George Floyd

[rod]

It's been awhile since I watched the arrest of Floyd so I decided to watch it again. If I was a juror this is what I would surmise after watching it:

Floyd was a drama queen from the onset
Floyd was definitely dropping drugs out of his pants while being walked by those 2 cops
The officer had his knee on the side of his neck and wasn't using full force.
If the officer had placed his knee on Floyds windpipe and he couldn't talk then the prosecution might have something to work with.
Try to choke yourself out by just using the side of your throat--it ain't happening.
Floyd also complains that his stomach is hurting- possibly from swallowing too many drugs to get rid of evidence. I guess we will have to see what the autopsy showed.

Verdict?----NOT GUILTY.---go get yourself a new flat screen tv and a pair of Nikes.

Nice Job Rod. I will move the posts in Cancel Culture here.

 

[Operational needs]

They blocked of an area and called it the George Floyd Autonomous Zone. Already getting shootings there with no police to presence.

No Whites allowed.

No Whites allowed.

Damn crackahs

Going to be a hung jury

 

[over9five]

Trial will be fixed to find the officer guilty.
We can't have months and months of looting and burning. Would make Biden look bad.

What makes you think he'll walk free?

Watching the entire video sure changes perspective, as does the knee on neck being normal operating procedure.

Get ready for more riots as he is found not guilty.

The 2nd degree charge was looking so shaky the judge let them add a 3rd degree. Which is almost never used in MN and doesn't really apply in this kind of case.

In October, Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill dropped the third-degree murder charge against Chauvin, ruling the charge can "be sustained only in situations in which the defendant's actions were 'eminently dangerous to other persons' and were not specifically directed at the particular person whose death occurred."
The evidence presented by the state did not show that Chauvin's actions were "eminently dangerous" to anyone but Floyd, the ruling said.

The guy was handcuffed.

 

[Fred's Myth]

The guy was handcuffed.

And it was too late to keep him from swallowing the drugs that killed him.

i would think that as the defense i would be arguing to the jury that prosecution didnt have enough evidence for a conviction and thus added the third degree as a safety net. I would then argue that justice is based on evidence and is not an either / or fishing expedition.

Its a political trial where evidence matters little.

So true but every now and then Justice screws up and actually performs blindly

These are all great points and a far better argument than Derek Chauvin killed Floyd, meant to kill Floyd and deserves a medal or two for doing so.
Good job rod.

Chauvin agreed to plead guilty last Summer to Third degree until the prosecution pulled it off the table. He may take the deal again if offered. 5 years or less in a country club jail.

The prosecution didn't pull the deal.

The presiding judge pulled it.

Try doing some actual research before you cast aspersions at others.

You are correct. The question remains if it will go back on the table and will Chauvin take it.
