The sad thing is Floyd did die. Hopefully the police community will learn from this tragedy. The only solution to this incident is to make tactics like this illegal, therefore, if a cop uses excessive force they lose their job or worse. Then the other cops would have no choice but to stop another cop from using excessive force.

Excellent post.
