#1 I haven't seen any proof that the knee on the neck was the cause of death.

How's about we get all the autopsy reports before making such canonical statements.

I have no love for current police tactics on many levels, including the knee on the neck but I'm just as concerned with jumping to conclusions.

#2 /\ Precisely what this whole rioting travesty (and politician comments) is all about, jumping to conclusions.

Yes, that a-hole cop had his knee on the poor guy's neck. But, was that the cause of death or merely associated with his death? Methinks the authorities are terrified to produce the autopsy report as, you know, many people out there can't handle the truth.

Never really realized just what a mess Minnesota is when you lump it all together with AG Ellison, that limp-Richard mayor of Minneapolis, former senator Al Franken, and that POS whacko Somalian congresswoman. I'm sure the governor is a real winner, too.

#4 Clem, the police are responsible for the safety of people in their custody. Those assholes didn't bother doing ANYTHING right. They had him restrained, but kept him pinned and kept pressure on his neck. They should have had him at least sitting up on the ground, or gotten him into a cruiser.

YouTuber Donut Operator had a great video on this; it was mostly an active duty cop explaining how disgusted he was at the way the Minneapolis cops behaved. Both spend a lot of time looking at the entire story and as much evidence as they can; Donut has debunked previous "police abuse" videos. This was the fault of the police.

Because it might not fit the MSM narrative.
