If Floyd had just agreed to get up and get in the ****ing car this
would have been over before it started. Why do you always support
thugs fighting with the cops?
The ME report is pretty shaky about the "Murder" when the cause of
death was a heart attack, there was no trauma and no signs of
asphyxiation. There was also a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system
and indications of crystal meth.
The ME has stated that in any other circumstance, he would have ruled
this an OD, simply based on the evidence.
Political pressure had him calling it a homicide. That is what the
defense will be and it may win the day.
In a way I hope they hang the guy but only because we all pay when
these insurrectionists burn cities down ($13 BILLION just in insurance
claims, last summer alone) and I don't like paying that bill in
everything I buy, even if an innocent cop goes to prison.
OTOH the justice part of me expects he ends up innocent or with a hung
jury on all but the involuntary homicide charge.
Let's try this one more time. The dead man was on the ground,
handcuffed, and with four cops controlling him, and the killer cop was
on his neck for nine minutes before he died. That is what mattered. And
when the paramedic offered to take care of the guy before he died, the
cop refused to let him do so. It was murder by cop.
Floyd could have ended that at any time by saying
"I give up, I will get in the car".
