Was the George Floyd thing even real?
I’m not sure who is supposed to be offended here 😂
And I don’t wanna debate whether George Floyd was murdered or whether he died of overdose. Put all that aside and just consider how degrading it is for cops to be trained to put their knee on any part of your body while you’re handcuffed and lying on the ground. Despicable.

Philosophical question. We don't have to answer it
I disagree about the training. They are literally trained to shoot to kill in certain situations. A knee to detain someone is not outrageous.
With Floyd, going outside your training and providing aid sooner woukd have been the correct measure. He was a career criminal, likely known in the area, and Chauvin likely didn't believe he was really dying (since it wasn't due to excessive force but instead fent OD).
Ultimately it's easy to play Monday quarterback but who knows what we would really do in that situation. All I know is a black man is over 50 times more likely to be killed by another black man then a cop in America. Let's focus on that.
