Chauvin 100% wanted him out cold, even when Flyod's bladder released, even when health professionals told him things weren't good, even when the paramedics arrived he didn't cease to grind Floyds neck on to the tarmac with his knee. What was he thinking?

You'll see unarmed Ashli Babbitt get gunned down and think she was a violent terrorist bringing down the US government.

He had to be made an example of to appease the masses.

Highlights my own - where she is putting on notice those who pledge and commit resources and accept the plaudits for same but don't always follow through... Same applies in many areas - LGBTQ support comes to mind this month. “The sentence handed down today to the Minneapolis police officer who killed my brother George Floyd shows that matters of police brutality are finally being taken seriously. However, we have a long way to go and many changes to make before Black and Brown people finally feel like they are being treated fairly and humanely by law enforcement in this country. Our focus at the George Floyd Memorial Foundation will now move to building support to ensure that the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act becomes law and brings with it the hope for the substantive change that we need so desperately in this country. We will keep George’s memory alive by ensuring high school students and law school students have every opportunity to succeed by providing much-needed scholarships and other financial assistance. We will honor George’s commitment to those less fortunate by providing acts of service and support in communities around the country.These efforts will take resources, however, so we will continue to work to secure financial commitments from many of the corporate entities who were so vocal about providing support for racial diversity and equality following my brother’s death. Our work at the George Floyd Memorial Foundation has only just begun because the fight for justice is far from over.”

I've repeatedly said on the various threads that any single individual committing violence should be charged and prosecuted from doing so.What I'm not willing to do is dismiss intent of the vast majority of peaceful protests and protesters because of these actions.
Sand wrote: » But you do. Not a single person died at the hands of the Jan 6th protestors. Yet you describe the Jan 6th protest as a violent insurrection. On the basis of what? An unarmed Ashli Babbitt being shot dead for climbing through a door and didnt follow the instructions of a LEO? You've been indoctrinated.

I was going to try discuss with you whether or not you think the events of Jan 6th contributed in a substantial way to the natural causes he subsequently died from, or whether violence only counts if it results in death given that there are numerous video clips of Capitol security being physically and violently attacked by rioting scumbags, but I really don't see the point.
Sand wrote: » Given the idealogical indoctrination many suffer from, it is increasingly difficult to examine issues from an objective and neutral standpoint. Far too often people take a point of view that those who disagree with their views are not just incorrect or wrong, but outright evil. Or 'scumbags' as you say yourself.
The physical toll on officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob is becoming clearer, with reports by police officials and federal prosecutors indicating that about 140 officers were injured, the head of the Capitol Police officers’ union said. “I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.” Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after trying to defend the Capitol from rioters. One Capitol Police officer and one D.C. police officer who were responding on the scene have died by suicide since the attack. And since Jan. 6, 38 Capitol Police employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, almost entirely officers and supervisors who responded to the riot, Papathanasiou said.
