You are not in touch with reality here and are just parroting the "muh 8 minutes!" call to emotional response.

If you have ever seen cops operate, this was completely normal. Are you forgetting they already had him under control once, sitting in a car?

As he started feeling the effects of the massive amount of drugs he ate, he started to panic and go wild again, fight or flight response and they had to get him out of the car and try to control him.

Floyd is a large man, and with his adrenaline undoubtedly pumping, he was difficult to control, he was shouting "I can't breathe" many times before they ever took him to the ground.

Once they got him down there, they were not going to let him up again until the medical team arrived, that is not how cops operate.

The whole "8 minutes" thing is just routine action, they were waiting for the process to play out and keeping a guy who was flipping out safely on the ground where he could not hurt them or himself or any by standers, cops main focus is control and that is what happened here.

The ONLY reason this came to what it has become is the out of context video that shows him saying "I can't breathe" when they were holding him down, eliciting pity and sympathy for him.

Cops do this kind of things every day, and I am no great cop supporter, they do all kinds of fucked up shit every day too, but this case was not out of the norm and was certainly not murder.

Floyd only had himself to blame for that.
