I cannot say that I do. Generally the video we say was missing relevant context. I always assumed that when the officer's action was examined against the law that their actions were deemed just.
There were two main reasons:
1.) The jury saw video that the rest of the United States wasn't allowed to 2.) The defense demonstrated that the officers used the PR-24 as they were trained
Now with that in mind, please watch this short video from last Tuesday.
Let me know when the light bulb comes on:
That is an excellent example of minimal force necessary to take a suspect into custody. If he had died in the rollover? So be it! He should have stopped the car.
What we did not see in this video was two large men placing their weight upon the perp's chest and abdomen until they suffocated the life from him.
As a rule, I have no problem with Cops. They are doing a mostly thankless and sometime dangerous job for, in many cases very low pay. They gotta do what they gotta do in the vast majority of cases.
But Floyd's death was not the vast majority. The Senior officer's actions in this case demonstrated pathological indifference, AND extreme negligence at the very best, or perhaps purposeful murder at the worst.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
