I haven’t watched the trial, but did the officers throwing Chauvin under the bus make any assertions as how the situation should have been handled differently? Anyone can say “he should have done it differently” but without specifying the right way (in their opinion) such a criticism is exceptionally weak.
I haven’t watched it either- I can’t stand that an officer is likely going to prison for something he wasn’t guilty of because of PC. I just hope the defense will get enough of their own ‘use of force’ experts to testify that the officers who are objecting to the procedure are wrong.
The left are claiming that because floyd was unconscious that he was ‘no longer a threat’, and the hold was ‘excessive force’ at that point- but the fact remains that many times an unconscious person will come to with a tremendous amount of strength and take unsuspecting officers by surprise- especially if the perp is high on drugs that enhance strength- Hopefully the case will be made that a violent drugged out suspect has to be controlled at all times, even after passing out, until they can be secured by paramedics on a gurney

They did nothing which they could have.. CYA! Floyd would have died anyway.. His heart stopped from to many drugs!!
