nOmesorah -“By mortals, a witness is by definition a bystander.
Similarly, a judge would have to hold office.”
A ben noach is a mortal.
Nobody at the scene was a witness. They did not even hear from the clerk, and probably had no idea who he was. Floyd was never given a chance to defend himself. (Verbally or physically.) Nor did the cop ever ponder the evidence. Nobody even checked that they had the right man. Or if the bill was really counterfeit.”
I hear your opinion, but I disagree.
There is another angle here anyways.
Floyd was a Rodef.
He was about to drive a car while being intoxicated.
First they tried to put him in the Police Car, when that didn’t work, they had to restrain him.
The fact that he died – is his own Fault.
He’s Not Guilty in Minn. Law & for sure Not acc. to the Torah!
