And crying for his mother. That's the mental note that's frozen in my mind right now.
And how he is dead. People are rallying, people are protesting. He is still dead. For a bad check.
- whymauri 6y agoIt wasn't until Killer Mike's speech in Atlanta that the gravitas of what George Floyd was saying while he was on the ground really hit me. >When a man yells for his mother, in duress and pain, and she is dead, he is essentially yelling "please God, don't let it happen to me." [0] I don't know if I'm just so tired and desensitized at this point that the situation didn't register the first time I saw the picture and transcript (I won't watch the video). And I think that's awful. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxHWVJYXkeU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxHWVJYXkeU
- lordnacho 6y ago> And crying for his mother. I think this is a very common story among soldiers who've seen a comrade get killed. People cry out for comfort in their last minutes.
- 14 6y agoI think the part you missed is this was not for a bad check. People are upset because he was profiled and falsely accused of writing a bad check. Then ultimately killed using justification of false accusations.
- xboxnolifes 6y agoEven being falsely accused is almost irrelevant here. Someone was killed in a police encounter over a bad check, falsely accused or not. It's not like a false accusations of murder or some aggregated assault. It's a case of a bad check.
