Did you follow the trial at all? Much testimony that he was *absolutely * following procedure... and Floyd was already a dead man walking, due to the amount of fentanyl and other drugs he had on board.
And his knee wasn't on his throat. In fact, the police chief testified at trial that the video showed Chauvin's knee on Floyd's SHOULDER.
Also... it's accepted medical fact that when someone is clearly stating "I can't breathe"... they aren't having trouble breathing! Floyd probably WAS short of oxygen, as his CNS shut down from the drugs, but his airway wasn't obstructed.

True. We know the judicial system is corrupt and totally compromised after the SC ruling about not ruling. Why should this judge be any cleaner?i do have some real wonderings about the judge. sometimes, his judgments made us all go "wth?"
i do wonder if he allowed things for a purpose. we all knew the outcome before it started, and the threat that was stated outright. its possible it all went this way and now it can be stated that the jurors did the "right' thing and are now immune to the "justice', but he knew it would be overturned later.
i'm not saying that is the gospel, but it certainly is possible.
And from what I understand, he made it to the hospital alive.His knee was NOT on his Throat
WTH!!! Put the pedal to the metal and let the blood splats fall where they may. Didn't Reginald Denny teach you anything???
She should do the same. When the devil takes her, I will rejoice.Pelowzi says Saint George sacrificed his life for justice.
And I don't have time to follow the case - I work full time and then some
Why would you remotely agree to be anywhere in Minneapolis today??
Look what mass email I just got in my mailbox from superintendent of school district.
I don’t even know what to do with this.
Dear (School District) Students, Families, and Employees:
Today, the jury has announced guilty verdicts on all three counts of the Derek Chauvin trial for the killing of George Floyd. This senseless killing and its aftermath have sparked emotions and conversations around the world. These issues are complex, controversial and, for many, very personal.
To assist with conversations, the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) has provided some resources that parents and staff may use to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Teaching Tolerance has a Let’s Talk Guide that can help classroom educators in creating the foundation for discussing race, racism, and other difficult topics with students.
In addition, the National Association of School Psychologists shares Talking About Race and Privilege: Lesson Plan for Middle and High School Students.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxx
Superintendent

Thanks Red.....so that means he will only get time for the worst one right? .....there is no way you can (or should be able to triple stack) give him time for all three charges...........?Often, the prosecution will levy a bevy of charges hoping to attain a plea bargain and hoping that something will stick if the case goes to trial.
It is obvious persecutorial abuse but that is just the way the system works.

Again - if that's the case - his knee was not on his throat then I would agree he is innocent

This is what people who watched none of the trial will think. Good job following the crowd. Now per the prosecution he was not on Floyd’s neck, was trained in this process, and was under threat of violence from a mob. Just to start with.I really don't know where some of you are coming from. Chauvin is obviously guilty of ie- he had his knee on the throat of a handcuffed man laying on the ground for 9 minutes. Chauvin knew before hand that Floyd was having trouble breathing. It doesn't matter what drugs he had taken or how much he was struggling initially. I also heard it wasn't pollice procedure to do this. So to me he is guilty - I'm not sure under what category or charge it falls but it's obvious he is guilty
Bang Splat is the new BS.Soon the only conversations that matter will start with BANG! and end with SPLAT!
I know...however the poster needed to be corrected as they had it wrong.This is NOT about justice
True story, one already has a book deal and another has a professional documentary person following themWhat is VP harris doing? I cannot bear to watch or listen...
I am making the assumption the jury members wanted on this jury in the first place in order to convict Chauvin. They spent like no time in deliberation - relatively speaking.
