The beginning of the video will be played for the jury in the Chauvin trial. Eating your stash can be dangerous, no? Especially when Floyd was already high out of his mind before he went into the store to steal the cigarettes. This is the type of behaviour that could be expected of George. Behaviour that could kill people. Did behaviour like this contribute to his death? Maybe.
It might have contributed to his death, but then again, maybe the whole “knee on the neck” thing might have been the big catalyst that finally made it happen. Like the autopsies both said. Like I said, being in a choke hold long past the point where you become unconscious is a pretty big variable that wasn’t in the previous arrest.
Blame the victim Irreligious . Nope sorry, it does not matter what George was on, once he was handcuffed and prone face down, and especially after he became unresponsive, it was the duty of Chauvin and the other officers to back off. THEY DID NOT!
None of George's behavior indicated that he was resisting out of malice. All of his behaviors and language indicate he was simply scared. But even if he had just been arrested for murder, police are not paid to kill suspects, ESPECIALLY after they are handcuffed.
I really don't see how anyone can get past the tesimony of his superiors whom have all agreed that what Chauvin did was beyond the scope.
And why the fuck are you assuming that George knew the bill was fake? And even if it was, and he knew, why does the cost of a pack of ciggarets constitute a death sentance?
Have you ever seen those religios tracts right wing nuts leave at restaurants, that look like a big tip, only to open it up to see that it wasn't real money? I've been fooled by that myself.
