He was trying to GTFO the crossfire too, clever boy.

Yeah. George's friend knew he had a death wish. No one who wants to live would take that combination of drugs. No one who wanted to live would have reacted the way George did. Clearly a suicide by cop... just more unconventional than most.

Let’s not be ridiculous. Nothing about that incident says, “suicide by cop.” If anything, it’s the complete opposite. It’s about a general culture of lawlessness - taking drugs, trying to pass counterfeit bills, etc. - and thinking there will never be consequences.

Suicide by cop would indicate that Floyd knew he would be arrested or at least involved in some police incident that he could use to kill himself. This sounded more like a guy who had absolutely no expectation that his lawless behavior would even be challenged. It was just another day for him, but this time somebody from the store he tried to rip off held him accountable.
