George Floyd was a career criminal who resisted arrest, was high on fentanyl and meth, had a heart attack while being subdued. I also reject the race hate narrative. The race is irrelevant. Could have happened to any race and it has. This is leftists stoking race hatred for an agenda and everyone is just going along with it. These race baiters don’t care about context. They want power.

https://thedonald.win/p/FgCUKDLd/fentanyl-i-am-shocked-/c/ Cardiopulmonary arrest due to police restraining him. Had heart disease. Fentanyl and meth in system. Bad combo of circumstances. The cops should have helped him, but they didn’t force him to take dangerous drugs and resist arrest. He made those choices.

Imagine being outraged about this, but feeling absolutely nothing for someone overseas who put their life on the line for the vague belief they're defending you and your families back home... they get captured by ISIS or some other foe and are tortured and dismembered on video... Nothing.. no feelings, it's someone elses' kid, or father..

But one guy, who happens to be black, makes a ton of bad decisions that benefit nobody but him in the moment.. and lead to 'circumstances' where he died at the hands of another person. Sure - death sucks, but I get the feeling this guy 'passed out' and died due to lack of oxygen to the brain. While being arrested might suck, it's hardly 'torture' in the classical sense and someone high as fuck was likely full of adrenaline and enjoyed resisting otherwise they wouldn't have done it. Some criminal thugs get high on the notion of standing up for themselves and resisting authority.. its nothing new and will never go away Hashtag masculinity.

I don't like death, but at a certain point compassion for an enemy combatant runs out. They knowingly/wittingly participated in their own demise.

Humans are relatively fragile.

There's a guy sitting in prison right now because he threw a billiards ball across a bar room in anger, it struck someone in the head and killed them. Boom - life taken.

17 year old athletes drop dead of heart attacks while running on the path to see their girlfriend, or die in their sleep of 'Sudden Infant Death Syndrome'

25 year olds have heart failure in their sleep due to cocaine abuse and pain medication..

All death is regrettable, if avoidable, but we shouldn't kid ourselves that an isolated incident involving two men someplace on the earth should engulf the entire political discourse and set cities ablaze with riots. Criminals and Cops have been diametrically opposed for as long as either have existed. To think they come to blows occasionally and one or the other dies shouldn't be surprising or controversial. It's really not that hard not to come into interaction with cops that often, or to be respectful to one if you do.

"There are much better hills to die on", this guy chose to resist arrest. Not smart, not respectful and it was his own actions that led to an interaction with the law.

Remember that cop who shot a woman who had called 9/11 for help? .. No riots.
