You can trash George Floyd for being an ex-con with a drug problem who resisted arrest (not that it will get you anywhere), but doing that while simultaneously calling Ashli Babbitt "innocent" is not judging the two cases by the same standard.https://twitter.com/bellausa17/status/1412613142253817859 …

You're right, Dan, except you're missing the point: there *is* a standard by which the killing of Floyd is more defensible. It's an abhorrent, risible standard, but it's right there in her tweet. Just say what it is.

Hint: it has nothing to do with the situation the officer was presented with or the conduct of the suspect in the moment - and everything to do with who she thinks is fully human and worthy of respect as a human being.

Except Floyd was not "killed by cops". He suffered a medical condition, and the worst accusation that could be made that is factual is that the police failed to help him, and even compromised his situation by requiring him to remain prone and kneeling on him.

Personally. Babbit’s death is infinitely more defensible as justified use of force than George Floyd.

wasn't the killing of Babbitt deliberate? 'Killing' of Floyd would have been secondary effects from a sanctioned restraining technique, used in police training. & I'm not sure it was proven that that's what exclusively caused his death
-
(A) It doesn’t need to be “exclusive,” (B) the problem with the sanctioned technique argument is that it doesn’t explain why it went on for nearly 9 minutes, well after Floyd ceased struggling and was in medical distress.

Babbitt was actively engaging in criminal behavior when she was shot while Floyd was restrained and in custody when he was suffocated by law enforcement; how do you draw an equivalency between their deaths?

I don't think the cases are similar at all.
-
I am not saying that they are. I am just saying the killing of Babbitt was FAR more justified than the killing of Floyd. The Babbitt killing appears to be 99+% justified while the killing of Floyd was found to be murder.
