[QUOTE="Lokmar, post: 250335, member: 1169"] Its all good. There's plenty of room for disagreement between REASONABLE people. My problem is with hackwits who insist that this cop just randomly decided to kill this dude just because he was black. My honest opinion is ALL the cops got pissed by all the resistance floyd gave when they were trying putting him in the car. Floyd was screaming "I can breathe" while upright and they formed the judgment that this was just another asshole hamming it up for the cameras. They got sick of his, what they thought at the time was, "shit" and decided to pin him on the ground. I also think they bought into this idea that floyd was hamming it up so blindly, that they became obstinate to the signs that floyd was actually having a medical emergency. I think that was further egged on by this dumb ass cops desire to defy the crowd. At one point, a cop says, "he must be on something". Obviously they should have thought more of their own comment. One cop said "I think he's passing out". That same cop asked more than once if they should roll him on his side. He should have done more too, especially because he recognized there was a problem. Somehwere between 15 and 17 minutes on this video, there was no excuse to continue to pin floyd down. 3rd degree murder doesnt sound unreasonable. [/QUOTE]
