So do I. The maximum time allowed by law won't make up for what they did but it's right. Moreover, a thorough investigation of every police officer's record in this country needs to be reviewed. It will take time to do it but weeding out bad cops will help to resolve some of the problem. There are so many good officers out there but they get lumped into the whole basket of bad ones.

He was arrested because he was trying to cash a forged check, a common criminal.

So why didn't they just take him to jail instead of kill him while he was handcuffed and on the ground?

There was nothing to indicate Floyd knew the bill was counterfeit.

Many people including myself have had counterfeit bills without knowing about it.

His explanations get very detailed, and there's some unavoidable medical terminology that he has to explain, but if you keep with him to the end, you'll have a thorough understanding...and you'll be better able to see through the media and political spin.

Really difficult to watch, but thank you for posting it, Ralph.

Like I asked initially - if he's handcuffed and put in the back seat would he have died? Nope.

There was no pulse, the guy who checked it probably stated that, and yet the knee remained and nobody batted an eye. In fact, the EMT's dragged him on the pavement instead of lifting him up.

I think this is the most egregious case of police brutality and murder that I've ever seen.

What a lousy attempt to try and justify Floyd's murder.

So what? He's a human being. Cops do NOT get to play judge and jury.
