And I still don't know exactly how he died. Floyd was saying he thought he was going to die before he ever went to the ground. Maybe he could tell that his body was breaking down? Why did he think he would die if they put him in the back of the car, without the thought of a neck restraint even entering his mind?
I don't think what Floyd said in slowly dying was any prediction. I do think it was excessive force though.
If you were hanging out with your friend and they started telling you that they were about to die, would you not think that something serious was going on inside of their body? Floyd said that before he went to the ground.
I agree that the force was excessive. I just think 2nd degree is too high a charge. If they let him plee to 3rd, people wouldn't have accepted that as justice, so they were kind of between a rock and a hard place.
Casey Anthony was guilty as heck but she got off because the jury wasn't sure as to the cause of death. Maybe I'll be wrong on this one and he'll get convicted. We'll see. I was right about the cop who killed Mike Brown and I was right about George Zimmerman being not guilty, but maybe this is where my streak of correct predictions ends.
