overdose
I've had enough of this.
Floyd pissed off the wrong people. He neglected to pay off the right officials. He was targeted for a hit. And... people complained.
He probably didn't have many friends, but as a high-profile member of a tight-knit community, he had more influence than would most persons in that position. And, like Kennedy, whatever he did to be annoying enough to be whacked, it was deemed to be appropriate to do it in public.
It's not like it was an "accident." There's video with the guy trying to breathe. Says he can't breathe. Well, why not let him up? Why not let him... like, stand up?
"Company policy." Whatever. It was an excuse. There's lots of ways to restrain someone, and in that case, a restraint was chosen that involved him face down into asphalt, pressure-squeezed until he expired. It's a real technique. It'll kill anyone. It'll kill them slow. The lungs get overtired while underproviding oxygen--ah, oxygen, sweet, sweet oxygen, o how I adore thee--and after awhile, the ability of the body to nourish itself through respiration... fails.
It wasn't an accident. He was taken out. It was supposed to be publicly visible. It wasn't supposed to be such a big deal. What, some guy dies while "resisting." What's the pig deal? Maybe he shouldn't have resisted proper authority. Maybe he should have let himself get jammed up by corporate thuggery--I'll tell you what it was, someone else who wanted to sell drugs, wanted him out of the way, because he was apparently known for being, relatively, nice and reasonable.
Nice. Reasonable. TAKE HIM OUT. DO IT SO PEOPLE KNOW, WE MEAN BUSINESS. It's really how these things work in the world.
Now in this individual case, which I really know very little about, I couldn't say whether the guy needed to be killed or not. In that world, the underworld--a world that I know by way of travel & traffick, not just by reputation & education--there's lot of reasons that a "nice" person might well deserve to be terminated. That's the deal--live by the sword, die by the sword.
I remember reading "traces of fentanyl" in his system. Well, that's an interesting thing to put in a news report--what's the relevance? Well, largely because it's supposed to paint the character of the victim in a harsh, negative light. Ooooh. That's a drug. Drugs are bad, okay?
No, it's not fucking okay. There is a black market in the world, and there will always be one. To prohibit completely, certain categories of commerce, look, that's been tried. People want what they want, and who are other people to say otherwise? I am an adult, G-ddam it, I dont need the Ghost of Richard Nixon to tell me that there's no medicinal value in LSD-25, for example. I don't live my life according to science that was obsolete before I was born. Cannabis was on the Schedule I, and in fact, still is: "No Medicinal Value."
Sure, Jan. You know what? Fuck you, Jan. The Constitution doesn't say that some gang of thuggie little piggies gets to decide how much of this that and the other is "okay" for your freedoms, no. It says that it is the duty of each citizen to obey just laws, and to disobey unjust laws.
You just spent the last year wearing diapers on your face and allowing yourself to be dosed by an intern with a needle, and that's grand. That's fine. Oh, but that's only because a doctor says so. No human on the face of the planet could ever dose themselves with a needle unless a doctor is supervising. Oh, unless it's insulin--that one is "okay" to use at home alone at home. Because "we" said so.
Fuck you, little thuggie piggie doctors. These people think they know everything they need to know, which for some segments of society, what they need to know is, where the loopholes are, when to use them to get around pesky obstacles like human decency, and why do anything at all?
For some people, life is all about taking advantage over others. It's not as satisfying to acquire something, unless it is taken from someone to deprive them of it first. It does seem strange to me, as I've never chosen the exeperience of lack to be given to another. But then again, I am not in a position of authority, so I don't know what kind of pressures such deciders are.
But we know what kind of pressure Floyd was under, because there was a camera there. Why did the camera get left alone? The kneeler is right there, he sees the camera, he knows it's on him, he doesn't stop. He doesn't let up. He gets filmed while the guy he is sitting on slowly expires.
Of course he knows the camera is there. The camera is part of the op. He's like Zapruder. These cameras are not there by accident, there's not much use in taking out the lead black market competitor... if the public doesn't know it even happened. It's called marketing, folks.
A drug addict has a heart attack while in police custody. Let’s burn the country down! 
Well, he certainly wasn’t slowly choked to death over the course of ten minutes because that’s not how choking works. It happens a lot quicker than that. 
You have
got to be paid for this. These jokes aren't even
funny. Neck yourself, heathen.
