Trump defends the cops who shoved that 75 year old man down to the pavement

Not saying it's right, but at least it helps to understand how this escalated.

Police operate on a protocol known as totality of circumstances. They were already there in a large group, wearing riot gear, because they were expecting civil unrest.

If someone walks up in their personal space, start saving their hands around their weapons, they're liable to have force used on them.

I don't like that he got hurt, but he made a poor judgement call. It would have been better to approach them at a safe distance and just say what he needed to say.

I punched a guy in the face at the grocery store yesterday.
He shouldn't have approached me like that

I wonder what story the cops would have spun about George Floyd's death had there not been video to show what really happened.

I am not a fan of all the surveillance and yet those who abuse their power need to be held accountable. Video footage helps.

There are two sides to everything even if you see what's going on sometimes we don't know 100% what are we looking at. Restraining him was necessary, because in his condition, if he were not restrained, he would have died faster. And you can also see on video that he drops a bag with drugs out of his hand when he's sat down. What the public is generally not told, is that he was in a deadly delirium from mixing meth and fentanyl. I don't think they paid enough attention to his condition though, or gave enough medical assistance, I was appalled that they would not check his pulse.

I believe the cops were negligent and had a hand in his death at least. That being said, why are we not hearing this:

Minneapolis Disaster: Fentanyl, Methamphetamine & Excited Delirium
Michael Baden Did Not Perform Autopsy But You Are Being Told He Did
George Floyd Autopsy Shows No Trauma

Have you seen the Candace Owens video where she exposes Floyds police/arrest record ? He's a criminal, not a hero ..

And Trump is shoving himself out of the White House😁.

I found the way he was laid out in an open casket and revered 'by all' to be disturbing. He should have been in the ground days ago, instead it is as though he is laid out in state.

As for Trump, he has survived many lies about him so far and I pray that continues. The other choice is the devil's agenda and if someone thinks Trump is this or that, have a chat with God about it.

As for me, I am thankful Clinton didn't win.

You're not a police officer walking toward a potential riot.

Satan would probably be a better president than Trump

I am aware. They are trying to make him into Jesus, you hear things like "everywhere he went crowds of people followed him"... He had something like 9 arrests, a very long criminal history, he abandoned his 5yr old son, and he beat up a pregnant woman to rob her, pointing a gun into her belly... I understand the family, the family is hurt and for them he will always be an angel, that's to be expected for them to be biased, but why is everyone going along and why is the death of David Dorn and other black people who were murdered by rioters ignored.
Just because Floyd was a criminal doesn't mean he deserved less justice, justice is the same for all. But it is really annoying how they worship him (yet ignore more deserving black individuals), and how the protests killed and harmed so many people, a lot more than the police.

In full riot gear vs an unarmed 75 yr old man

Yes, and the woman who he and 4 others ''home invaded'' at gunpoint along with all the repeated drug charges tells me he should have still been in prison , to save his own life .. He was asking for death sooner or later and the cop didn't kill him by murder ..

I don't for one minute believe that half or more of the good folks 'protesting' are actually there for Mr Floyd.

Kindly note that does not mean I approve of his death or condone the police who are out of line. My biggest question in all of it, is how could an officer have 18 complaints against him and continue to operate with apparent immunity.

There is more to this story that meets the eye and waaaaaay too much emotionalism and lack of people interested in the actual story.

Trump is a complete idiot..

I think he WAS a very bad criminal.

But unless I’m mistaken, he appeared to be on somewhat a decent path, and I think he was a genuine believer. At least in the past 5 years.
I understand he tried to pass a phoney bill, but we all stumble as Christians.

But you are absolutely right about the black police officer. He should be held up with honor, not Mr Floyd.

Very true. People just want that black and white situation (pun not intended), where only one side is 100% guilty and another is 100% innocent and just shifting blame.

Well that's not how things work in life... The dude overdosing with drugs was in the wrong, brought himself to the situation, and he paid with his life. The cop was also in the wrong, was negligent if not outright brutal, and he will pay also with his life, albeit in a different way, when proper punishment is determined.
