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

We see it alot, it's called excited delirium. When someone has been high as fuck on drugs for an extended period and fights with police there is a huge risk of them dying from the stress on their system. That's why you see the "guy dies after being tased" in news articles.
The cops involved in dbag Floyd's death are idiots and that dumbass cop should not have put his knee on the guys neck for that long. Plus, one of his partners should have stepped in to take his place when they saw that. Had that cop not placed his knee on his neck, dbag probably still would have died. But you also have to watch the guy and once he becomes non responsive it's your duty to start cpr or some life saving measures.
They did none of those things and fucked themselves. But imo, floyd would have died regardless of how bad their actions were. Maybe if they were paying attention they could have started cpr too.
This!
I am starting to believe this is just another Trayvon St. Skittles versus Zimmerman ploy. Everyone picks sides like teen girls watching Twilight. I'm team vampire! I'm team werewolf!
But of course the truth is... on a dark and stormy night, two assholes ran into each other and the one with the longer rap sheet died. Neither man deserved our ardent support.
Floyd was a violent criminal who once attacked a pregnant black woman in her home. He had a history of drug use. He had drugs in his system when he died.
The cop has been named in complaints before. And at the least, he failed to recognize the optics of the situation he was in, and did nothing to CYA. Any small act of professional concern for his perp would have made this a non issue. (He may not have even done anything illegal, but like Zimmerman, wasn't using his head either.)
Both sucked. Neither deserve our ardent support. That's just my take on it.
