Wet Got Bigger Problems Than George Floyd

Looks like there was a personal feud between the officer and Floyd going back years.

Maybe the cop wasn't happy at having a drug addict working with him.

The report certainly underscores the racist context.  It also suggests that Floyd had an inclination towards standing up to bullies who abused their authoritah which might explain why Chauvin murdered Floyd given the opportunity to do so.

He seemed to be a bully himself, before he found god.  Sure a man can change and that has to be taken into account. But detain and then let the courts do the rest.

The report said he was resisting, but in one vid, he kind of acted drunk or intoxicated..  he could not really walk, and fell down a couple times, once smacking his head on the police vehicle. Yes they had problems getting him into the truck, but if anyone has tried to move a completely intoxicated slumped person who could barley walk. ... it's a challenge.  Why he was dragged back out??  No clue.  Once in the truck, they should have closed the door and be done with it.

If you saw the second video they were clearly struggling with him in the car. That would be why he was dragged back out as they then called and ambulance to take him in.

Co-incidence or not, this time 28 years ago was the LA-riots. That was also an election-year. Later that year the incumbent president Bush sr lost. 

I guess some people hope that history would repeat itself.

No. That makes zero sense. If someone is out of control they take his back legs and bend and cuff the legs up to the hands that are cuffed.  The  last thing you do is  put a violent out of control person in an ambulance without proper leg restraints. You immobilize his legs first. You do not use a  knee for a prolonged restraint, only a takedown and until the cuffs are on. There is no move to restrain his legs...he was cuffed and on the ground . At that point a hand pushing on his head sideways is more than sufficient if you need to restrain. 

At this point you are  inventing  as you go along to try talk around the knee restraint.

I like how everyone is suddenly an expert on Nazi symbology...yet misidentify a red triangle as one. 

A Red Triangle and you were likely a Polish or French political prisoner at Birkenau...not at the head of an SS Panzer Division..

I often jocularly tease one of my Russian work-mates by asking shouldn't there be more black people in Russia. No way is his answer. I try to say that there are about 150 million people in Russia so something like 5-10 million black people would make no difference. Not going to happen is the answer of my work-mate. If anyone in Russia ever tried to push such an agenda it would lead to a civil-war.

On a serious note, there may be no black people in Russia but there are millions of Caucasians(not meaning the American definition for white people) and they are a real PITA for Russia.
