It was impossible to defend. Impossible.
I still feel the Breonna Taylor murder was worse and would have made a much better "example" as she wasn't doing anything illegal at all and the cover up around it was 500% worse.
That's the exact line used. Just got back last weekend from visiting my parents in Florida. Dad golfed with a guy who is retired police, his friends told him that Floyd had drugs so they did nothing wrong. Also said that every other issue, Taylor, etc is the liberal media demonizing them and every shooting is justified, etc. Cop culture is the issue.
it's just a ridiculous thing to say "every shooting is justified", it proves the person has zero objectivity and shouldn't be listened to. How could it possibly be that "every shooting is justified" unless they think every cop is 100% correct 100% of the time and that's an insane thing to think, especially for a cop.
Maybe Floyd would have died if the jerk cop hadn't leaned on his neck for 8 minutes, but we'll never know and it's certainly not a thing you can assume. Certainly the public has been wrong on judging cops too harshly too quickly after a shooting, there are still dummies that just
know Michael Brown was murdered by Darren Wilson and that's not the case. On the other hand, for every case like that, there are a dozen times where the cops straight up murdered someone and got away with it.
