Well he was high... so there's that.

Without it being a contributing cause of death, it really doesn't matter. Nobody is saying that Floyd shouldn't have been arrested. He shouldn't have had a knee pinned against his neck for 8 minutes while he was handcuffed and laying flat on his stomach, and motionless.

He was also placed in a stress position for a prolonged period of time in what was quite obviously a use of excessive force. Having fentanyl in his system in no way excuses the cops behavior, or him completely ignoring the signs of Floyd's distress.

Understand... just stating what the media is presenting... HE WAS HIGH. That is all.

At a time when this nation is bitterly divided, and there is animosity and distrust down racial lines, Trump has only exacerbated the problem. He has not even tried to address the situation. He turns each circumstance into a fight over partisan politics. There is never any compromise... just more and more politics as usual. He always presents himself as the victim in any scenario. Someone has done him wrong, and the other side is always at fault. There is no accountability. The buck is always passed. He is a divisive figure when that is the last thing we need from our leadership.

Everything you have said is 🐃💩!

Your side has stated he is the devil and an illegitimate President and called for him to be impeached and removed from office within hours of the 2016 election.

Your side has said all of his supporters or anyone who voted for him are nazis and racists and that we should not be welcome anywhere.

All this while in three years directing our country to the best it's been in history.
Record highs in the economy & stock market.

Record lows in Unemployment across the board where it be white, black, hispanic or women.

Why are you libs so pissed about it being said he was high? What are you afraid of? That man may have been a junkie... does that make a difference, I don't get it. But you all seem to be sensitive to it being pointed out... why?

Ummm...you do know that under the exact same circumstances the Secret Service would respond in the exact same manner if a Democratic Savior occupied the Oval Office, right? Right? So you’re just essentially being a leftist azzhat about it and riding that for all it’s worth because orange man bad.

POTUS doesn’t make those calls, black suits with guns and comms make those decisions.

The libs and emotionally weak are having a hard time digesting reality.

I said he had ingested drugs likely heroin or coke but it was in fact fentanyl laced meth. I was right yet again when some here were like “no his larynx and windpipe was choked to death”

Right yet again? Sorta right for once, more likely. You're choosing to ignore how people have to keep pointing out to you that Arbery wasn't engaged in criminal conduct. Inconvenient to your argument.

So Floyd had fentanyl in his system? It doesn't justify the police using excessive force, nor does it justify them ignoring his pleas of distress. Both can be, and are wrong. It is still reasonable to believe that the excessive force put enough strain on Floyd's body to cause death. None of that is changed by the presence of drugs in his system. What those officers did was not okay.

"Homicide is manner of death". How complicated is that?

Yes, and I don’t disagree with that. And Floyd was still high and having his drug ridden heart give out because of the restraint and the fentanyl laced meth. This is likely why Floyd was acting so strange and saying he couldn’t breathe even when he was sitting on the corner in cuffs. Officer body cams will be interesting

I'm not pissed and I don't care... it simply doesn't matter, since it wasn't cited as a cause of death.

Where is the outcry and protests for all these life destroying drugs on our streets? China initiated at that.

Arbery was involved in criminal conduct as was stated in that thread several times. No one is saying the officer putting his knee on the back is ok, you simply want to dismiss every other fact that will play into the court case.

Not a lib. Also not opposed to saying he was high if he was high. Why are some opposed to simply admitting it's more likely than not he'd be alive if not for a police officer putting his knee in the man's neck for 8-9 minutes in a clear case of excessive force? Sensitive subject?

It is literally indisputable it was homicide at this point. It is irrelevant what drugs he had in his system.

Um try again. The autopsy stated fentanyl and meth. It was clear from the earlier videos that he had likely ingested a full baggie of meth. Guess what that does to your already drug ridden heart? Doesn’t mean the officer wasn’t wrong, but don’t make up facts either

An autopsy stated fentanyl and meth were in Floyd's system. Did the autopsy state how long the fentanyl or meth had been in his system? Was there a trace amount or was there a significant amount in his system at the time of death? After Floyd was obviously subdued did the amount of meth or fentanyl in his system justify the officer hanging out for photos with his knee on Mr. Floyd's carotid artery?

lmao Arbery was not. At most, his "criminal conduct" was trespass, which given the statements of the home owner does not hold up. Certainly did not meet the GA criteria for a citizen's arrest.

When I see bull ****, I'm gonna call bull ****. And you sir are shoveling some grade A bull ****.

At least they had the decency to put orange cones around the bricks indicating a trip and fall hazard.

Seems like they went out of their way to promote the safe storage of the asset.

Also, by a show of hands - who among us believes that Soros and his minions legitimately have a strategic stockpile of the 'throwing' bricks?

Agree... that cop needs to be help responsible along with his partners that stood by. Some here seem to be sensitive to his physical condition (i.e., drugs). Maybe they feel the cop will get off due to some link back to the use of illegal drugs.
