Re: Cop broke the windows at Autozone which sparked riots across America
Rationalizing somebody being murdered for passing a fake $20 bill... That's a new low even for this infected colon of the forum.

What evidence backs your assertion that he was resisting arrest? Or are you just taking the cops' word for it?
He was handcuffed when he fell to the ground and then got a knee to the neck -- he wasn't exactly going anywhere. I just have to wonder what the fuck is wrong with anyone who would attempt to justify the behavior of the police in this situation.

The Minneapolis corner market where a store clerk called police on a George Floyd over an alleged fake $20 bill before his fatal arrest will no longer call police when they suspect counterfeit money, unless the situation turns violent...
"Everyone that knew George knew him as very friendly, very kind, caring, jovial"...
It's very possible that Floyd may never have known the bill he handed over was fake, according to experts...

Something is screwed in the quotes above. Here's what I had to say about the entire fiasco.
It's reasonable to point out that the victim was, in fact, a bad guy.
But this remains an incident where the bad guy, being arrested, should have been treated with respect.
