Derek Chauvin, 45, was charged with a life sentence of killing George Floyd. He will be in his eighties. Either will he live or die? People got their wish. Or do they?
We all know cops shoot to kill and do not ask questions until they interview and interrogate potential witnesses of what happened. The cops and policeperson do not think because victims do not listen. Suppose a cop pulls out a gun on you. Stop running. A speeding bullet can kill you. Listen to them if you listen to them. No one will get hurt. If we do not listen to them, we will be dead and pull the race card.
When would people stop whatever, they are doing? If cops have a conscious mind, they will not shoot their victims no matter their victims’ ages. Do not shoot to kill. Give them warning shots, and they will stop. If that does not work, try another method and another method. But do not shoot to kill; that is what they are trained. If cops want to stop their victims, then use a taser.
This is not rocket science or a Ph.D. moment but shoots at their leg. If the victims are fast runners, then you cut them off at an intersecting. If you are a football player, throw something and hit your target with an object.
Here is another method you can use look at your surrounding area and see if you can ricochet a bullet into your victim without killing them.
Try different methods! Think quickly before you shoot to kill. Have a conscious before you pull the trigger. If cops and police people have more common sense and a conscious, their victims will be alive.
Why do we have a protest? Because people want change. If cops and police person do not change, people will riot and loot other businesses.
I do need a washing machine; I will wait for a sale.
Look what happened to New York and especially Portland, Oregon. Massive destructions in our cities. And crime wave too. People protest every day; they want people to change.
I am glad the judge and juries decided on all three counts: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
There must be a better solution instead of killing a person.
No offense. Please no hate comments on this article. Keep it positive—my opinion.
With all due respect, it was re-enacted multiple times by various people. One even did excercise to exhaust themself to put themself in a physically stressful situation, then had a physically fit person kneel on their neck, mimicking the exact same position Chauvin was in, and even putting more pressure on their neck, and not once did any of them want to stop the experiment. None of them felt excruciating pain, experienced lack of breath, thirst, or any feeling of losing consciousness. The George Floyd death was a tragedy, but not one at fault of the officer. Also, if George Floyd could not breathe, how could he be talking? I can get murmuring “I cant breathe” but saying “I cant breathe” repetitively and clearly is not at all what I could see anyone doing if they were truly not able to breathe. No disrespect to anyone is meant to this, except for those capitalizing off of his death. His death was a tragedy. There is no need for various people to spin it out of proportion because they want to start a movement or earn money off of it, and those people are the worst animals this world has born.
