It shouldn’t really matter. Because if it was a black individual, no context would be needed before racism would be thrown out.

I thought kneeling on someone's neck was wrong, are you saying it's only wrong under certain circumstances?
Which we can't answer until we have details. Is the victim alive? Were they actually compressing his airway or pinning him? Were they wrestling a weapon away from him? What happened to the cops if he was injured or killed?
Neck restraints like that are actually allowed by many police departments, provided you stop once it's no longer necessary. We can debate the ethical implications of it, but again, need details before comparing these two cases.
Originally posted by tru-marvellso it’s only a problem if he dies right? Not the fact he has 2 people knelt on his neck. You know if the roles was reversed there would be hell to pay and to say otherwise Is a lie. And before you pull the victim card/say I’m racist as I’ve said what happened to GF was a disgrace.
How many times have people protested after seeing such a tactic? If you're saying that people are upset over a knee on a persons neck, then you are the problem

That's an assumption. Regardless, I'll adopt your line of thinking for a moment, and say they would. Why should we take a premature stance just because someone else did on some other issue? Someone else's mistake doesn't justify you making a mistake here.I'm saying exactly what I said. Broly likes his clickbait, and made a thread intending to compare this photo with the George Floyd situation, with the implied question, "why isn't this being covered?"

Originally posted by tru-marvellstop trying to lie , not once did I see it was equal to a man losing his life. Stop playing the victim this thread is about “white privilege”
Not saying what's pictured is ok....it isn't, in general, but it seems to me that you are trying to equate this to a man losing his life.
oh and you are the one injecting race here....

That dude has two knees on both the front and back of his neck: a far worse position to be in than Floyd's situation. There appears to be 4 cops on him instead of just 3.
How long did they stay on top of him and was it 8 minutes and 46 seconds (probably not)?
Did this white man recently take both Fentanyl and Meth? Did he have heart problems?

So, kneeling on someone's neck is a 100% valid and legit tactic. only GF dying made it wrong?
