The defense turned the tables this week in the Derek Chauvin case, getting the star prosecution witness, the police chief, to admit that the videos appear to show Chauvin kneeling on George Floyds' shoulder blade, not his neck. The prosecution has also paraded a bunch of police witnesses to say knee-on-neck has never been allowed as part of police training, except it most certainly was. Yet another police witness admitted that a knee to side-of-neck pin should render a person unconscious in ten seconds, yet Mr. Floyd famously resisted for nine minutes.
Add to that autopsy showed bruises not on his neck, but on his shoulders, right where Officer Chauvin is going to insist, and the video shows, he was restraining George Floyd in a distinctly non-lethal place. In fact, a similar kind of knee to the shoulder pin happens every day on high school wrestling mats without fatalities.
So, we have the prosecution witnesses potentially perjuring and gravely contradicting their own case. In a normal trial, that would be enough to find Officer Chauvin innocent of criminal charges. He simply would not have the intent to injure Mr. Floyd. Some have objected that the defense is confusing the issue by bringing up the crowd distracting the police, saying this shows that the defense is not certain it can prove the police acted by the book, by staying on top of Floyd too long. Well, it certainly looks as though Chauvin and the others lost track of time, partly having to deal with the hostile crowd. But that's a case of civil negligence, not criminal intent.
This is no ordinary trial, and the jurors are being sufficiently frightened to bring in a guilty verdict. BLM is threatening riots

Why doesn’t Obama and Holder’s “FBI” throw tantrums and start arresting everyone when BLM throws a riot? Is it because riots are not allowed only on January 6th? January 6th seems to have some kind of significance to the Obama “FBI” and their chimpanzees in the far-left, “mainstream media”.
Is there a video of this?
Why is it that EVERY ONE of these national “racism” mega-stories involves a BLACK CRIMINAL. Think Zimmerman-Martin. Think Ferguson. Now this. It’s because they first suppress the crime to get blacks to buy-in with the “angel image” and fake “racism”. The emotion is so strong, blacks stick with the lie. When THE TRUTH comes out, whites go with that. So they create division because blacks stick with their emotions, and whites go with reason.
It’s all about the destruction of our blessed nation.
The press ought to be held criminally liable.
Bust that window and grab yourself a color TV for justice. The Leftist media wants a riot because they haven’t had one in a while. Facts be damned.
Apparently in the entire USA, they haven’t been able to find a single Black physicist, Black CEO, Black Minister, Black professor, or Black middle-class office worker who has had a violent run-in with police. BLM and their political masters would love to find such a case, but they can't
Only person responsible for George Floyd’s death is George Floyd.
That being said let the MSM lies continue and cities burning begin.
The left can’t handle truth.
Might be a good idea to stock up on food and ammo.

Summer is coming and it’s going to another grand time to ‘go shopping’ for these animals.
Say WHAAAAAAAAAA’ ????!!!! DeydinduNUFFIN’!!!!
I pity those serving on this jury. They are being intimidated by the threat of riot and even their personal safety if they do not convict Chauvin. One prospective juror was very candid about this and said he was afraid for himself and his family if his name would be leaked. He was dismissed from jury duty. Pray for the safety of the other jurors as they and their families will quickly be targets for BLM mobs
I am firmly convinced riots are inevitable and are being planned regardless of the verdict. Even a conviction on the most serious felony charges would not be enough and would be seen as a vindication of charges of systemic racism and a reason to riot. Conviction on lesser charges or God forbid acquittal would set all of Minneapolis ablaze in hours.
The milquetoast Mayor of Minneapolis and our idiot Governor who both stood by while Minneapolis burned last summer will do little or nothing to quell the riots. Federal intervention by sleepy Joe won’t happen either. Expect Minneapolis to be burning this summer and lots of other cities too.
***Videos*** appear to show Chauvin kneeling on George Floyds’ shoulder blade, **not his neck**.
Add to that autopsy showed bruises *not* on his neck, but on *his shoulders*.
I can hear the race baiters now hey man the video was photo shopped edited by the crackers.....................
Floyd was already a dead man walking with all the drugs in him could have killed two people per autopsy.
