I’ve known this was BS since the start.

I’m a military pilot, but to qualify for a handgun and shotgun in retirement in Israel, I needed to get small arms experience on my service record, so I volunteered for what was essentially officer-of-the-day duty on the ground at a border crossing.

Went through training for, and used, knee-to-neck restraint.

Was taught anytime a person can complain they can’t breath — well, then they can breath.

It’s the silent ones who appear to go to sleep where you’ve fucked up.

Other than the optics looking bad, I don’t they will be convicted of anything. Good chance Atlanta may follow suit.
Good chance we’ll see more rioting.

[L]et’s be clear: the actions of Chauvin and the other officers were absolutely wrong.

Virtue signalling whities should be shot.

I give him a pass.

This is literally the only article on the Internet that goes through the facts objectively.

He had to do what he had to do to get it published.

The final autopsy is the same: it says murder as the conclusion so the medical examiner can avoid being stoned, then goes on to find that he died of a drug overdose.

It’s a passive aggressive way of dealing with the Wokestopo.

I prefer a direct approach myself, but not everyone is in a position to do that.

The post is very wordy. So forgive me if I just scanned it and missed something.

My problem with Officer Chauvin Is that he continued to press on Floyd‘s neck for a few minutes after Floyd stopped talking. And he continued to press on Floyd’s neck even after Floyd evidently lost control of his bladder. I see that as a murder.

Many years ago I was talking to a volunteer fireman during a break at work. He was saying how firemen use a neck hold to drag uncooperative folks out of a burning building. He said that it was 100% effective. I doubted that. So he put me in that hold. I went unconscious in about 10 seconds. Then he let go. He could have held me for about two more minutes. Then I’m sure I would have died.

That would have been murder.

EXCEPT they arrested a black man.

Except they shot a fleeing man.

Wrong victim.

The coroner said kneeling on the neck contributed to his death. That was enough to charge him.

That’s why the 12 person jury is the greatest single legal protection you have in the USA.

Worked for OJ ...

Yeah, you probably need to read the article.

It’s easier to read at the link.

The final autopsy findings also conflict with the conclusion of the autopsy. Which tells me the coroner did what he was told but was intellectually honest enough so that any defense lawyer can get him off.

Most notably, there were no petechia, among other things (making death from strangulation highly unlikely)

The lack of petechia wasn’t even known at the time of writing this article.

According to section, 5-311 USE OF NECK RESTRAINTS AND CHOKE HOLDS, of the Minneapolis Poice Department Policy, which the policeman was seen using:
Neck Restraint: Non-deadly force option. Defined as compressing one or both sides of a person’s neck with an arm or leg, without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway (front of the neck).

Sorry but I disagree. The cop kept his knee on Floyd’s neck long after he could produce any resistance, especially after FLoyd lost consciousness.

I thought from the git-go that they overcharged, given the facts in evidence. Unintentional manslaughter is gonna be the best they can get unless the legal process is manipulated. And they are gonna try for sure.

Disagree all you want, but you’re wrong.

The cause of death was conclusively not asphyxiation, but excited delirium syndrome, which George was suffering from long before the knee restraint.

Please help me out here. You know more about this incident than I do. (I’m serious when I say that.) Let’s say that Officer Chauvin took his knee off of Floyd‘s neck the instant Floyd stopped talking.

Based on what you know, do you think Floyd would have survived?
