Usually there is an attempt to besmirch a black man's reputation in order to justify why he was killed, but nothing like that is happening. here. Everyone is either bitching at the protestors for rioting or cursing at the 4 police officers. I have never seen anything like this.

I have a few friends and relatives on FB who have a tendency to post Blue Lives Matter stuff and try to victim blame, but in this scenario, they all have blatantly called this a murder with no "Let's wait for the facts" shit.

Despite the horrible situation, it's honestly refreshing to see.

There would be a lot of happy people who are praying for that to be the case so they can validate their racist assumptions.

I mean, nothing should change even if that's the case. We have him on video begging for the officer to stop pressing on his neck. How they got to that end point doesn't matter IMO.

Because this case is clear cut. Unlike most others where you and question and seek more information.

I don't think anyone will defend a cop, who is kneeing on a man's neck who has already been cuffed and for 8 minutes while the man begged to breathe.

no, the narrative has initially been that Floyd was this forger who was resisting arrest, and evidence has shown that he wasn't actually resisting, and that he likely unknowingly used the counterfeit bill.

On the day of the incident, Abumayyaleh said Floyd came in with a man and a woman.
The man tried to use what an employee suspected was a counterfeit $20 bill but an employee caught it, gave it back to the man and they left, Abumayyaleh said. Roughly 10 minutes later, Floyd came back in the store and used a suspicious $20 bill, according to the owner.
The employee didn't immediately notice and Floyd left but the employee followed protocol and called the police. Floyd was still outside the store when officers arrived.

Perhaps the store should stop calling the cops

Police aren't Judge Dredd. Extrajudicial killings and brutality by police should be discouraged at all times. I dont care if the perp was Hannibal Lectur, if he's in custody with cuffs on then there is no justification for police violence.

This strategy is funny. Cause it makes the persons perspective make Officers out to be incompetent infants. Abd they don't even realize it. They talk about the officers like they're defending their 4 year old that beat up another 4 year old at daycare. Just looking to blame everything other than their child. Officers should not be coddled like a 4 year old lol.

If calling the cops on someone ran the risk of being charged with attempted murder, they wouldn't do it yes, but it would also embolden actually bad people into doing something if they knew there was a small chance they'd be reported.

definitely.

I know the dude's trolling, but there are people who, for whatever reasons, do whatever they can to shift the blame from the wrongdoer to another party, whether it's to the victim, or somebody else.
