George Floyd is a tragedy but making a martyr of a failed man is wrong. Floyd took his life probably when he started taking drugs. Officer Derek Chauvin, the policeman should have been pulled back from the "overworked policeman's abyss" when he could no longer function properly...those witnesses should have stopped him, they didn't. George Floyd had given the police a hard time due to Floyd's drugged condition...a Perfect Storm for Law and Order.

Floyd probably would have died shortly without help from Chauvin. A Perfect Tragedy caused by the Perfect Storm.

“Blood choke”. Scientifically meaningless but emotionally charged term.

“Sir I refer you to the coroners report. Can you point out the term “blood choke” anywhere in it? Anywhere at all?”

I think the Democrats were planning to do something to poison race relations in advance of the election. George Floyd’s death conveniently served their purposes. If he had died of an overdose at home, they would have seized on another incident involving someone else as long as a “person of color” could be portrayed as a victim of a white person.

Was this that “idiot” (I use the term clinically now) girl who worked at the gas station?

Yeah ... she knew few words outside of ‘cuss’ words, to her own admission ...

“George Floyd is a tragedy ....”

I totally agree and I think that the jury will too. Chauvin will likely found guilty of the lesser charges and the riots and looting will commence with a vengeance.

I can’t wait.

Of course they were. They’re Democrats. It’s what they do.

The coroners report is just one piece of evidence. It does not contain “facts” that the jury must accept. The jury will determine the “facts”.

In this case I am pretty sure they will make a determination that the actions of Chauvin were a contributing factor in his death and that “following the procedure manual” is not going to justify the homicide.

He’s going to jail.

The only question that matters is did he follow the stated procedures? Whether or not you agree with said procedures is immaterial.

The answer to that question will determine his fate.

“... to poison race relations in advance of the election...”

I cannot think of any election when the Democrats have not used race to influence the electorate. It is in their DNA!!!

“Blood choke”.

Worse, it was a fully semi-automatic, high capacity caliber clip, cisnorm, assault- choke.

Street parlance for carotid artery restriction...

Donald Williams’ diagnosis-from-a-distance is still a neat trick though...I’d prefer the court consider the official autopsy report, unless opinion has finally replaced evidence in our criminal justice system...

I suppose Mr. William’s (aka “Deathwish”) past as an MMA fighter gives him street cred (maybe speaking from personal experience?), and the jury will ooh! and ahh! at his extensive knowledge of thuggery and its application...Which is all the prosecutor wants anyway...

Minds will be manipulated and the prosecution will have the verdict they seek, and everyone after all just wants this case to go away and someone to be to blame...George Floyd is unavailable, so...

Blood choke?

Best be a “crip choke,” too, or there’s gonna be jealousy in da ‘hood.

Does the witness mean a Blood choke as compared to a Crip choke?

Is it named after the choker or the person being choked? Which gang is the witness claiming George Floyd belonged to?

The jury can make all sorts of stupid decisions, but since he already had a fatal amount of drugs in his system and was already complaining that he couldn’t breath even before the “blood choke,” I would set him free, and hopefully onto the next Saint Floyd!
