> All of a sudden, things get a lot more fuzzy in terms of cause and effect
It got more fuzzy for who?!
The kind of people who will turn the most clear cut case of police brutality we've seen in years into their own personal chance to play "devils advocate" and be the obligatory contrarian no one needed, wanted, or asked for?

Because, after all, do you think the fact he was in respiratory distress means the officer should have knelt on his neck for 9 more minutes while he begged for mercy and was reduced to crying for his mother?
Do you think having your neck knelt on for 9 minutes is an appropriate response for respiratory distress?
It makes them look like even more cold blooded murders.
It makes their initial excuse of "he was faking to get out of the hold" even more abominable
If he was in such respiratory distress that he was dying before being knelt on, it could be interpreted he additionally needed 9 consecutive minutes of having a knee on his neck?
I was wondering how that could be an unpopular sentiment then I realized, I broke the first rule of HN. You can be as passive aggressive about tech stuff as you want, but don't be overtly heated about anything "political", like police murdering (sorry, manslaughtering) people in broad daylight
