Chauvin, Lane, Kueng, and Thao: The George Floyd Fall Guys.

It is said that, in every large organization, the fecal matter flows downhill. Anyone who has ever worked in government can attest to the truth of that statement. But, for dramatic proof of that proposition, take a look at this picture.

This is an illustration from the Minneapolis Police Department’s official training materials on how to safely and properly subdue a suspect suffering from “excited delirium,” a potentially lethal medical condition which, due to the rising use and abuse of illicit drugs, has grown to epidemic proportions on the streets of America.

Look closely. The depicted suspect is flat on the ground with his head turned to the side in what the illustration calls “the recovery position to alleviate positional asphyxia.” The officer on the left is kneeling on the side of the suspect’s neck.

Look familiar?

Could this and related parts of the officially approved and mandated Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) training curriculum be why former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin saw fit to kneel on the side of George Floyd’s neck? And could it be the reason why former officers Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao assisted Chauvin as he knelt on the side of Floyd’s neck?

As will be explained in detail below, throughout Floyd’s confrontation with the police, he was at imminent risk of death from sudden cardiac arrhythmia caused by excited delirium. So it was that these officers followed the MPD’s official procedures for how to properly and safely subdue someone in that life-threatening condition. In doing so, they were not only keeping Floyd in the prescribed “recovery position” to alleviate his risk of asphyxiation, they were also keeping an agitated and delirious Floyd from harming himself as they awaited the arrival of the ambulance

Saint Floyd died of a drug overdose.

I watched the full bodycam footage. They did nothing wrong.

And I just learned today that he died in the hospital of an overdose.

Those guys are gonna walk and should be offered their jobs back. Of course, they should also refuse. Politics destroyed their careers.

If there is any truth to this their trial is going to be the Fustercluck of the Century. They’ll get off in a jury verdict or on appeal, and then the riots will start again.

“But it was in the training manual” is a pretty hard defense to overcome.

[shelterguy]

“””And I just learned today that he died in the hospital of an overdose.””””

I have been saying that form the beginning. Many of the freepers called me names that would curl your hair.

Where all those geniuses now?

Jerk!

This is one of the reasons I suspect they will be found not guilty on the most serious or possibly all charges. They were following dept policy and dealing with Floyd who had lethal doses of drugs in his system.

[volunbeer]

There will be riots no matter what.

Officially sanctioned, in the training manual, and taught to recruits. Safe and effective when perps are hopped up on dope. Which the numerous videos of Floyd show he was.

The more I see and hear about this...including the video of him ditching a very small white envelope (the type that drugs are sold in) the more I think that he was *entirely* responsible,not just partially responsible,for his own death.

Just like Saint Trayvon and Saint Gentle Giant.

[carikadon]

I agreed with you from the beginning.

[throwthebumsout]

The more that I read and hear about this case the more it angers me. These officers did absolutely nothing wrong. Politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle were quick to pre-judge and condemn them.

[Guenevere]

Bttt

[shelterguy]

So you were the one sane freeper....

[shelterguy]

“””Politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle were quick to pre-judge and condemn them.””””

Most FREEPERS were quick to pre-judge and condemn them.

[Leaning Right]

I’m still confused (a common state with me). Why would it be better to put your knee on the neck instead of the head? Does anyone here know?

[fr_freak]

This whole thing is Rodney King revisited. In that case, the media, as usual, showed only the parts of the video where the King was getting walloped by the cops like it was a gang beating. They didn’t show the minutes before that where, after a high-speed chase, King was tackling officers like a wild animal. The result was massive riots in LA.

The media did the same here. I have to admit, even though I never thought the cops deliberately killed the guy, and certainly not because of his race, it still seemed to me like they behaved excessively, but then you see the rest of the story. The media lied (again), the cops were railroaded, and the communists used the whole thing as an excuse to riot and terrorize for the last 2.5 months.

F the communist media.

Some of us here tried to point out the officer was following procedure, only to be verbally assualted by other posters, way smarter than i, on this website.
