real full footage of george floyd. police cam. the real scenario was different as media shows.

@SatanBurger It's like somebody drew Mohammed and everything all hell breaks loose

@FreestyleArt Well people are def. in the wrong to say it's a race thing in this case. The guy with dreads also had the fake 20 dollar bill and I think the police spoke with him and let him go so it's def. not a racism issue.

But the cops should have from the moment he says he couldn't breathe, reacted differently instead.

I get why they didn't believe him to be honest, I get that but maybe things could have gone differently if they didn't react in that way and also put their knee on his upper back rather than neck instead.

@SatanBurger Still doesn't justify putting a knee on his neck for that long. That's the part that makes people think it was racism, because they didn't value his life. That they wouldn't do that to a white person. It's difficult to prove they "wouldn't do that" in another case, though, but it's crucial to prove that if you want to prove that it's racism.

@SW-User That's a lot of what ifs. There was some white dude who was crawling on the floor saying please don't shoot me while crying. He got shot in the head awhile back.

I wish people would read my full comments. I didn't say it absolved them from anything, they should have left him in cuffs but sat him upright while waiting for the ambulance. I'm just saying that after viewing the video, it's easy to think he was doing that in purpose since he was like that from the beginning.

But cops are in a position of power so I get that, it's just I don't think I can scream racism on this one.

@SatanBurger I know the video you're talking about of the white guy being shot on the floor. I think that does hurt the racism argument, especially if the argument is general about all police and not specific problems in specific departments. The cases where the victim is black receive way more attention. Racism is always going to be difficult to prove; cops aren't just going to shout racial slurs and remove all doubt.

I guess I just don't think the video changes anything for me. It's interesting information, but it doesn't put the cops in a more favorable light as many are claiming (not saying you, just what I've seen on the internet since this video came out). It just shows how fucked up this entire situation was.

@SW-User Some of them do, I mean they do find out later that some cop charged with something had racial comments on their Facebook wall or whatever. But yeah they were kind of cold with Floyd and devoid of empathy. Even if you think someone is lying, you're still in a position of power above them. He repeatedly said he couldn't breathe, he should have been taken seriously. It's just I could see someone thinking he's been lying if refusing to get out of the car for questioning. Still, it wasn't professional.
