[QUOTE="carrdogg, post: 1497094, member: 21094"] Mate have you seen the police bodycam footage? George Floyd was HUGE. His behaviour was erratic; the man was clearly on drugs at the time of his apprehension. Not to mention he was effectively resisting arrest. Even when all four cops were trying to subdue him, it was still a struggle. He wasn't really complying with their requests, after being identified as the perpetrator of a crime. The cops couldn't get him into the back of their car. Unless you think the cops should have let him go, the man clearly needed to be apprehended. I will concede that the knee on neck is inhumane. However, to my knowledge this doesn't kill people. The drugs in his system (especially fentanyl) definitely played a larger part in his death than the knee hold. If you support Chauvin being imprisoned, you're essentially supporting the BLM/Antifa/commie etc. narrative. I know it sucks that there isn't any room for nuance in debates surrounding these topics, but unfortunately that's how political discourse is right now. [/QUOTE]
