It’s good to see Jordan and others sticking up for the George Floyd’s of the world.

I still can’t believe what occurred (there has to be more to this than meets the eye (apparently the cop was a bouncer at the same restaurant Mr Floyd worked (one can wonder if this was premeditated or not)) and it makes me sick.

I’m not a cop but I thought once you apprehend a person and get the cuffs on them you and your partners lift them up and stick them in the back of the police car where they can’t get out or cause material damage.

Why someone would use that specific move/hold (knee to neck) any longer than necessary to get the cuffs on (if at all since there’s other technics available) is hard to understand. There were at least 3 police officers in the video;; you mean to tell me that they couldn’t get the cuffs on him quicker then place him in the car?

BTW, with the bystanders witnessing this live - why in the hell didn’t anyone call 911 to report this. Maybe they did and I wasn’t aware of this. I hope I would have called 911 to report it, if I were there.

IS, all of what you say is true with one small exception - the cuffs were on Mr. Floyd when they initially took him from his vehicle - he did not resist - they took him out and sat him down next to the wall his mural is on now - when the other cops arrived he was taken to another vehicles, while still handcuffed, and there was some thing going on with a cop leaning in on the seat that Mr. Floyd was in to some degree or other - next video show him back outside, still cuffed, but on the ground with three punks (I won't honor them with the term officers) on him while he pled for his life, mother, and ultimately died. Don't know the history but I do know that if any civilians, white - black - brown - red - or even wearing Red MAGA hats did that, they'd have been put in jail F'N IMMEDIATELY. Seems like the longer a cop carries a badge the more arrogant and misguided they become. Have seen it numerous times in Albany - it may not be systemic to the point where all cops have racial prejudices but way too many do and the union and management are too quick to lie and cover to save their sorry asses...

In that case it makes it even worse IMO; there’s no logical explanation why someone would do that to an already handcuffed person.

The original narrative is being lost. Especially, when see the kind of “anarchy” going on in Seattle. And politicians placating to these people is making things worse!
