This topic, this thread: George Floyd's funeral

I often wonder how the pregnant woman who was robbed with the gun pointing at her stomach feels. I wonder what she would say? I wonder if she is still frightened? I would like to know more about what happened that day, but the archives online have been "cleaned". I could not even find George Floyd's mugshots.
It doesn't have anything to do with George Floyd's funeral as stated above, but he was honored as a hero and the truth is that no one would want their son or daughter to have four felonies and to serve time for each of them.
Certainly, ethical people can see that causing death during an arrest is a horrible thing, but I would like to see the tapes of exactly why the ruckus in the car and the other ones too blocked out. I wonder if we will ever know if he possibly did have intoxicants that were lethal. The knee on neck is used with justification, I think, on people who will not allow themselves to be restrained. Sometimes they continue fighting even with handcuffs. They struggle to their knees and kick and writhe. Especially those high on some drugs. I can't see that this incident was racist. The knee on neck is used with all those resisting arrest violently. It is used a lot and hasn't stopped the passage of air to the lungs or caused a person to stop breathing in thousands and thousands of usage. I am just trying to be fair but I know I will be viewed as racist. I hope I am not.
