Which part is the smear?
First of all, it's literally true that Floyd's resisting arrest as opposed to not resisting arrest did change things. To assert otherwise is patently stupid. Even Boru doesn't believe that if Floyd had meekly complied and gotten in the car that Chauvin would still have dragged him out of the car and kneeled on his neck. So Boru suggesting it didn't change anything because he didn't die while resisting is absurd if one takes it literally. So what was Boru's meaning? My suspicion is that Boru was saying that Floyd shouldn't have died as a consequence of resisting arrest, and I agree with him there, it shouldn't have changed whether Floyd lived or died. But if that's what he meant, then by saying he disagreed with me, he's implying that I said otherwise, that Floyd's resisting arrest should have led to his death. I think I'm within reason at being offended by any such suggestion. If you have another theory of Boru's meaning, please share it.
