Officer Chauvin's Knee Was NOT on George Floyd's 'Neck' and 8 Other Things You Didn't Know About This Case
PJ Media ^ | 04/09/2021 | Victoria Taft

Posted on 04/09/2021 7:24:44 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin may not escape prosecution for one of the three charges against him for causing the death of George Floyd, but contrary to public opinion, the case against him is not cut and dried. Though radio stations have solemnly gone quiet for nearly nine minutes to remind Americans of the time Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck, Black Lives Matter fire-setters and looters with their violent antifa allies burned parts of American cities in retaliation for his death, and cops were forced to kneel, it turns out there’s a lot we didn’t know about the case.

Why not? There’s only one explanation. Prosecutors didn’t tell you. Antifa-friendly Attorney General Keith Ellison, who picked those multiple private attorneys from white-shoe firms to replace regular Hennepin County prosecutors, didn’t tell you. The media obviously didn’t tell you. And the threatening mob that recorded the horrific site of George Floyd handcuffed and prone on a Minneapolis street didn’t tell you. Black Lives Matter certainly didn’t tell you. This is the group that overtly lied about the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, Patrick Kimmons, Jacob Blake, and others.

Unfunny comedian Chelsea Handler may want to rush to judgment because “there is video of him” killing George Floyd.

But is there?

So pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so.

Many things have been revealed during the nearly two-week-long trial of Chauvin. We’re betting you didn’t know most of them. Here are just nine examples.

When it’s the defense time to play their cards, there will be a media blackout of the trial

The media created the George Floyd lie and they are hoping for cities to burn to profit from those lies

It will never come out in trial (that would strip our current law enforcement of the fig leaf of accountability) but I'd like to know if officer Chauvin passed his mandatory per-employment psych eval?

According to Dr. Clarissa Cole, fully half the people she tested and failed were hired anyway.

Source:

Dr. Clarissa Cole on After Hours AM April 17, 2019

(Start at 1:18:31)

Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!

Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?

Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.

He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.

Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…

Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.

Eric Olsen: Sure.

Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?

Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.

Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.

Eric Olsen: What?

Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.

Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?

Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways

Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?

Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.

And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…

Eric Olsen: What would cause one…

Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not

Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.

Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.

Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?

Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.

Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.

Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.

Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...

Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

(End at 1:23:29)

Think of that the next time you get pulled over, that cop who pulled you over for no reason you can discern, might, just might, be a known sociopath. Someone knew he was, and hired him anyway, and gave him a gun and absolute power over you.

It's a good idea to be very polite to him, ain't it?

“...Mr. Soros elected Minn. AG was told to prosecute and convict and he is following orders.....”

The more crap I see and hear, the more I’m beginning to believe that this “Mr. Soros” is our defacto POTUS.
He should be run out of this country on a rail...along with all his filthy ilk. Turn him over to Putin for prosecution.
Who authorized this WWII nazi criminal to come to the USA in the first place?...and why?
The Mossad should have taken his azz out years ago..why not?

The Average American will never read what the Defense presented. Main stream media is hiding the defense case.

See tagline...

“They hung Jesus on a cross.”

And even that is proof that witnessing is fickled. According to some religious organizations it was a stick.

The bloody glove.

Blood shrinks as it clots and dries, the better to close a wound.

If the blood shrunken glove did fit we'd know for a fact that OJ didn't do it, it was someone with much larger hands than OJ...

Him hollering proved he could breathe.

Van Johnson said the jury better come back with the right verdict or else there would be rioting. Smells like inciting.

Not Putin and Russia.

He crashed Thailand's economy, they haven't forgotten.

Better he lives out his days in a Thai prison, than a much more luxurious Russian one!

Notice there hasn’t been anything about the black and Asian cop there. How much more diversified could that group of cops have been but they go for one of the white cops.

I watched quite a bit of the testimony yesterday. It was not a good day for the defense, but the trial doesn’t really begin until the defense presents its case.

The autopsy report contained toxicology findings that George Floyd had almost 3.5 to 4 times the amount of drugs in his system required to cause a fatal overdose due to respiratory failure.

Doesn’t surprise me, at all. I’ve had enough encounters with law enforce agents, including assistant U.S. Marshals, to realize that there are a lot of knuckle-draggers in law enforcement.

Clue #1 that a cop is unstable; they have shaved heads.

It is dishonest reporting, but the defense has not actually begun its case in chief. What is happening now is the defense lawyers cross examining the prosecution witnesses.

This is a political show trial. Charges ought not to have been brought.

Another question is why the Minnesota Attorney General took charge of the prosecution rather than the local county prosecutor?

Perhaps the local county prosecutor wasn’t a Soros installed agent?

Reference post # 39. Good answer, Nully. Probably true also. This is a political trial held before a Kangaroo Court. Evidence and truth do not matter.
