From what you seem to be implying, you think I am trying to excuse the behavior of that rogue cop. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let's use this as a hypothetical example. A 17 year old girl is crossing the street while texting her boyfriend, blissfully unaware of surrounding traffic. A drunk driver barrels down the street through two red lights and kills her. Her distraction in no ways mitigates his crime, but had she been focused on the street, instead of her smartphone, she would still be alive. In the case of George Floyd, his death was clearly a criminal act, but had he been healthier, he might still be alive, had he not resisted, he probably would still be alive, and had he not engaged in a life of drug abuse and crime, he definitely would still be alive.
