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.

It wasn't murder, there was no intent to kill. He expired and that's unfortunate. At worse the officer is guilty of putting excessive force imo, certainly not murder.

You'd have to be the biggest dumb-ass in the world to think that holding someone who can't breathe in a chokehold for over 8 minutes while they slowly lose consciousness wouldn't potentially lead to their death. So he's a cruel murderer or the world's biggest dumbass. I'm thinking the former is much more likely but if it's the latter, he has no business being on the force either.

Standard procedure. Excessive force as I said, that practice is established. Probably his COVID and/or whatever drug he got high on caused his breathlessness. The police only accelerated it by applying excessive force.
