It was twice what a family received after their 12 year old son was killed as a bystander in a park
Her death was an unfortunate side effect of an exchange of fire in a confined space. No one set out to shoot her, let alone kill her. And about the only consequence of the mob reaction was that one of the officers involved lost his job.
Alot is said in the media and twittersphere/facebook about the fact that people, particularly blacks, who are killed/wounded by police are because of their colour and that they are victims. The reality is that they are more often than not known to the police/have outstanding warrants/history of violence and in the overwhelming majority of cases are armed and resisting arrest... But you never hear about that.
Derek Chauvin didn't need to kneel on George Floyds neck at all*, let alone for eight minutes, but the episode that led Floyd to be laid out on the ground, (having already been placed safely in the car... he was struggling to breathe in the car), may well have seen him collapse in the car. Had the officers chosen to keep him in the car then he may have survived. Their biggest failing was seeing the episode as resisting rather than what it was, a panicking person fighting to breathe from a drug induced overreaction to his arrest. Again this was in the car BEFORE he was on the ground.
And none of it was ANY justification for all the anarchic lunacy that has happened since. For example, there hasn't been a single night since that hasn't seen rioting in Portland.
All the pandering by misguided idiots like Lewis and the rest of his woke comrades does is to justify the outrageous behaviour of the mob.
* whether this was a deliberate act or one of complacent indifference/contempt is for the courts and God to decide and not something that can be in anyway justified, although in the heat of the moment it is understandable that it could happen, especially if a person appears to be resisting arrest.
