LINK
(Edit this is from the link not my opinion)
Bodycam footage from two cops accused in the murder of George Floyd is revealed. it shows a rookie officer terrifying Floyd by pointing a handgun at his head and another callously picking a pebble from the squad car tire just inches from the dying man and seconds before he draws his last breath. The tapes show in minute detail how a very distressed Floyd begs 'Mr. Officer, please don't shoot me. Please man,' before the struggle that ended with his death on May 25. It also shows how belligerent cops cursed at and manhandled the sobbing suspect, ignoring his pleas for compassion.

Everything you typed only tells me a couple of officers massively fricked up and deserved to be punished for it.

Instead the entire country coast to coast is being punished for it. Ridiculous.

Dude had about 100 chances to cooperate and couldn't breathe before going to the ground.

This is our "hero" folks

Almost sounds like he had a panic attack around the end and freaked out.

Is this your opinion of what happened or you quoting someone.

If it is your opinion, you are a fricking moron. The cops could not have been more calm and by the book. Dude was high on drugs that led to his death.

That is a simplistic view of things, there are some real issues in training and tactics that need to be resolved.

He had 4000 chances and resisted the entire time. Being cracked out of his mind and terrrible at follwing directions is what got him killed.

That's because he wouldn't comply or follow instructions from the very first second of contact with the officers.

You just made my point. WHY should there ever be a struggle???? WHY??

Just think if he would have not resisted..he'd be drinking a beer and chillin with his friends right now.

He tested positive for covid-19 which contributed to his inability to breathe

Which points to a much bigger issue in America.

One thing is clear from that:
He was doing a whole lot of screaming, yelling, and talking for a man who couldn't breathe.

Nah. If there was any real justice in this country, Floyd would be safe and sound and alive in prison right now. He had no business being out of prison. Period.
