(15,535 posts)the gentleman in the video was trying to save Floyd's life by telling him that he can't win and that he should get up and get in the car. Then, after Floyd was murdered right in front of him, he talked to Chauvin and told him that he didn't have a problem with Chauvin - because he feared for his life, not because he thought what Chauvin had done was okay.
I don't know why I am contributing this to the thread - I just wanted to know the fact that the contributor felt the need to explain this because she knew some people wouldn't understand.

(16,290 posts)And I cannot even begin to know their pain. Watching a man die right in front of you for no other reason except he was murdered. IMO. Seems some are gonna need some professional counseling..anything set up for them? Maybe they should sue, too. These cops who get off from prosecution should never enjoy their lives again w/o restitutions
