Tbh there's a procedure to be followed. Even if you find a terrorist you don't crush his windpipe with your knee.

Edit: it seems my comment was factually incorrect. Going to leave this up anyway so I think twice before commenting.

Tbh, if you take a look at my earlier comments and posts, you will see that I agree with you—since the first day the news about Mr. Floyd came out. There is no need to read anything into my post. I have been all over this story from the beginning and today is the first time I have seen this information. Could it be that "the media" have been keeping this obscure? Oh, and I never called him a terrorist and I did not say his windpipe was crushed. He is more likely a victim, despite his record. You are making a huge assumption from my reporting of his record to schooling me that "there is a procedure to be followed."

Hey, just logged back in. I apologize for commenting on something I didn't know about. However, it's sad you thought i was 'schooling' you just from that one sentence. It's not like I had any context and one can't check the post histories of OPs of every single post.

Finally, I never called anyone a terrorist.

Your statement "crush his windpipe" is flat out factual incorrect:

An autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County medical examiner stated there were “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation,” but it did conclude that Floyd suffered from coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease and high blood pressure. Certainly, the meth, morphine and fentanyl didn’t help these conditions.

Floyd was a heart attack waiting to happen. Several arteries were 75% blocked and one was 90% blocked. Floyd also had an enlarged heart — “48% bigger than it ought to be” — which is a sign of impending heart failure.

Allegedly.

Israelis created the technique and taught it to American police specifically because it doesn't crush the windpipe. It compresses the arteries, causing dizziness and possible unconsciousness. Let's stick to facts.
