They dig into the specifics of the George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks incidents, with Candace citing the death certificate's fentanyl finding and statistics on police killed by black men versus vice versa.
- Police refused to release the full George Floyd tape until it leaked to Daily Mail months after the riots stopped.
- The focus should be on what civilians can do—follow basic instructions—not just what police could have done differently.
- Cops deal with people at their worst—drunk, on drugs—so de-escalation training matters more than jumping to force.
- Tim agrees what happened to George Floyd was murder, but argues Floyd's death record shows he died from fentanyl overdose, not the chokehold.
- Even so, a police officer shouldn't be on anyone's neck for nine minutes.
- Police officers are killed by Black men 18 and a half times more often than Black men are killed by police, so asking cops to be nicer while facing that danger is unreasonable.
- Police officers are treated worse by the public more often than the other way around, backed up by data and statistics.
- The burden being placed on police to be even nicer despite being 18 and a half times more likely to end up dead doesn't make logical sense.
