From who…???
You know what's pathetic? The police put up more of a fight to protect CNN than they did their own police station, housing project, or city.
Any rioting going on in Indy? Important to know how close to home this is getting.
Yes they did and it looks like the leaders told them to stand down. SMHThere is no "the police". There's some 18,000 different police departments. Atlanta police are not Minneapolis police.
"The police" in Minneapolis did what police do. Responded to their civilian leadership. This isn't a police state, regardless of the interwebs finding tyranny under every rock.
Have we discussed the fact that the ME ruled no traumatic asphyxiation and no strangulation?
People beating on your car and trying to break stuff he decided to put the hammer down.
The vermin of our society have just been waiting for this. We need to hand out party favors.
My wife delivered a PUDC to our backdoor neighbor a few minutes ago. He's a minister.
His wife was outside. Said she'd been outside all day because the minister was so angry about Floyd's death.
So, I figure when a republican Protestant minister and an agnostic democrat agree and get angry over the same death it's takes us out of "keyboard warrior" status.
For those of us down in Indiucky's neck of the woods, 2nd street bridge was shut down while the "no justice no peace" protestors protest, and they're moving towards 4th street live. Tomorrow they're expecting protests to continue.
Dang it. I was planning to go biking downtown tomorrow. So much for that. Guess I'll have to go out east. Or. Maybe I could go earlier in the morning. I don't think protestors will be back up until later in the day if they're out all night.
It doesn’t matter whether the autopsy report says Floyd died of a heart attack or a crushed neck… All that cop had to do was tune in for a few seconds and realize the Floyd was in deep trouble and do the right thing. He and the other three cops, like BBI said, screwed it up for all the others.
edit: and all the innocent people who are collateral damage in the ensuing mess.

Protests, but so far no riots.
All one needs to do is remember what happened to the trucker in the 92 LA riots.
If "protesters" attack your car, you better floor it, because you won't live long if you don't.
Though when I venture north Sunday night to a suburb of Detroit for a couple days, I'll make sure my AR Pistol is in the car just in case. Anyone heard of any of this nonsense happening there?
“The killing of George Floyd was the spark, but the tinder that set off with years of similar brutalities and killings of African Americans all over the country,” said IU senior lecturer Carl Weinberg.
People in Indianapolis are still mourning Dreasjon Reed, 21, who was shot and killed by an Indianapolis Metropolitan police officer in early May.

My layman's terms interpretation of that means he wasn't killed by being struck or squeezing his neck. Which I called early on. Asphyxiation comes in multiple flavors. <SNIP> This is more likely positional asphyxiation/excited delirium.
