What should have the cops done? Put yourself in their situation. You have a large man ODing or faking it, you don't really know if he lying or not just to get away. What would you do in that situation?
It's unfortunate, "Medical examiners said the fentanyl levels were at a potentially "fatal level," but that it was a combination of factors that led to Floyd's death." The way his knee was on Georges neck wouldn't kill me and I'm half the size of George. The man ODed, it could have been triggered by and escalated heart rate during the arrest but a knee to the side or back of your neck wont kill you. Did you watch the 20 min of footage prior to the 8 min that was shown everywhere? Also how do you know if someone was unconscious or faking it?

Follow your fucking training and not kbneel on his neck.
it is really that fucking simple.
Stupid prick, the training from the department specifically had kneeling on the neck for situations like the one with Fentanyl Floyd.
I can tell you've never worked in LE.
Show your source.
Mein Gott, you're so cliche.
"it's that simple"
"show your source"
Next thing you'll tell me, that "it's 2021 already people".
Okay, I'll "do you homework for you" (ha!). Here it is, from the training manual, from the court cases exhibits: https://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12951-TKL/Exhibit67807072020.pdf
See page 7 of the .pdf.
Now, I know exactly what you're going to come back with. Let me say in advance, it is an obvious CYA.
They should change the training, not give him a life sentence for following his training
Fucking pig bootlicker you are.
Fuck his training. There's nothing in the book that says KNEEL ON SOMEONE FOR 9 MINUTES WHILE THEY DIE.
What the fuck is wrong with you? The man was unconscious for most of the duration.
Anyone that thinks this is how police are trained are fucking retarded. They have discretion.
Again, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FUCKING KNEEL ON AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON'S NECK. THEY ARE UNCONSCIOUS YOU FUCKING PUSSY.

he didn't follow his training, on the contrary.
