I AM SO MAD.
The George Floyd argument has become so toxic that it’s posing me off. So maybe George Floyd was on fentanyl, but that is NOT what killed him. Did you not see that white cop put him in a chokehold as he cried out for his life?! HE WAS MURDERED.
If you watch the newly released body cam footage, there are so many things to take note of. So this thread may be a mess. So maybe he was a criminal, and maybe he did resist arrest, but that does NOT justify kneeling on his neck and suffocating him.
Yes, he did say “I can’t breathe” before being killed. That was because he was having an anxiety attack (or something?). He yelled that he was claustrophobic and scared. (Though that doesn’t justify resisting arrest. :\\) Also he only said that phrase ONCE before being murdered.
As I said in an earlier tweet, maybe he was on drugs, but that wasn’t the cause of his death. It might have aided in his death, but it wasn’t the cause. What a coincidence that he just so happened to have overdosed while being put in a chokehold by three officers!!
