        Ok so kind of as we expected. He was being arrested for a violation/domestic crime, resisted arrest including a taser, and had a knife or was reaching for one while the cops yelled for him to stop.

        It’s mind boggling this is even controversial.

          I wonder if this is a version of suicide by cop.
          Like, "I'm a loser, I'm high, and I don't care what happens next."

          You would have to be high on something, maybe + drunk, to walk away from cops with their guns pulled, knowing that if they start shooting, there are kids in the car that could be killed.

          No. Even if I were high as a kite, I would never put my kids or anyone's kids in jeopardy. That's like basic instinct or something.

            I agree. For better or worse, this chaos will be drastically reduced if Biden wins.

                  There is another version of the cop’s perspective of what he saw and witnessed that the MSM will never ever talk about.

                  That version could be deeply wrong and murder even but the fact that the MSM deems it wrong to even air it is so worthy of a national conversation.

                    Have the cops released their side of the story? I’ve not seen it. Not that I’ve looked that hard.

                        I don't put this in the same category as the 'fiery but otherwise peaceful' protest.

                        It matters whether he had the knife on him or not when they shot him.

                            The problem here is as illustrated by the video George posted in Playing Cop. Here is a guy who has already struggled, been tazed, still gets up and walks away, ignoring police commands AT GUNPOINT, then tries to get into his car contrary to orders. The officer had no time to wait to see it he came around with a weapon.

                                So the guy is down. Is able to free himself, has been tased to no effect and ignores police commands and goes to the other side of the car and opens the door and is reaching down. What is the cop supposed to be thinking?

                                Not sure this is the sequence of events but what if it is?

                                      If you watch Floyd, watch the newer video too, where he’s struggling in the back seat and claiming he can’t breathe a few minutes before he’s even put on the ground.

                                        Out of the millions of innocent black men shot by police every year, why can't we find just one with a nice story and clear video?

                                          We don't negotiate with terrorists.

                                          I’m not saying we should, or do. I’m just saying I think that will be the outcome. Reduced mob chaos.

                                          Seriously, How on earth could someone think we’ll get less of this if we re-elect him?

                                          I agree. For better or worse, this chaos will be drastically reduced if Biden wins.

                                          We don't negotiate with terrorists.

                                          I think it would be made more clear by saying "if Biden wins, the media will reduce its deliberate attempts to incite violence".

                                          Education is extremely important.
