Newly Released George Floyd Body Cam Footage Should Make Keith Ellison Nervous
American Thinker.com ^ | August 5, 2020 | Parker Beauregard

Those of us that care about actual justice can only view the newly leaked arrest video of George Floyd in one way: damning to the media narrative.

A viewing of the video reveals that the events leading up to Floyd's unfortunate, entirely avoidable death are not as they initially seemed, and its release is nothing short of tossing a massive wrench into the agenda-driven gears of media and political discourse. The four officers might well be guilty of something, but the current second-degree charge of murder is not one of them. The political overreach in the case will cause nothing short of absolute chaos when the verdict is read.

In the immediate aftermath of the Floyd incident this past May, Minnesota's top lawman, an activist first and Democrat attorney general second by the name of Keith Ellison, recommended a third-degree murder charge for Derek Chauvin and the three assisting officers. Under Minnesota statute, third-degree murder would include an action that is "without intent to effect the death of any person" yet "causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life."

Taking the route of unintentional murder seemed appropriate, given that a routine interaction culminated in the presumably accidental death of an offender in custody. We didn't know all of the facts, but there was near unanimity that something bad had happened and that a legal consequence seemed, at the very least, legitimate.

Being a UPOS should make ‘keef’ nervous but it doesn’t. He’s only interested in ensuring a good prosecution occurs. Justice? Meh! Apparently over-rated. Well for some anyway.

I don’t think he is smart enough or Savvy enough to know that he should be concerned. He has the full weight and power of the media on his side as well as all of the Soros-bought officials on his side. I doubt he is concerned at this point. That could however change.

i thought it was interesting to see the video was leaked to the UK Daily Mail.

Why to a foreign media and not the US media???

Funny how it took months to release the body cam footage.

Almost like to cover up something.

Why should Ellison be nervous?

He is well-protected by the Leftist media and "woke" culture in Minnesota.

These people are never held accountable.

It should have been released in full from the start. That was part of the problem. Yes the POS that had hi sknee on Floyd’s neck for 5 minutes to an hour depending on what news you read is an idiot and deserves what he gets but had Floyd simply complied he’d be walking around today.

Really? US media would never have shown this video had it not been leaked by someone else.

Ask if the video is real or a deep-fake, I don’t know.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it right now:

JURY NULLIFICATION.

The jury (if selected, else a trial by judge) will ignore the law, the video and the findings and vote to convict these four officers anyway, fearing an acquittal would mean more rioting and a release of their names to the public for retribution by the Burn Loot Murder crowd.

Mark this post, that's what's going to happen. I'm calling it right now.

the video that I particular like is the one where Floyd is sitting against a wall a quickly,quietly drops a very small white envelope (obviously drugs) where the cops were unlikely to see.

A convicted felon (10 years...armed robbery) in possession of heroin,or fentanyl or meth...no good!

Anyone who thinks our Courts are about “justice”, stopped paying attention to the System decades ago.

Damn the facts, damn the evidence, damn the Law... only the Narrative counts.

Truth. The Democrat-Farm-Labor mafia up here controls everything. Either overtly or covertly, whatever necessary to maintain power.

Never. We never will.

If we were going to. We’d already be doing it.

Change my mind.

I watched the video

I don’t think he’s a POS anymore.

Even a guy in cuffs that IS THAT ####ING HIGH can do damage and he’s was flying.

He couldn’t breathe before they even did ANYTHING in the car.

Because he had a ton of hardcore drugs, including fent, in him

The DA is interested in kowtowing to the racist blacks to whom the whole of the democrat party are beholden.

Absent just a few blacks, there is no Democrat party power. The DA knows in no uncertain terms that he must kiss racist black ass and then lick his lips and say yum yum.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You make a good point but one thing in favor of acquittal is that it would fuel the insane push from leftists to destroy the country as the rioting and division ensuing after an acquittal would make what we’ve seen recently seem like child’s play.
