[Part 2]
Let's take George Floyd's situation, for example. In video evidence, George Floyd was calmly in the back seat of a police car while at least 1 of 4 cops were beating him while he did nothing to resist them or deserve this treatment. 1 of those 4 cops stood and watched as this took place, not doing anything to help Floyd. Later, also in video evidence, a cop, Derek M. Chauvin, knelt on George Floyd's neck, suffocating him, causing him immense pain, and later killing him (all the while bystanders pleaded and demanded that Chauvin stop kneeling on Floyd's neck). While Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck, Floyd was handcuffed and again, was peaceful and not resisting. In the first few minutes of this situation, Floyd pleaded that he couldn't breathe, to which Chauvin AND the cop standing next to them did not acknowledge. Chauvin was recently arrested and charged with THIRD DEGREE murder. Chauvin BRUTALLY MURDERED a PEACEFUL CIVILAN, who had only ALLEGEDLY written a false check (Floyd was known as a "Gentle Giant" among his community, standing at 6'6" and always exhibiting kindness. No one who knew him would ever believe that he would try to write a false check. It is highly unlikely that he committed any crime that couldn't be let off with a warning, much less a crime deserving of serious physical restraint). Chauvin and the other cops involved in this incident should be charged with AT LEAST SECOND DEGREE MURDER.
