The part where I think this cop had his head buried deeply up his butt was when you could hear him telling the guy who he had his knee on...keeping him down, but demanding he get up and get in the car.

Just how was he supposed to comply?

In defense of the cop...Obviously refusing to obey orders, by god he deserved to die.

And the cop standing there watching? He deserves an accessory to homicide charge for not telling his Komrade to take his knee off the guy's neck a minute or less in...five minutes, followed by another two or so after the guy passed out or was dead? Any good cop would have physically intervened.

This country is in some deep chit if the DOJ comes back with anything but a recommendation of a murder 2 charge. They would be better off with the guy in jail waiting for an arraignment and trial.

With video like this there isn't a whole lot for the DOJ to "look" at except whether to add charges for the other cops, and that is actually the job of the DA. One of the problems here is that this seems to be a police department that has issues of prejudice and biased incidents, it's a police department that needs a cleanup.

The 4 ass hole cops should be disarmed and tossed into the crowd.

“ can’t breathe, ?”
I thought he said he had to pee,!

Why aren’t these cops in jail?

Does anyone want to give me a lecture on the 4th Amendment? Or the 1st Amendment? Or the 14th Amendment?

Lol! It would solve everything.... justice achieved? Check. Mob appeased and therefore disbanded? Check. Other enraged citizens appeased? Check. Victim's family appeased? Check. Taxpayer money saved and not wasted? Check. Great idea Cap'n.

Divine truth

I personally didn't see the video footage, and just read about the unfortunate incident.

This is another Eric Garner situation, and, if the individual had comply with the police order, he'd would be alive today.

NEVER chellenged the police (policy enforcemers) aggressively, because you are opening the door to a aggressive.

Always chellenged police or anyone with Intelligences, if they are in error.

Eric Garner contributed to his own demise, he was involved in a illegal activities, and shouldn't had resisted the arrest.

I don't have all the particular and information on this case to make the same observation.

I'm not taking side with no one, just making a wise observation, on the matter.

Sad, but true to the core, "African Americans", and Hispanics identify themselves with the "N" word, and don't care.

So when police comes into the Communities, they see you as that, and will treat you as that in which you have characterized yourself.

No! There was absolutely no need for these officers to act this way. All four officers were summarily fired. They most likely will be prosecuted. To not do so would be a travesty of justice.

Does anyone see the need for Blacks in Minneapolis and outside agitators running rampage and looting stores because of this? They also need to be prosecuted.

Which side overreacts?

The Black community needs to take a hard serious look at why they react this way. There are millions of Blacks in America and most never have any run-ins with law enforcement, going about their day as law-abiding citizens. The race-baiters try to make everything about race, discrimination, bigotry. If you come from this position in the first place, everything you see and experience is tainted by this attitude of confirmation bias. Thanks to the media which perpetuates this attitude so that it helps them sell more advertising and gains adherents through sensationalism, it only serves to further the divide between people.

There will always be a few idiots who don't know how to live in a civilized world. There are some who are not fit to serve as law enforcement officers and agencies need to do a better job of weeding out the undesirable. Nevertheless, Most do their job day in and day out with the utmost concern for the safety and rights of the people they deal with. This is an aberration from the everyday performance of duties by the vast majority of law enforcement officials. A few bad caps do not justify painting all of them with a broad brush accusation of racism.

Great post.

Here is the video. It is very clear the guy either became unconscious or died while the policeman had his knee on his neck. Especially when the ambulance technicians came - the first thing the technician did was take the man's pulse...and it is clear he was unconscious when they put him on the gurney.

This is disturbing, and you have to agree to a disclaimer, but it shows exactly what happened:

And for passing a fake $20.00 he could have gotten from an ATM. Makes no sense. Mike

If you didn't watch the video and you don't have all the particular information on this case, how can you possibly make "a wise observation on the matter"?

The police were called when Floyd attempted to pass a counterfeit $20 dollar bill at a store. There is no report on whether or not Floyd knew the bill was bogus, he certainly can't tell us now, can he?

This was a petty white collar crime that in no way deserved this kind of police reaction. Moreover, if I were a black man and the cops started getting rough with me the instant I stepped out of the car - at the cop's request, mind you - I would probably put up some resistance.

To say that Floyd brought this upon himself, to imply he "contributed to his own demise" is both ignorant and racist.

The police had Floyd on the ground, face down, his hands cuffed behind his back, and under his full weight, the cop had his knees planted hard on Floyd's neck and in the middle of his back. The cop even had his hands in his pockets as Floyd begged for his life.

The officer, Derek Chauvin, a 19 year veteran with at least a dozen police conduct complaints that resulted in no disciplinary action and one that led to a letter of reprimand, is the dirty dog who dunnit.

That said, I cannot tell if English is your first language or if you are just poorly educated. Your comments here are irrational and incoherent. Your spelling, grammar and syntax are atrocious. There is no evidence of reason or critical thought in all you've said here.

Clearly first degree murder. Those cops should be executed.
