I would not have liked to be killed (legally speaking-murdered) by Police officers for passing a $20 bill, which I might not even have known was counterfeit. And if they could not have handled him WITHOUT murdering him, then they needed to call for backup. Also, the Police have psychologists for situations like that - it is obvious that Floyd had acquired an unrealistic FEAR of Police somewhere in his lifetime. Many blacks have that same fear. Many whites have led sheltered lives of privilege that have insulated them from real-world Police encounters. So, my conclusion is that depending on people's background, they have different slants and perceptions on the Floyd incident. I think that the jury was correct!

I think if you would serve as a police officer for one week in the inner cities we would have even more “murders” like this. It’s easy to sit outside the equation and judge.
