There's an extremely small difference in personalities between those that join the police and those that join the ranks of violent criminals.
I didn't watch, but I heard about it. We are a country of laws, so this needs to go through the legal system, but there's some serious soul searching that needs to be done about police recruitment and training.
Whoa whoa whoa
Can we wait for details to come out? The end result definitely should not have happened, but it doesn’t mean that mr Floyd didn’t escalate it. Maybe the officers life was in danger 30 seconds before? In that case it would be understandable ( but not necessarily right) that he wouldn’t wanna to let up at all, as from the few seconds that I watched it seems like the officer was much smaller
But I don’t know any details and I assume that the officer is wrong and deserves to be fired
But that doesn’t mean that we need to overhaul the entire system, it means there are some bad apples
i think posts like yours are what causes water to be thrown at the police, the mentality that the police is out to get certain people is disastrous and makes the situation a million times worse
