Watching A Murder

Many people say we need to wait until all the facts come out before making a judgment in the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I disagree. The image of a cop, who has had many complaints against him but never disciplined kneeling with his knee on the neck of this black man is enough. What preceded it does not matter. That is excessive force, especially since the “crime” the man MAY have committed is not a violent one. Word is, he remained in that position, with his knee on the man’s neck for a full five minutes. That tells me the man’s death was NOT an accident. He was MURDERED while the world watched. The four cops involved have now been fired, but that’s not enough. They should be charged with premeditated murder and convicted. Riots and looting are not a proper response. The businesses so looted are not to blame for the murderous actions of those cops. The “powers that be” need to act quickly to charge these cops, or the city will suffer more damage from further riots. Further delay in doing so is unconscionable. (Just common sense)
