But keep up with the fake outrage.
I don’t think any of the outrage is fake. If you don’t find this situation outrageous, I think you’re a sociopath. Do you have no empathy?

And this was for an unsubstantiated traffic stop as reported by the chief of police.

if he had just complied
The people supporting the police, even just a little, in this episode obviously want a full on police state.
The guy had done nothing wrong, per the police chief, yet immediately had guns drawn on him and was ripped out of his car.
All the bootlickers here would be fearing for their life as well if put in the same situation.

complete wrong approach was taken from the beginning, “defund the police”.
Defund the police is such a dumb saying, reform the police would work much better and is the goal of most people who want actual change. The social worker thing isn’t about having these workers go into gang hideouts, it’s about aiding the police in dealing with mentally unstable people especially those that are suicidal or are threats to themselves or others. Police can only do so much and blazing in guns drawn isn’t helping with the mentally unstable

Well you've just pissed off half the people on your side of this argument
I’m not on a team.
I think George Floyd died of cardiac arrest from drugs and an enlarged heart. He was also a criminal who knew he was in trouble and didn’t want to go to jail. Every situation is different.
This incident was clearly murder. Hearing and watching the police as they violated every protocol from the beginning was not surprising to me after we have run all the good cops off the force.
These cops were hand picked by the black female mayor to be the special unit that brought peace to the streets.
Think about that for a second.

Half the bootlickers would have run too.

No, it will condition cops not to beat people to death even if they run.
What is the proper amount of force to use?
It is a brutal world out there regardless if y'all want to believe it or not. At some point we are going to devolve to charging a cop for murder if a dude falls over from a heart attack running from them.
Excessive force? Absolutely. Murder? That is reaching and WILL conditiion cops to let guys run or "can't find them".
Ideal police force for some of y'all:

Democrats always change their story when their social utopian plans don’t pan out.
You are telling me we misunderstood “defund the police” and it actually meant “provide more funding to police”
get the frick outta here

Yes because if you actually took time to hear people out you’d realize that was the plan for the majority all along but of course you won’t do that because you instantly make up your mind because tribalism. Although defund the police isn’t the best way of describing it

We should have INCREASED the number of police in inner cities and doubled the pay while also raising the standards and training. How about use the $40 billion we sent to Ukraine as a start.
Defund the police was/is terrible marketing, and seemed mostly aimless and emotion based, but just throwing bodies and money and implementing new “sensitivity” or “active shooter” training hasn’t solved the issue to this point either.
As an example, the Uvalde police department and the surrounding city comprised nearly 40% of the city budget on top of separate general funds to fund a school district specific department too, the department was also the recipient of state level injections of cash to further beef up departments, they were a part of federal programs that got military hardware to local departments, and they had just completed active shooter training that year.
And we all saw what happened….
I’m not against more funding, better salaries, as retention is a real issue, but there needs to be major structural changes to a lot of departments across the country and just more bodies, more “training” and more money hasn’t solved it so far.

If you and five of your buddies hold a guy down while kicking him in the head causing his death you'll be charged with murder.

One thing I’d like to see is better standards for hiring across all departments. If you’re going to have low standards for hiring then you’ll get shitty people and dumb cops. I know some dude who was dumb as hell but became a local county cop, not sure what he’s been up to but I do know there’s zero way a dude like that should be entrusted with that kind of power and responsibility

Not sure what this guy did, if anything, but this is going to start conditioning cops to just shrug their shoulders when suspects run.
If a cop can only imagine letting someone escape or killing them, they probably shouldn't be a cop and might need to consider full time care to make sure they wipe their arse, eat, breathe, etc.

Some of you can't stand near unanimous agreement on an issue. You have to make sure to be extra dumb just to be different or whatever the fricking motivation is for you lot. I fricking hate agreeing with people who inevitably go full retard if given enough time.

The plan to defund the police turned out to be a massive fail so now the story changed. How convenient
Reminds of something else

So the police chief said there was no reckless driving?
