"The horrific murder of George Floyd was nothing less than a public lynching".
Erm, no. George Floyd was a fucking enormous, violent criminal who was being restrained after resisting arrest for theft whilst high on Fentanyl and Speed.
His skin colour absolutely played a role in his death. But more so due to the socio-economic issues that black folk face in America that led to his unfortunate life choices. The Police Officers in question (like fucking shitloads of Police Officers in America) were poorly trained and completely unprepared for dealing with a brute of Floyd's physical stature.
The restraint technique they used was an undoubtedly poor choice, and Floyd absolutely did not deserve to die for trying to buy cigarettes with a fake $20 bill, for being high on drugs, or for any of his previous transgressions. But calling this a 'public lynching' makes you sound just as bad as every other white, privileged middle-class cunt that seems to have suddenly become so affected by the sudden great injustices faced by our black brethren that you wouldn't have spared a moment thinking about a month previous to this.
'Public Lynching'. Wank off.

Fucks sake
Minimise the deliberate choice of the arresting officer to continue to press a chokehold for several minutes after the victim had passed out as a “poor choice”, while simultaneously dehumanising the victim by describing him as a “brute”.

The guy was 6'6", and not exactly slender.
Considering his history, I think 'brute' is a fairly reasonable adjective.
The restraint technique used is pretty common all over the world, particularly when trying to restrain an assailant that would otherwise pose a significant physical threat - you know, like a 6'6" bruiser resisting arrest while jacked up on super heroin. What would you have suggested? Shooting him?
I'm by no means condoning the length of time that Floyd was restrained. As soon as he was cuffed, the pressure should have been taken off his neck. But to call it a 'public lynching' is utter bullshit. It was just a shitshow of poor policing. Anybody who honestly believes that their objective during the arrest was to kill George Floyd is a fucking idiot.

I applaud your reasonable skepticism.
He was in cuffs well before the incident. Video shows that. He was led across a street in cuffs.
During the time of his neck pressure, he was in cuffs, and there were four police officers. He was saying he could not breathe (16 times in 5 mins) until he lost consciousness.
Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds. "For the last three of those minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse" - (quoting from Wikipedia, but see refs.

My opinion: it's murder.

Of course it's murder.
In America, you can be arrested for resisting arrest. It is a rule so widely open to abuse that it can not be presented as a credible excuse for police brutality.

He was cuffed before they applied the choke hold.
His history is only relevant here if you’re looking for a reason to justify the police officer’s actions.

"undoubtedly poor choice"?
That's a funny way to talk about cold-blooded murder.

Mr Penis,
Are you saying it wasn't public, or it was not a lynching?
Please clarify; both claims are absurd.
It was public.
It was a lynching, ie "a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group".

You think the murder was premeditated?
Are you still on your meds?
(, Sat 20 Jun 2020, 13:54, Share, Reply)
Yes. And no.
Premeditated, yes. On meds, no, not that is is relevant.
Premeditated means "think out or plan". I googled it.
He was not struggling. For over three minutes, Floyd was not responding at all, and yet Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck.
I consider that to be a very clear and deliberate act.
Especially given his training.
Why do you think my medication has anything to do with the issue? [I know you really don't, I am merely pointing out that you are the type of cunt who throws out ridiculous strawman arguments...]

There was also a crowd of witnesses telling the murderer that he was killing George Floyd.
The murderer was actively made aware of what he was doing, as were his accomplices.

Yes, it was premeditated.
"Someone premeditates a crime by considering it before committing it. Premeditation requires that the defendant think out the act, no matter how quickly—it can be as simple deciding to pick up a hammer that is lying nearby and to use it as a weapon."

Exactly
Penis probably thinks that "premedidated" refers to planning a murder weeks before.
It does not.
If you are kneeling on someone's neck for about 9 minutes, you have quite a lot of time to think.
If they say "I can't breathe" about 16 times, you have a fair idea of the situation.
If they become unresponsive, and you continue to block their neck for three more minutes, then I do consider that murder.
Personal attacks about "are you on meds" are, of course, the last bastion of piss-poor arguments.

Hi Mr. Penis. Your racism is not welcome here.
