I'm not trying to say the officer acted properly or not - just that I haven't seen all the evidence. My gut feeling is that the officer unnecessarily killed someone, but I'm in no position to say for sure. If he is guilty, all three four are.
Edited: Should be obvious where

There needs to be quick and speedy trial. Not a kangaroo curt but we won't be able to move beyond the protests and the violence until it is done. We are nation divided and that is not about Black, White, Red, Yellow or Brown. It is about power and money. We are all being manipulated. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Have you seen the several videos, from different angles? They're online. In all that I've seen, I've not seen one that showed Mr. Floyd resisting. The most devastating video is 10 mins. long and was taken by a young girl. 4 cops on on top of him, he's cuffed, face down on the pavement. The cops are telling him to get up and get in the car but, HE CAN'T MOVE, he's pinned to the ground. It was almost as though they were taunting him. He's crying out, because he can't breath and not one cop says or does a damn thing. Why didn't they just put him in the car? 7 mins in, Mr. Floyd becomes totally unresponsive yet, the cop kept his full body weight pressing down on Mr. Floyd's neck for the last 3 mins, with his hand comfortably tucked into his pocket as people begged him to get off. Mr Floyd has a little girl who will have to live the rest of her life not only without her daddy but,with the awful images of him dying on camera as people begged for the cops to stop. My heart breaks for her. BTW, the cop pressing his knee into Mr. Floyd's neck has at least 18 complaints filed against him for abusive behavior toward people of color. This makes me want to believe his intent was clear...He wanted to kill Mr. Floyd.

Those doing those things are in the minority. The majority are there for the right reasons. There're always punks that use these events for their own agenda.

Not defending bad behavior as this could have all been avoided if the cops simply did their job. I feel for my brothers in blue. Bad cops put them all at risk and their jobs are hard enough as it is.

It certainly looks like the officer is in the wrong, but I've seen a lot of things that turned out to be different than what they first appeared to be. I'm willing to wait until all the evidence is in. If an investigation/trial shows he is guilty, I would not be against a sentence of capital punishment - and the officers that stood by and did nothing are culpable as well.

Here are a few thoughts and truths that I have come across. I hope that you can find empathy, but hope has only gotten us here today:

Don't get me wrong I am not about fighting evil with evil but with extreme righteousness. The bad actors are just that and then there are thos that are just tiered of it all. How many of us have to die before real change occurs. I can tell you so many stories of what I have witnessed, prejudice being aimed at my parents and myself. I have heard their stories. My dad was born in 1906 so his stories and lessons ring loud in my ear. My grandmother on my mom's side also told us of her experiences. Even with all of that my parents thought me and two brothers to judge people as we would want to be judged and that is by our character. It is why I love this forum. We are as diverse as the country we live in and love and community abound. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Far to light. The other 3 should be charged with murder 3 for standing by and letting it happen. The one who did it should get the chair, or dropped into one of these riots naked.
