"police brutality is fine as long as it's done to people of all races"- conservatives probably

George Floyd died of fentanyl overdose.

sure, he may have partly died due to that, but he also died due to the fact that someone literally had a foot on his neck.

I don't think anyone is saying it was ok for a law enforcement officer to have his knee on his neck for 8 minutes, but truth is truth. He died of a fenanyl overdose.

sure, but the cop had to be partly involved.

Why? Fentanyl overdose has killed people before without police involvement. Why did the cop “have to” be involved?

he literally had his knee on his neck, wouldn't that choke him?

Which part of “used 200 times over several years resulting in zero deaths” are you too stupid to understand?

can you please give me proof that that's happened?

How can I prove something *hasn’t* happened? Explain that to me.

Yes, and cotton candy *could* kill someone, I suppose. But if cotton candy never has killed anyone, and for instance, the dead man also has a knife sticking out from between his ribs, which *has* killed people, why would you suspect the cotton candy in his hand?

Brown Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. That neck restraint had never killed anyone before. The only reason you are trying to blame the neck restraint is because of your religious dogma of hating white people. I am not a part of your death cult. I am uninterested in its dogma. F--k you.

Foot? You got the body part wrong.

That restraint has been used for years. It was used over 200 times in that area and killed zero people. Fentanyl, on the other hand, that’s killed many people.

proof?

Proof of what? You can’t prove a negative. Show me the earlier case where this restraint killed someone.

There are second, third and fourth times too.

And which of those are *this* restraint? I wasn't asking about restraints in general. That is 200 pages. Which page talks about the restraint which was applied to the fentanyl-overdosing violent criminal Floyd?

Okay, if I said, "This medicine Kostanyl is perfectly safe. There is no record of killing anyone in the decade of its use" and you replied, "Look, here's a link to a study about people dying from medications" do you understand how stupid and irrelevant that reply would be?

I was trained to perform prone restraints. We had to renew our certification yearly, and two facts stick with me: 1) We were reminded every time that multiple people have died due to prone restraints, and 2) We were drilled repeatedly to restrain using pressure on the limbs but NEVER the torso or the neck, because it's too dangerous.

And your response to Octavia_Melody is inexcusably rude.

"And your response to Octavia_Melody is inexcusably rude."

Tell you what, get her to apologize for trying to get me fired and/or physically assaulted and I'll apologize for being rude.

nee not foot and that is what they get tought!

Yep.

Definitely a fentanyl overdose.

Got it. You're too stupid to process anything more complex than a picture.

That neck restraint has been used hundreds of times in the past several years and resulted in zero fatalities.

You're an imbecile.

Hmm

Yes

A person had a cop kneel on his neck for over 8 minutes and suffocated

But he didn't die because his airflow was restricted.

By the way, tests have demonstrated police hesitate LESS at shooting white people than black.

Yes, cops do kill white people too. (Though it happens at a much lower rate). Why doesn't the media cover it when cops kill white people?

this was 10 months ago.
