    There are several videos that clearly show what happened. He sat there with his knee on his neck for at least 8 minutes as the guy died. What happened is obvious and the cops account is secondary to video.

    What does being Asian have to do with anything? The fact that it seems that the guy said I can't breathe AND HE PRESSED HARDER. Aside from that having wanton disregard for the lives of other humans unfortunately isn't new.

    3. Took about a year to get the city to pay millions in rightful damages over the chocking to death of Eric Garner. It took 5 years for the police to admit that this was wrong and the cop had to be fired. That white cop himself was cleared by that joke of a legal system in the US for killing a black man grasping for air. And this too is a fine example how fanatics support the cop and come with... "but he was resisting".. because the cop said so. They end up in the jury clearing this racist white thug who still aint in jail.

    2. Black people are simply treated harsher by the same law. Statics prove that. The US justice system is favoring white people.

    Either way it’s manslaughter not murder. For it to be murder he must have intended to kill him which is obviously not the case.

    Lies. The justice department favors people with lawyers. It just so happens that white people are FAR more likely to pay for a good lawyer than blacks.

    Second of all, blacks represent less than 13% of the total population and yet they commit 52% of the murder, 30% of the total rape and are overrepresented in literally EVERY category of violent crime that we keep track of whereas not ONE other race is overrepresented in even ONE category of violent crime.

    Last, whites are the ONLY group whom it is legal and government promoted to discriminate against based solely on their race or ethnicity and this fact is easily demonstrable.

    To sit there that long, applying that kind of force? I'm not even trained and I'm well aware than can be fatal. The guy and everyone around him, is telling him he is killing him.

    So you think this cop purposely sat on his neck with the intent to murder him on camera in front of a group of people?

    You think he was not aware death was a likely result?

    Yep, racism in America is dead buddy.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/minneapolis-cnn-crew-arrested/index.html
    CNN's Josh Campell, who also was in the area but not standing with the on-air crew, said he, too, was approached by police, but was allowed to remain.
    "I identified myself ... they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area,'" recounted Campbell, who is white. "I was treated much differently than (Jimenez) was."

    Possible yes, likely no. But cops do a lot of things that are possibly and even likely to result in death.

    Look I’m not the biggest fan of the police force because I think there’s a lot of high school losers with inferiority complexes trying to get a position of authority and assert some power. And I’d bet the house this guy is one of those tools. But with that being said, I don’t believe he intended to kill him. I think he went too far with his little power trip.

    But I’m certain there’s not enough there to get murder.

    ~ Maybe ? He was unconscious. Maybe you did not see the video or read statements ...?

    I don't think even Perry Manson will be able to get this guy a chance . Looks like a homicide .
    ~ They did not want to kill him - they just did not care if he died. Looks like they were purposely negligent .

    It's just like joining the military, you know there is a possibility that you may go to war.

    So did he accidentally put his knee on the man's neck and left it there for 9 minutes.

    Can you present any sort of evidence to support your contention that the murder of Mr. Floyd was racially motivated?

    Second Degree Murder Overview - FindLaw
    Apr 16, 2020 · Second degree murder is generally defined as intentional murder that lacks premeditation, is intended to only cause bodily harm, and demonstrates an extreme indifference to human life. The exact legal definition of this crime will vary by jurisdiction.

    · Third degree murder
    can be defined as homicide committed with the intention of causing bodily harm, but not necessarily death. It can be a killing that results from indifference or negligence or recklessness. Statutes defining third degree murder vary considerably from state to state.

    Why are the arresting the CNN reporter? They've gone mad and don't know what the heck they're doing. Out of control.
