I just hate meth so much and consider anyone on it a violent threat at all times.
I've been on the streets in the ghettos, I know for a fact it turns everyone into # monsters.
So I guess that makes me suck that I don't care this guy died AT ALL?
Oh well.
Hate meth.
Worst epidemic our country EVER saw!!!

It was wrong what the cops did to him.
Supposedly he was high on Fentanyl & Meth.
Autopsy reports came back with it in his blood stream.
In the attached video you see him drop the bag of meth.
Apparently at some point he started to resist arrest.
He also had a long and colorful rap sheet.
again what happened was wrong.
but dood is No hero, and definitely shouldn't be martyred.

So we have all seen the video of George being killed by the officer so I won’t post that however in that video he is by the right rear tire and the left side of the car is on the curb.
In all the business surveillance video leading up to that he is on the sidewalk sitting in cuffs. He is then lead across the street to a police vehicle where the incident happens. However he is led to the drivers side of the vehicle if you watch close you can even see them open the drivers rear door.
That’s it maybe it’s nothing but I thought I would ask you all.
Why would they cuff, him, sit him down, then move him across the street and place him face down on the curb and NOT put him in the back of the car.

i would think it was more of a safety deal more than any thing else. floyd was parked on the side of the store across the street. if you watch the unedited video, you can see the cops cross the street, compare that with the shots of all four of them on him they are in front of the store. and if you look at the top left hand corner behind the white truck and white van going around the corner then later on at about the 2:09 mark you can see a woman in a purple and white dress with a umbrella standing there. you can see they parked in front of the store. then after they get him out of his vehicle, sit him down. and after the SUV that was behind floyds suv( which he videoed the cops getting floyd out of his car) left another unit pulls up and then they take him back across to the front of the store.
as i said it was probably for safety reasons so they wouldn't have to walk back and forth across the street. lots of times when cops arrest some one, and start a preliminary investigation they will open the door of the unit so they can talk to the suspect. and will sometimes bring the complainant out for a ID of suspect.

Drugs are a mental health topic, shouldn't be criminal. I mean the manufacturing and smuggling, but not the consumption.
In this case what he died for were 20$. No matter what he did before, you shouldn't be killed by your public servants over 20$.
