Chauvin Murder Trial

[Irreligious Atheist]

Maybe because he's on video threatening to assault the officers? Did we forget about that already?

Who threatened whom? I didn't hear one threat from George or any of the bystanders. I did hear the officer who walked up to George's vehicle threaten him and cuss at George. I've been watching the case and all the videos on Headline News in full while they were covering the trial LIVE in full, in court, UNCUT. Not once did I hear George or any of the bystanders threaten any of the officers.

The MMA guy who said bro a billion times over while the incident was happening. He told the Asian cop I believe not to touch him or he'd slap the shit out of the officers.

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.

Floyd was given the chance to give the cigarettes back, but he chose not to. He was given the chance to go back into the store to clear things up, but he chose not to. That wasn't the only fake bill they had on them. When George refused to give the cigs back, I don't think it's unfair to call that stealing.
