He was in a fentanyl induced panic. The cop could have had his knee on Floyd's toe and he would have died, but your own drug induced health issues and fear of going back to jail are not legitimate reasons to be released. Floyd would have suffocated lying on the the back seat of the police car as you can see from the body cam video.

It’s simple for most with a common sense But not for most colored folks.
Hell I don’t even disrespect the $11 security guard at work knowing he has the potential to put my job at risk.. just follow the damn rules and should you cross paths be professional and most times everything’s going to be OK.Comment -
Fair enough. I feel like situations like this can be avoided if someone doesn't act the fool and simply follows orders. If you resist arrest and are not cooperative with police officers, you might get hurt or worse. They ended up using excessive force but Floyd escalated things and who knows what can happen in the heat of the moment. Don't put yourself in these situations..bottom line.Comment -
His is probably busy blocking a freeway protesting at the moment.

Honestly, Coronavirus isn't the problem in the US. Fentanyl is the real epidemic. If you mess with that shit, your life expectancy is less than a year.Comment -
Just curious, if Floyd was white or even Asian how upset would you be over this incident? Probably wouldn't lose much sleep over it would you? But you're just another easily DUPED pawn of the media/democrat party.
Anything bad that happens to a black person in this country is racially motivated right? White people are racist scum who could care less about the life of a black person. Ironically it's people who think like you that are by far the most prevalent racists in America right now.
I truly pity how gullible you are and how warped your view of this country is... try to think for yourself a little bit more.Comment -
No doubt they acted carelessly. The question is did they act racistly?
If you ask me, everyone is overlooking the bigger travesty in all this: Men's Lives Matter.
Men are 50% of the population but 96% of those killed by police. A man is 20 times more likely than a woman to be killed by a cop. The way I see it, police should kill less men or better start killing more women because it isn't fair and just. Numbers don't lie.Comment -
The guy was saying that he couldn't breathe from the time the cops got there. The knee on the neck certainly wasn't a good look, but is that what actually killed him? It's obvious there was something else wrong with him.
I still think the cops should be held accountable for something like not treating a possible OD victim the way that they should have, but charging them with 2nd degree murder(many wanted 1st degree) seems like overcharging. Especially now that this video has been leaked out.Comment -
I get what you're saying, but what did the guy do in his life that warranted being buried in a gold casket and paraded all over the country?
Do you think that maybe some of these people that are being treated differently because of their skin color has something to do with an overly aggressive violent behavior that is often seen associated with that skin color? For as bad as some of these police brutality videos are, there are many new videos popping up daily showing very violent and uncivilized behavior which is undoubtedly the reason behind that way the cops are treating minorities.Comment -
Floyd went out like a straight bitch, crying for his mom, pissing himself.
The world is definitely a better place without him.
Cheers to those cops. They will get off and live long happy lives.
I'm happy for them.Comment -
It was not handled perfectly, no doubt, but this is an isolated case out of several millions of arrests every year that was seized upon and hyped by the media to generate a false narrative. Now not only is the narrative created by it false, but the narrative of that arrest looks to be false also.
Did you watch the body cam footage? While handcuffed he was still thrashing around and acting nuts. Wouldn't stay in the police car, falling to the ground, etc.. When I first saw the original video of the knee on the neck I was 99.9 % cops fault. After seeing the body cam footage I'm at about 80% Floyd's fault.
It's really scary the power the media has to twist and turn a narrative these days. They have been pushing propaganda and subtly brainwashing for years but now it's just blatant.Comment -
Antifa? I literally have never done anything close to rioting. I’m for equality though, black white blue jewish. And when there is an oppressed i will stand up for them no matter the consequences. You wanna use the loud mouth behind a computer to try and spit stupidity go for it, but you should take a minute and try to understand where people are coming from before judging and thinking you know their life story. I could bore you with the details but you’ll probably just find a way to twist it into some poor excuse as to why killing and harassing people who look different is okay.Comment -
I don’t think HE per say did anything to “deserve” that. But we as a race (the human race, I’m considered white but of Spanish descent - which shouldn’t mean anything) we out to give more respect for people. In my opinion i think due to how he was treated and how he begged for his life, people tried to show him as a king and a man with great valor. Although he made great mistakes in his life, I don’t think he deserved what he got and he should be remembered as a man with great distinction for having endured what he endured. Our past doesn’t determine who we are, why should that be his legacy? I’ve made mistakes.. we all have.Comment -
The Minnesota Rioters are suiting up and will take the field shortly.
Ex-officer charged in George Floyd's death freed on $1M bond
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd posted bail Wednesday and was released from prison, leading Minnesota’s governor to activate the National Guard to help keep the peace in the event of protests.
According to court documents, Derek Chauvin posted a $1 million bond and was released from the state’s facility in Oak Park Heights, where he had been detained. Hennepin County jail records show he was released shortly before 11:30 a.m.
