    Being found 'not guilty' does not always equal being innocent of what one was on trial for...see OJ

    George Floyd is where he is today because of poor life decisions he made, the last of which was violently resisting arrest. The world is a better place without him if you ask me.

    Agreed. And Chauvin is where he is today because of the choice he made. Life is all about choices

    And being found guilty does not always equal being guilty.

    I don't know whether Chauvin is innocent or not. I assume that's why there is a trial. When the video came out, I saw it and came to the same conclusion that the rest of the world did, "that cop murdered that dude."

    But then two months later the autopsy leaked, showing that he had 4 times the lethal dose of fentanyl, and I had to readjust my opinions based on new evidence.

    So...I think Chauvin deserves a fair trial based on that. However he isn't going to get one and he's going to be convicted regardless of any evidence. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't guilty and deserves to be convicted, but the facts simply won't matter in this trial. He's going to be convicted anyway.

    What if the jury comes back deadlocked with a recommendation that black folks don't start burning things down? You know they do that when things don't go exactly their way.

    The cops first approached Floyd , on a counterfeit bill allegation, WITH GUNS drawn...that's excessive for a counterfeit bill allegation....




    Oh, so they were stopping him for crimes he committed in the past? Funny, I heard testimony they stopped him on a phony bill charge.

    Either way ALL and EVERY expert so far has said excessive force was used.....

    With a history of violence, they do not know how he will respond.

    I checked it. no police department in any city in any state has approved the technique of kneeling on a handcuffed and face down suspects neck for over 7 minutes, 3 of which while he was unconscious. Chauvins supervisor and department trainer has told you this is not an approved technique

    ive not offered any opinions. ive pointed out the documented facts[/QUOTE]

    NO, you are not. You are going by your personal opinion of news reports, of what YOU choose to designate as the only things relevant. Those are not facts, they are selected beliefs you arbitrarily choose.
    You ASSUME that the knee was the cause of the problem- when in fact, nothing in the autopsy clearly supports that. At the same time, you ignore the autopsy's certifiable drug test results, showing many drugs present including enough fentanyl to kill most people, in a man with a multitude of health issues which drugs would complicate and aggravate who is already presenting the symptoms of overdose and saying he can't breathe and he's about to die- before the police even touched him. You just totally ignore that, and those ARE indisputable documented facts in evidence on video.

    The choice to pick homicide as a cause of death is clearly a concession to the intimidation, and a very arbitrary choice. Even then, it is still described as a combined effect- which means that if any of the elements had not been present, the man may not have died. Everything I see you come up with is assumptions or partial truths coupled with denial of the rest of the story.
    Given your kind of logic, we can assume that milk kills people because people who drink milk die.

    It is in their training manual. If it is not an approved procedure, then it should have been removed from the manual. What other police departments do or do not do has nothing to do with it.

    It’s not in any training manual.
    It’s not in theirs or anyone else’s manual to knee on a handcuffed face down suspect for over 7 minutes 3 of which he was unconscious.

    Then they have reason to not convict. But wait, the defense still has plenty of opportunity and will use that to persuade the jury to not convict.

    Did he choke? Was his arteries shut tight?

    So far nothing proves he choked nor that his arteries were shut tight.

    We know Chauvin was on his neck. So what?

    Defense will make sure they present the actual autopsy report.
    The ME will be put on the stand. He will explain the drugs.

    why do you think someone on video murdering another person wouldn’t be convicted? lol

    I will wager your entire life’s savings that chauvin is convicted.
