He should, he’s not guilty and George Floyd died of self induced drug issues. He was scum and his death should have been celebrated.
Yes, to a certain extent in both cases.
“glorified Floyd and demonized Chauvin.”.........Hard put to determine what could possibly be glorified about Floyd. Everything I know of says he was a criminal.
I do not think he received a fair trial either. In spite of the video...we know it wasn’t Chauvin’s knee on the neck that killed Floyd, it was the massive amount of illegal drugs in his system. The but-for link...is seriously in doubt. It’s just as likely Floyd would have died sitting in the back of the cop car...as under Chauvin’s knee.
Chauvin was harsh in how he treated Floyd...but that is life on the streets. Had Floyd simply cooperated and stayed in the car...instead of getting emotional and struggling...he wouldn’t have found himself on the ground.
Not only that...but I personally read the police procedures handbook online, of Minneapolis, and Chauvin followed those procedures (including, very specifically, the knee on the neck) to a tee...for obviously drugged-out perps. (The big danger with those on drugs is that they choke on their own vomit...so rolling them on their stomach, and keeping them from moving...with a knee, WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE POLICE MANUAL SAID TO DO.
The city (and everyone) was anxious to blame Chauvin, just because he was a white cop...without looking at those most at fault—the writers of the manual, the city, and Floyd himself.
Derek Chauvin did NOTHING WRONG!
NOTHING!
DID HIS JOB, according to established procedures.
Derek Chauvin DID NOT KILL George Floyd!
George Floyd KILLED HIMSELF!
The world is a better, safer place without George Floyd in it.
he did not receive a fair trial....he received a debacle of justice....
we had multiple top politicos announcing that Chavin was guilty of MURDER all across the country....
i know, it was sick- they all are guilty of sending an innocent man to prison- may they reap what they have sown
