Guilty

[Gilroy]

I don't think the cop knew how bad a shape Floyd was in - why would you intentionally kill someone with all those cameras watching you - the cop misjudged the situation - he didn't intend to kill him - that's why I believe the murder charge was wrong -

There were three officers on the scene all males, the suspect was handcuffed, if three grown men cannot get a handcuffed man into the back of a police car, maybe they should have chosen another profession.

If you have your knee on someone’s neck for that long, even when they are motionless, you say that is not intent? What is it? ......Forgetfulness? Incompetence?

Did you see how small the back seat of that car was ?? I’ll guarantee on my worst day, three couldn’t get me into that space without using pain or other compliance methods. These guys did not use those pain compliance methods, probably because of the optics, and knowledge they would be criticized !!!!

Handcuff his legs carry him into the back, if three of them are not strong enough, paddy wagon. If no paddy wagon, transport by ambulance two escorts in back, in the end that is how he went.

With a large, resistive guy kicking at you, while you try stuffing him into a small back seat......dream on Gilly ! When have you ever seen an ambulance used to transport a combative prisoner to lockup.....?Give me a break !

If it wasn't for a video, he'd continue on his power tripping ways. Why many of these types of abusive videos surface, we alway get to witness other officers participating or allowing abuse to continue, turning a blind eye?

So it begins ...Mob Rule:....they have no facts...but they show up on massse to protest:

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — A North Carolina deputy shot and killed a Black man while executing a search warrant Wednesday, authorities said, spurring an outcry from a crowd of dozens that immediately gathered at the scene and demanded law enforcement accountability.

Rick, there were many other choices these officers could have made to get him in the car or to the police station. Obviously with all these other tools at their disposal they chose that the best way was the knee on the neck. The officers were in control of the scene and had options. They chose the profession and had training. If they can’t do the job......

No fentanyl + no resisting arrest = No death, no riots, no looting and no story for the media to sell

Good People in places of authority = respect = better moral = more trust = less suspicion = less death (accidents do happen) = no rioting = no looting

The root goes deeper than just drugs and resisting.
