Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

George may or not have been a petty criminal, but from every angle I have seen he did not deserve to get murdered. R I P George.
His final words. "OFFICER I CAN'T BREATHE" Should echo in the ears of every cop of any Nationality.
But to use it as a reason to riot and pillage is a stain on this poor man's memory. Shame America.

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

There are many Chiefs of Police across America who are denouncing the killing of George Floyd. A Minnesota sheriff has joined peaceful protesters to show solidarity.

There is only one person on O.F.F. who is blaming George Floyd for his own murder. He seems to be denying that institution racism exists and that if Mr. Floyd had been more calm he would not have been murdered. His bottom line ? The police have "right to kill you, in cold blood" even though you are handcuffed and no danger to anyone.

I say that once Mr Floyd was handcuffed and in the back of the police vehicle, all that Derek Chauvin had to do was CLOSE THE DOOR. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF THE STORY. But NO, Chauvin felt some perverse, twisted need to remove Mr. Floyd from the vehicle and grind his knee into Mr. Floyd's neck, slowly torturing him, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, until he died.

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

George Floyd and his family may be escorted during his funeral service by the Houston Police Department.

Chief of Police offered his officers to the Floyd family to provide security and a final honour for Floyd.

He wasn't talking as such. More like gasping between trying to breathe.

I agree, Dave.




But how come we've got two threads on this subject?

From the un-redacted video it is clear that it was impossible to shut the police car door because of the actions of Floyd he was dragged out from them car obviously in a high state of agitation. The way he was treated was wrong but I did not see a deliberate killing take place.

As for anyone saying that the police have a right to kill - link please.

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

Floyd's death has prompted comparisons to that of Eric Garner, an African-American man whose death was brought on by an illegal chokehold during a 2014 interaction with New York City police. Too many police getting away with murder. No chance of any reconciliation unless police-accountability is addressed and they're punished.
