Yes they were. And that is the anger you are seeing right now. People have reached "it's too late" mode. People have reached "war" mode. I'm trying to get people to understand what we're dealing with. Unless some changes happen, this will happen again.

That cop is a sociopath. He had no problem killing this man with the whole world watching.
His sorry cop friends that helped and watched him also.
They all need to be locked up.

That is what I thought too, but many news outlets are reporting that the officer and Floyd worked together and new each other. So if this is true there is more to this story.

Well, good for him for keeping the video rolling.

It's more like "ignorant temper tantrum" mode. You give the mindless animals that are the looters and rioters far too much credit.

Oh I’m sure they knew each other. I was just mentioning that because it probably wasn’t for 17 years. But it is weird that they worked together. It does lead one to wonder if there was something else going on, either a feud or just dislike.

As it should. Until it changes.
