Incredible how they kept this footage to themselves in order to further the BLM agenda.

reply

The media doesn't care about facts, only feelings and their own skewed narrative.

This criminal resisted arrest for a long time and the cops were being nice to him offering to roll the window down for his supposed "claustrophobia." It's funny he didn't have claustrophobia when the cops approached him SITTING IN A CAR WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP!
He was so messed up on drugs too.

reply

Indeed, the media only cares about pushing their agenda. When facts like these emerge that contradict their narrative they ignore them,. The media are not reporters but activists.

reply

Very true.
Even after much of this has "leaked" in the past week or two, the media isn't talking about it!
They won't either because then they may have to admit to jumping to conclusions.

reply

Yes, they will only wait for the officers involved to be exonerated due to this footage in order to then twist the narrative saying how this gives more reason for BLM to riot.

reply

Three of them are out on bond right now.
It's such a highly political case that I'm not confident justice will be served.
BLM won't be happy unless there's a public hanging of all 4 of them, plus defund and abolish police, ICE, no prisons, etc.

If the prosecutor insists on charging 2nd degree, they'll walk and then we'll get another round of riots.

reply

It's clear he died because of the position they put him in.

He's handcuffed with a knee on his neck while saying he can't breathe. Even the bystanders are saying he can't breathe, he's passing out, he's not resisting, and are asking to check his pulse. The cop kept a knee on the neck of a dying person who all the way until death was unable to resist.

reply

He was saying "I can't breathe" way before that repeatedly.

reply

He wasn't passing out before that.
The bystanders weren't saying he was passing out before that.
People weren't asking for his pulse to be checked before that.
There was no need for an ambulance before that.
He didn't stop breathing before that.

reply

The cops had asked him if he was on something within minutes of his arrest. He was foaming at the mouth the entire time, he kept saying he couldn't breathe long before being restrained, he was paranoid (was apparently shot previously), claimed to be claustrophobic, etc. The cops were unsuccessful trying to handle a 6'8" 250 pound guy high as a kite so they called an ambulance and that's what they were waiting so long for. Unfortunately the ambulance wasn't there quick enough.

However, the second he quit resisting and talking, they should have taken his pulse and started chest compressions then instead of waiting until he was in the ambulance. That's where they failed, imo.

reply

Here's the problem. Your initial narrative is that he was too strong for the cops to take lightly, and so they got physical. Then after he died, the narrative becomes he was in such a weak condition throughout the whole thing that his death had nothing to do with the cops.

You can't have it both ways.

reply

Both ways??

Have you ever dealt with someone messed up on drugs (or alcohol for that matter)? It took 3 cops to hold an uncooperative, large, muscular man down.

He was overdosing on some heavy drugs, plus he had health conditions (heart if I remember correctly) and all of that contributed to his death. During the holding down, he lost consciousness so he was beyond weak, he was lifeless! The situation had dramatically changed. It's not about having it both ways.

reply

The cops were out of their reach with this guy. They should have called an ambulance and had him detox at a hospital.

reply

I think that's what they were trying to do.

reply

You need help. The cops' actions ended his life. There's no getting around it.

reply

I'm not saying they didn't, you fool! I'm just saying there is much more to this story than a 8:46 video!

Please don't ever go on jury duty!

reply

Too bad they didn’t. what a mess

reply

Total mess the whole country has had to pay for. Other countries too! 🙄

reply

You're a sick kid.

reply

New video doesn't realy provide anything new. Maybe lesser charges or have the rookie cops go free but the main culprit is Chauvin and he should DEFINITELY be charged for murder no matter. In fact, it establishes the fact he KNEW he couldn't breath beforehand yet did nothing to lessen the problem besides kneeing the neck for nearly 9 minutes (even after he died) and denying him to be turned to his side when a rookie inquired about it.

reply

Yeah that's what I'm sayin too. And the bystanders all saying he can't breathe and asking to check his pulse doesn't help Chauvin either.

reply

I actually agree with that, ultravioletx.

reply

"I can't breathe" is a tactic criminals try regularly. Cops learn this before their first day. I'm not saying Floyd could breathe on the ground with a knee in the back of his neck but he started saying he couldn't breathe way before the cops had restrained him on the ground.
He probably really couldn't breathe because he overdosed.
