    Additionally why was a person forcing their knee on someone's neck when they were motionless and probably dead for 4 entire minutes?

    If we want to tackle some difficult topics, then I'd recommend we start with the hard lessons of using drugs, which lead to robberies (in Floyd's case, an aggravated robbery conviction and prison time in Texas) and theft (accused on writing a forged check, which resulted in the police coming in MN). You could argue that if Floyd had never gotten involved with drugs, which led to a life of crime, this situation would not have happened.

    So how do we stop people from doing drugs?

    Listing symptoms isn't solving problems.

    Floyd was a super human. Even after he was not breathing and a fellow officer could not locate a pulse, the officer still felt he was enough of a threat that he had to continue kneeling on his neck for an additional 2+ minutes.

    You also didn't answer my question on why a officer had his knee pinned down on a man while motionless for 4 straight minutes.

    I think the officer was expecting a new Walking Dead type virus and feared that Floyd might reanimate.

    Do you think that might be the reason Texxx? I can't think of another one besides being a psychopath.

    The autopsy does not invalidate what we all could see in the video.

    In the sense there was excessive force at the end by the policeman, then I agree with you. Did it kill him? That wasn't proven by the autopsy.

    Even security knows that a knee on the neck like that is dangerous AF and they would pull the cop off of the guy within a minute. It's murder, plain and simple.

    So, I guess he just dropped dead walking around? LOL. Yeah, having a knee on his neck for 8 mins didn't do anything...lol.

    Would he still be alive if not for the knee? Yes.

    @bigtexxx Since we have the video, let's reenact it but with some differences. You play George Floyd, but not on any drugs and with no health problems. We'll get a person of similar build and weight with complaints of brutality and abuse put knee on your neck for 8 minutes.

    Then, if you die, we can look at the autopsy and compare.

    Nice we are going to use the coronavirus defense that he just happened to die due to unfit and health issues not that the dude was choked and ems had him with no pulse.
    I mean he had coronavirus but he was about to die!!

    It wasnt really a heart attack or stroke it was just that his heart stopped beating

    Smh

    The abuse in the video speaks for itself. The guy May have had underlying conditions that contributed to his death. Certainly adding a knee to the throat compounds the contributing conditions. Would another man have lived through that? Maybe. But it’s not the point. The guy was unarmed for Christ’s sake.
    We cant have good faith discussions if we can’t find common ground to agree on. This one is a no brainer.

    So, in li'l t's world the police should only be held accountable when they kill non-drug users, with no pre-existing health conditions, and no prior criminal history. Got it.

    He is not tone deaf he actively wants to just stir **** up.

    I am not for doxxing but if anyone deserves it it's this guy he needs to have the light shined on him and what he is doing for his selfish enjoyment.
