No excuse for leaving your knee on a man's neck for seven mins while he's begging for the guy to get off so he can breathe, all while being handcuffed. I usually side with the cops in most these cases, but this looks like murder to me

My take is that some medical problem killed Floyd. The knee to the neck looks bad and totally unnecessary. The cop who did it should definitely be censured. I don't think he committed murder or manslaughter. I suspect he thought Floyd was faking being incapacitated.

The other 3 police officers don't appear to have done anything wrong. Police are not paramedics.

The disturbing part is that the media edited out the video of Floyd having medical issues to make the police look bad, to cause strife and hatred.

Where are you seeing medical issues? I can see him tripping stepping down off the curb is all.

He sure looked out of balance as he was walking. Noticed it initially coming out of his vehicle and again more pronounced as he was led across the street and near the police car. Even with handcuffs his gait and footwork were very strange. Could just be a coincidence and may not have anything to due with a medical condition, though!

Cop left his knee on the guys neck for at least four minutes AFTER the guy was toast.Dont look good.I think he was dead when they finaly rolled him over.Looked limp and lifeless.

If you watch the video I posted:



Watch how is feet weave strangely as he walks. Watch how he holds his head at odd angles. Watch how the police have to support him. Watch how he falls.

In the other videos listen to what he says about how his friend died.

I suspect he was having a bad drug reaction. Insulin issues, heart issues and blood pressure can cause similar symptoms.

I don't know crap.

What I've seen and heard looks bad.

The smug sad-sack mayor don't know why the cop ain't in jail

The cowardly governor is too scared to say anything.

This ain't going to be pretty.

The dude acts like he's being killed just by having his hands behind his back.

I can’t believe you can see anything but murder. Even if the man shot and killed someone, a cop is going to pin you to the ground while in handcuffs till you die? NO! I would have went to jail, I would’ve had to knock the officer off the guy. He was fighting alright, for his life! I watched it all, I don’t care if he’s high, or sick. He’s handcuffed, four cops around. So let’s knee his neck until he’s dead for six minutes. The devaluation of people, has led us all to this. Oh he’s a crook, had it coming...really?

It appears the 4 white officer who were fired are in actuality 1 Asian officer, 1 light skinned African American officer and 2 white officers.

It just creates more hate for the media to describe them as white.

Remember George Zimmerman who was described as white by the media and then a white Hispanic even though he was an African American Hispanic.

I saw that.Did the knee kill him,I don't know.BUT,,the cop kept his knee on the guy for a full four minutes AFTER he was UNCONSCIOUS. That is plain to see.

He recieved the Death Sentence for suspicion of forgery. It will be interesting to watch and see what happens with the FBI investigation.

Yes I understand that the knee on the neck is a technique officers are trained to do in certain circumstances,but its almost like the officer was quietly trying to hurt the man with his left hand on his thigh applying unneeded pressure to his neck.

I also notice his physical posture as maybe being in pain due to the cuffs. Could be from a bad back,legs, arms or whatever. Will find out if he was on something with the toxology report.

Either way, just a sad story all around.

The other two people followed the cops orders(reluctantly)and they were not killed.
Weird eh?

Those 3 guys from Georgia are out of the spotlight now.
The outrage seems to have evaporated there.

now they torched an auto zone--that'll bring justice.

I try to be objective in these cases because when the headline reads white cop kills black man I automatically assume and believe the media is just trying to divide us. That being said, after reviewing the full video I really don't see how murder charges should not be filed.

LA felt left out and are riotin now for him,must of been a wonderful man

You have a Great sense of Humor!!!

can't figure out if i'm mad,embarrassed or what at the whole thing.

I feel the exact same way
