George wasn't killed by a cop. He died while being arrested. Big difference.

He was a criminal, doing criminal things. Cop shouldn’t have been in his neck so long, but I’m tired of hearing what a great person George was.
I don't even blame the cops very much considering they have to deal with violent shitheads all day and get shot at.
I worked driving an ambulance in orlando/daytona. With all the shit going on and dealing with the same shit heads all day, its not too hard to lose track of time and what you are doing. I bet the minutes knelt there didn't even feel like it.
I'm tired of being told I can't have that as an opinion based off of my own life.
I'm tired of being told I have to give a fuck about someone using drugs and breaking the law.
Innocent until proven guilty, and it seems like a lot of people that share my views forgot about that part during all of this.
I have no opinion of the cop, I don't need to have one, to know that there is no racial component to this.
And that these riots piggy backing onto a nationwide shut down is going to destroy So many good things SO many good people worked for.
My blood pressure is through the roof... but I just watched a compilation of a lot of looters getting their shit kicked in and I can smile a little more today know that we have this site with all these pedes.
Fuck Democrats and RINOs, Celebrities and ANTIFA.

It's not about Floyd. The problem is the video completely deceives about Chauvin's demeanor... Chauvin does not speak like a southern redneck, that is a black bystander yelling at floyd to get up while Chauvin's face is hidden behind the car.
Listen to the video again! I think it's Chauvin's voice that says "Relax!" "What do you want?" Can't hear anything else from Chauvin.
While Chauvin is leaning behind the car and we can't see his face, a different thickly accented voice (perhaps a bystander near the camera?) Is heard scolding Floyd: "bruv, get up and get in the car right man" repeatedly and "I told you you can't win" "I saw day whole tang" and Floyd replies to this voice yelling at him from the sidelines. "I can't" Chauvin ignores this exchange.
The other cop tells a bystander they tried getting Floyd in the car "for 10 minutes" That happened before the recording even started, probably causing the heart attack regardless of the knee hold.
reportedly At one point, Lane asks, “Should we roll him on his side?” and Chauvin says no. Lane says he is worried about “excited delirium” Chauvin responds, “that’s why we have him on his stomach."
On first viewing it seems Floyd is being choked to death with cruel impossible orders given to him, but the coroner says the knee didn't kill him, and the bystander who'd apparently been yelling at Floyd to stop struggling because he couldn't win is mistaken as Chauvin's voice because we can't see the accented speaker or chauvin's face at the time.
So Chauvin didn't apply lethal force, and was just holding a tweaking thrashing Floyd still waiting for the ambulance already called before the video began! I'm only speculating it's dept policy for them not to try to render aid by pretending to be medics or treat prisoners as patients while waiting for the ambulance... And Chauvin probably didn't want to make it look like he was admitting his knee did anything by removing it completely after Floyd flatlined.
This is a really really unfortunate situation, and maybe a really really unfortunately deceptive video.
This is "excited delirium" for those interested:

This is absolutely a relevant concern. And even without factoring in drugs or delirium, just because a person is lying quietly one moment doesn't mean they couldn't instantly freak out once restraint pressure is released.
You see this happen all the time with restrained animals. If you hold them down completely, they stop struggling, but the moment they feel a opening, all hell breaks loose.
