They are more experienced with shot /don't shoot than any civilian. They also a know a real threat from a non threat. Combat teaches things like that. I take it you have never served.

Some might have PTSD.
So might some civilian LEO. Plenty of just plain old civilians on the street have it.
the increased rate of killings by cops says otherwise,,,but like I said the biggest problem is the laws controlling peoples personal lives,,ie war on drugs,,
anyways I dont want a police force like that even if you do,,,
Isn't this just trying to rehash a dead narrative from our forum's own triggered and lifeless psyche patient? Who cares if he had drugs in his system? You think that excuses the cop? Even if the person didn't happen to die the cop's badge needed to be toast and he needed to be severely sentenced. A non-cop doing this would be charged with assault and attempted murder if the victim lived. If they died the person may well be put on death row.
I would like to see your documentation for that. FBI says the complete opposite. As far as laws? LEO does not make the laws. They are tasked with enforcing them. I am sure you know that. If you have a problem with all the laws in this country, elect the right politicians to change them instead of making more.
This is why we have courts. Not mob justice.
I do try and elect the right politicians ,,
but the fucking dems and repubes keep winning and fucking things up for everybody,,,
so the real problem is the low life fucks that vote for them,,,

How’s this?
Let’s keep the cops but swap out for a society that isn’t jacked up as this one.
I will agree with that wholeheartedly.
youre talking about nuclear annihilation,,,

I have my doubts that Floyd would be alive today with or without the cops.
If Floyd was symptomatic with COVID *and on Fentanyl* all ganging up on his weak heart—he may have died sitting in the squad car. In fact, the autopsy concluded he died of cardiopulmonary failure.
To say the prosecutions case is weak is an understatement. They need to either aim low or risk having Chauvin walk.
And while I’m on the subject, this thing has been a epic travesty. All of this rioting, unrest, racial division and tearing the country apart goes back to a situation where a man was simply in the process of dying and the cops failed to recognize it and act appropriately.
We don’t have a cop problem. We have another kind of problem altogether.
Had they called EMT earlier, he might have lived.
I agree. Cops should have called an ambulance while he and the cops were all standing around when he stated he was having trouble
breathing and was (according to the store owner) sweating profusely. Two of quite a few signs of possible heart attack in progress.

Well, maybe lol.
Cop gets thrown in the slammer for that? If you read the transcript you can see that Floyd was in a bad way: could barely walk, having trouble breathing—even said ‘I’m gonna die’ at one point. Medical people *really* don’t like to hear people say that.
Cops talked back and forth on how to handle him. There wasn’t one ounce of ill intent in any of their communications. Put simply, they mishandled the situation by not recognizing that Floyd was in distress.
Floyd requires restraining at some point, probably while trying to get him into the cruiser; Chauvin uses *the approved* knee restraint; Floyd’s heart gives out with Chauvin’s knee on his neck.
What’s the charge? You tell me.
Maybe at least negligent. Unless they can prove they were unaware of his distress, which I find it hard to believe because from the video, it was OBVIOUS he was in distress.

I’ll play defense attorney lol.
My client assumed Floyd was on opiates and out of his head. He was totally unaware of Floyd’s medical history. Mr Chauvin assumed Mr Floyd passed out from being under the influence but continued with the knee restraint in case he revived and became unmanageable.
An ambulance was called.
Prosecutor: "Officer Chauvin told Mr. Floyd to get up and get in the cruiser while kneeling on him."
Jury: "Like bruh?"
Getting fucked up by cops is a bit tough pressurewise. He knew cops like killing blacks. They killed him. I suspect having your air cut off for 9 minutes might be tough for continuing life.
Saying his heart gave out while he was being smothered is pure speculation based of right-wing excuse makers. Chauvin killed him. It is just that easy.
