Daily Mail leaks bodycam footage of George Floyd arrest, killing

No one is saying that he deserved it. This is a false dichotomy, this is why is so hard to argue here. Most comments are saying “look, he appears very high, paranoid, psychotic and all that stuff, he resisted arrest and he had a prior which the cops would know running his plate”. Thats all people are saying, no one is saying he deserved it because he was high, they are saying whatever happened to him at best was increased by being arrested.

The neck chokehold? Complain with the legislator, these are approved techniques. He was having a mental breakdown whatever that means? its not the cops fault. The cops went there for a forgery call (you could discuss whether they should be called for that) and this guy was losing his marbles. Yea it sucks what happened, but there is absolutely nada of murder here. There is no narrative about “I can’t breathe” due to the neck choke, he OD’d sadly and that should be the focus. Cops are going to walk free.
