Another bad apple (George Floyd case)

[k-town_king]

The whole saying is one bad apple spoils the bunch. If there are so many "bad apple" police then that means all of them have been spoiled.

This here is murder. All over a POSSIBLE bad check.

Is a knee to the back of the neck SOP? I can’t imagine it is. And the other cop is just pretending nothings wrong. **** those guys.

Agreed, straight up killed this man. Had I been there that short bald cop would have to shoot me as I would have jumped his nerdy azz.

The dead guy had resisted arrest. I don't know if he continued to do so after being cuffed. That being said, there was no need to keep a knee on the guy's neck - especially after he said he couldn't breathe. To me, zap folks with the taser as many times as necessary and be done with any and all resisting mess.

No justification for this, period.

This is an over policing over aggression issue.

Once the cop on his back had him subdued back the hell off. He was on an extreme power trip. He needs to be help accountable. The bald one is complicit he didn’t act one bit to deescalate he just brow beat the crowd while the other one killed the hand cuffed guy.

We police as we govern. There literally governors with their knees in the back of the necks of millions of citizens.

 

[hog88]

Despicable. Once he was handcuffed there was no need to keep him pinned down like that.

The one cop should be charged with manslaughter at least. On a different note.....why do guys resist in the first place, even if you aren't guilty? It will NEVER end well when you resist the police so don't do it and live to fight another day. If this was over a bad check this guy likely doesn't see jail time or very little jail time at the most.

 

[allvol123]

The officer should face charges. Go thru the system as anyone else.

That said, the playing up the race card is nauseating.

 

[Matt2496]

Why was that idiot cop putting a knee on his neck when there was literally no reason to? The dude was already borderline incapacitated.

Looks like murder to me.

This cop killed this man most likely because the cop " felt disrespected" This cop and his bald Barney should be suspended without pay and charged with manslaughter today.

Just because he was committing a felony and resisting arrest doesn’t mean you should call him a bad apple.

This is 100% a training issue. This dumbass in no way should've kept his knee there when the guy finally quits fighting him.

This officer deserves to be fired and sued off his a**....positional asphyxiation is even more likely when the suspect is on drugs as he was....

Actually based on the video alone it’s a classic opportunity to play the race card. That falls on the idiot cop with the knee in the guys back.

over policing? No, they were there for several valid reasons
over aggression? The officer is totally in the wrong for the action with the knee....poor training leads to culpability

 

[hndog609]

Despicable. Once he was handcuffed there was no need to keep him pinned down like that.

Once cuffed it's pretty hard to justify that degree of forced restraint. That the person declared breathing trouble before succumbing is especially damning. It's a very, very bad look.

That is what makes this infuriating as there was no need to have your knee on this guys neck once he submits. Now it gives the race baiters more ammunition and they don't need any to begin with but this idiot cop deserves what he gets.

Yeah, fire him and then they're even.

The opportunity exists anytime there is a white cop and black victim. But playing it is lazy and shouldnt ever be played. Thus, it will always be played.

this is true and I’m not sure what the answer is..... several years ago.... I had a red trans am with silver ground effects..... I was speeding doing about 90.... cops on other side of highway turned on their lights as they passed.... I decided to run from them thinking that they couldn’t get turned around in time to catch me .... I turned down streets trying to escape..... I pulled down this one street and their was what appeared to be almost 500 African-Americans outside.... two cop cars pulled in behind me and made me get out of the car.....a black teenager asked me what did you do? The cops drawer their weapons and told everyone to stay the f back.... I could tell those two cops were scared to freaking death down there in that neighbor.... Anyone made a wrong move and it was going down...

Yeah that evens things out. How about the cop gets arrested for murder which is what this is?
