Slynation: Pls can you argue based ön fact? And stop insulting. The truth is bitter. As a lawyer, i can assure you that no one can prove that the officer is a racist, because the crime was not a racial crime. Neither can any one prove that the officer murder mr floyd, because he uses legal and cönstitutional backed means of arrest, which has been widely used in the states for years. Infact the only crime that the officer can be accused of is NEGLIGENT, and as such he has to pay for damages in tort of breach or failure in administering his duty of care as of the time of the incident. Law is blind to the emotion of the masses. Law deals with fact such as it has been proven that late mr floyd was a fraudstar(counterfit money) & an overdosed drug addict who refuses to enter a police car. i feel sorry for floyd But i deal with fact |

Some death are worth dieing, Jesus Christ died and give us salvation, this guy died and gave his family better life. It's better to die like this than watching your wife and children suffer in abject poverty. I rather die trying than to be poor in life |

Police brutality is expensive that’s what they don’t realize. And they keep doing it because the money for the settlements doesn’t come from their funding, it comes out of the pockets of tax payers like me. So we all have contributed money to George Floyd’s family through our taxes that indirectly funds that settlement. Meanwhile idiot police (such as the man that killed him) get to retire with full benefits and their association is not financially impacted in any way. That’s why they’ll never stop. 4 Likes 1 Share |

uunwanaobong3: You said you are a lawyer.... I'm a layman. I disagree with most of what you had to say. Was Mr Floyd on drug overdose when he died? Yes the medical report say so. Is drug overdose the same as being under the influence of drug? When someone has OD'd.... is the person conscious like Floyd was?.... or is the person unconscious/dead? Was the report accurate? The medical report .... do you mean the Medical Examiner's Report? That one tells the cause of death.... and you're saying the cause of death was drug overdose.... had nothing to do with the knee on the neck.... he just happened to OD at that point. Did the officer intend to kill Mr Floyd? Yes... but intent is difficult to prove in court... the reason why the charge is not murder. Was the officer acting outside the law? Yes he was.... no law or technicalities allow an officer to kneel on someone's neck period.... subdued or not. Mr Floyd was already subdued... hand cuffed... not resisting.... and your legal knowledge and common sense tells you it was legal for the officer to keep kneeling on his neck. What is Mr Floyd's offence?.....using of counterfeit money. And what should the Police do? Why is the State compensating a criminal? Who is being compensated? Why was the officer accusedof racism for doing his work? Officers there are known to be racists... and that was not part of his work. He is not on murder one charge.... to most it was murder... but to those who see Blacks as mere animals... it is not. As a lawyer... why do you think the City decided to settle with the family and not go to trial? Feel free to pretend you did not read any of this. 4 Likes |

The5DME: It is the city that is paying the money and not the part of government aka IRS from state and federal that taxes people. Also, wrongfull death settlements are classified by IRS as personal injury or physical illness claims and are therefore non-taxable. 3 Likes |

banmee: Young man, before i argue with you further, HAVE YOU READ THE POLICE ACT of that state? Do you know that choke hold or pin down is widely and commonly used in almost all the states in america for decades? As i said before, law does not care about the emotions/sentiment of the masses or political opinion or woke culture or media.......... Law deals with undeniable facts, full and comprehensive evidence and the constitution. |

The argument from some of you who claimed to be well informed or experts is pathetic. Just turn the situation around. A Black cop knee on the neck of a white man. You will see another race riot that destroyed Black Wall Street. 2 Likes |

uunwanaobong3: Do you even understand what a choke hold or pin down is? I hold a level 3 combative ranking and there is nothing legal about pinning your opponent down by kneeling on their neck. Except of course if you want to kill him. You can put a choke hold on a person by wrapping your arm around someone's neck in order to restrain them temporarily or put them to sleep by cutting off blood flow around the neck to the brain. And you have to know what the phuck you are doing to even try that. Dude stop googling rubbish and stick with what you know. And bros, you can pin down a culprit with your knee on their back not their neck. 5 Likes |

Enoch07: Funny thing is that he was an absentee father. He didn't take care of his children. His youngest daughter of 6yrs did not even know him. A son of about 20 years last saw him when he was 5. He was also a porn star. Nevertheless, no one deserved to die so horribly. At least, the children's lives will be bettered with this money. 2 Likes |

uunwanaobong3: What course did you say you studied? Law? They taught you this in your school? What's the name of the school again? You had 3-4 colleagues arresting one person. You handcuffed him and it wasn't enough, you still chose to kneel on his neck despite pleas from him that he couldn't breathe. For your information, Mr Lawyer, that's called excessive use of force and murder is also on the table with the other officers acting as accomplices since it happened under their watch and they did nothing to restrain the insane officer. Thats why I am against ASUU strike. 4 Likes |

The family wants justice. And the family doesn't want this to happen to someone else's son. Money doesn't address the issue. If anything, this large payout may positively impact policing because no city wants to cut these checks. But that's not enough. There needs to be accountability and reform. Police serve and protect the public. That officer made a decision not to do that, not a mistake or split second choice, but a decision. We see time and time again that they have no problem doing the right thing when oyinbos are involved. |
