Yeah I mean a 6 hour negotiation that doesn't end with him in cuffs really only ends one other way. Dude was genuinely ****** and beyond repair.
I would like to point out that pally is correct in saying the MPD is going to be under a microscope regardless of their efforts, and that is entirely their fault. I don't think they did anything wrong here, but you don't wash the stigma of George Floyd off so easily as to wait a couple years and hope people forget.
