Citation needed. George Floyd was a man doped up on Fentanyl and Meth and made the autistic mistake of buying a banana with a fake $20 bill and got caught. It's not the cop's fault that Floyd was acting erratically. If Floyd wasn't acting erratic, then help might have arrived a hell of a lot sooner and he might have lived.

You don't get it, Chauvin should had used his empathy telepathy to figure out Floyd was about to die and should had just removed the hand-cuffs and let him go free

Hot take: George Floyd was a shitty person, but the cops at the very least contributed to his death. These things aren't mutually exclusive.

"Contributing" to somebody's death is legally and ethically meaningless. McDonalds cashiers "contribute" to the death of fat fucks every day.

It's hilarious watching the goalposts move by the second.

Were there any live streams today that had a chat? The Sun didn't stream it seems. I want to archive the chat to see what folks were saying in real time.

The Sun *had* it but took it down sometime around noon central time I believe. No idea if there is a way to see what had been said on it before that though. I can tell you offhand there were a lot of Sneed memes.

Don't think so, Washington Post and ABC also had no chat. Doesn't surprise me honestly, I reckon they're (rightfully) afraid that the chat will devolve into shitflinging or get spammed by the basket weavers.

fentanyl has been put in fake percocet for almost 10 years now as far as I know. Its cheap and effective people OD on it constantly. Any druggie will tell you this.

Oh yeah, people who worked EMS can always tell when a new shipment of drugs came in because all of a fucking sudden there would be 14 heroin OD's and sure enough it would be cut with fent because its generally cheaper.

He was going to die anyway, if it was not the cops it would probably be another poor person, or in his house, or in the streets, the only problem on this case is that unfortunately a white man got the shitcake, if the cop was black this thread would not even be here

It would probably still be a police brutality thing, except this time without the 'hyper-racist neo-nazi police officer' angle. But yeah, I agree, this thread wouldn't be here, and the rioting probably wouldn't happen.

News broadcasts are normally passive media, too. A good number of public service news stations now broadcast on Youtube as well, and it's only a small number that allow live chat.

Any major news agency would be stupid to have a stream with chat for something like this. They've learned from experience how that goes down long ago.

The situation is ridiculous

A black men: a terrible incident where a brave black person was doing his duty and a incident like this could not be avoided anyway, thoughts and prayers

A white men: A FUCKING NEO NAZI CHUD TRUMP SUPPORTER KILLED A INNOCENT BLACK MAN OF PEACE IN COLD BLOOD BECAUSE HE WAS A TURBO RACIST KKK THIS IS WHAT TRUMP HAS LEFT US

Even Latin-Americans that don't understand to well american politics are not buying this and even commies are feeling to smug now because every ridiculous thing they said america was going to become is happening

Even Communists

More like 'A man who overdosed on narcotics two months ago died of an overdose, while being arrested by officer Jaquan Travious for using forged money and resisting arrest'
