Exactly! Too many in this country feel, with this Commander-in-Chief, they don't have to be responsible. If the one at the top, in charge of executing the law, never takes responsibility, why should any one?

You have to be convinced that these problems are real.
Both problems are "real". There are police who use un-justified force and there are subjects that resist arrest. Watch a couple hours of "Live PD" if you think this isn't true. It is not impossible/ never happens that a police officer throws a subject to the ground without saying a word. I think it is a rare occurrence. Can I prove that, no I can not. What is absolutely not a rare occurrence, because I have seen it a thousand times, is a subject refusing to be cuffed and fighting the police and the bigger the man, the more likely he is to resist. Do I know that Floyd tried to resist, I do not. Do I think it likely that he tried to resist resulting in him ending up on the ground, yes I do. Should the officer have a knee on the man's neck once he has been cuffed, no, he should not. He should have been stood up and put in the back of a patrol car.
Even with mounds of video evidence. Just because the officer is afraid, that's no justification to subdue the subject.
It is absolutely justification for being subdued if the officer is afraid for his life. As a matter of fact, it is routine for an officer to put cuffs on an individual while being questioned for their safety and for the safety of the officer. I hear them say it all the time, "you are not being arrested but I'm going to put these cuffs on while you are questioned". Every situation is different and like I said, the bigger the man, the more likely that he will be put in cuffs and the more likely he will resist being put in cuffs which of course will bring more police in to subdue the suspect.
If a cop says put your hands behind your back the only response to ensure you don't get taken to the ground, is to comply.
I've bitched at The Waco Kid about this. It takes real nerve to see what has been joked about for decades. Originally Posted by eccieuser9500

And you didn't think to show us any of these videos? Do you know how to post a link? You have seen verifiable video of every minute of this confrontation? And you know this how?
his action? possibly passing a fake $20 bill.. murdered for that, if it is even true.
Somebody notified police of a possible crime.
the Nightclub Owner who employed both Floyd and the now arrested Cop, was very revealing.. how on "Urban-themed Nights" that Cop and other White Cops were "skittish", always calling for backup Police over the most minor incidents.
Sure, cause "minor incidents" never turn into major incidents. In this day and age, anytime a police officer stops someone, back up is always called for the safety of the officer. Of course your anti police bias can't wrap your head around the fact that a lone police officer is vulnerable to a larger group of people attacking him which we have now seen in technicolor on the evening news.
in Dallas, the Cops would have told the store that reported the fake $20 bill, to stop bothering them and wasting their time with bullshit.. in Minneapolis it was a call to murder. Originally Posted by Chung Tran
