CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

I've seen some footage of why they may have taken the actions they did with Floyd.

Not to condone kneeling on a bloke for 8 minutes.  There was clearly a lack of empathy here, nor much care. 

Let's just say he wasn't complying with police instructions and was resisting arrest.  Ever wondered why there are 4 officers to arrest 1 bloke?

All could have been avoided if he just got in the squad car like they were trying to before they pinned him down.

Amazing how we don't hear about that part.  Doesn't fit the agenda.

The cop didn't just kneel on the bloke, he did so on his neck... The cop didn't need to engage any empathy, just to use 'reasonable' force and not 'excessive' force - intelligence/policy rather than aggression. I don't care if Floyd was a serial killer or a direct descendant of Christ himself, his death was wrong and should not have happened. And, as it happened, his death was the 100th monkey; tipping point; the final straw; the match that lit the tinderbox ...of overwhelming present day and historic injustice afforded African American's in the US.

Arguments that with Floyd being an alleged crim it somehow justifies or lessens the injustice he received, are dangerous and dumb. (Same kind of reprehensible and just plain stupid logic used by that Neanderthal judge who claimed that raping a prostitute is somehow not nearly as bad as raping a woman who is not a prostitute).

In the words of one of the world's great leaders, Martin Luther King Jnr... 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'
