US police brutality item

[Rev. Rye]

Justifiable defense is a thing, but, frankly, what I’ve seen in the videos of Floyd’s death ain’t it. This could just be me, but if someone’s trying to kill you and the only thing you can do to save yourself is kill them, you take them out as quickly as possible.

What happened with George Floyd, according to all available records, from the prosecutor’s statement of probable cause to the videos of his death to the autopsy reports... it wasn’t that. It was a case of police brutality that started with a counterfeit $20 bill and ended with a death that, honestly, would have made this seem downright humane:



(Note: I’m not saying Chauvin is a Nazi like Ed Norton’s character, just comparing and contrasting two undeniably brutal deaths.)

Killing in self-defense is justifiable. Torture like this never is.
