Is it considered good policing practice to put people who are already telling you they can't breathe onto the ground and putting them in a chokehold for over 8 minutes past the point when they have appeared to lose consciousness? Is that better, somehow?

It is good policing practice to subdue scumbags who are lying to not get put in the squad car and taken to jail. They gave him every opportunity and he would not stop resisting arrest. I used to blame the cop at first, but now no way. The cop is innocent of all charges.

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.

George Floyd was not murdered. He died of a drug overdose. I think when he saw the cops coming to arrest him he swallowed whatever stash he had to get rid of the evidence. What we see in that video is a man ODing. The only thing those officers did wrong was they didn't try to revive him. Floyd was a very large man at 6' 4" 223 pounds. That cop was not applying enough pressure to harm a man of that size. His knee is actually more on his shoulder than his neck. He was foaming at the mouth which is a classic symptom of a drug overdose. George also had a bad heart and had Covid. That combined with the massive amounts of drugs in his system is what killed him. Lot's of people fake being sick/hurt when they are being arrested. Those cops had no way of knowing that he was really in distress. If I were on the jury I would not convict those officers.
