This story would be horrific for sure if it happened to someone who didn't deserve it. But yeah, with you 100%.

For obvious reasons I cannot celebrate violence in prisons, plus I specifically want this motherfucker to live a long miserable life

the author, who is white,

The dick-riding fascists do to the end and beyond for cops is amazing.

"Floyd was murdered by Chauvin..." use that terminology. He's been fucking convicted. There's no liable suit potential here. You don't have to allege it or pretend that Floyd just suddenly became no longer alive. A court of law found Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd. Honestly an amazing feat in our shit hole racist country and they still use the ambiguous wording that "he died."

I fucking hate "journalists."

If I see any comments about style guides that demand passive voice or blaming editors (who also suck) I will shake my head in disappointment. I'm preparing to shake!

I could almost see it as an author who is trying to acknowledge that the outcry was that black lives matter and, as such, the murder had a racial element to it. I'd probably get rid of everything after store because the topic of the piece isn't about what Floyd was doing. You might also consider being more explicit about your motivations for bringing up race and making it two sentences: one about how Chauvin murdered Floyd and another about how the white on black murder sparked a big conversation about race. That would, of course, be giving the benefit of the doubt which is a hehexd kind of situation.

Was he resisting? The article doesn't explain the context. And he was no angel.

I hear the police officer body has ways of shutting that whole thing down

Yes, let him suffer more

i find this preferable to him dying of it. they should also take turns kneeling on his neck.

We need to find the name of this good samaritan and put some money on their commissary account for a job well done.
