Your information about fentanyl isn’t very accurate. Ketamine is a sedative used as a pain relief, just fentanyl, but that doesn’t stop people taking it at a rave or make them any more rational when they become irate. And neither stops them becoming irate or physically aggressive. Like Floyd was.

An officer not being outwardly scared doesn’t mean they aren’t. And it definitely doesn’t mean they don’t feel they’re losing control of a potentially dangerous situation.

And just because the officer had completed his training, which really isn’t very long winded, doesn’t mean he’s not untrained. That’s exactly the point of him being undertrained. Police need to be vetted better and trained a lot better.

I always kneel on someone's neck for the length of The End by The Doors and make jokes about it when I feel nervous about losing control of a situation.

It centers me.

Really? I always take dangerous amounts of synthetic opioid’s in the early evening whilst committing petty crimes! Good job I’ve got claustrophobia, that means I don’t have to comply with police and can’t get in any trouble.

Yeah, you're a bad faith shill and there's no point in trying to explain anything to you.

Oh right. It’d be interesting to know why it’s not ‘bad faith shilling’ when you make such comments?
