because criminals never lie, especially in that exact manner to get a chance to escape. i haven't seen/heard the exact same thing despite it being obvious they can breathe on at least 20 other videos in the last month or so alone. big logic in that enlightened head over there.

He was a "suspect", not a criminal. Only a judge can label him a criminal after he has seen all the evidence for his alleged crime. The police in US, not all not all, but in great numbers automatically assume that the party who they are approaching are criminals and therfor dangerous. it's a cowards way of policing and a major role in why so many innocent people die every year due to their malpractice (bad policing)...and they are mostly Caucasian victims too. ... But, you already know all of this and are just playing the devils advocate.

    Just have him sit up next to a wall https://youtu.be/XkEGGLu_fNU?t=227 or a car wheel tire... Why are you continuing to engage me with this?

    Just ask yourself what position would you place your brother if he was saying he can't breathe, having a cardiac arrest...Would you kneel on his neck, twist his wrists behind his back before the ER arrives?!

      They didn't just lay him down, they put him in a hold while Chauvin kneel'd on his neck. Watch the tape again. At the end, even the bystanders knew the man was dying, they pleeded for officers to check his pulse and chauvin kept kneeling to make sure he's dead. Plain as DAY... Why would I whine after the sentencing lol. Imma light a candle for Floyd knowing that three murderers will spend a considerable amount of time behind bars with other demons who will want them dead 24/7.
