I posted first comment 3 hours ago, and you created your account 3 hours ago. That's interesting.

Did you create a new account to discourage people from looking at this??

No way. Literally brand new, just found an odd sub on Reddit, followed the rabbit hole and ended up here, even got a classic username. Reddit has been a bit... Stuffy lately, I wanted somewhere more wild like 2012 Reddit. Boom, success (well, I think so after a few hours)

Your suspicion is valid though. I would be.

You gonna answer me?

Your other bit about high exposure police brutality has some merit but many will sum it up to adrenaline fuelled bad policing - so called public 'doubling down' when faced with a crowd.

I didn't make any such suggestions in this thread.

What exactly are you referring to here?

You advocated that the police wouldn't purposefully act brutally with so many witnesses, I stated that they'd likely double down and not let the cameras deter their authoritarian overkill due to sheer incompetence; see what happened as a result. Can you now more easily understand what I was referring to?

The move by the police was just retarded imo. Complete police overhaul opportunity to be taken. They kill all of you to be fair, they think they're playing schmuck hunt on patrol.

I advocated nothing.

The inconsistencies of Floyd's death, should not be separated from the relevant events at the time.

This is the first police killing of a black man that took 8 minutes, and was recorded the entire time.

Most police do not want to ruin their careers and lives by killing someone for a trivial crime in broad daylight.

At the same time, other officers kept the public at bay and allowed the "event" to happen, and for "the public" to record it.

You're suggesting this:

I stated that they'd likely double down and not let the cameras deter their authoritarian overkill due to sheer incompetence

I'm not seeing the incompetence you are suggesting. Everything they do appears to be measured action. The officers appear calm. One appears to carefully check Floyd's pulse.

No signs of panic.

It appears planned, and deliberate.
