The very last individual on George Floyd: "that police officer didnt have his knee on his neck!" "Did you see the video?" "No." That is it for me, a perfect example. He'd rather believe what is comfortable for him to believe rather than look into something to find something uncomfortable...
You do know George Floyd stopped breathing bc of all the fetynol he took, right. I watched my friend die when he stopped breathing bc of fetynol. You people are sick
@@dougkenny6548 the fact is, emotions aside, instead of assisting him, after Floyd's numerous pleas and eventually urinating on himself, what purpose was there to continue restraining him instead of checking on his vitals. He was restrained. Handcuffed. One in law enforcement should know the difference between someone resisting, and someone struggling to breath or dying. If someone were chocking in food while being arrested, the action of not assisting them while in police custody, falls on the law enforcement. "The prone position restricts ventilation and diminishes pulmonary perfusion. In the setting of a police encounter, metabolic demand will be high from anxiety, stress, excitement, physical struggle, and/or stimulant drugs, leading to metabolic acidosis and requiring significant hyperventilation. Although oxygen levels may be maintained, prolonged restraint in the prone position may result in an inability to adequately blow off CO2, causing blood pCO2 levels to rise rapidly." That means the officer killed the person.
@@dougkenny6548 He went to jail for his role in Floyd's death. And that knee on the neck thing, was not permitted in that situation, btw. He had his knee - his whole body weight - on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes. It was the cause. The knee pressure caused asphyxia due to neck and back compression. I don't know what autopsy report you think you read, but it wasn't Floyd's.
And their vote counts as much as mine! Isaac Asimov put it well when he said, “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge' "
I’m sorry to say, but a lot of Australians don’t know our history! They won’t even acknowledge that England invaded the country and took it over from the indigenous people.
As an Australian, I'm staggered at these people's ignorance of their own country's history. Surely they would have learned the history of the civil war in grade school and from their own parents?
American students don't/can't pay attention in school. Past 6th grade, hardly any subjects can hold our attention. It's not always the case but the majority of the time high school kids are more interested in things like Stanley cups than history.
It IS taught in our schools. Along with the Revolutionary war, World Wars 1 and 2 and all the others. But even if it wasn't taught in schools, have these people never seen Gone With The Wind? Or Gettysburg? Or Glory? Or any of the countless movies that are set during that time? The education system didn't fail these people. These people have failed themselves.
I have a BA in History and Social Science with a minor in political science and business management and I was going to be a teacher. Listening to these people not know the difference between the Revolutionary war, the American Civil War or War between the states is so painful to hear. To think that our education system did not impart important knowledge about this country is very sad. Either that or they forgot what they learned and started to accept info from sources that were not correct.
As a teacher of history this video appalls me... so much... how do they sit there, the answer is in their eyes and they giggle and are like "idk". The woman at 1:38 saying "I had a black man at my door the other day" in regards to saying the left is bringing race into this and then saying that statement to not sound racist... ma'am there are actual quotes from people from southern states in the 1830s-1850s stating that slavery was a key part of the preservation of the South - and when people say the war was about states rights.... states right to do what? Continue the institution of slavery as we expanded West. You literally will learn this at some point in school here in the United States
"What do you think was the cause of the civil war?"...."I had a black man at my door the other day...the democrats bring race into everything!" Uhh...ma'am you are the only one that just brought race into this. Plus, why are you taking notes every time a black person comes in your neighborhood? He was probably the damn mailman.
How can citizens of a country who almost exclusively teaches only their own history throughout school, be so ignorant of one of the most pivotal parts of that history?
@@Rabbit00766 seeing as how I’m Scottish, The Barbary Wars are not a pivotal part of the history of my country. So your gotcha comment actually isn’t the zinger you thought it’d be, as it has nothing to do do with me or my comment.
It was not pivotal for Scotland, but it was for USA. And actually, considering you were a part of England, the Barbary Wars were a big part of English History. England kept slaves until the early 1800's, about the time of the Barbary Wars. So, really, despite your Scotland snobbery, you don't know what you are talking about, or simply are in denial.
@@Rabbit00766 I don’t know what I’m talking about, says the imbecile who claims that Scotland was part of England. SCOTLAND HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF ENGLAND, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT ARE BOTH PART OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED KINGDOM!!! Get the basics right before you start spouting nonsense. The UK were not protagonists in the Barbary Wars, they may have done a little bit of stirring during the War of 1812 but that’s pretty much it. But regardless of how much involvement the UK may have had in it, it still wasn’t pivotal to either UK, Great British, English or Scottish history and so is not something I was taught in school. On the other hand, the American Civil War was a pivotal part of US history and something that it seems mind boggling that anyone from there and over the age of about ten can’t articulate why it started. You have completely missed the point I was making in my original comment, just assumed that I’m from the US and then went out of your way to insult me and double down on YOUR misunderstanding. My original point was that in the US it is mainly the history of your own country that is taught for your entire school life and yet the vast majority of the people spoken to in this video couldn’t or wouldn’t say what caused the Civil War…which like it or not from an outsider’s perspective seems a far more pivotal point in your country’s history than the Barbary Wars. It is after all a part of US history that is taught in countries all over the world…I was taught about both the US Civil War and The War of Independence when I was about eleven.
"I don't care about race". If that's true, why did you feel compelled to describe how a BLACK MAN was at your door? What significance did that have for you, I'd be curious to know.

@treyshaffer Doesn't matter. The USA has been involved on a lot of wars. The revolutionary War was over 100 years ago. On top of that we are flooded with modern news non stop. We grt more news in one year than someone in the 1800s got in their lifetime. Revolutionary War takes a back seat for most people. Especially to the world wars, cold war, Vietnam, Iraq, etc.
Sitting here in the United States. Shaking my head in disbelief and realizing I need to vote on this in two months. Luckily, don't have to think too much about how I'm going to vote.
What really caused the Civil War was the South. The South wanted slavery to expand to other states and Lincoln didn’t, because of that the South succeeded, they took Fort Sumter hostage, Lincoln sent supplies for the hostages, he asked the South not to fire at the ship and they did it anyway. The war wasn’t initially to free slaves, but some years into the war and with utilizing former slaves to fight for the Union and with Frederick Douglass in his ear, eventually the War became about freeing the slaves. Sidenote, Lincoln was assassinated because he announced that he was going to give voting rights to black men as he was impressed with their fighting abilities during the war.
Its not lack of education. These people know the civil war was fought over slavery. Theyre just playing coy because their racist ideology demands they uphold white supremacy by downplaying slavery or anything that was harmful to black people. Its the same reason these people inevitably defend the police in any case of a police shooting an unarmed black man.

Given, everything is in the public eye, there are continuous dawns of false hope to bring about a planned public exhaustion with him - a death by a thousand cuts to get what they feel is rightfully belongs to them.* Whilst these sham courts reach their verdicts, he sits and ponders despondently with flashbacks of how it was in the past and how it could have been, it’s all deja vu.

People all over the world saw the video . Dag this male had to quickly think of a lie because how dare he admit the truth .
You do know George Floyd stopped breathing bc of all the fetynol he took, right. I watched my friend die when he stopped breathing bc of fetynol. You people are sick
According to the autopsy the actions of the officer did not cause Floyd's death. We need to put emotion aside and look purely at the facts.
@@dougkenny6548 the fact is, emotions aside, instead of assisting him, after Floyd's numerous pleas and eventually urinating on himself, what purpose was there to continue restraining him instead of checking on his vitals. He was restrained. Handcuffed. One in law enforcement should know the difference between someone resisting, and someone struggling to breath or dying. If someone were chocking in food while being arrested, the action of not assisting them while in police custody, falls on the law enforcement. "The prone position restricts ventilation and diminishes pulmonary perfusion. In the setting of a police encounter, metabolic demand will be high from anxiety, stress, excitement, physical struggle, and/or stimulant drugs, leading to metabolic acidosis and requiring significant hyperventilation. Although oxygen levels may be maintained, prolonged restraint in the prone position may result in an inability to adequately blow off CO2, causing blood pCO2 levels to rise rapidly." That means the officer killed the person.
@@dougkenny6548 He went to jail for his role in Floyd's death. And that knee on the neck thing, was not permitted in that situation, btw. He had his knee - his whole body weight - on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes. It was the cause. The knee pressure caused asphyxia due to neck and back compression.
I don't know what autopsy report you think you read, but it wasn't Floyd's.
And their vote counts as much as mine! Isaac Asimov put it well when he said, “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge' "
Did Asimov say that ? Very intelligent thought. And it seems to show , in some way , that many people have a feeling of inferiority..
I'm Australian and know what the cause of American civil war was. How can you get to the age some of these people are and not know your own history?
I’m sorry to say, but a lot of Australians don’t know our history! They won’t even acknowledge that England invaded the country and took it over from the indigenous people.
Trump could not find Israel on a map so one should not expect too much from his supporters.
Without looking it up, what was the cause of the Lambing Flat (NSW) riot?
@@johnvienta7622 was is a love triangle?
@@billgiles3261 .. Good one.... It is usually women or money, but in the case of Lambing Flat it was the Chinese.
As an Australian, I'm staggered at these people's ignorance of their own country's history. Surely they would have learned the history of the civil war in grade school and from their own parents?
Beat me to it.
American students don't/can't pay attention in school. Past 6th grade, hardly any subjects can hold our attention. It's not always the case but the majority of the time high school kids are more interested in things like Stanley cups than history.
Fair bloody hell some people shouldn't say a word .well they listen to Trump lost soul's they should watch deliverance Trump can be the pig.
Funny that, I also live in Aus. We know far more about US history than here, 'cause we have so little.
It IS taught in our schools. Along with the Revolutionary war, World Wars 1 and 2 and all the others. But even if it wasn't taught in schools, have these people never seen Gone With The Wind? Or Gettysburg? Or Glory? Or any of the countless movies that are set during that time? The education system didn't fail these people. These people have failed themselves.
Keeping them sleeping in hate, and dumb!
Wow this is scary these people vote!
I have a BA in History and Social Science with a minor in political science and business management and I was going to be a teacher. Listening to these people not know the difference between the Revolutionary war, the American Civil War or War between the states is so painful to hear. To think that our education system did not impart important knowledge about this country is very sad. Either that or they forgot what they learned and started to accept info from sources that were not correct.
As a teacher of history this video appalls me... so much... how do they sit there, the answer is in their eyes and they giggle and are like "idk". The woman at 1:38 saying "I had a black man at my door the other day" in regards to saying the left is bringing race into this and then saying that statement to not sound racist... ma'am there are actual quotes from people from southern states in the 1830s-1850s stating that slavery was a key part of the preservation of the South - and when people say the war was about states rights.... states right to do what? Continue the institution of slavery as we expanded West. You literally will learn this at some point in school here in the United States
"What do you think was the cause of the civil war?"...."I had a black man at my door the other day...the democrats bring race into everything!" Uhh...ma'am you are the only one that just brought race into this. Plus, why are you taking notes every time a black person comes in your neighborhood? He was probably the damn mailman.
How can citizens of a country who almost exclusively teaches only their own history throughout school, be so ignorant of one of the most pivotal parts of that history?
Yes, and can you tell me what the Barbary Wars were about? No? I thought so.
@@Rabbit00766 seeing as how I’m Scottish, The Barbary Wars are not a pivotal part of the history of my country. So your gotcha comment actually isn’t the zinger you thought it’d be, as it has nothing to do do with me or my comment.
It was not pivotal for Scotland, but it was for USA. And actually, considering you were a part of England, the Barbary Wars were a big part of English History. England kept slaves until the early 1800's, about the time of the Barbary Wars. So, really, despite your Scotland snobbery, you don't know what you are talking about, or simply are in denial.
@@Rabbit00766 I don’t know what I’m talking about, says the imbecile who claims that Scotland was part of England. SCOTLAND HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF ENGLAND, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT ARE BOTH PART OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED KINGDOM!!! Get the basics right before you start spouting nonsense.
The UK were not protagonists in the Barbary Wars, they may have done a little bit of stirring during the War of 1812 but that’s pretty much it. But regardless of how much involvement the UK may have had in it, it still wasn’t pivotal to either UK, Great British, English or Scottish history and so is not something I was taught in school. On the other hand, the American Civil War was a pivotal part of US history and something that it seems mind boggling that anyone from there and over the age of about ten can’t articulate why it started.
You have completely missed the point I was making in my original comment, just assumed that I’m from the US and then went out of your way to insult me and double down on YOUR misunderstanding.
My original point was that in the US it is mainly the history of your own country that is taught for your entire school life and yet the vast majority of the people spoken to in this video couldn’t or wouldn’t say what caused the Civil War…which like it or not from an outsider’s perspective seems a far more pivotal point in your country’s history than the Barbary Wars. It is after all a part of US history that is taught in countries all over the world…I was taught about both the US Civil War and The War of Independence when I was about eleven.
Maybe we should teach the roots version.A couple of white guys from America with a net.ITS A LIE .LIKE MEN CAN HAVE A BABY .OR HE DIDN'T DO NUFFIN
America, you are frightening the rest of us on the planet . Pulease ! invest in your education system .
"I don't care about race". If that's true, why did you feel compelled to describe how a BLACK MAN was at your door? What significance did that have for you, I'd be curious to know.
“I had a Black man at my door the other day”? WTH?!

Why is it alarming?
@@moabman6803 Because it speaks volumes to the educational deficiencies of the American population.
*Fun fact:* _21% of adult Americans are functionally illiterate, while a further 54% of adult Americans possess only the literacy skills of 6th-graders_ (prepubescent 11-year-olds). (Source: 2020 US Dept. of _‘Edu-muh-cation’_ report.)
The scary part of that statistic is these barely literate 11-year-olds get to vote because they’re biologically 18-years of age or older.

I call it a failed education system, and decades of bad policies by politicians on both sides. We keep voting for the hoping for hope and change as we dig the financial hole deeper and watch our infrastructure crumble. I just hope that someday we fix all of it, but sadly it won’t be in my lifetime. Oh well 50 more years of this crap for me.

How ignorant are we as a country when adults don’t know what the Civil War was about? Honest to god, didn’t these people go to school? 🤦♀️ SMH sadly!
Far more important events have happened in history, plus it was a very long time ago.
@@moabman6803 dude what it's easily the most important event in US history throughout the entire 19th century, and considering this country only been around for ~2.5 centuries, that's a pretty big part of our history! It's also by far the deadliest war we've ever fought -- and that's in absolute numbers not even accounting for relative numbers, then it's even bigger!
@treyshaffer Doesn't matter. The USA has been involved on a lot of wars. The revolutionary War was over 100 years ago. On top of that we are flooded with modern news non stop. We grt more news in one year than someone in the 1800s got in their lifetime. Revolutionary War takes a back seat for most people. Especially to the world wars, cold war, Vietnam, Iraq, etc.
Slavery was not the cause of the civil war in America.
@@Ath_infantry_1985 what was it to you then? 'states rights'? Sure, 'states rights' to own slaves 😂

Sitting her watching from Canada. Shaking my head in disbelief.
Sitting here in the United States. Shaking my head in disbelief and realizing I need to vote on this in two months. Luckily, don't have to think too much about how I'm going to vote.
They should ask them when the civil war was and who we fought.
And name the generals in the war and who won and for what reason !
What really caused the Civil War was the South. The South wanted slavery to expand to other states and Lincoln didn’t, because of that the South succeeded, they took Fort Sumter hostage, Lincoln sent supplies for the hostages, he asked the South not to fire at the ship and they did it anyway. The war wasn’t initially to free slaves, but some years into the war and with utilizing former slaves to fight for the Union and with Frederick Douglass in his ear, eventually the War became about freeing the slaves. Sidenote, Lincoln was assassinated because he announced that he was going to give voting rights to black men as he was impressed with their fighting abilities during the war.
I am dumbfounded that these people are this clueless about their own history.
As an Australian l have no idea how they do not know the answer to this.
Its not lack of education. These people know the civil war was fought over slavery. Theyre just playing coy because their racist ideology demands they uphold white supremacy by downplaying slavery or anything that was harmful to black people. Its the same reason these people inevitably defend the police in any case of a police shooting an unarmed black man.
Dear God. This is depressing.

WOW! These are the “stupid people” that Trump keeps saying he loves. Unbelievable! 🥺😱
He’s going around in circles, chasing his tail, in what has clearly become a dangerous death spiral. A trap of nightmare proportions, far from the idyllic and nice outcome he imagined growing up. *Numerous and unnecessary court cases in what has turned into a tussle of attrition against those he gave the responsibility to facilitate another term in office, whom have now decided to step in and take what they believe is rightfully theirs.*
*This is has seen court cases which could have been done and dusted in weeks by the hundreds of legal establishments which could have ended this, but instead this sorry saga has to be excruciatingly dragged on for several years with unnecessary and feeble attempts to stall his momentum. Given, everything is in the public eye, there are continuous dawns of false hope to bring about a planned public exhaustion with him - a death by a thousand cuts to get what they feel is rightfully belongs to them.*
Whilst these sham courts reach their verdicts, he sits and ponders despondently with flashbacks of how it was in the past and how it could have been, it’s all deja vu. But, it’s maybe too late, time has passed him by (or been taken away from him) - and time waits for no man….

Wow, I shouldn't, but I keep getting surprised by their ignorance and stupidity.
I mean its a question on the Civil War... How do you fumble that one... Thats a very low bar... Thats like asking, "Who was the first US President?" I was going to say, "Who did we gain independence from" but that would actually be a hard one for them because I dont think they'd be able to translate the word "independence". They'd probably answer the Cherokee/Apaches/Primitive Forest Dwellers with redskin.
@ICU1337 This time will be known in history as "The Great Dumbing Down of America", among other thing's
They should all have to pass the US immigration test to be allowed to vote.
Scariest part (besides obvious lack of education) was the number of people who thought that "civil war" referred to the current state of politics.
Yeah, like they think a scheduled and legally permitted protest is an "insurrection."
No, that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is all you people believing all this propaganda. Anybody can put anything on the internet, that does not mean it is true. I don't support any particular candidate for President. All I want is somebody that works for the people and to make our lives better.
Well if that would happen today we know which side would win and it won’t be the purple hair group trying to figure out their gender

It is really remarkable that so many people do not know basic history. Also, so many people still believe Trump’s bs.

Yes! I could say the same for idiotic, ignorant young people. Let's raise the voting age to 25. And that is not an attempt at voter suppression, it's an effort to curb people voting with their feelings rather than acknowledging reality.
@michaelrogers2080 No, that is not what the South did. This is not precluding a class of voters from casting their ballot because of their skin color or economic status, its based on their overall intelligence. These young people only vote because a celebrity urges them to. The best voter is an informed voter. (And before bring it up, in no ways am I suggesting that black people then and now are not intelligent, race and color does not matter anymore).
