'Kay smart guy: What do you call it when you suffocate someone to death with your knee on their neck?
Depends on the facts, if you intend to kill someone it is murder and if you don't intend to kill someone it is doing something you didn't intended that left someone murdered because of you.
You’re trying to be sarcastic about how the media and bootlickers use the passive voice, right? “X murdered Y” vs. “Y died, X’s knee was in the vicinity.”
I think these other commenters are jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Yes, might be better to use /s behind it but i refuse to put it there only so people read beyond the first line. I dont care about downvotes, and some of those might come from people who read everything but did not understand my message, that could be my fault, but so many people start writing a comment or downvote something without even reading the whole thing. Those people lead lives full of emotions they gave themselves. They want to be angry about something and will fire at anyone who seems a valid target. People who jump to conclusion do really hurt themselves and especially their world view, because they only see what they want to see.
He was already cuffed and in the cruiser. They stopped, took him out and killed him after he was already fully in custody.
bootlicker, go back to Reddit.
He looked dead inside when he was on George Floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes. There's also better ways much better ways to restrain someone. There's two-point restrain methods and they could've done a four-point because there was two officers there, they could've held his legs and his arms, they could've shackled higls ankles and made him walk slowly to the vehicle; They could've done anything else.
They didn't have a reason to do a neck restraint. A neck restraint just isn't chill, unless the person is a terrorist then give em the neck knee.. 😋
You can deadly things without intent to murder someone. I didn't say he wasn't murdered. I'm taking the piss they consider intent 'a fact' that can be proven.
Literally nobody believes your racist bullshit anymore.
It's not racist bullshit. You just didn't read more then the first line. Like most people in the internet i guess
See like this sorta bullshit used to work too. You've used up your benefit of the doubt.
