Quoted in order of the least relevant first.
While I suspect you of lying about that as well, I will let it go and not demand you prove it.
You make it out like George Floyd was Dwayne The Rock Johnson or Rambo.
No, I actually didn't.
That may be how you took what I said, but is not what I actually said.
An unarmed and handcuffed suspect who can't be subdued by three cops?
Boy howdy I hope their wives don't ever hit them with their purses.
And you?
If you're that terrified at the prospect of an unarmed man in handcuffs, you should probably avoid pissing off a six year-old Girl Scout.
Just more hyperbolic nonsense showing you have no valid arguments.
The weight of three [...]
Yes the weight of the officers contributed to his death.
"Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is
inherently dangerous."
Not relevant.
Why isn't it relevant? Because you need to show how Minneapolis police are specifically trained, what exceptions are available, and show that it was done improperly.
None of this you have done, nor could you at this time.
And even then, something being done improperly makes it an error, not murder.
The knee-to-neck move is banned by several major metropolitan police departments, but Minneapolis police allow police to restrain suspects' necks if they're aggressive or resisting arrest. Floyd was unarmed and handcuffed when he was pinned to the ground.
That it is banned by other departments is irreverent to this case, and as your quote shows, it is allowed in Minneapolis. And whether you know it or not they are allowed to render the person unconscious.
So you are going to have to show it was implemented wrongly to make it an issue, and thus far no one can, especially as the knee was not the cause of his death.
Perhaps you could show us all where Floyd resisted with so much force that it took three officers (lie) AND the full weight of Chauvin on his neck to get him under control.
I've provided links to three videos:
Video 1: Security camera
Video 2: Body cam
Video 3: Cell phone video
:lamo
Video's 1. and 2 are basically useless.
Now if you saw video 3,
(which requires a sign in, unless you do what I did and actually link to the video as a video source and preview the post) it shows Floyd resisting when being cuffed. (hint) It doesn't take two officer to apply cuffs to a person who is not resisting.
Then you can see Floyd resisting again as he is being lead to the other car. Non-cooperation in this manner is resisting. He is placing his feet forward to stop/slow forward progression and then he falls down. That act was also likely intentional on his part. He stated he did not want to go into the vehicle becasue he was claustrophobic, even though he was just seated in an enclosed drivers compartment of another vehicle (he is lying and resisting).
By the way, here is a much better conglomeration of the available video evidence by The New York Times.
I do not agree with the entirety of the narrative but the video evidence provided is good.
(If you do not view it in thread, it too will require a sign in.)
