Poll: Number who think George Floyd's death was murder down more than 20 percent
The proportion of Americans who think that George Floyd's death in police custody last May was murder is down more than 20 percent, according to a USA Today- Ipsos Poll released Friday.
Thirty-six percent of those surveyed described Floyd's death as murder, compared to 60 percent who said the same last June. Seventeen percent said they didn't know how to describe it, compared to only 4 percent who said the same last year.
Eight percent said they believed it was an accident, compared to three percent in June.

Man, given the gross abuses of power we've seen from cops already, I'm sure giving them further legal protection to assault and arrest people for anything from filming them across the street, asking them what they're being detained/searched for, using our First Amendment right to give them the middle finger etc.Senate Bill 211 includes language that makes a person guilty of disorderly conduct if they accost, insult, taunt or challenge a law enforcement officer “with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response from the perspective of a reasonable and prudent person.”
What the fuck are "offensive or derisive words, or by gestures, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response"?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, especially for law enforcement who should be held to higher standards than a drunk guy at the bar lookin to throw fisticuffs because someone say he had a small peepee.
Good job, Kentucky. You're trying to make the problem worse.

Seems like an EU thing, not Google's fault.

I'd genuinely be curious to see this play out in a court of law.
Like, let's get some case-law and precedent set for what is accepted as provoking a "violent response from a reasonable and prudent person.", because I imagine it would overturn quite a lot of assault cases/charges. Unless this is only to protect police for assaulting people for saying they have a small peepee. Which would just like, be the smallest dick energy of all time, proving the allegations of the individual claiming said officer has a small peepee.
