OK. More riots, coast to coast. Right. I saw the vid. Chauvin had a hand in that scumbag Floyd’s death for sure. Let him rot.

What thing did Chauvin do that resulted in Floyd's death?

If he killed him, you ought to be able to tell us what he did that was fatal.

Oh, and by the way, there have been several experiments done to show that kneeling on someone for 9 minutes is not fatal. I recall reading one freeper who said he verified it himself by having someone kneel on him for 9 minutes.

Apparently it is just uncomfortable, but not dangerous. I suppose this is why the Minneapolis police told their officers to use this technique in their training manual.

4:44 in this vid it's clear his knee's down on Floyd's neck:

Floyd was a scumbag. But he didn't deserve to die like that. How many damn times does someone have to say "I can't breathe!" and show signs of extreme physical distress before you take him seriously and change up restraint tactics so that he can breathe?

Floyd was already cuffed before he ended up on the ground. He should have been stuffed into the squad car in spite of his protestations and driven to the station pronto. Yeah, I know - armchair quarterbacking blablabla - but there was no excuse for these cops not to back off when it was becoming clear that yes, Floyd actually was in physical distress. They had plenty of time to do that before he died.
