I always had a great deal of respect for Police officers and how they put their life at risk everyday,until I heard about this sickening thing that happened. It was not only not necessary but in my opinion murder.How would these animals have felt if it was their son. They have really taken a life.

Often, with dirtbag cops like this, the abuse starts before a suspect (who isn't their favorite color) says anything. The cops keep revving up the abuse until the suspect reacts, then they use the "resisting arrest" ploy.

Race card anyone? Funny how one of the worst cases of police brutality was done to a WHITE MAN.Sorry can't use that one to promote agenda to turn the whole nation into riotville.
I still get no feedback about the violent crime in 'some' n-hoods.Guess all those lives don't matter.

"until I heard about this sickening thing that happened."

So are you now going to judge all police officers , based on this one ? .... I hope not.

And we still do not know the whole story & what the final outcome will be.

Lets wait for some facts..............even a video might not be, what it seems to be.
 
It did bother me that the onlookers, of which there were apparently plenty, did nothing to stop the cop. Even with the police armed, it seems to me that somebody should have at least tried. But it's easy for me to say, I guess. It would probably take a real hero to go up against 4 armed cops, one of whom was apparently nuts.

Who is they? One individual, ONE, did this. By they do you mean the many civilians who stood by and watched? By they do you mean, the people who video taped the crime and some of them I am sure sold the footage. Profiting off his death. Do you mean them?

Or do you just mean the other police officers? The situation was extremely complicated for them. I am sure 911 could explain that better than me. I am sure the investigation will explain why they took no action.

But since everyone wants to speculate, and NO ONE knows the truth, let’s speculate this. Repeatedly, forum members have said the individual police officer looked “crazy”. So you interfere with a crazy police officer, pull him off the guy. He has a gun, he draws that gun, and now you have a much worst problem.

I have no ideal what really happened to cause this, and neither does anyone else. If the police officer is, indeed crazy, then he needs treatment not judgement. Just wait for the investigation. Wait for the charges. Volunteer for the jury. Go riot, why not?

Honestly, I have enough to atone for in my life without adding a false judgement of this guy to my list. I WILL NOT DO IT. Wasn’t there something in the Bible about “judge not, less you be judged”. Oh, and something to the effect “Those without sin, throw the first stone”.

I guess I am not as pure as the rest of you. I have sin, I will sin again I am sure. I have made small judgements and always end up sorry that I did. But this, this I WILL NOT DO. As I have already said, put me on ignore if you like. The law of the our land-innocent until proven guilty.

Some cases do require a complete investigation before making a judgement. This one doesn't.....unless, of course you don't want to see what your eyes are seeing.

Yes. For all we know, the cop may have committed a friendly murder.

Well thank goodness 98% of cops are just doing their job and don't act like this.
Does all the death by gangs count? You won't read about the torture,raapes and dismemberments going on with them because the news won't rreport it,it's not PC. Things cops see or at least hear about everyday.
Our nation has changed and not for the good.I can still remember when it was safe to walk down the streets of America,not anymore.

Why say only 98% of cops are just doing their job & don't act like this? Why not use the tired, old, but more impressive 99.9%?
And when did you conduct this poll?

I truely believe the police in Minneapolis should take the week off, plus whenever wherever there is rioting in any city the police should all go home.

Let’s us see who is the first to beg for protection as their house burns.

I lived there decades ago. I don’t live there now. We have lots of protests here, legal protests. We have never had a riot.

The rioters burned building without any knowledge or care if anyone was in those buildings. They don’t like their police force, well, ok, all the police should quit. They can find jobs elsewhere easily. If I remember correctly, and I might not, Watts, in the day, was pretty much burned to the ground.

Did that stop racism? Nope. Racism goes both ways, people forget that. People spout their meaningless judgements and then go have their morning coffee and toast as if what they say matters. It doesn’t.

Protests aren't the problem. It's when a protest devolves into a riot that's the problem. Protests are designed to bring, or heighten awareness to an issue. Sometimes they work. But riots solve nothing. They're destructive and they don't solve problems they just create them.

And just so we're clear, I'm not anti-police, just anti-the officers who murdered Mr. Floyd. They are the opposite of what the police force should represent, which is to serve and protect its public. There is footage of Mr. Floyd being led to the police vehicle before the incident occurred. He was not resisting. He was quiet and compliant. How this escalated is beyond me. Perhaps he did just trip and the officers misinterpreted that as resistance, but even so that doesn't require the excessive force that was used against him. He was handcuffed with his hands behind his back, so was subdued the moment he was on the ground.

Someone here mentioned that he shouldn't have been engaged in a criminal act. No. He shouldn't. But....so what? How is that even remotely relevant to his murder? The mindset seems to be that if you break the law, then you just better be prepared to deal with whatever you get. No. Not just no, but HELL NO. It's not the job of the police to mete out "justice."

I am absolutely sickened by this incident. Social media right now is blowing up over this. There are various threads and strains of opinions. One is that Mr. Floyd had a record (I don't know if that's true or not) and that he was a drunk and a criminal. Again, how is ANY of that relevant to what happened to him? He deserved what he got because he'd broken the law before? Seriously????

This was an atrocity. This was torture of a defenseless human being (he was handcuffed, remember?) This was cruel and inhumane and I hope (though I'm not holding my breath) that these officers are tried for murder. That they haven't even been arrested is a travesty.

RIP Mr. Floyd. #georgefloyd

Yeah, and the heinous crime he was suspected of being engaged in was forgery -- not exactly a violent offense, or one that carries the death penalty.

Actually, it could have been. Maybe he participated in a home invasion, killed the fat old man that lived there, stole his checks, and was now trying to cash one by forging the victims name. Such actions have happened and such actions do carry the death penalty In a death penalty state.

But its all speculation, cause WE DON,T KNOW.

While that may be true in Canada, where you live, it is not true here IMO. I frequently had, before the virus, our black friend over. I also invited his MIL, who lives with them, and his wife. They never came even when invited out to eat. He occasionally brought his kid.

They invited us over for thanksgiving. We went, although it was awkward for us as we were not used to eating with a large group of people, especially other than white people. It became even more awkward when several, other than white people, questioned why we were there.

I told him later we were his “token” white friends.

After a great deal of thought, I realized that while throughout my life I had had people of different races (Friends) over to my house for lunch/dinner; this was the first time I’d been invited to the home of a different race person. Hmm, give that some thought.

I think, now, that they were racists.
 
As I read the story from our source in Washington, I did take notice that Mr. Floyd was being charged with forgery. (No details were provided.) I don't know if this was a felony charge or a misdemeanor charge. Forgery can go either way depending on the details of the rest of the story.

The preliminary report by the doctor at the hospital and before autopsy is that the officer who placed his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck with added pressure probably caused his carotid artery to become blocked and in turn this caused the blood flow to the brain to be blocked. Since blood also contains life sustaining oxygen and the brain was deprived of these elements, death was imminent.

Why arrests have not been made up to now at 1:52 p.m (EDST). on Thursday, May 28, 2020, is anyone's guess. Neither the mayor of Minneapolis, who is a white man and the Police Chief, who is a black man, had any additional comments at the time they were interviewed this morning at 11:18 a.m. on the same day. The FBI is also investigating both as an aide to the Minneapolis Police Department, as well as conducting their own investigation with the intent to possibly pursue charges.. The FBI has commented that Mr. Floyd's constitutional rights, including his civil rights were violated.

The Chief of Police was asked by a news reporter from CBS if the death penalty was in play 'if' the state would file a murder charge. The Police Chief stated that Minnesota does not have the death penalty, however, the FBI could charge (name withheld) with murder and take charge of the case, so that the death penalty could possibly be the penalty if convicted.

When the Mayor was questioned as to whether he expected continued civil disobedience tonight, he replied that he was unsure.
 
Where were all the bleeding hearts when it was a white group being persecuted by theBLM, State police and FBI?
Because they were white most said they got what they deserved.Only a few people stood by these hard working non criminal ' never even as much as a parking ticket ' men were being persecuted and their animals hunted down with helicopters, burned alive or shot.
I think hearts only bleed when its for certain people.
