CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

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.'

Again, I think you ignored too much of what I have written, and focussed on one part.

I didnt condone kneeling on him.

Excessive force is also not condoned.

The question is why was it used?  Was it because he was being complicit with Police and they decided to take action?

Or was it because he was resisting arrest?

Dont sit there and fit the narrative to your own viewpoint.  Look at what happened.  There is more than one way to avoid this outcome, and it isn't solely by telling police not to kneel on a bloke for 8 mins, and not use excessive force and be nice to a suspected perpetrator.

James Gargasoulas is the outcome when police dont take action.
