When is Officer Derek Chauvin going to be released from jail and given $20 million?

[YoursTruly]

He's not. And more white cops will be doing prison time in the future if they commit murder of unarmed victims.

Do you know how many unarmed suspects were shot in 2019 or any year since?

People shot by police........Average, about 1000 people.
People shot by police that were either armed or unarmed........ unarmed average.. 45

 

[The Duke]

Now that things have cooled down. We all know that George Floyd died from a drug overdose while resisting arrest. He was then given a state funeral effectively by a Republican governor Greg Abbott.

I mean, you would think that Officer Chauvin randomly pulled a black man off the streets threw him in a pick up truck and Lynched the guy. Oh no, but it wasn’t anything like that, but that’s how the media portrays it.

to this very day officer Chauvin languishes in jail. It is an atrocity. It is a miscarriage of justice. He was literally following the police code of conduct. He was following his training. This was pointed out in the documentary Minneapolis on fire on YouTube. It’s available everybody can l watch it. Of course, the radical left don’t care about justice they’ll never watch that documentary. And it’s a shame that this American Derek Chauvin is languishing in jail. I can’t believe that that’s the type of country we have today.

It’s a shame, and a provocation that the media makes this black versus white when it has nothing to do with that.

CNN even Fox News may owe Officer Chauvin millions and millions of dollars for slandering him and for denigrating his personality. For lying about him. All those BLM talking heads on the media who have millions of dollars and who live in mansions they brainwashed fellow Americans It’s a sad sight that some portion of BLM supporters are also living in poverty, and they’re more concerned about destroying an innocent man’s life in Derek Chauvin, then having a better life for themselves, and standing up to the corrupt politicians and media.

He should be exhonerated on the current charge he is wrongly convicted of

and then found guilty of negligent homicide and go right back to prison for a few years.

He should be exhonerated on the current charge he is wrongly convicted of

and then found guilty of negligent homicide and go right back to prison for a few years.

Where was the negligence? Where? Chauvin had no way of knowing that George Floyd had taken nearly four times the lethal dosage of fentanyl, or that Floyd had a bad heart. Chauvin weighed less than 200 pounds even with all his gear. A 180-pound man pinning at 220-pound man will never cause the pinned man's death unless the pinned man is severely unhealthy.

The defense proved undeniably at trial that Chauvin's knee was NOT on Floyd's neck but on the upper part of his back, and that Chauvin did not keep his full weight on Floyd while he had him pinned. The jury ignored this.

Again, Floyd began claiming that he could not breathe even before he began to powerfully resist arrest. It took three officers to finally put Floyd in back seat of the police car. It takes an awful lot of breathing to so powerfully resist three other grown man for nearly 20 seconds.

Thus, when Floyd resumed claiming he could not breathe after he was pinned, neither Chauvin nor the other officers believed him.

So, where was the negligence?

What Chauvin in prison and is gotten on for charges is the "arrogance". From citizens in communities who are a powder keg. The attitude of a law enforcement culture that believes they can tread on people right after the "Sir" shit without immediate obedience is not followed. Floyd though was not a good person with any remorse for his actions in life and citizens in said communities need to admit there are not good within their own.

 

[Chillicothe]

"A 180-pound man pinning at 220-pound man will never cause the pinned man's death unless the pinned man is severely unhealthy."

Or unless the 180-pounder has the help of 2 or 3 other 'pinners'. Which Chauvin did.

And, one of those pinning officers did remark to Chauvin words to the effect that they could let up on him after he quit resisting. Chauvin refused.

The Floyd thing blew up because it was gonna blow up.
Meaning, there had been an accumulating body of stories of one black man or woman after another being killed....while either unarmed or not resisting or killed in some egregious way. Accordingly, there was a keg of powder waiting for the spark.

In hindsight, if it was gonna happen Floyd made for a relatively unsympathetic victim. Would that he had been a lawyer or a doctor or a professor?

Makes no matter.
He was black.
And a bystander's smartphone captured a rather insouciant Chauvin kneeling on the victim's neck & throat area for nearly 10-minutes.
Floyd died.....and then the PD made up a false story for the press.

And then that video was shown to the public and contradicting the police official report.
And then it blew the hell up.
But I would suggest it was gonna blow sooner or later. One of those egregious shootings was gonna be the spark. Sooner or later.

As a parallel, or a lesson that should have been better learned, look at the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, in 2014.
Brown, from what I saw on the telly, was a thug and bully. And he reached into a policeman vehicle and briefly grappled for the gun. Which eventually led to him being shot by the same policeman.

But then the police, and the white governance of Ferguson left Williams to rot in the hot street on a hot summer day near humid St.Louis, Missouri. For four friggin' hours without cover....and he began to bloat up!

Meanwhile, a growing crowd of neighbors and spectators agitated for proper crime scene management of the corpse. And a story....not credibly shown to be true....but a story then began to circulate in the restless crowd that Brown had put his hands up and said "Don't shoot"....then got shot.

No police, no city official, no health department official attempted to address the crowd as it grew more and more impatient with the black corpse in the street growing blacker in the heat. That night Ferguson blew up.

And it blew up because....as subsequent investigations showed.....the white governance, and the mostly white police force preyed upon the mostly black population with nickel/dime traffic violations as a major revenue source.
Black's simply going to work with one taped-up taillight were being stopped and expensively ticketed for several days in a row. While white drivers with more serious offenses were let off scot-free.

Dead in the hot street Michael Brown, seemingly a street bully, was only the inevitable spark that touched off the keg.

So too....... Floyd and Chauvin.

It was readily apparent that Floyd had OD'd. Medical should have been called.

Some cops carry NARCAN, too. They are trained in things like that, or they're supposed to be.

 

[JoeB131]

Well, Derek Chauvin was no ideal role model, but I agree that his conviction was a travesty of justice.

Chauvin did nothing wrong in how he dealt with George Floyd. He did exactly as he had been trained to do. Floyd had multiple chances to avoid being pinned, and each time he made the wrong choice.

Saying "I was only following my training" is like saying, "I was only following orders." Ask the Nazis how that works out.

Even before Floyd began to powerfully resist arrest, he started claiming that he couldn't breathe. Well, it takes a lot of breathing to resist arrest as forcefully as he did. It took three officers to finally wrestle him into the back seat of the police car.

So naturally, when Floyd resumed his claim that he couldn't breathe, none of the officers believed him.

When someone says they can't breathe, putting your knee on their neck would seem to be the opposite of helping.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I call it the Timothy Treadwell syndrome. These mindless dick heads actually believe if they embrace the criminal the criminal will reform. Instead the criminal will see them as particularly easy victims. Similar to that idiot Treadwell who thought that he was a universal brother to the bear that ate him.

Trolling /unhinged^

Another guy who refuses to watch the documentary which presents facts

I see it all the time. A criminal gets killed during the commission of....his family then wants revenge obviously because they too are criminal in nature.

 

[meaner gene]

What you Biden blm guys don’t acknowledge are the facts presented in the documentary posted 10 or 15 times.

And that it is required for somebody to submit to the orders of a police officer. This is America and our police officers are not corrupt. They are our family members and friends. Floyd would be alive if he submitted to the orders of the officer.

I see your argument, and raise you one January 6th, and one Ashli Babbit.

None of them would have been arrested or harmed, if they obeyed the orders of the capitol police

Whats good for the Floyd is good for the Babbit.

 

[meaner gene]

Fuck you moron..... You are a particularly odious moron. You don't protect the rights of the criminal; you protect the rights of citizens who the criminal victimizes.

Any damage done to the criminal in the course of being controlled against his will falls squarely on the head of the criminal. Don't want the damage? Don't put yourself in that situation.

That's the very reason the insurrectionist criminals on January 6th got what they deserve. If that means they rot in jail for 5 years, the judges should have had the latitude to double it.

 

[meaner gene]

He should be exhonerated on the current charge he is wrongly convicted of

and then found guilty of negligent homicide and go right back to prison for a few years.

The justice system doesn't work that way.
Chauvin got a trial, an appeal, and appealed it all the way to the US Supreme Court. He lost at each step of the justice system, and the only one he can appeal for help is the Governor, who can't order a new trial.

 

[justoffal]

This may surprise you but I don't have a lot of sympathy for those people. To trespass on federal property invited or not takes mega tons of stupid. I said it from day one.

 

[JoeB131]

When a police officer says you're under arrest resisting it would seem to be the opposite of helping yourself.

Except they had no grounds to arrest him to start with.

The cop (not Chauven) started out by pulling a gun on Floyd. That's just crazy.

 

[john doe 101]

Along with all of the J6 VICTIMS of Entrapment, false arrest, cruel and unusual punishment, kangaroo trials, torture and excessive punishments.

All while the phony R in DC go silent in $5000 suits and work Bi-partisan with those that setup the lockup of American Citizens.

You support domestic terrorism.

 

[BlindBoo]

Even Chris Cuomo acknowledges the absurdity of calling January 6 an insurrection. You need tanks and an army for that.

So you think that "violent opposition to the transfer of power and an assault on our legislators" is an insurrection?

Also, are you claiming that a bloodless coup wouldn't be an insurrection?

Imagine going up to one of the family members or friends of the 25 people murdered by BLM rioters and telling them that the BLM riots were nothing compared to January 6

I never once said the Floyd riots or any of the past race riots were nothing, so why would I do that? What a specious statement. Like every thing else you used to try to deflect from what Chauvin did, was found guilty for, and sentenced.

 

[tyroneweaver]

Chauvinist is where he needs to be.

You better be grateful he didn't get the death penalty OP.

Why your boy OJ didn’t and he murdered 2 people

 

[MarcATL]

Why your boy OJ didn’t and he murdered 2 people

A jury of his peers found him, NOT guilty.
