Worthless POS glorified by culture and the media
Just like all the other worthless pieces of garbage who were glorified.
shareSo imagine the same thing happened to an outstanding citizen, someone who had mistakenly been thought of as committing a crime and suffered the same fate. What would be your attitude in that circumstance? You couldn't dismiss the dead as a "worthless POS" in that case. Reflect on that sometime.
For me it's about whether or not the officer was right or wrong in their actions. Focusing on that aspect, it becomes inconsequential who was under the knee.
It does matter who was under the knee, considering he consumed an extreme dose of an illegal drug, resisted arrest, and was saying "I can't breathe" before even being put onto the ground. Your theoretical upstanding citizen wouldn't be.
shareNo, I suppose my theoretical upstanding citizen wouldn't be under the influence of an illegal drug. But they could suffer from asthma and have an asthma attack during the arrest.
From what I understand, you are arguing that the officers procedure was correct, it only led to a death because the suspect was compromised from drug use and not the officers actions. My concern is that the officers actions were unneeded and excessive for a man already subdued. Had the knee not remained on the neck the suspect would have lived.
As for your other point, that he resisted arrest, is a non starter. The discussion isn't why he was being arrested, but how he was being arrested. More to the point, how the arrest continued well after the suspect was under complete submission.
You're wasting your time trying to reason with these white supremacist. They see a black man that had run-ins with the law and did drugs, so he deserves to die by the police.
shareTo you, everyone that is not agreeing with your low IQ rhetoric is a white supremacist. It really shows how dumb you are.
You need to be the victim of one of these saints you love so much .... it would be sweet poetic justice 🙏

Considering his lifestyle before and leading up to his death he would have ended up dying anyway by his own hand, someone else, or killing someone.
Good riddance to a heap of shit.
