How Do You Kneel On A Neck For Nine Minutes?

[skews13.]

To understand what happened to Floyd, I tried to simulate the position of his killer. My crude simulator involved a stopwatch and kneeling on a rolled-up yoga mat, on top of which I placed a gelatinous pad used by medical students to imitate human skin. (I have these things in my house.) A yoga mat and a fake-skin pad are no substitute for the neck of a dying, pleading man, and thank goodness for that. I used the times noted in the coroner’s report: five minutes and 53 seconds of kneeling before officers declared that Floyd was unresponsive, followed by two minutes and 53 seconds of continued pressure. That totals just less than nine minutes.

Hush! FoxNews is giving “conservatives” all they need to justify murder.

The answer to your question is a mixture or racism, abuse of police authority, and a complete lack of humanity by all the officers on the scene thinking that was acceptable.

(The irony is if this happened to a dog there would be more outrage from our StormFront members here at DP... but it was a black guy, so meh is their answer.)

I wonder if Floyd had information on the cop. They did work at the same nightclub for a bit

It's mostly about balance.

Apparently, he trained.

You gotta really care about whether the Yoga mat lives for it to be easy.

The hatred runs deep in some. It is shear hatred that would make someone do this. It should be prosecuted as a hate crime.
