He died of an overdose. The officers should be commended.

You godda lay off the extra accounts. It’s creepy.

Yeah, an overdose of having a sadistic cunt lean on his neck until he died, and then refuse to move even when one of his fellow officers and a paramedic told him Floyd had no pulse.

Derek Chauvin was lucky to get off on "unintentional" second-degree murder. He should be in jail for premeditated first-degree murder, the cowardly cunt.

There’s a lefty loser on here that takes everything too seriously, writes long winded statements, and is completely unhinged.

He changes account names and upvotes his posts, because he’s a loser.

Chuckle.

Had the black dude manned up and went to jail he would be alive, he did it to himself by resisting. Just one less crack head on the streets and sadly one less good cop.

Multiple videos and eyewitnesses all agree that Floyd was not resisting arrest.

Don't be a simp for the pigs. Black, white or purple, they'll do to you what they did to Tony Timpa, Anthony Cruz, Hannah Fizer, or Daniel Shaver and not lose a moment's sleep over it.

Sorry that you are blind but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CjE7J4ig_4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fpivi5ljhI and yet another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiSm0Nuqomg of Floyd resisting arrest. Again sorry for your being either blind or you have shit for brains.

Thanks for that. I knew American cops were incompetent, but those videos really make it obvious just how incompetent they are.

That's three videos of somebody not resisting arrest while thuggish bully-boys lie and deliberately escalate the situation. It's obvious that the cops there don't give a shit about the most effective way to keep the peace, or even about making the arrest. They're only interested in one thing: they have to win.

It's not about the law, or justice, or keeping the public safe, or public order. It is 100% "you can't win" (their quote) and they will commit murder to make sure they're the winner.

Even down to little things like ordering Floyd to "sit all the way down" when he was already sitting down. How fucking petty do you have to be to do that?

At one point, the cop yanks his handcuffed arms to his side, Floyd calls out in pain, and the cop goes "You can reach your side, that's making me nervous". What a fucker.

Stop simping for the cops. Don't think for one second they'll treat you better because you're white. They'll treat you like Timpa, or Shaver, or worse, because they know that the media doesn't give a shit about the white people they kill. And they kill plenty. Most victims of police brutality are white.

Floyd was on an express train to jail or the grave, let's face it, but that doesn't excuse Chauvin's actions either. I'm just baffled at the sainthood of George Floyd. Is he worthy of martyrdom? Not even a little.

The officers were not following protocol and unnecessarily used excessive violence. While it was clear Floyd died of a drug overdose, he did so while in their custody, when they were responsible for his safety. They were responsible for getting him medical care if he was struggling from drug overdose. Their illegal and excessive violence surely contributed to his death.

It is a shame that it takes death and exaggerated politics to hold police accountable for their violent actions. It is a shame that the same people who hailed Floyd a hero, shit on the guy who was clearly executed point blank, while beading out in a puddle of his own blood from 4 other gun shots taken while running his fat ass away for his life in flip flops in Ferguson MO. It was only convenient for dirty politicians to side with Floyd for election manipulation and to sucker campaign donations from concerned people....before those same politicians blocked the Senate police reform bill, the only police reform bill, because it was submitted by a Black Republican Senator.

Floyd didn't die of a drug overdose. He may have had some residue of drugs in his system from taking drugs earlier in the day, but he was not high at the time and video of the arrest and murder conclusively shows he did not resist arrest. He died of positional asphyxiation due to being put in a stress position with two men holding him down and a third leaning with his full body weight on his neck.

His death may have been exacerbated by his drug habit, but what killed him was having his lungs compressed by a brutal cop who wanted him dead, not the drugs. When Officer Lane reported to Chauvin that Floyd had no pulse, he kept the choke hold going and refused to give him medical attention. After Floyd stopped breathing, Officer Lane twice asked Chauvin if they should move him into the recovery position, and Chauvin said no both times. Even after paramedics arrived and told Chauvin that Floyd had no pulse, he still held the choke hold on him for another minute, just to be sure.

After Chauvin went into cardiac arrest, and the paramedics requested emergency assistance from the fire department, none of the police cooperated with the fire crew, delaying them from reaching the ambulance and Floyd for a critical five minutes.

Chauvin murdered Floyd in cold blood, while three other officers stood by and let him do it. The cunt is lucky to have got away with mere "unintentional" second-degree murder.

In any case, under the well-established "eggshell skull rule", even if Floyd's heart and lungs were affected by drugs, that does not excuse Chauvin and the other cops for excessive force leading to unlawful killing.

Why does the left always make heroes of criminals like George Floyd?

[–]WoodyWoodPecker 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Because of Black Privilege.

Why does the left always make heroes of criminals like George Floyd?

Same reason the right always makes heroes of sadistic murdering cunts like Derek Chauvin. You know cops aren't supposed to murder criminals either?

Floyd was not putting anyone in danger. He did his time for burglary, and the slate was wiped clean, which made him a regular citizen. The video conclusively shows he wasn't resisting arrest. Nobody knows whether the $20 bill he tried to use was legitimate or counterfeit, but it seems to have disappeared since the arrest, which probably means it was real and the arrest was all for nothing. But even if it was counterfeit, there is no death penalty for possession of counterfeit money. There's enough dodgy greenbacks in circulation in the US that chances are everyone who has ever handled cash has sometimes paid for things with counterfeit notes, whether they know it or not.

Cops will kill any time they feel like it, and being white is no defence. Before Floyd, they murdered a white man, Tony Timpa, in much the same way: handcuffed a man who was no threat to anyone, wasn't resisting arrest, leaned on his neck, laughed at him and mocked him, until he was dead.

Unlike Chauvin, those cops got away with it. Most cops do, because the left doesn't care about poor white men and the right doesn't care about police brutality.

Floyd was drugged up to hell and would have died anyway. To hold him up as a martyr is to reject civil society which we saw with the leftard antifa and domestic terrorist BLM rioting and burning down neighborhoods while assaulting law abiding citizens. Just look at the left coast basketcase urban centers such as SF, Oakland, Portland and Seattle.

Floyd was drugged up to hell and would have died anyway.

Yes, but not that day. Everyone dies eventually. What's your point? He was fine until cops put him in a stress position and choked him to death. He would have still been fine if Chauvin had allowed Officer Lane to move him into the recovery position, or if they had started resuscitation, or if they had called for an ambulance sooner, or if Chauvin had moved out of the paramedic's way and let him start treatment sooner, or if they hadn't played dumb when the fire truck came to give assistance, delaying them from reaching Floyd until he was dead.

Even after Floyd stopped breathing they had at least half a dozen opportunities to step back from murder and do their job, and didn't.

Or at least, even if Floyd had still died despite everything, the cops could have said "We tried our best" and there would have been sufficient doubt to get Chauvin off on a charge of homicide. But they didn't -- Chauvin got stupid and thought that the city would back him up no matter how blatant the killing. He fucked around while surrounded by eyewitnesses with cell phones, and found out that even in America there is still a limit to how bad cops can be before they suffer the consequences.

The video and eyewitnesses were clear. The case was so clear that Chauvin did a plea deal and pleaded guilty of "unintentional second-degree murder". If there was even a microscopic doubt, he would have made a not guilty plea. But with that much evidence against him, he didn't.

I'll give Chauvin credit: he might be a racist murderer cunt with a history of thuggery, but when he got caught he owned up to it like a man, and didn't waste the court's time with a case that he was going to lose.

the leftard antifa and domestic terrorist BLM rioting and burning down neighborhoods

You're mistaking me for somebody else, if you think I support BLM burning down neighbourhoods.

American cops assault and murder people with impunity, black and white. Occasionally, very occasionally, they suffer the consequences. Chauvin was a bad cop, Thao was a bad cop, and Lane and Kueng insufficiently good cops to stand up to Chauvin. They were accessories to murder, even if they didn't intend to murder Floyd themselves.

The fact is, in the US, blacks are the ones doing the most robbing and assaulting. Floyd made bad choices and ended up encountering a bad cop. The end. But it wasn't. His death was used as justification for social justice, antifa and BLM to terrorize America and it normalized criminal behavior due to so-called institutionalized racism (fictional). Martyrdom for a POS rapist druggie like Floyd empowers other criminals.

No. There is one criminal gang that commits more assaults, and steals more money, than anyone else: the thugs in blue.

Asset forfeiture -- legalised theft of cash and assets -- has taken more money than burglaries.

They brutally assault frail grandmothers, they murder, steal, lie to judges, and almost always get away with it. Chauvin is a rare exception.

Whatever man. When you or your loved ones are hurt or killed, you'll be screaming for the boys in blue just like everyone else you shit on. Then you'll see how much your rainbow coalitions and bros are worth. Tell those Asian grandmas that get assaulted by lil' teen thugs or the delivery people killed by the thugs. We need more police and not less. And if some thug heads get busted, so be it.

I really don't agree with this. Derek Chauvin could have and should have eased up on Floyd, but going after all the other cops is just stupid and cruel. I also feel like manslaughter would have been a better sentence for Chauvin.

They're basically going to throw every single officer in jail simply for being there and following protocol.

I don't agree with this. If police are going to be jailed because their superior was too rough on someone and they were at the scene, we're going to have a mass exodus of cops, and a lot of officers just refusing to show up and do anything if called to a scene.
