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.

I would be outraged at my husband or father if they resisted arrest. [/quote]

The GUY WAS CLEARLY HAVING A PANIC ATTACK when they were trying to place him in the car. When they had him on the ground, he appears to calm down and stop resisting. I have been arrested before, and I can tell you it is frightening. [b]Just cause he’s a black man you think he should be accustomed to getting arrested, familiar with getting in the back of a police car?  [/b]When I was arrested, I passed out in the police station when they said they were about to put me in a cell. [/quote]

I never said that.     Why are you making up lies?   Was that why you were arrested, some type of dishonest behavior?

Actually George Floyd WAS accustomed to getting arrested.   It has nothing to do with him being a black man and everything to do with his actions.

But we aren't talking about his previous arrests (YOU were the one that brought it up.)   I wasn't even talking about George Floyd.

I was talking about MY family members and the standards I think they should hold, and the way I would feel about them if they didn't.  A pp (not sure if it was you or not) tried to say how EVERYONE would feel about something, and I said I would feel different.[/quote]

Stop with the dramatics. No one lied on you. And I never said you said anything, why are making up lies?  I asked you a question. You think Mr. Floyd should be so accustomed to getting arrested that, this time should’ve been no big deal right? You don’t know what he was accustomed to. Look, no one wants to get arrested, and obviously you shouldn’t resist.  Mr. Floyd was maybe on high on drugs, and maybe having a panic/anxiety attack, so he didn’t make the best decision, but that shouldn’t lead to his death. The police are supposed to de-escalate. Mr. Chauvin had many opportunities to do that and he didn’t.

And I was arrested for protesting something I believed in at a rally in a small Alabama town. There 18 hours and I was scared as hell. Black woman in a police station filled with white policemen. I did not feel safe at all. [/quote]
