and then the crowd came pointing fingers and distracting the police
who then stand in place to make sure the crowd does not advance
and Floyd was held down too long
I say......the crowd killed Floyd
they should have stayed back
and Floyd would have been in the car....soooooooo much quicker
and not dead

Are you saying that counterfeiters deserve to be put to death?

Do they deserve to be killed, in your opinion, or not?

you don't get to rewrite the situation
And excessive police force in the arrest is justified by the illegality of the action?
So, if you are speeding and arrested, and the officer kills you by putting his knee over your throat, that is justified?

It's not a hard question. Is it moral for police to kill a counterfeiter?
Assuming Floyd was guilty of that charge (which should be a matter for a court), the video shows he was NOT resisting arrest. He was pleading to breathe.
Attempting to breathe and struggling to do so is NOT resisting arrest!

the cop will stay in place as long as people are too close to continue the arrest
if you end up on your face
and the crowd is too close
too bad for you
yep....It's true
Sorry, but that is not how it should work. The police are there to protect and serve. Using excessive force and killing someone by suffocation is not justified no matter what the crime was that was committed.

"Resisting arrest" is an odd way of describing "begging for your life and urinating on yourself."

It works that way with or without your approval
maybe you haven't seen enough arrest scenarios
cops say.....stay back
you should do that

What should happen is reasonable force. Anything can happen, which is why we are where we are.
It's interesting that the US is the country with this problem. You don't see it in the UK or France, for example.
Why is that? Well, partly it is a police culture that is precisely what you are describing. And that culture needs to change.
