The crowd was pleading with police to let Floyd up....Floyd was obvously unconscious and unresponsive and the cop kept his knee on his neck.
The crowd is begging to check his pulse. I never saw this before. I thought the cop couldnt tell.
Fuck man....I dunno.
Has anyone seen that specific video before? With the crowd pleading with police? I had not.
Means nothing. That was the first thing I saw a year ago, they were calling to the little runt cop who was new to the force. People say everything to cops---- the day cops start listening to them all we are all in big trouble. Those people were 15 feet away and none of them doctors.
Its not the crowd in and of itself. I have always thought the cop was negligent, but this was just a bad look for the cops for jurors to see.
It sucks that Floyd was so tweaked out and combative while he was in the backseat of the cop car and he kept screaming I CANT BREATHE!
Perhaps had he not cried wolf, he would still be alive....who knows.
I think it should be like an onvoluntary manslaughter....like when you drive a car wrecklessly and kill someone.
Its a shame Floyd was a serial felon and meth head trying to rip off local businesses with fake bread.
