The Derek Chauvin Trial

[zubenelgenubi]

Who wanted that?

I think you are asking that because the charges require some amount of intentionality. I absolutely agree that Chauvin has been overcharged, thanks to the mob. At worst he is guilty excessive force, and maybe involuntary manslaughter.

His chief threw him under the bus.

since the police chief said its a violation of policy, why were the cops doing it? were they poorly trained? do they not get tested after being cops?

It wasn't a violation of policy.

It wasn't a violation of policy.

even though their own chief said it was?

even though their own chief said it was?

The chief didn't actually say that. He did kind of infer it but he couldn't claim it violated policy.

He didnt stop resisting. Its like when a pitbull gets lockjaw. When a black man starts resisting, he cant stop. Even if he wanted to. Its biological

dont even get a sister started

Do you have any idea how ridiculously easy it is not to die in an incident with a cop?

Yuuup, Got what she deserved.

Yuuup, Got what she deserved.

Are you under the impression your point is meaningful or relevant?

I'm cool with all people who fight cops or endanger lives and property ending up dead.

You just defend the black ones and rejoice over dead white ones.

If attempting to climb through a window deserves death then homeowners rightfully can shoot anyone who comes onto their property.

Floyd relinquished his will to live and killed himself.
The drugs in his system and the predicament he put himself in overwhelmed his desire to carry on his own breathing.
It’s well documented following extreme trauma, such as combat and car wrecks, etc.
It’s not so well documented, but HAS occurred in people that simply decide to succumb to their desire to just fade away.
He killed himself with several outside influences.
Chauvin didn’t kill him, and he didn’t realize he was killing himself...

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo: “But once there was no longer any resistance, and clearly when Mr. Floyd was no longer responsive and even motionless, to continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back, that, in no way, shape or form, is anything that is by policy. It is not part of our training. And it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values.”

Minneapolis Police Chief Condemns Derek Chauvin’s Use of Force on George Floyd

In Minnesota, the doctor who tried to save George Floyd’s life at a Minneapolis emergency room last May testified Monday that asphyxia was the likely cause of Floyd’s death — with no evidence Floyd was killed by a heart attack or drug overdose. Dr. Bradford Langenfeld’s testimony came as the...

Yet today when confronted with the body cam footage the chief admitted Chauvin's knee wasn't on the neck. So he wasn't applying the so called level of force.

Don’t all the gun nuts cheer when that sort of thing happens? “Grandma shoots home invader” really gets the right wing rocks off.

She was about to enter a protected area where members of Congress were sheltering. And she could have had a pipe bomb, incendiary device, weapons, anthrax etc in her backpack. The officer who shot her didn't know who she was or what her intentions were. Couldn't assume they weren't to do harm just because of her white skin. If that'd been some black dude going through the window I think some here might have a different perspective on the shooting.

 

[wilberforce15]

It hasn't even been shown that Chauvin killed him, let alone that there was intent.

Soviet show trial.

Home invaders who keep coming in spite of warnings have ill intent. What do you do, invite them in for tea?
