> "the guy was a criminal anyway"

He violated 6 or 7 criminal things.

I'm on the civil rights and free speech maxxing side, but this was clearly a criminal in the act of actively criminaling.

The danger here is in crying wolf when this isn't a case of rights being violated for a non-perpetrator. This guy was willfully breaking laws left and right.

Don't cry wolf. We need that energy elsewhere.

The part where he sustained a head injury during arrest and was denied medical help is definitely a violation of his rights. The rest ... yeah

		Yeah - even if George Floyd’s arrest was lawful, arresting him in using such violent force he died is certainly not. Saying “well he was a bad guy and had done bad things” doesn’t justify inflicting head injuries or holding a roadside execution.
