Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Any idea why we can't see the George Floyd bodycam footage?

We get to see a transcript but not the video...

Transcript is quite interesting...he was complaining he was claustrophobic and couldn't breathe long before he was on the ground. Basically in full panic mode...

My sense after reading this that the video footage would tell a very different story of what happened than we have been told.

    Probably something bad in there for everybody. Maybe evidence of acquaintance, which is bad for officer in terms of charges and bad for the racial narrative.

    One of the attorneys for the other cops wants the footage released. We all know if the video was damaging against the cops it would have been released as quickly as the Wendy’s criminal who was killed in Atlanta.

    It would be a shame if the looming mass death due to huge crowds was for nothing

    Breonna Taylor would have been the ideal martyr if not for the cop who killed her being black. Even though they were being fired at by her boyfriend.

    George Floyd was a felon loser who was high on Fet and meth when he does but it was a white guy with the knee on the back when George’s heart exploded.

    The knee was on the back of his neck . . . Certainly must have been a clusterF by the four policemen trying to get him in the police car and ending up on the other side of car and still requiring three of them to hold him (restrain him) down. Lots of missing video between Point A (handcuffed Floyd being escorted to police cruiser) to Point B (Floyd on the ground on opposite side of car with three officers holding him down.

    Probably doesn't fit the story being pushed at this point. Democrats run the place and they are manipulating everything they can for their own reasons.

    We saw the Atlanta body cams right away because it was a justified shooting.

    ClusterF not the right description. There was a lengthy? struggle between a Big man (who was very high) and the four police officers sans any video footage, including body cams.

    There 10 million arrests a year. About a 1000 people die from being killed by a cop 90% of those people killed were armed. The media hates meaningful stats.

    Not only 10 million arrests but probably close 100 police contacts with citizens.
