George Floyd Riots Are a Warning to Autocratic Governors

The George Floyd rioters may  identify with Floyd because they feel that state or local government is kneeling on their necks.

The  claim   that  Floyd    died of strangulation  ignores  the fact he was able to say "I can't breathe!"   The fact Floyd  could speak means he could exhale air through his throat.  Thus the statement "I can't breathe!"  probably indicates he could  not expand his lungs so  he  could draw in air.    He would have had trouble  expanding his lungs lying face down with a man  on  his back.

If the men involved in Floyd's  death  are typical of  those who  work for the Minneapolis police department I'm glad I don't have to rely on the Minneapolis police department for protection.
