Fucking shit show. Many cop friends of mine, most are calling the cops out for the abuse/murder of Mr. Floyd. A couple cop friends of mine are reserving judgment till further investigation.
My take as a paramedic/former SWAT medic? Positional asphyxia kills, I've treated it, I've seen hyped cops holding dudes down after a chase and I have politely intervened by saying, bro, roll him over so I can check him out.
I've educated cops on this and excited delirium (probably not that for this case), many are positive about understanding it and will call us I'd suspected.
That said, I'm not sure what constitutes murder, I'm not a cop or lawyer but this cop is responsible for the death of Mr. Floyd when all the cop needed to do was roll him onto his side when Mr. Floyd was begging, should have never been in that position anyhow.
Now, good cops, like my brother in law and many friends, including our very own, Policemedic, all that abide by their oaths, upholding our constitution will, again, be labeled as pigs, crooked and any other name.
Meanwhile, what was something I would definitely stand behind, of the peaceful protests over his death, turns into hoodlums, needing a reason to loot, burn their own hoods.
You lost me when you went from wanting justice, Mr. Floyd received no due process, instead, is dead, now, a fucking abortion.
Keep your heads on swivels...
