HOW exactly would you have handled the situation if you were a police officer? I think I might have tazed him. What would you have done? Do you agree he seemed under the influence of something in the tape standing inside of the store? Did you see the tape of George Floyd resisting the four officers and at times seem to be more powerful than all of them put together??
Would you simply have let him drive away?
If you knew that someone was a person who had been arrested and incarcerated, would that change your opinion of her/him? A little, not at all?
P.S. Yankansky. I just read every one of your prior posts and there is not a thing that I disagree with you on. I would have really thought that you would agree with me on this one. Perhaps you did not understand my intent. I also sense you are a female person? Some say gender doesn't matter, but it really defines my responses in many ways. I am smaller and weaker than most men I know.
I am not defending Derek Chauvin. He seems to have had a lot of criticism before this happened and it appeared warranted.
My point was that George Floyd was resisting arrest physically and was large and looked very powerful physically.
My point really is that if George Floyd had done what he was told to do by the arresting police officer(s) he would be alive today. It never once occurred to me that race had anything to do with his death.
Here is a video of a large white man resisting arrest and who stole the police officer's car;
