At best George Floyd's death was accidentally caused by that officer in a situation that didn't allow him much off options. In reality George Floyd probably died because he was a drug addict and had trouble breathing cuz he had taken a bunch of drugs.
I agree. Floyd became violent. He was a big man on drugs. He didn't want to be restrained and fought with all his strength not to be. What were the police supposed to do? Did this one cop use more force than needed on Floyd's neck? Yes. That was a mistake. But did he mean to kill Floyd? No. The sentence is much too harsh for the crime. The cop should have been given a sentence of one year, max.
Kneeling on someone's neck from the side does NOT cut off their air. Nigger already couldn't breathe when cops rolled up on him.
