    First, based only on the Video, Floyd first began problems with the cops at his own car. He clearly was not following orders and the cops had to work specially with him just to get him to follow orders. Actually there is a law on this matter where the Cops orders must be followed. Cops did not create that law, in the main it was Democrats that created that law.
    Floyd finally was walked over the street to where the cop car was. He got into the car saying he could not breathe. Why was he breathing in his car yet not in the cop car? What caused him to later claim in the cop car he could not breathe? When the cops kneeled on him on the street, he had managed to remove himself from the cop car. Clearly the drugs controlled Floyd. I believe that the defense has a good case and it will improve now that the cop is free on bail.

    They aren't doctors. It's not their job to diagnose people. If you want to ignore the coroner's report so you can feel good about not knowing the facts, that's on you. You can't put a dangerous idiot who is fighting you in the ambulance.

    That's not what the coroners office said, that's what a company hired by this idiots' lawyer came up with. Imagine the surprise...

    Yes. Nothing in my response contests what you said.

    The coroner has ruled it a homicide. The jury will decide if law enforcement was at fault.

    That they will. So sad that criminals like him are memorialized, this is a black eye on society.

    More smoke blowing from the insipidly stubborn right wing mind set. Here's what they can't/won't deal with, dear readers: http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/black-folks-listen-up.574212/page-8#post-1072119911

    I will be paying close attention to this case when it goes to trial. Nothing Floyd did justified the policeman putting a knee on his neck for 8 minutes.

    Nothing that police officer did makes anyone but Mr. Floyd or his family the victim of that crime. To Mr. Floyd and his family goes the suffering. To the rest of us should comes a challenge to choose to overcome what caused it. Mr. Floyd does not have that choice or chance-we the witnesses do. Because we have that choice-we are NOT victims. When I say we I do not presume to speak for any black or anyone else who has felt a personal attack. I speak to the rest of us who witness it.

    I come from a line of holocaust survivors. If we have into the darkness it would have snuffed us out. I don't presume to speak to anyone who suffers just the next generations and say-use it as a lesson to do something better. Don't give in to it. Don't use it to limit yourself in any belief of the positive you can do.

    You're welcome for me pointing out the ways that there is no systemic racism against black people, as the entire system and culture is designed to give them benefits other races don't enjoy.

    Some animals are more equal than others. (Dear unread moderators: that is a quote from a book written by a person known as George Orwell. Look it up before your feels get hurt and you accuse me of calling people animals. thanks)

    I in no way justify the way the black was forced to check out. A lot cops do and I do not always approve what they do.
    Floyd was a special case. Not due to color. He was a very large human and with the drugs in his system, he probably could not control how he fought the officer. The officer I believe followed his training. We will see what a jury decides.

    I want us all to imagine that when Nicole Simpson and the guy were murdered by Simpson, we had rushed to hit the streets looting, burning and pillaging and stealing products as our protest?

    That is what blacks did this time.

    To all kind and decent blacks who refused to play this game, thank you very much. You are excellent humans.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_P...son murder case and is,. O. J. Simpson (1997).

    Most of the people running around now burning down cities are white leftists though.

    The truth is the riots have nothing to do with race. They just want to implement communism under any excuse given.

    We live in the least racist nation on the earth.

    These dopes should go live in China or India if they want to fight racism.

    That would get them killed by those respective governments though.

    So, the officer's training was to keep his knee on the suspect's neck until he stops breathing?

    I am not the court or the Jury and that will be hashed out in the court. FWIW, seems out of line to me for him to do that for that long.

    Are you sure they are all Black? I saw a few Whites out there too.
    Does the Ahmaud Abery case bother you as much as the O.J. Simpson case? Do you hate to see Blacks murdered as much as you hate to see Whites murdered?

    Funny isn't it that whites do join the blacks and for a long time the media does not mention that.

    I do my best not to hate. And any life matters and if one is black, that life matters the same. Do you distinguish based on color of the skin?

    Frankly due to media reporting, we do not know all about many cases. We hear a lot when a black is killed though.

    Here's something you might find hard to believe....

    When someone gets killed by the police, the first thing I ask is: were they being a criminal when they got killed?

    I could give a crap what color a criminal is.

    Don't want to get shot by police?

    Stop being a criminal, living with criminals, and/or engaging in a criminal lifestyle.

    I am not actually positive why the Cops put Floyd in the cop car he said he could not breathe in and to date no report I have read explained why he was put into the cop car. Oh wait, I recall. A report of a counterfeiter. now I recall.
