So most here defended the cop who put his knee on Floyds neck for over nine minutes, and now, all of a sudden, it's sinking in that it's not going to be just the "low lifes" that get this treatment from the cops.
Thank God some of you are finally seeing it. It's too bad so many "drug addicts" and "criminals" had to die. Like the guy who was jaywalking, or the twelve year old who was playing with a plastic cap gun, or the woman who was sleeping in her own bed, or the kid who got shot by an overzealous "neighborhood watch" guy. Or that guy with the "gun", but was just a cell phone. Or the guy who told the officer he had a LEGAL gun in the car and was shot when he reached for his registration. Shot in front of his girlfriend. Or the guy who was shot pleading for his life in a hallway, after someone mistakenly reported he had guns. That video was horrible. And so on and so on.
I just don't understand why all that wasn't enough. Perhaps it was the "type" of people that were being murdered by cops?

Another day, another pair of roided up, power hungry thugs abusing civilians rights.
I looked up Viriginia law and drivers are well within their right to slow down, which he did, and find a well lit place to park.
