What would your position be if he had a mental impairment/learning difficulties, and the police ( due to his size) restrained him and he died in exactly the same way.

What would be your view of the polices’ actions?
I do not think anyone has condoned the Police actions in this thread. Some have just put across the maybe George Floyd was not a totally innocent victim

Got it!
If you've made that up to what I've said, then that's your problem. Just to be clear, I've not once said that.

And nobody, in a civilised society should be a criminal.
The police have a legal duty of care and responsibility to those who they detain and are in their custody the fact you don’t think those rights extend to those with previous convictions is neither here nor there

But that is irrelevant, because many, many people that are totally innocent may find themselves in the temporary care of the police and the police must treat everyone in their care the same.

He may have been whatever he was, but as I say earlier if it was a case of mistaken identity and he was completely innocent, why would that in any way be a material difference in what happened?

Did I say that?

Or did I say he got to where he is now due to his own lifestyle choices.

Seems pretty close and that is what you said are two completely different things, so I would kindly ask you withdraw your comment.

If he’d overdosed I may agree with that statement, but he was killed by a 3rd party with duty not to kill him.

So that doesn’t fly, at all.

Yes, you did say exactly that.

Had the hennepin police exercised their legal responsibilities he would still be alive and that’s all there is to it.

But is was not a case of mistaken identity was it? Also from what I can find out it is unknown if the cops knew his rap sheet so there is a chance they knew he could be a risk. It is all conjecture. No he should not have died but also no he should not have been a criminal

It does fly, he put himself in that position due to his lifestyle choices.

So you like putting words into people's mouth and when told it was incorrect, you don't care and carry on regardless.

Yes, yes you did. he would be alive because regardless of if he was a criminal or not he is entitled to be provided with the legally required care whilst being detained. Funnily enough this does not include being murdered

Your focus is wrong

No I never, please stop putting words into my mouth that I have not said.

If he wasn't a criminal, he wouldn't of needed the care of the Police that day, his lifestyle choice put him in that position in the first instance.

My focus is what I want my focus to be. He was a criminal and put himself in the position he was in. Had he not been a criminal in the first instance, we wouldn't be here talking about it.

I understand you point of personal responsibility, but it is irrelevant in this case, as he was detained and in the care of some one else.

If someone had a bad lifestyle and bad choices, a drug addict, wife beater, serial criminal and he ended up in hospital due to complications with his drug use.

He would have been fine, just needed 48hrs in hospital and he would have walked out, he may have got clean and gone on to be a good citizen but the doctor made an error he should been able to avoid as a professional and as someone that is trusted to care for.

He administered a lethal dose of anaesthetic and killed him.

Should that doctor be prosecuted?

Re: The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM
 
So what type of criminal record do you guys think justifies not coming home again? Just wondering what crimes put you in the don't deserve to live category?
