It has a great deal of grace, love, and genuine concern along with a lot of frustration we can only begin to understand and anger born of that. Hate? I've seen it and I understand it didn't simply spring up on its own for no particular reason. I also see whites and blacks marching together by the thousands. You don't get there and that if your message is the message you're reading. Maybe you should take that illustration and ponder it a bit more.
I would approve of Trump declaring martial law and sending in military troops with fixed bayonets and live ammo - kill every single one of those cowards
Cop Involved in George Floyd’s Death Claims He Intentionally ‘Overdosed’ to Avoid Arrest - https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-min...-case?ref=home
So that's what happened then. George Floyd did not die at the hands of the police. He died of a self-inflicted drug overdose.
If the cop realized this, why weren't appropriate measures taken?

They asked him repeatedly if he had taken anything, if he was on anything. Repeatedly, he denied it.
What "appropriate measures" did you have in mind?
Yet, they knew the answer.
Not trained as a police officer though, given the knowledge (supra) I'm sure it's not leaning on the guy's neck.
That he ODed to avoid arrest.At the time of the arrest?
What "answer" did they know at the time of the arrest?
Call EMT....prior to dying.How else are you supposed to restrain a 6' 4 muscular 220 pound man who is resisting arrest? Should they have tazed him? Should they have beaten him unconscious with billy clubs? Should they have shot him?
Or perhaps they should have done what i-durrr has been suggesting all along - just let him go.

They did not know that at the time of the arrest. It's obvious now in retrospect.
Floyd was apparently going around town and passing off counterfeit money to pay for his legit expenses while using his real cash to feed his drug habit. You don't want to try paying your hood drug dealer with counterfeit money, because if you do and he figures it out, he'll put a few bullet holes in you.
Than how does he know it was intentional?
