Thankfully the 4 cops have been fired: https://www-fox9-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.fox9.com/news/4-minneapolis-police-officers-fired-following-death-of-george-floyd-in-police-custody.amp?usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D&amp_js_v=0.1#aoh=15905220756898&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox9.com%2Fnews%2F4-minneapolis-police-officers-fired-following-death-of-george-floyd-in-police-custody.amp%23aoh%3D15905220756898%26referrer%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%26amp_tf%3DFrom%2520%25251%2524s

However I think "getting fired" is hardly punishment for murdering a man. The guy who had his knee on the suspect (suspected of forgery btw) should go to jail for a decade or two, at least. This is very much still ongoing and not resolved.

That cellphone clip was fucked up, for 7 minutes, kneeling on his carotid arteries. That cop had to know he was killing the guy, no one is that stupid.

By the end of this year, we're not gonna have enough fingers to point at each other with.

State police. And city police. Either way, they both work for a corporation. They are "Legal" henchmen and don't even know it.

Pretty crazy how people don't seem to mind the fact that your house being robbed or broken into can require up to an hour for a police response, maybe more. Why isn't it the same with banks?

They murdered that guy. Overtly. They had to know what was happening.

If someone wanted to manufacture a protest, then this would be a guaranteed way to make it happen.

It will be interesting to see if something unusual occurs at/after the protest(s).

The avery thing was manufactured and you could tell right away. The video showed avery attacking the guy and getting shot in the process, yet the news was reporting that this was just some random guy jogging and he was hunted and shot for no reason. And all the comments were people seemingly ignoring all the facts to be outraged.

This on the other hand is far more cut and dry. You can argue that the part where he was resisting arrest was cut out, but there doesn't seem to be a huge misrepresentation of what is going on.

It's sad that cops are so rarely held accountable that we think them just getting fired for murder is a positive outcome.

I tell you what's more sad. Well I'll preface it by saying this, we don't see what happened before the camera started rolling, so as usual this might not be the whole story.

However, if this is the whole story, what's more sad than this man losing his life are that there are enough people sheeple there to stop that, and I'm not even referring to a last resort of the use of violent force to stop it. They just watched, like it's a Netflix and chill video i suppose.

That video starts with the cop on his neck already. The full video would be everything that happened before that.

Chico 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 3 years ago

Why would anyone take a video of a traffic stop or whatever preceded this? Most likely someone saw the knee on neck and busted out their cell phone.

Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 3 years ago

It's called a body camera and both cops were wearing them.

The person recording could also have started as the officers were struggling with the guy. It obviously escalated and they didn't just teleport him from the drivers seat.

And even if the full video doesn't exist, you dont get to claim that this short clip is the full video. It is clearly missing a huge part of the encounter.

fred_red_beans 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 3 years ago

Full video of what's available vs the clips shown on the news. I think most people can understand that.

If you have additional footage, please share!

His name was "George Floyd".
