Point taken….but Floyd was a bouncer...former inmate, football player...there may have been some intimidation...a 6'6" over 300 pound tank charging at you could give rise to some apprehension and once upper ground was gained, I can see why the officer wanted to maintain the upper-hand. His alternative would have been to tazze...but, Floyd had already expressed a need for a physician...tazze him would not be an option.....letting him up and possibly having to tackle him again....not an option....possible medical condition. So, put yourself in the officer's shoes....WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

So was Floyd . ..INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY . ....This officer played JUDGE JURY and EXECUTIONER !
Yes, that is why he was being DETAINED. The officer restrained him....why he died has not been determined, you and others are speculating.
You seem to be overly emotional about Floyd, does his situation churn up a personal experience?

Like I said he was convicted criminal who wanted to change his life around , but was denied!
Three years is long enough to get a BS....He had 5 years in jail with free college courses and an additional four years after he got out of prison. How much longer do you think he needed?

Why is it so hard for you to believe that there are bad cops out there and that he is one of them!!
I am waiting for two thing, autopsy and formal investigation. In the USA, we consider everyone innocent until PROVEN guilty. It does not matter their profession. And Floyd WAS a CONVICTED criminal!

But here's more about your hero Derek Chauvin https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/us/minneapolis-officer-complaints-george-floyd/index.html
Your sources just keep getting better...proving my points, thank you!!!Keep them coming!!! "It's unclear what the internal affairs complaints against the officer, Derek Chauvin, were for. MPD did not provide additional details." Last quarter, Minneapolis has almost 2,000 officer complaints. If you do the average, one reprimand in 18 years is a damn good record!!!
And your source is the Liberal news site...CNN!

Good post.... did you know that Floyd was 6'6", a bouncer for a club, former tight end … high school and college? Did you know that his last prison term was 5 years (plea deal) for armed robbery, assault, and home invasion? Can we guess why the officer, under 6'0" and a feather weight compared to the mammoth Floyd, felt a need to restrain Floyd?

Floyd was a bouncer, meaning he must have been muscular and able to hold his own in a fist to fist. Floyd was 6'6", much taller than the "demon officer." And yet some ask why he was being held down....Played "tight end" meaning he had to have developed massive neck muscles. Played college football...even better. He "towered" over other players!
A pillar of the community! Who just happened to pass counterfeit bill....
So there we have it! On one side we have a huge muscular former football player and a bouncer who did time for armed robbery and home invasion. On the other hand we have a beat cop, called to do his job. A regular, decorated cop, barely 6' tall at 180 pounds....David met Goliath! Problem, Goliath died and David's life is ruined! This should brighten your day....the officer has been arrested.
This tale just keeps getting better!

Violence and destruction of property is NOT a protest. It is criminal; opportunistic crime, nothing more!
Someone needs to explain that to the media, the other grossly stupid part of this equation.

We have photos of many of these people, why don't we arrest them and have them make restitution? Give them a shovel to clean up, if they are penniless. Otherwise prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law!!! I support peaceful assembly, but burning, l**ting, destruction of property and assaulting people is criminal. Why should we pay to rebuild their cities?

So Floyd was not angel ,but he was trying to change his life around...
How do you know this? By changing his life he went from perhaps selling drugs, mugging, robbery to passing counterfeit money? I can only guess because NO ONE IS running stories on his past. And what a shock, my friends at our police station tells me his criminal record is blocked and even they can not access his records. Is that the changes you had in mind?
So, here we have it....a complete campaign to demonize a police officer and a total blackout on the potential criminal past of Floyd. The records would not be "locked down" unless there is a tainted past. So....how do you know he was changing his life, did he wake up on the day he died and decided he would cash in all his counterfeit money--the last criminal act, and then find Jesus, be absolved of all his sins, and change his ways? Did he leave a letter for you to read? What evidence do you have? Just asking.
The officer had complaints....and if you followed the links, he was absolved of all wrong doing and in ONE case, as a rookie, he was reprimanded. His record is posted by all the media...but Floyd, CRICKETS! And now you claim a deep insight into Floyd's good intentions.

I agree he should have been fired before this but we can’t suspend due process. If we do then that sets a dangerous precedent. We can’t let emotion rule.
The officer in question WAS CLEARED of all complaints, except one where he received a letter of reprimand several years ago while he was a rookie. BTW, he also received a medal of valor....but, that will not be mentioned.
His civil rights were suspended days ago.....

It's more than this video . .. This cop had 18 complaints against him...This was the last straw that broke the camel's back!! He should of been fired after the 1 st complaint , than maybe this poor man would of been alive today . ...
What about Floyd's history? Was he a "first time offender?" Why is the media silent on his past encounters with the law?
Second question....can you provide a source for the nature and disposition of the "18" complaints?
Observation: If an officer is only a uniform mannequin, does not enforce laws.....that officer will have few or no formal complaints. If an officer is "active" and does the job, that officer will have complaints.
