Americans are rightly horrified by the death of George Floyd ...
Well, I was until I found out the guy had a whole pharmacy in him, and that that, not the knee to the neck, was what killed him.
Make no mistake, IMHO police should not be allowed to use choke holds, the line between choking until passed out and choking until dead is just too thin. It's also terrible optics. There's no way most people are ever going to believe Floyd did not die from being choked, no matter what forensics say.
I would like to see police have more freedom to use "less lethal" force on those resisting arrest, specifically tasers and tranquilizer guns. Better results, better optics.
George Floyd was a worthless piece of shit, and the world is a better, safer place without him. His self-inflicted death almost certainly saved lives.
