His body camera or those of the other officers would show that move.

This is going to sound like a conspiracy theory, but hear me out.

The Fentanyl that killed George Floyd was made in China, and shipped here with the merest fig leaf of “plausible deniability”. Nothing, at all, happens in China without the CCP’s assent at mininum.

Now, while most of the hooligans who burned American cities for 6 months last year were simple homeless, mentally ill and common criminals but those sorts of people can’t organize breakfast, let alone a riot. A small cadre of Antifa subversives could, and did provide the organizational brains but they had help. And not just from the Democratic Socialist and Democrat party operatives, IMHO.

I think they had help, and money, from the CCP. There was just too much coordination going on for this to have been organically developed by only domestic malcontents.

Riots and looting are happening regardless of the verdict

Guilty on all counts ...... celebrate in the street which will quickly descend into chaos, violence, and looting.

Guilty on any lesser charge .... riots in the streets protesting the injustice that Chauvin isn’t hanging from a lamppost outside the courthouse.

Innocent ..... the entire country burns to the ground.

The outcome of the trial does not matter.

NOTHING in the Medical Examiner’s autopsy supports such a term, either.

Floyd choked on his Fentynal.

He needs to be acquitted of ALL charges.

I’m wondering now if I have an assault shotgun? It has a full choke!

And had the nine-time felon been in prison where his sorry butt belonged, none of this would have happened...

George Floyd was connected to a comatose Cajun man who is part of a sleep experiment where he is denied the ability to dream.

The comatose man's subconscious is able to physically manifest a vengeful monstrosity, the "Paramafait," a legendary Cajun boogeyman covered with Spanish Moss who dispatches anybody who wronged the sleeping man using the "boogeyman blood choke."

95% of the responsibility for this tragedy falls squarely on Floyd. He made numerous bad choice for years leading up to the last second before his expiration.

He meant that Chauvin was cutting off the blood supply to the brain by compressing the carotid artery(s) with a sleeper hold.

Blood choke? Wait, I thought it was an assault choke.

Doesn’t matter. The riots coming when this one ends will be something to behold.

I think I saw it in pro wrastlin’ when I was a kid......more commonly known as “the sleeper hold”

"...win-win..."


Totally agree with your post above. Rioters will use either ruling to satisfy their ends.
My guess is jurors are simultaneously eager for their future book deals while also petrified with fear about the mob.

“Riots and looting are happening regardless of the verdict”

Of course, but I’m wondering if the intensity of the riots will vary depending upon the outcome of the trial.
I live in Minneapolis so I’ll let you know.

Someone should invent a riot-o-meter machine.

I won’t give Twitter the traffic. Does the prosecution have a video of this so-called “blood-choke” as claimed by the witness?

You just now watched the video? It’s been out for months now. Did you watch any other videos of GF from that day? Because they show an entirely different scenario and I’m sure the defense will be playing those for the jury too.

This was a black male witness, who was a wrestling and martial arts instructor. He rambled on and on about his experience. He happened upon the event and was the person who told the cops to feel his pulse. He says he recognized it as a blood choke. He also referred to it once as a kill choke. He had to be admonished by the judge to just refer to what he saw and not what he thought.
