    A human being murdered at the hands of those who had a duty of care whatever law he broke.

    RIP.

    The videos taken of him in the Cut Food store show him as a spaced out guy. Not threatening then but very tall and well muscled. Not someone you would take chances with.

    It's for the court to exonerate or not.

    Mr Floyd's size and mental state were perhaps drivers of the policeman"s choice of restraint. That is what is being debated in the trial.

    You are trying to defend the indefensible, because somebody is agitated & bigger than you it doesn't mean you have to kill him, he had already been restrained when the knee went on his neck.

    If the object was to stop him running off after arrest handcuffed behind the back prone on the floor was enough!

    So do tell us what such people look like? Do they all have the same physical features? Should they all be choked to death without trial?

    So basically, some of us are OK with a world in which being big, and a drug addict means the death penalty for allegedly passing a forged $20 bill.

    Does that apply to Ahmaud Auberry? He was black and quite big and allegedly running from an unspecified crime.

    How about Breonna Taylor? She was black, not very big and asleep in her own bed at home when the death penalty was served on her? The crime she was supposed to have committed wasn't even hers but an ex boyfriend's.

    Or any of the hundreds of cases when the police acted as judge, jury and executioner?
    What do they have in common? oh yes, the colour of their skin.

    I'm wondering what the reason for the original post was, just a photo with no words.

    I think we can all guess.

    I think after seeing the video and listening for a short time to the witnesses it’s obvious he was simply murdered, no matter of your prejudice regarding his past or his colour or the state of mind he was in it’s just obvious, he was a bad man doing bad things but he didn’t deserve this for his bad actions that day. Copper should go to jail then at least there might not be riots after the trial.

    There are a hell of a lot more much higher up that list than he was, no-one pretends he was a angel, but from what we have yet seen he wasn’t even particularly resisting.
