So you're telling me that a 6ft 4in Black man who was going about his day, able to drive, pick up items from the store, and walk straight, was gonna drop dead at that exact moment even if he didn't have this interaction and a cop hold his knee into his neck for 9 minutes? That the police officer had NOTHING to do with his death and that this man was just going to magically drop dead anyways?..

That is what Republicans want you to believe

So what do you guys think so far about the witnesses the state has brought in? I think they were all good honestly, each had a unique view and take on what happened. The fire fighter emt may have been the most damning. And well the couple of kids were crying as they explained what they witnessed. And then the old man was crying when seeing himself in the video and what was happening to george floyd. I think the emt cried at some point. Will all this real emotion help sway a jury? The MMA guy was very smart sounding and had a bunch of good information about chokes and what he witnessed. Well the medical experts haven't even came in yet, dont know what they will say to sway a juror

Hopefully the jury is swayed more by facts than by emotion whatever the result is.

If he is convicted of manslaughter but not murder, I wonder how bad the riots will be. Probably just as bad if he isn't convicted at either

They're going to burn Minneapolis to the ground.

Or at least all the police precincts.

Even if he got a slap on the wrist, it'll be seen as a literal declaration of war on black people in Minneapolis

If one side refuses to live up to their end of the social contract then the other side is no longer obliged to live by it either.

When he walks it will be a declaration that police can do anything they want, anytime they want, however they want, to whomever they want. I don't want to live in that world and neither should you. If rioting is what finally brings change, then riots it is.

@jstewart01

Yes i actually started crying when the old black man was crying because i imagined how terrible his regret is and after a whole year how he can cry that much for what he witnessed.

Anyways though this bodycam stuff is crazy. I have a belief now that floyd was experiencing a bad panic attack because of his past history with police. He does not look like someone overdosing on drugs. He is totally clear with his words and his actions are similar to a person who both have claustrophobia and a lot of anxiety. It might look to some like he is resisting arrest but he his movements are not purposefully done to hurt a cop or escape, they are from his panic attack and disbelief in the situation. I hate everyone of these damn cops

I've seen people totally argue that this is the case which doesn't make a lick of sense considering the dude was just fine BEFORE the cops put a fucking knee on the guy's neck for 9 minutes. Good lord, I get angry just thinking about this shit.

In a weird way Im thankful that these people are voicing this opinion.

Its nice when the racists show you who they are so you know you dont have to deal with them anymore.

Didn't the witness today even say that Floyd couldn't finish his sentences cause he was too high? Probably a miracle he didn't kill someone before when driving around that high.

Does this apply to criminals as well? Like what if you drink and drive, resist arrest, and fight with cops? Or is being peacefully arrested for objective crimes not part of the social contract?

You really think theyre gonna charge him?

Im hopeful and based on literally all of the evidence hes 100% guilty, but Im also aware that police get away with murdering people all the time even with a lot of evidence so idk what the fuck is gonna happen here.

This case is fucked. Were just trying to nit pick what exactly killed him.

An officer literally is on a mans neck on the pavement till he died but theyre trying to say due to him panicking (you know, with a full grown adult on your neck) and or drugs did it so the officer is innocent.

Its insane and i dont think justice has a chance here....

Well all Ill say is in every case before there was always some wiggle room. Like Zimmerman...personally I felt he was guilty, but I could easily see how a reasonable person could go not guilty.

this is the first absolute slam dunk of slam dunk big public cases like this. With the body cam footage and the footage of the murder, no reasonable person could ever vote not guilty. Not one except racists

Implied jury intimidation is okay when we do it!


anyone with a half functioning brain knows chauvin belongs in prison. they also know that minneapolis will burn if he isnt justfiably convicted.

therefore if you are on that jury and vote not guilty, youre basically voting to have your city burned down

I'm sure that will be in the Defense's argument.

I'm definitely not saying Chauvin is innocent and Floyd should have died, I just think people shouldn't lie and spread false information about what happened.
