George Floyd

Don't give a cop an excuse to put his knee on your neck in the first place.

I almost took you seriously for a second.


No victim blaming!

He is right. But, it was unnecessary for him to keep his knee there which is why the stupid fuck will be in jail probably until he dies now.

So at what point should he have removed his knee -- and don't say something stupid, like "before he died"?

If it isn't authorized by the Use of Force guidelines then it should never be used. If it is, or was, how was it supposed to be used? If you don't know this, why would you conclude that "he was right"?

He is right, you shouldn't give a cop a reason to put his knee on your neck. But if you do, then the cop should take his knee off once you are handcuffed and restrained, which he was. What if it was a taser instead of his knee? Once he was tasered and restrained, would it be appropriate or necessary for the cop to continuously taser the fuck out of him until he died?

Did Chauvin have his knee on Floyd's neck before he was cuffed? I doubt it. And what is the applicability of "resisting arrest" when you're dealing with someone that has mental health issues and/or is intoxicated?

The main problem is the limitation of liability. When you shield people from the consequences of their actions you're asking for trouble -- big trouble. Chauvin isn't overly stupid. He's the product of a broken system that exists to maintain order, and has little to nothing to do with justice, and Democrats and Republicans alike bear responsibility for it's brutal excesses.
