While it's clear to me that Chauvin was guilty of manslaughter,...

How is this clear to you? The facts I see make it clear to me that George Floyd died of a drug overdose and Derick Chauvin did not kill him.

What exactly did Chauvin do that caused Floyd's death?

You don’t believe putting his knee on his neck contributed to suffocation?

It was manslaughter...not the charges he was brought up on an convicted of. They were political charges because apparently manslaughter wasn’t “bad enough” to charge him with.

Well, for openers there is the autopsy. Then there is the video.

The bromide that Floyd, who was no saint, OD’d, is speculation, pushed by people who prefer a specific narrative.

You can hate riots, cherish the rule of law, and find Chauvin guilty and Floyd a loser.

Exactly, I use to wrestle in High School and all the time opponents would have their knee on the back of my neck and I never had a problem breathing.

I dare anyone to try it for themselves, tell me if you can’t breathe. It’s ridiculous. They are trying to equate a knee on the FRONT of your neck to the back of the neck which is ridiculous.

This wrestling coach showed it, and they blasted him for telling the truth.......
