When five police officers can't apprehend one guy without killing him, this is an indictment to just how poorly trained police officers in America are
When a guy is on drugs, it can alter their ability to feel pain, ability to think, and can make situations a whole lot worse. Floyd was a big dude.
Watch this video of this boy high on pcp. He maybe weighs 150 to 160 pounds. Took more than 5 cops to subdue him.

But obviously in Floyds case technically it was the high ranking officer making the decisions. The other 3 were new officers right out of training. They were essentially following orders.

When George said I cant breathe, Chauvin should have got off his neck. What do you or Chauvin think would happen when you stop someone's breath? Is that how the officers are trained to restrain someone?

He should have plead guilty, and accept responsibilty. Where is the remorse? Why was he trying to transfer his assets to his ex wife?

He should have taken the stand and explain to the public what happened and how he didnt intend to kill Floyd. Why didnt he?
He would have been advised by his lawyer not to and that it would lose the case if he did. His lawyer was barely capable though. I'd have fired him first day if he was my defense. I don't believe Chauvin intended to kill Floyd. Floyd was a big man and police hear all the time criminals screaming that they are being hurt when they aren't.

I recall I was away from home one night and when I came back hubby said "You missed the show last night"! I asked why. He said cops were at the neighbors house a few doors down. There was such a fuss he stepped out on our porch and saw a heavy set woman who was drunk fighting and screaming at the cops. Hubby said she was screaming "Stop hitting me! You're going to kill me!" Hubby laughed and said no one was even near her, then she began hitting herself. Now this is in a quiet neighborhood where everyone has little kids, responsibilities and work for a living. This doesn't happen in our neighborhood. I think that family has since moved away.

I think police become jaded after a while, they've heard it all. People lie in their faces. I don't believe Chauvin intended to kill Floyd. And I don't believe it had anything to do with race. Now the case has set a precedent. A young black girl just attempted to murder another black girl with a knife and a cop shot her. And here we go all over again with the cop was racist.

I think there comes a point when people say enough is enough.
Race riots in america have been happening for years and years.

back in the 30s because some white folk were snobby, and didnt want to work on the same line with black folk at the Packard cars in detroit, the entire city was thrown in to disarray. People died because of this?!

Its like the dr suess sneetches story all the time. Ridiculous.
There are race issues in America because politicians egg it on.

Your confused because it was unlawful. Minnesota law defines these as in the OP. By definition 2 of the charges definitely was not proven in the evidence. Neither was the idea of a racist motive. But I feel they felt the pressure of the mob, politicians, and the president.
The "president" and his sidekick said what side they were on before the verdict came out. And Maxine Waters was all up in it, and flapping her mouth. The crowd can do the happy dance now, but we'll have to wait and see what the appeal process brings.

Technically he was complaining about not being able to breathe before anyone touched him. But continued to resist arrest. His autopsy showed a lethal dose of fentanyl which impacts breathing. Two contradicting autopsies. Did officer Chauvin act in neglect and should be charged with manslaughter? I believe so. Was it his intention to kill him? To prove this, you must have evidence showing he wanted to kill Floyd. To know that, you must know his thoughts. Good luck proving that in less you have a voice recording or something premeditated.

Was the jury influenced by the rioting, politicians, media, and the president? Likely but this also must be proved.

It seems to be that way due to two charges that are defined under Minnesota state law do not fit the evidence.

If this has become a new reality then we are entering into a new judicial system operated by mob rule, opinions, feelings, and no longer facts.

Just as the trial was taking place we had two more shootings that the media pushed to fit the narrative that America is systemically racist. Each case was a justified shooting under the law. One was to prevent a girl from being stabbed and the other was a kid gang member who was shooting at cars at night, at 2:00 in the morning. He ran and decided to turn to face the police as he was dropping the gun in the dark.

Emotion and feelings now defeat facts.

We cry for the criminal while wishing death on the police. Sad times in America.
His lawyer was horrible and should have been fired. Now Floyd is a martyr and people are saying God answered their prayers. As you said, this man was a career criminal. And now what have we got going? Every time a POC is shot by police it's a race issue. And if you disagree you are a racist. IDK what I would have done had I been on that jury, I could not have gone with the flow. Reminds me of an old movie I just watched "12 Angry Men". Very pertinent to our times I think.

Shoot I have a female German Shepard who is a lot less than 150 pounds and when she decides she's going after something or someone, my 6'4, 220 hubby can't hold her back and she's just a dog. Someone on drugs certainly has power that seems super human. My mother was a nurse and told stories of people coming in high and they'd have to get orderlies in to subdue them. One nurse was tossed across the room like a rag doll. Floyd was a big man with a lot of power.

Our country is falling right in line with the ways of the crowd wanting Jesus to die...


Matthew 27:16-23
New King James Version

16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”


Did you hear Nancy Pelosi? "Thank you for your sacrifice, George Floyd. You gave your life to save others." In my own words. They kneel for him, create murals, statues, chant say his name (which they (BLM leaders) admitted to being connected to witchcraft), and then turn around and demand more federal power while ignoring the black lives being destroyed in Chicago, abortion, or NYC.

This is the new religion of the woke Leftists. Worshipping a drug abuser only because he is black. Race is everything, and Black Racism is the new ideology and religion. You can do anything destructive as long as you are black. They all protected Maxine Waters while they impeached Trump falsely.

Did you know that not wanting Washington D.C. as the 51st state is racist? The liberal side of the House thinks so in congress.

What really makes me mad is when liberals try to promote the teaching that my kids should feel repentful for being white.

Or the Marxist Critical Race theory which is specifically designed for creating race division and now Biden wants it taught in all public schools. Time to build our own private schools and teach that all people are equal in the eyes of God. We have no room for hate when we are called to love.

i haven't heard of pcp unless that's another name for Fentyl?

he was on meth and Fent, that has been established as far as i can see

also, it was supposedly proven in court he was NOT strangulated and that the move the cops did.. called a Wisconsin Knee was LEGAL and could NOT kill anyone bc only one side of the neck was impacted, not the windpipe..

looks to me like manslaughter at best... Looks to me, actually, like Floyd was about to die anyway... blocked arteries, dangerous drugs, ...

actually, it is worse than that.

blm and etc.. are USING Blacks and supposed "oppression" as an excuse.. a weapon to implement radical "social reforms" But you know Reform isn't the right word bc that word implies making things BETTER...

not hardly..

the Left have implemented Communism.. We just aren't to Venezuela-like communism YET. But if something isn't done to restore vote integrity... we will be there soon enough

It should now be obvious to all that Satan and his demons have taken total control of the Democrats and their supporters + BLM + Antifa. So you can start by homeschooling your children, and then get together with like-minded Christians to set up a Christian school. It does not have to be complicated if you focus on the 3 Rs + History, Geography, and Bible Knowledge. My wife and I are homeschooling our grandsons, and they are going just fine. Both are A+ students. And they are learning and memorizing from the Bible also.

As I have already said, the time is right for a military coup. But where are the patriotic generals?

excellent advice.

And Christians need to be just as "pushy" as the radical, evil ones

otherwise, we are going to be doormatted..

Yes PCP was not in his system but the point of the video is that when you are on drugs, obviously some are worse than others, it can greatly affect how you respond to situations. Also from personal experience when the adrenaline starts pumping, you really can withstand things you normally wouldn't. Also from my high school days, I on one occasion decided to get high on marijuana and vodka at the same time. I got so torn up and the police showed up. I was running through thorns barefooted ( no pain) I ran into a neighbors clothesline with my neck. Bleeding ear to ear it took me off my feet and straight on my back. Laughing the whole time.

Also if you watch the video, you will see what you describe. A blood choke takes both sides of the neck being compressed. A wind choke takes the windpipe. His knee was on the back/side of Floyd's neck. Which may not have even hit the right side vein. It takes putting pressure on both.

In a blood choke, you attack the sides of the neck! This pressure on the side of the neck compresses the arteries and veins that circulate blood to and from the brain, causing your target to blackout. Properly applied a blood choke can knock someone out in about 10 seconds, and sometimes even less.

And from personal experience, it does usually take less than 10 seconds. Once out, if blood flow isn't continued, they can die in less than 10 seconds also.

blood-chokes-x-3.jpg

The two on the left are the blood choke. One on the right is the air or wind choke. One compresses the veins leading to the brain on each side of your neck, while the other compresses the windpipe. Blood chokes are safer due to how easy it is to break the windpipe. If you break that, the only way to save them is to cut a slot in their neck where the windpipe is so that they can get outside air.

We are homeschooling our kids. My wife and another homeschool mom are looking to start a Christian school. Starting out with handful of kids basically doing home school curriculum. But we must fight for school choice to make these options easier.

Floyd was a big guy. So what? Big guys dont feel pain, so you have to subject them to cruel and inhumane treatment?

Not only did he say he cant breathe, the big man cried out for his mama, and even then no mercy was shown. Even if floyd was lying when he said he couldnt breathe, Chauvin should have taken heed. Floyd did not have a gun or was going to escape from them or kill anyone. No need for such excessive force.

If in fact he had complained before about not being able to breathe, then all the more reason for the officer not to have put his knee on that man's neck.
