    Resisting arrest is not punishable by death. The cop is not a jury. If you choose to resist, the punishment should be reasonably forceful arrest.

    Also, some of the people you think were resisting arrest were sleep in their apartment. So…?

      Some of the picture that you’re conveniently omitting:

      George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).

      George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.

      At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).

      George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.

      Derek’s knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.

      There’s conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let’s not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

      So stop with the propaganda.

        Ah, the high risk situation of being called to deal with a man falsely accused of a non-violent crime, and an unruly mob of people keeping their distance and “begging the men with guns and armor not to murder a man in the street”. I can definitely understand why shitty cowards would feel threatened.

        lied about in court

        I’m gonna go with “nah”. He was found guilty, so he’s a guilty murderer.
        I’m shocked a bootlicker like yourself would have such doubts in the system. Or is it because they actually found a cop guilty and you just can’t accept such a travesty? Just think of all the black kids he could have threatened!

        Go to hell.

        I didn’t mention Floyd. The fact you have to put words in my mouth and then argue against them proves that you know you’re wrong.

      Sure, how were they sleeping while someone was next to them shooting? Why do you have a problem with painting the whole picture?

          Ms Taylor’s killing should make anyone distrust the justice system. I don’t care if she shot first. Middle of the night home invasions are a situation in which one cannot assume reasonable avenues for retreat and if you don’t know it’s the cops why the fuck shouldn’t you be shooting.

          And it’s not like the cops actually help when you’ve actually had a home invasion…
