It Still Matters That The George Floyd Prosecutions Were Corrupted By Racial Politics

George Floyd died in 2020, but with another election coming up, the same race hustlers are back (this time against Jews), so it’s very important to understand how they operate.

We are watching the BLM crowd (this time acting under the Hamas banner) gear up again for violence before an election. It’s important to understand that this is all staged. One way to understand how Democrat politics operate is to look back at the political corruption surrounding George Floyd’s death.

On July 29, 2021, Peter Cahill, the presiding Minnesota State Court judge trying the four police officers indicted for George Floyd’s death, ordered the release of the prosecutors’ report detailing how Dr. Roger Mitchell, the then-medical examiner and Deputy Mayor for D.C., coerced the Hennepin County medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker.

The memo detailed Mitchell’s threat to damage Baker’s professional career with a critical op-ed in the Washington Post if Baker did not amend the language of his preliminary autopsy report by adding compression of the neck as a cause of death, something Baker had not believed was the case. Doing so would make the death a homicide. Baker’s ultimate report, which he’d changed in response to Mitchell’s political pressure, converted a death from natural causes into a justification for indicting four police officers for murder.

Floyd was pronounced dead on the evening of March 25, 2020. One day later, Baker conducted a careful autopsy that found no physical evidence that the officers applied excessive force. Instead, Baker suggested that Floyd’s death was from natural causes, not excess force, strangulation, or asphyxiation. Floyd had “severe” heart disease that put him at risk for a cardiac arrest under stress and exertion, something medical examiners see frequently.

The matter should have been over then. Three days after they received Baker’s initial report...

Dr. Roger Mitchell, the then-medical examiner and Deputy Mayor for D.C., should be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. The man should forever be denigrated as a traitor to the United States.

If you actually can’t breath, you are unable to say, much less shout, “I can’t breath.”

The knee-restraint Chauvin used was taught by the Minneapolis Police Dept and was in their instruction manual given to MPD cops

“would anyone know the name George Floyd if Derek Chauvin was black and George Floyd was white”

Absolutely not!

First of all, a force perpendicular to the spine puts a shear load on the spine, not a compression load, at least in a strict sense. The amount of force on the spine would be a function of the the amount of Chauvin’s body weight was supported by the left knee. Did the prosecution or defense show an analysis of how much load could have been on the left knee and thus the spine? Chauvin’s body weight had four possible support points, both knees and both feet. From what I was able to see from the body cam videos, the feet were in a position to support a load, as well as the right knee. The hands did not appeared to be significantly involved (but I didn’t watch all of the available videos). Slight changes to the position of Chauvin’s torso could likely cause a significant change to the force exerted by the left knee. The point I’m trying to make is that it is doubtful most of Chauvin’s weight was on the left knee.
