That’s what we said while the 3rd Precinct was still burning.
This whole thing has been a farce from day one and people don’t just need to go to jail for this... They need to be executed.
Chauvin, whatever else his faults, did not KILL Floyd. Period.
But the PTB will argue that Floyd, high as a kite as he was, presented the classic “eggshell” victim, and that had it not been for the actions of subduing him (he was being combative), the EMTs would have got to him in time to save him (doubtful, because with what was in his system, he was a dead man walking).
But the PTB wanted their cause celebre for the 2020 election.
He had 22 complaints against him. That is quite a bit.
Yeah, sure. 22 complaints against Chauvin. How many of them were valid, having to deal with the likes of George Floyd day in and day out.
The same people who say Trump has so many indictments that he must be guilty.
And the same kind of legal system we being used for political purposes against both of them.
Chauvin wasn’t supposed to be tried on the basis of other “complaints” against him. He was supposed to be tried for what he was unjustly accused of. Some people aren’t smart enough to understand that.
Regardless of whether he is a bad person or not, as you said, it is pretty clear Chauvin did not kill George Floyd, but was lynched by a mob wearing the veneer of a real legal system.
