The statement somehow takes precedence over reality?????
Did you watch the video?
Where was he uncooperative?
When he wouldn't stand up (hard to do when one is laying on the ground, cuffed, with a man kneeling on one's neck and another man holding one's legs...)???
I watched all three several times, without looking to find culpability.
This is the same old songs, stuck in a groove. No matter how many times people ask the same questions...the answer from me will not change unless there is NEW evidence, which is different than opinions.
In our legal system, the accusers must prove the case against the defendant. So, instead of asking where I see a failure of the law enforcement, try prosecuting your position. I have answered all questions, I have provided the officer's handbook, links to videos, diagrams....and the complaint. All of these sources support my position. To prosecute the position that the officer committed murder, evidence has to be more than preponderance of evidence. His accusers must show, he caused the death. His actions were dangerous. His actions demonstrated a depraved mind. He demonstrated lack of concern for human life.
For murder, the accuser must present evidence that is "beyond a reasonable doubt" must dispel any beliefs that the defendant did not do what he is accused of doing. This is the highest burden of proof. Criminal trials require the judge or jury to base convictions on evidence supporting guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
So, prosecute your case and I will respond...item by item. But, give evidence...not feelings or opinions based on the same tired BS...'his knee was on his throat', he was begging', he said he could not breathe, and so on. Evidence, he jumped up in down with glee when he learned Floyd died....that would be evidence of a depraved mind. Understands your assignment? Now is the time to ask for clarification.
