I am allowed an opinion. Mine just seems less accusatory and more evidence based than most.

I didn't call them murder or assume they were racist based on skin colour like others.

However, I'm shocked that you've jumped the gun and said that that is police brutality before there has been a proper investigation, to discover and evaluate the facts.
We are all very disappointed in you.
Notice the word probably, as always I suggest restraint and waiting for justice.

He was however arrested. that is separate.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostBy "arresting", do you mean "pressing knee to neck for five minutes until the arrested person has no pulse and is motionless and then keeping the knee pressed for another three minutes?" Because I check the dictionary, and there was no definition that fitted that.
No I don't, that is police brutality and it is probably what the Police will rightly be convicted of.

Now if you had read the source you would have noticed this:
So no convictions / detected criminal activity since 2014. Except of course he tested positive for 2 class A drugs so it looks like he was still on the drugs.

Thought I would return the cheap shot to you because you are obviously prejudiced.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostVery interesting/ambiguous wording in your first quote. It's not great English, but hey, what can we expect from your sources.
Last time Floyd was arrested was in 2009, so yes, his "criminal history" is more than a decade old. Nothing since 2009.
