The powers that be want this. Turn it to cnn for a few minutes. They are pushing this. Hell the cops arrested a business owner protecting his store. Facing murder charges now. Yet the rioters are off limits. Disgusting.I think the powers that be don't yet fully understand that this is not going to be the average case of murder by the police they can just sweep under the rug and hope the public forgets about it.
Lots more that are not in any way involved in the rioting are sitting on the sidelines a bit happy that somebody finally decided to do something, even if they are disgusted by the actions of the folks doing the current rioting.

Authorities on Friday identified the only person whose death has so far been connected to the unrest that has persisted since George Floyd died Monday after his curbside detention in Minneapolis.
Calvin L. Horton Jr., 43, of Minneapolis, was fatally shot outside a pawnshop Wednesday night on East Lake Street near S. Bloomington Avenue, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office.
Horton suffered wounds to his chest and other upper extremities, the examiner's office announced.
A 59-year-old man from Galesville, Wis., who owns Cadillac Jewelry, was arrested that night and remains jailed ahead of possible murder charges. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
I'm pretty sure that if you deprive the heart of oxygen, you will induce cardiac arrest.
If they find an underlying condition......maybe they will. Kneeling on a neck is an approved detention/control technique? Effective no doubt but as an arrest technique? Is this true?
VooDoo
If kneeling on someone's neck is an approved technique then I think all law enforcement needs to be retrained. Choke holds and kneeling on necks is a death sentence and has been for a long time. Lots of people have been killed this way.
Studied/taught a lot of Jujutsu, Aikijutsu, Aikido, etc and that kneeling on the neck technique is not an arresting technique. It's a killing technique or at the very least a last resort for someone who simply will not be detained/arrested.
Nothing in this arrest video suggests to me that he needed to be detained in this manner. Then again, I wasn't there...but the video makes it look really bad.
VooDoo
That “technique” - Using a knee to apply pressure to the neck, as I was taught is a way to briefly control someone who is really trying to get up and you don’t need or want to hit them (more than you already did) not a way to secure indefinitely while you wait to move them
Perhaps I was poorly trained, never used the technique but I know a downside of it now
