Actually, kneeling on a subject arrested to get them under control is not uncommon. And from what has been released to the public (which I do not think they should until after trial) the autopsy did not indicate that the kneeling caused the loss of life.
I doubt the COPs that normally do a hard job of policing the city will get a fair trial since all this media has put the public opinion against them, just based on what the media has provided us.
The fact is that Floyd was a scumbag criminal, convicted of many crimes. Did he deserve to die? I am not GOD so I do not know. Do I care about him? NO, I do not. I do worry that the four COPs will not get a fair trial. I do not know if this was racially motivated or just a bad mistake in handling a suspect. I do not feel it was racially motivated, in my opinion based on the fact that two of the COPs were minority. Just saying. He resisted arrest and he died. I bet if he did not resist, he would still be alive. Just another of my opinions. His record showed that he was NOT a good person. It makes one wonder why he was given a presidential style funeral when a decent law abiding black man that served his community all his life, died at the hands of a rioter/looter shortly after was hardly given any recognition. Perhaps because he was a retired COP?
