Believe it or not, there are people who make a career as jury selection expert consultants.

Watch this video.  Sooner (if justice is served) or later (on appeal), Chauvin walks.  Facts are facts.  Not Guilty.

 

And the inevitable riots and looting need to be answered with overwhelming lethal force.  It's time for the BS to be stopped, by any means necessary.

That’s a very incomplete and slanted video, and doesn’t take into account the responsibility to provide care to a detainee.

let the courts work.

At least the dirtbag has been clean and sober for a year. Not to mention Ms. Dirtbag, Breonna Taylor. Wonder if they ever found the perp who smoked a dude in her car, or the dope dealers running **** out of her place.

Thanks for posting this. 

The enemy has controlled the media and brainwashed their useful idiots into ignoring the undeniable fact that Floyd died due to a Fentanyl overdose.

Too claustrophobic to breathe in a Ford but able to drive a Mercedes? Junkies can be so irrational when they freak out.

The fact that black folks do per capita much more crime in the US is totally irrelevant in this context.

Will they be required to wear masks while looting?

Just watched the video. Floyd wasn't following orders from first contact. Always the same ****. If you can't follow VERY simple orders like keeping your hands on the wheel, your license should be revoked. And that's just for starters, let alone all the other bullshit that followed. Claustrophobic my ass. That guy never learned to accept any form of responsibility in his life. Always screwing up, coming up with BS excuses and pulling a bullshit show. His criminal history and drug offenses back all that up.

I can't judge the knee placement and if this caused his death or to what degree, but I know one thing for sure: I couldn't do this job. I'd lose my patience on the first day. While no human is perfect and I can deal with an honest mistake, but facing deliberate bullshit and I'm done really quick.

They were responsible for his well being, they called an ambulance and let him out of the car as he asked.  Do you need to see the jillions of videos where people in the same situation as Floyd suddenly jumped up and got violent or took off?  He was restrained for a reason.  I suppose I could see manslaughter but I would still say it is wrong and Chauvin has already gotten 10X the punishment he ever should have received for what little human error he made.  I challenge anyone to do that job for a week and then give a **** about a non-compliant drug addict.

 

Bottom line is simple, don't want to end up like George Floyd, don't act like George Floyd.

[pipedreams]

A side-by-side comparison of a photo from a Minneapolice Police training exercise and a video screenshot from the George Floyd overdose incident clearly shows the similarities. Oddly, mainstream news and social media have yet to even acknowledge, let alone account for this training.

Hopefully, as these and other facts are laid bare, America will see the truth, and see the difference between facts and feelings

[Dric902]

If he loses consciousness and stop breathing. Dying on the street while being detained.......does the training video tell them to hold him down while he dies, or call medical response and give first aid?

 

if you’re going to drop the feelings, drop them on both sides.

Well I learned something...I heard him say he was hooping, and I thought basketball.  I had no idea it was up your butt.

I've been watching the voir dire and some of the potential jurors have been surprising.  I really like the judge and defense counsel.  

[ARP]

Been a long time since I visited. My take...

Chauvin will not be convicted. Pink Floyd ate his stash, He then was begging to get out of the car and was turning blue and foaming at the mouth. So he was laid on the ground and restrained by departmental approved means while EMS was enroute. He died before they got there. Happens every day. Implying that the knee restraint accelerated his death is baizuo jibberish.

Keith Ellison is a political hack whose office is going up against a highly skilled defense team. Politically, it serves no political purpose to get a conviction. Floyds family already hit the ghetto lottery. No conviction means the riots for another summer ensue and the movement continues to bring the nation down further so clowns like Ellison can further their cause.

Truth right there...

[railfancwb]

Is Keith Ellison one of the DAs funded by Soros?

[tous]

Mr. Ellison is the Attorney General of Minnesota.  His office is not legally involved in the trial.

Michael Freeman is the county attorney for the county where Minneapolis resides, but he has been removed from the Chauvin trial because -- he's a Democrat and they lie, cheat and steal.

This time, they were noticed by an honest judge.

As ARP ably noted. the career  criminal, drug-using miscreant's family has already cashed in.

No trial, just the state handing over a big box of cash.

Sort of like what Mr. Obama did with Iran.

 

Shiftless, whiny, bad people get big payday.

Decent police officer gets huge legal-bill debt, ruined reputation and the scorn of the ignorant and malicious.

Just the way the hippie socialists want it.

I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be a peace officer in the current Socialist Paradise.

Young'uns should aspire to be teachers; get paid and never have to show up for work.

We have a gang dude here who has been trying to suck the police into an unarmed black man with a gun lottery ticket.

He disguises his voice as somewhat female and calls 911 to report a colored man with a gun brandishing in the street.  He wants to pitch a fit and fall into it so the police have to subdue him in front of witnesses so he gets 27 million bucks.  Nice work if you can get it I guess.

[tous]

I apologize, amigos.

I hate to be cynical and when I must I usually keep it to myself.

The trouble is, it is getting harder and harder to believe that those who are decent, honest folk that play by the rules are anything but chumps these days.

I get we got lots of cop lovers here, but lets have some common sense here.  Not following a cop's orders should NOT be punishable by death.  This is a lose-lose case here because Floyd didn't deserve to die that day and Chauvin will not get a fair trial because this case is politically and emotionally controlled.  No matter how much of a punk ass coward Chauvin acted, everyone deserves a fair trial.  The jury has been finally selected after like 3 days and the trial officially starts Monday.  Haven't decided how much I wanna follow it, but the verdict will be interesting either way.

So, non-compliance of "Put the gun down" shouldn't be punishable by death? In this case it was a crackhead that killed himself. Nothing really to see.

Where in the video did Floyd have a gun?  The non-compliance we saw from Floyd in the video is in no way shape or form a threat to the cops involved.  If I'm told to put my hands up and I refuse to do it, how should that be a death penalty offense?  Now if I'm pointing a gun at a cop or running at them with a knife drawn and I refuse to stop then yeah, justifiable homicide.

If a drunk driver crashes into a bridge abutment at 80 mph and dies the cause of death is not failure to obey the speed limit. Floyd didn't die because he failed to follow a cop's orders. He died because he ODed on fentanyl.

You are equating "using accepted restraint methods" with "intent to kill". That is not correct.
