Apparently Floyd WAS resisting. I know I wondered how he got from being handcuffed and sitting against a wall to laying on his face next to a police car, and why he wasn't just put into the police car. Well... he was put into a police car. A struggle ensured there and he was dragged out and held while they waited for a paddy wagon.  That doesn't excuse the incompetence and stupidity of the cop who kept his knee on his neck for so long, but it helps explain why they held him down rather than letting him sit up again.

It is criminal and the cop should be punished to the full extent of the law. Is not Floyd's fault that his memory is being tarnished by people to loot and anarchist communists to throw Molotov cocktails at the police.

Is anyone saying the cop involved treated him the correct way? Nope. They put him in a car, he struggled, so they pulled him out. We don't know what further struggles there were but he was put on his face on the ground, which is normal police procedure, pinned in place, again normal procedure, but held too long.

The man was in handcuffs, 3 other big cops around him and the cop was being filmed on his every movie. That did not stop the cop from acting the way he did. It gets to show you the level of intellect of some in the police force. Is pure incompetence and stupidity. You have one person dead for a 20$ fake bill, the cop not only that he ruined his life, now cops around the country, their job got twice as hard as before and you have a society in chaos.

When you put that uniform on, is not about you and your challenges, is something bigger than yourself, if you can't control your anger maybe is time to switch careers to MMA.
