    Eight minutes and fourty six seconds. There is no excuse for holding your knee on a person's neck for eight minutes and fourty six seconds. There is no excuse for doing it after he says that he can't breathe. There is no excuse for doing it after those around you tell you to cut it out. There is especially no excuse for continuing to do it for minutes after he became motionless. Honestly, I'm not sure how else to explain to you that you should care about other human lives even when those people are high or not in the best place in life. George Floyd was murdered by a police officer pinning him in a choke hold for eight minutes and fourty six seconds and "he did drugs" or "he didn't listen to the police" is not a sane explanation. I'm really not sure what else to tell you when you believe that it's "reasonable" for the police to choke a man to death for eight minutes and fourty six seconds because he was "high as a kite".
