It was actually kind of fun asking them questions about known facts vs media meddling and hype. By the time it was over they had a lot to think about and some points of view even swayed.

Originally posted by mwk128 View PostI don’t see any news outlets saying they murdered an innocent man. That doesn’t matter one iota anyway. Police officers killed an unarmed, handcuffed man. It is unjustifiable. It wasn’t even like a split second mistake. All this talk about medical examiner’s reports, past issues with the law, etc. is just a smokescreen to try and distract from what clearly seems to be the cops killing a guy in broad daylight in the middle of the street. It doesn’t matter if it was a black convicted felon, the pope or Charles Manson what the police did was wrong and they should hang for it. Everything else is just noise.
Please quit pretending that this cop deliberately killed this guy. Was it excessive force,yes. Let me ask you one question. If the races were reversed do you think the media would have covered this in any way? Do you really think this cop "murdered" this guy in the middle of the street in daylight?
Your response will tell me if you are just a little bit or big sellout to Political correctness.

Assuming the Wikipedia definition of 3rd degree murder in Minnesota is correct it states. "without intent to effect the death of any person, caus[ing] the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life”
I believe that is a pretty spot on definition of what it looks like occurred. Wouldn’t you agree? So to answer your question, yes I do believe the cop murdered this guy, not on purpose, but I believe the situation meets the definition for 3rd degree murder which is what the cop was charged with.

“The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death,” so the officer driving Floyd’s neck in to the ground with his knee while he was handcuffed definitely played a role in his death. Got it.

Originally posted by mwk128 View PostAlso to address the medical examiner comment, it not that I don’t believe it, I certainly do. It’s Just so crazy that a man’s heart condition flared up when he had 3 grown me sitting on him while his hands were cuffed behind his back and he was saying that he couldn’t breathe. What a coincidence.
It may have no bearing on GF's situation but if he knew he had those issues may e he was on medication that influenced the stress he was under.
I'd say we wait for all the evidence and not just a preliminary report.
