Floyd saying “I can’t breathe” was a way of resisting arrest!?

    I don't think so. he was also saying it when he was in the back of the police car all by himself.

    My understanding is that he swallowed all the drugs he had on him so that the cops would not find them. He said as much.

    Apparently the man was telling the truth. He's dead now I think that the people that killed him should face a trial for murder and the people that should be his jury should be the same color as Floyd

    No, it was a cry for help. So much for cops protecting and serving.

    Saying I can't breath means you are actually, breathing. Nope, his way of resisting arrest was kicking and banging enough in the back of the car, that he was going to hurt something,someone, or himself. But from your questions, I'm going to guess that trashing the back of that car, possible breaking out a window or too, is Ok.

    No, George fighting the police outside the cop car, then fighting them inside, and being put on the ground where he escaped on the other side of the police car is George Floyd resisting arrest. Did you not see the videos? There is even a shot of him swallowing a little white baggy when the police begin questioning him.

    There was a lot more to that incident and arrest than the 9.5 minutes that he was in custody and Chauvin kneeling on him.

    I'm not saying Chauvin is innocent or guilty.  I'm just saying you have to take in the whole picture from the moment the officers arrived until Floyd was taken away by the paramedics.

    If he couldn't breathe he wouldn't be able to talk. black people and leftists are so unbelievably stupid.

    No. It was a way of calling out for help. Cops are there to protect and serve, not act as judge, jury, and exicutioner.
