Holy scrap. No, we don& #39;t need to see Mr. Floyd& #39;s criminal record or his high school grades. We don& #39;t need to see what happened before filming started. Cops are not supposed to be special or privileged. They are not better than other citizens. 1/
If I grab some guy and then with help from my friends, subdue the guy and the him up. Fine. If after we& #39;ve detained and controlled him, I choke him out and kill him. I& #39;m not getting paid vacation. I& #39;m going on trial and my friends are too. 2/
This is the very minimum standard that should be applied to cops. But in reality, being trained professionals, with arguably, a license to kill, police should be held to a much higher standard. Perfection should be the goal.
Anything less should not be acceptable. /3
