    It almost sounds like the entire department would be on trial:

    I surely would have hated to be a juror on that trial. You don't go the way of the mob, lives would be lost and buildings would burn.

    I can't imagine sitting on that jury and not being afraid of being attacked for deliberating a not guilty verdict. Was it excessive force? No doubt about it. But did he deliberately mean to kill him? I doubt it.

    Good. The emotional left shouldn’t control juries

    I wonder if claiming you fear for your life is good grounds for being dismissed from jury duty.

    We will see, get a new trial and be found innocent is good grounds to have the secondary charge dropped.

    That fact doesn't hold as much significance as you assume it does.

    It was not actually communicated to Chauvin that the suspect had prior expressed that he had difficulty breathing, neither did that RN clearly communicate the reasons why she wanted to check the suspect out.

    Chauvin could have easily assumed the RN was being naive, excessively sympathetic, and falling for the suspect's manipulation.

    Look at the physical build of this guy.

    This guy had the build of a professional boxer. He had the body to be able to beat Mike Tyson in the ring (if he had been given training in boxing).

    Yes, I totally agree with you. 90% of normal people in the population, four officers should easily be able to exert physical control. That was not the case here.

    When the suspect is resisting and prior techniques do not seem to be working, it's very common for police officers to step up the level of force they use and get more intense. The other officers were frustrated and exhausted after the physical struggle just trying to get him into the car in the first place.

    We all saw what the left did, they took Fentanyl Floyd, nailed him to a cross and started a new religion where everything is racist, criminals are angels, cops are devils, and blm is the new Vatican.

    And other people don't waste time making up excuses for the actions of a junkie trying to resist arrest.
    Too many people like Floyd have infested neighborhoods and we should be rooting them out, not spouting mealy-mouthed justifications for their crimes.

    I'm 100% certain I could not have said that any better. I mean, just when you think that people have zero shame they lionize the worst *******s you could possibly find. Stellar citizens like Floyd, Brown, Wright, Brooks are hero's for being criminals. I'd like to thank the Americans who fawn over these losers for outing themselves as being the problem that's talked about but never solved.

    Can you go into detail about the times you've arrested drugged up 250 lb guy felons? You clearly know what some of us that have done that do not.

    No telling what anyone was actually thinking at the time, only they know, but I know what I saw and heard. I'll see if I can find the video again.
    I've found that a lot of video surrounding that event is hard to find now. I especially noticed the video of them trying to get him in the police car.
    If you notice, they are trying to put him in the car from the curb side, and got him in, and he wound up on the ground on the passenger side, next to the rear tire.
    Because he rolled out of the other side after being put in the car. Not sure why those videos are hard to find. I suspect media bias.

    It's not just Floyd, Brown, etc. because there are a lot of other scum the left looks up to and idolizes. They put Trayvon Martin's face on a shirt and sold them. Libs wear shirts with the face of a homophobic racist murderer on it, Che Guevara. The have Mao posters in their bedrooms. They cheered when OJ Simpson was acquitted. They gave millions to Al Sharpton who stirred up so much racist crap that people were murdered because of the things he said - and MSNBC gave him a job. They kneel at the altar of blm. The list of evil people they adore is long.

    Rubbish…EVERYONE eventually dies, whether in the next few minutes or the next few decades. To deliberately shorten anyone’s life, no matter how long they have, is murder…

    What happens to people with 4x the legal limit of Fentanol in their body along with a few other mixes? He was a big guy but he swallowed a lot of **** and also dropped some as he was being arrested.

    He shorted his life span by doing drugs, breaking the law and fighting with cops. He might be alive today if he just sat in the car and went to the police station. You think they just tossed him on the ground and kneeled on him? A lot of steps took place to get to that point. Many. All on video. All evidence of Floyd escalating again and again. Tragic yes but dude was rolling the dice every day.

    You think he was an innocent soul? He was a lifelong POS, not some saintly god like the media tried to portray in murals, ect. Drug dealer. Abuser. Violent. Law breaker.

    Labeling anybody who disagree with you a racist is just plain old idiotic. It makes you look stupid. I'm trying to help you our here. Don't do that, it's silly.

    Screaming. Like from a horror show. I say lots of things facetiously, but that's not one. Meanwhile, your own words exposes you as the total bigot you are

    Thank you, I'll be sure to give that all the attention and credence it deserves

    I don't label anyone who disagrees with me as a racist, just those who are.

    It is funny. Home invasion, robbery with a gun, pistol whipping a victim with that gun...
    But no... not "violent"...

    And even hypothetically if it could be proved he was racist, that still doesn't make this killing racist.
