Chauvin Murder Trial

911 dispatcher testifies officers pinned down George Floyd for so long she thought her video feed had frozen

I can remember IA  saying that a choke hold can be an effective and safe way of incapacitating your opponent and citing some MMA fighters. I wonder if any of those MMA fighters would think keeping at it for NINE AND A HALF FUCKING MINUTES is a good idea.

And, yes, it turns out the infamous 8:46 is actually understating the amount of time he spent in the choke hold. And it looks like almost all that time is people underestimating the time he spent out cold.

And now I'm searching for a suitable song that's exactly 9:29 long (preferably with a big shift around 5:38) because it looks like my old use of Modest Mouse' "The Stars Are Projectors" is out of date. And all I'm finding are a live version of Gary Clark's "When the Train Comes In," Kurt Vile's "Walkin on a Pretty Day," and Grand Funk Railroad's "Inside Looking Out," and none of them really fit.

And looking through my external hard drive, I'm also finding Can's "Pinch" and Deadmau5's "The 16th Hour," as well as some classical pieces, but their timings are too variable to use as a time demonstration.

You don't know that he was choked to death. And those remarks weren't even about Floyd. They were about the religion of Anti-racism, which demands things that don't actually help their communities like a ban on chokeholds, defunding the police, and burning it all down so it can be built up from scratch (or their new demands, for non-blacks to stop posting Oprah memes because that's digital blackface, or don't be a member of white veganism. Yes, that's a real thing I just read about). Murder rates are higher than they've been in years. Crime rates are way up. Police funding is down in many areas. Billions of dollars in property damage. Everyone hates each other. This is what they asked for.

What was George Floyd's exact cause of death? One of the medical examiners says heart failure. They say if he was found in his home like that, the ruling would have been drug overdose.

When a 200lb man presses his knee into your neck for 9 minutes, your heart is very likely to fail.

How much pressure is needed to kill a man, and how much pressure was Chauvin putting on the neck? Floyd was resisting on the ground much of the time, trying to push Chavin off, so obviously he was going to use pressure to keep the man down. How much pressure was he putting on the neck once the resistance stopped? Less pressure? Much less pressure? You don't know, do you?

That seems like pointless speculation.

[Rev. Rye]

It seems bizarrely convenient that at the same time Floyd had someone’s knee pressing on his neck, he died of something entirely irrelevant.

So that was another fake autopsy like Jeff Epstein's? I wouldn't be surprised anymore. Can't trust anything anymore.

Keep inventing excuses

So more culture war BS and cop apologetics
Banning chokeholds will help
Reducing police funding and investing in the community will help
Most BLM protests were peaceful and there was no property damage (nor did come close to burning it all down quite exaggerating and lying )
Your misrepresenting Oprah meme objection
You're misrepresenting the white Vegan thing
Murder rates have been rising slowly for years and Covid has played a huge role in that
Drops in police funding have nothing to do with the crime spike
99% of the damage is covered by insurance
The only people who hate anyone are butthurt culture warriors
No, it's not what they asked for you quack
You're misrepresenting what the report said

So more culture war BS and cop apologetics (And false or Misleading)

Mark Geragos and other big time lawyers think the drugs and the ruling of heart failure are key things that could have a big impact on the trial. This is what the legal experts are saying. The media barely ever brought up these things because they didn't fit the narrative the media likes to push.

You think Epstein killed himself? Good boy. Keep buying what the establishment feeds you.

Culture war BS? I hope you are proud of the climbing murder rates. Job well done.

[The Grand Nudger]

He wasn't found in his room at home, though. He was found underneath the knee of another man. Again, the charges can't be defended against in this way - we're all mortal, we'll all be shuffling off this coil some day or another, some way or another. That we'll all die some day or could some other way is not a defense against murder.

A woman has chained herself to the fence outside the Chauvin trial in protest.
