Do you deny what I said is true? That if Floyd hadn't been on drugs and hadn't resisted arrest that he would not have died? Are you honestly saying that is not true?

you, like many on here, and no doubt in your country, are going about this completely wrong. More to the point is, when Floyd was on the ground and in hand cuffs, and surrounded by other police officers, was he a real and present threat to any of these officers, or anyone else? If yes, then there are many other ways to restrain him. If no, then WHAT is the purpose in an officer placing his knee on his neck, when it is clear that almost anyone would pass out or die from this action? This is NOT a black and white issue, but right and wrong!

Floyd was saying he couldnt breathe while he was standing up right and prior to being restrained by LE.

There was no legitimate reason to be leaning on his kneck and it was certainly contrary to use of force.

I have not seen any evidence that being on his kneck contributed to his death.

Did not Floyd say that he could not breathe?

"Cities Will Be on Fire" - Black Lives Matter Activist Warns "All Hell Will Break Loose" If Officer Chauvin Is Not Convicted in George Floyd Death
BLM activist says 'all hell is going to break loose' if Chauvin not convicted, and the 'cities will burn'

She should know... about fire and hell. Running with the devil.

They have been burning cities for over a year. Until LE are allowed to use appropriate force to stop the rioting and arrest these folks and prosecutors agree to prosecute, it will continue.

peace to you

They sure are not Christ like. 'No justice, no peace', is a lie, there is no peace for the wicked.
Justice for them means their destruction, even from the government of men, Romans 13. We live in strange times among a perverse and evil generation.
There will be no escape from destruction for these people. Heaven's justice demands their destruction, unless God shows them mercy to save them, making them born of God.

Are we called to be like the wicked?

1. water cannons
2. rubber bullets
3. real bullets

nothing else works as I have seen here in the UK!

I didn’t think LE in the UK had real bullets or guns. Don’t they just throw rubber bullets and use somewhat harsh language?

“I say, good sir, do not throw the fire bomb. In the name of the Queen, return to your flats!”

Something like that.

peace to you
