I knew when I was watching it that his days would be numbered. It’s very hard to be on Floyd’s side if you know or see anything about the arrest or Floyd. I originally was willing to throw the cop under the bus, but after seeing the arrest video changed my mind. I’m open to him going down for manslaughter maybe, but he was doing as taught, and Floyd started saying he couldn’t breath from the moment the arrested him while he was in his own damn car at the wheel. He wouldn’t stop saying it the whole time. There’d be no reason for the cop to suddenly take it seriously when he was on the ground at his own request, and he clearly could breath because he wouldn’t shut up. Bad optics to be sure, and maybe he was on the ground for too long, I don’t know, but the cop clearly wasn’t trying to murder the guy. Most importantly, it very clearly wasn’t a racial thing. The lady in the car was as black or more than Floyd, and everybody was super nice to everybody, even to Floyd.

On top of that, Floyd’s a piece of shit. I almost feel more sorry for the cop than him at this point. Him dying probably made the world a better place, sans the aftermath of it due to the out of context video people pushed. Him dying was the best thing to ever happen to his family. His daughter might have a future now.
