the guy lived and I saw that video, I'm thinking that's some bullshit right there.

When you fight with the cops, expect rough treatment. That is something the rioters and protesters should keep in mind. The only thing that matters is that the cop didn't kill Floyd. I saw the cops knee on Floyd's neck. It wasn't cutting off his windpipe. So when he said, "I can't Breathe!, it wasn't because of what the cop was doing.

He held the man down for almost 10 minutes after he "subdued" him.

The cops are not allowed to be executioners.

If it was most people, they could have been held in that position for hours without dying. Does that sound like much of an executioner?

That's why he's specifically charged with Manslaughter and Murder 3, basically Negligent or Reckless Homacide.
