There is no justifiable reason for a police officer to murder an unarmed person. None. They managed to bring in almost every white mass shooter no problem, so they can bring in some random guy who wrote a forged check or they are incompetent at best, cruel and murderous at worst.

And there was no justifiable reason for the entire country to blow up into riots over this one piece of shit junkie but it did.

I love how you people who claim to be so morally pure only have your morals apply to pieces of shit. Destroying the businesses of people who likely aren't even racist is somehow totally okay though, and this scumbag repeatedly committing crimes is somehow okay as well. I don't feel the tiniest bit bad for Floyd, he was a complete loser.

It has nothing to do with him being a junkie. What happened was WRONG. He was a POS? Whatever! All lives matter. When pigs act like pure thugs, THERE IS A PROBLEM.

They could have tazed the guy to weaken him, then forcibly put him in the back of the vehicle. But no, they had to kill him.

Tazing someone who is experiencing excited delerium could have killed him, too. Tazing him wasn't an option that would have saved his life.

Yeah of course it could have killed him. I am not about "George Floyd is a saint and a martyr". I am about " 'to serve and protect' means NOT going out of your way to kill people."
