AS IF people on here wouldn't be outraged that their husband or father was choked to death in police custody while initially resisting arrest.

In every other civilized country, resisting arrest is not a death sentence, and use of force is extremely regulated. Look up deaths in police custody in other first-world countries - practically nil.

America is both the wealthiest country in the world, yet one of the most barbaric (no gun control, outrageously expensive healthcare and medications, no social safety net). To me as a European, it's a cognitive dissonance I have difficulty reconciliating.

The proliferation of guns is the reason you see brutality. The job of a cop here is highly stressful and dangerous. [/quote]

Maybe, but FLoyd didn't have a gun, Police are trained as first responders, and so often, they ditch that training and go right to violence. That has to change.[/quote]

No but he was fighting arrest even after reasonable accommodation was offered. And in this case they didn’t immediately resort to violence. [/quote]
