Last thing I read on it was that the police officers involved had been sacked.
Have they been charged? A brutal disregard for life. RIP fella. |

WTF is wrong with that country that there is any doubt or delay that that cop straight out killed him? I cannot understand how it's possible that that cop who killed him isn't sitting in a cell at the moment.
He was handcuffed face down with two people on his back, and he kneeled for 5 minutes on his neck until, surprise surprise he died. As an internet meme said yesterday, and it's true : This guy is killed in yet another example of US police brutality, arguably murdered or at the very least the cop didn't give a **** if he lived, but the utter shitbag who killed 9 black people in a church 5 years ago was given a burgerking and fries by the cops as he was "hungry". |

This is probably why
Speaking to US media on Tuesday, Chief Arradondo said the force's policies "regarding placing someone under control" will be reviewed as part of the probe. According to the Associated Press news agency, Minneapolis police officers are allowed under the department's use-of-force policy to kneel on a suspect's neck as long as they do not obstruct the airway. |

Must take some expertise to kneel in someone's neck with your full bodyweight without obstructing the airways.
|

By:
WTF did they just not put him in the vehicle?????
|
|
By:
I do not understand how a kneel on a neck is ok, it is much worse than hands around a throat.
The arrested was already under control unless i missed some video from the arrest. |
|
By:
Well if true its got to be one of the most dangerous restraining techniques out there
|

By:
So institutionalised ****wits.

By:
It's not just airways, there are very major very important blood vessels in your neck and if you cut off the blood flow long enough you can cause brain damage or death. It's ludicrous that short of absolute life or death neccessity it's at all allowed.
He was unarmed and charged with a white collar crime ffs. |

That they did in broad daylight in front of am audience was jaw dropping.

Dreadful what happened to the Chap and Lets hope The officer is dealt with
Mr floyd was probably facing 15 to life if convicted, due to his previous convictions Which included an armed home invasion where a woman had gun stuck in her stomach , was part of a 5 man team who stormed the house .. Also Some previous drug and theft convictions ...............They would have thrown away the Key Apparently after 7 years he was trying to turn his life around , if that was the case why was he passing dodgy money ?? Might be a little bit more than meets the eye here perhaps a previous run in with these officers ....... Never the less , a dreadful end and the Copper involved has previous .. |

The cashier in the Shop knew the bill was a wrong un , but faced with the 6' foot 5 " Mr floyd decided to act(rang the police) as he was leaving the Shop
rather than confront him ,hardly suprising tbh ... The word is was having financial problems due to CO-VID and was out passing dodgy bills ............ |
|
By:
He had done a plea Deal on the Armed home Invasion , so had deffo played all his cards ,would have been a long sentence ......
According to his Fried Mr Harris Mr Floys was a good all round guy ... |

SS - sadly, that's so true.
I'm not aware of the man's innocence or guilt yet but that's absolutely nothing to do with what went on - that was a disgusting over-reaction and that bástard should be sitting in a cell right now...facing a murder charge! These American police are genuinely psychopathic! |

The copper should hunted and strung up not sitting in a prison cell
Go after the cant that shot him? isn't that the simple thing to do? Its high time people realised the simplicity of something, it wasn't the "whites" that did it, it was one complete piece of scum that needs a facking hanging for murder |

The stupidity of the mob never ceases to amaze me. They burn their own shops and communities down. At least in France they shut The Champs Elysees at weekend for months causing major aggro to the lives of the rich.
The authorities have had to put a guard around the house of the scum cop who killed Floyd. The cop and his family probably aren’t there but it is good to know he is living in fear for his life and maybe he will know how Floyd felt before he died. If I was one of that underclass I think I would burn down big malls and attack police cars with rocks whenever there was a good opportunity. I would want the cops to live in fear of their lives not only when they were in uniform but when they went home because people knew a cop lived in the property. I think in Hong Kong the Police have to be barracked together for their own safety. Hong Kong people will have to face down the might of the State soon. They will have to be a lot smarter than the looters in Minneapolis. If you loot your own you are as much a scum as the murderous cop. The other thing I do not understand is how they just stood their and watched a man be murdered in front of them. Nobody even threw a rock. The cops felt omnipotent and should have been challenged with force if necessary |

To be fair to Trump he just said these were very good people and the authorities should sit down and listen to them.

His death was awful and totally unjustified and the 4 officers have been sacked, but if it was in their restraint procedures that you're allowed to kneel on someones neck for so long, then really they are just the sacrificial lambs in this.
Totally agree that some of the police are indeed racist but don't think these rioting thugs do their cause any favours with their actions last few days. Same as the riots in Britain years ago, one man killed by police(a well known drug dealer and gangster), and everyone comes out to burn and loot every shop down, even people who never knew him or anything about him. Ended up as just an excuse to help themselves to anyone elses property. |
|
By:
Hardly sacrificial lambs! More like murdering thugs with a badge. Why did the man need restraining? He was in hand cuffs and was pleading for his life. It does not take the wisdom of Solomon to see the need to take your knee and 15 stone of body weigh. If the scum does not get justice in the court I sincerely hope he gets justice outside it, natural justice.
As a matter of interest does anybody know if the Cops get tested for drugs? I would imagine half of them are on steroids and the other half on burgers. I really think steroid abuse could be part of the reason for over aggressive behaviour by many of these policemen, not just the racist cops. |

There was a clip yesterday of a kid down on a lawn surrounded by approx 8 cops with their guns on him. He'd run a stop sign but the kid was clearly terrified, unarmed and complying but the cops just stood off aiming their guns. What level of racism and cowardice is involved here that you can't just plainly see he's complying and you carefully approach and put him in handcuffs and move on. It was almost like they were desperate for him to twitch and give them an excuse.

i am sure i heard on news that the cop had form for being a bit rough and that he had a fair few complaints against him

Was a Bouncer at a Local Club at some stage Before CO-VID as I stated there will be more to this than meets the eye,the police must have known him ,Never the less the
man was Subdued and should have been cuffed and put in car .......... On the Home invasion front apparently they turned up pretending to be water board people ,when refused access the door was smashed in and the woman resident was decked and had a gun stuck in her stomach , apparently the robbers were looking for money and drugs ..... Regarding the Locals smashing the town up , there have been many white people Killed in suspicious circumstances by the police I have yet to hear of one leading to a Riot ... |
|
By:
Yes GAZO the fact the attack was carried out in full view in broad daylight, would Suggest the Officer either didnt care or is mentally ill .

whats worse is the Local prosecuter appears to think the force used is acceptable

CNN correspondent got arrested for not standing where the cops told him to stand!
Interesting that in the of the free and the home of the brave a civil servant can tell you what to do and arrest or kill you if he feels like it. I wonder at times what the laws are here. I remember as a kid that by law we did not have to give the Police our name and address. I am not sure if that has changed. I don't know if a policeman tells you to stand over there if you have to comply. If a policeman tells you to stop do you have to stop? I was under the impression they police by consent and did not have many more powers than an ordinary civilian. Case give it up man. The dirty pig murdered him. |

Difference is WD, that the Police here police by the consent of the nation, in the USA they are Law Enforcers, which is somewhat different.

County attorney says there's evidence in George Floyd case that 'does not support a criminal charge'
In a news conference on Thursday, Hennepin County Attorney, Mike Freeman, said that despite the horrific video of George Floyd’s death, “there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge” against the police officer involved. Attorney Freeman is investigating the death of Floyd, a Black man who died when he was pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer. His office later issued a clarification, saying “it is critical to review all the evidence” to adequately prepare for trial. |

Where have I defending the Police officer please ??
Big George certainly no angel but deserved Justice like anyone else ,if he was convicted he faced a Life sentance Due to previous . I am only stating what is fact , and agree there are no circumstances where the man should have been killed when subdued . |

A dirty copper gets done and a scumbag (save your sympathy and rip) shuffles off this mortal coil.
Good news. Shame he couldn't be a white man then everyone would've been happy |
