So George Floyd was NOT Intentionally Murdered by a Racist White Cop?
The Houston Courant ^ | 3/14/2021 | M. Tremoglie

Posted on 03/15/2021 6:38:46 AM PDT by The Houston Courant

Minnesota’s Muslim African-American Attorney General Keith Ellison did not charge Officer Derek Chauvin with a hate crime or even with intentionally murdering Floyd.

So far, the most interesting aspect of the trial of police officer Derek Chauvin are the crimes for which he has not been charged. Chauvin has been vilified for his role in the arrest-related-death of a man resisting arrest.

Despite almost a year of riots, ranting and raving by cable news, and even condemnations by supposedly law-and-order radio talk show hosts, Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin is not being charged with the intentional murder of George Floyd. Chauvin is not even being charged with a hate crime. So one may be forgiven for being bewildered. After all, there were riots all over the United States, all over the world, about this innocent Black man allegedly being mercilessly killed by a White racist police officer. After all, the Attorney General of Minnesota is Keith Ellison, the first African-American Minnesota attorney general and the first Muslim Minnesota Attorney General.

How could this be?

Yes. You hint at just one of the reasons I said what I did.

Meanwhile, I have a fair amount of faith in the legal system once a case like this goes to trial in front of a jury. exhibit A is the Zimmerman trial.

For the price of a cup of coffee, $5 a month, you can help build the The Houston Courant.

Where the hell do these people buy their coffee?

G*ddamn it!! Have the forces that be be on the street when the verdict comes in and tell ‘em ‘shoot to kill’ if anyone starts breaking windows, starting fires, or similar mayhem. If this country doesn’t stop this sh*t soon it’ll swallow us whole. (We should have done this long ago.)

And if there was a snowball's chance in Hell of those charges sticking, you can be sure they'd be foremost.

All it’s about is causing chaos and unrest for the purpose of anarchy.

The collateral damage of property and lives lost is incidental to those trying to overthrow this country.

The chaos is to hide what is really going on. Like the border issue. FEMA, DHS and Border patrol is now overwhelmed, creating chaos. While that chaos is going to be highlighted in the news and get everyones focus off the “8 ball” the fascists are doing something else. Keep your eyes on Pelosi, Biden, Kamala and Schumer. The fascist take over is happening swiftly

When the event occurred, I recall seeing online pictures of the pages taken straight from the Minneapolis PD training manual that show how to apply the neck restraint that Chauvin used. I haven’t seen them since, but we can assume Chauvin’s lawyers have them

He was doing it by the book to prevent exactly what happened.

Yes indeed, how can this be? This lack of charges against Chauvin not mentioning race is incredible considering the portrayals of Floyd's arrest-related-death as a racist hate crime and cold-blooded murder.

What is even more astounding is that while this depiction of a racially motivated murder may have originated with Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the race hustlers, the grievance industry, and especially the Leftist “civil rights” group, it was repeated by even so-called law and order Republicans. Conservative commentators such as Sean Hannity, the late Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Prager all were anxious to denounce Derek Chauvin. Republican politicians could not wait to run in front of a camera to condemn Chauvin as a racist murderer without a trial. Even other police officers could not wait to express their outrage.

Presumption of innocence be damned!

That what started that stupid reach across the isle Rush did with the racists on The Breakfast Club where they humiliated Rush. Truly one of his lower moments in radio broadcast history. He accomplished nothing, but to fall for the media narrative, in a lame attempt to kiss the ass of people looking to play more race cards. Floyd died of a Fentenyal overdose. The autopsy showed no bruising around the neck or stress on the tracheae. Floyd was screaming he couldn't breathe with sitting in the back of a police car. If Chauvin should be accused of is reckless judgment.

Now after this finding,how about rounding up as many of the trouble-makers as possible who were convinced (apparently) of
Chauvin’s guilt & prosecute them instead?

Ellison deliberately withheld the bodycam video for months, allowing rioters to destroy entire neighborhoods in cities across the country. He is the one who should be on trial along with those in the Media-Dem Party who spread lies that were meant to deliberately fan the flames of rioting and armed insurrection.

Conviction...riots as it proves the Minneapolis PD is racist. Not Guilty...riots.
Guilty on a lesser charge.. riots

It is going to be a long hot summer in Minneapolis...what’s left of it.
