The fact that Floyd and friend sat there in the car outside of the food mart only goes to show what IDIOTS both he and his friend are!
Or they didn't think they had done anything wrong.
The autopsy is the thing that tells me Chauvin didn't use "deadly force"...
Really, because both autopsies said he died of asphyxiation.
he's guilty of failing to recognize that Floyd was OD'ing on drugs...drugs that Floyd the idiot most likely ingested to keep them from being found by the Police! That's an outcome that Floyd the idiot could have avoided if he HAD left after passing the counterfeit bill or HAD told the Police that he had taken a large amount of drugs and was having difficulty breathing because of it!
Actually, leaving would have been "Fleeing the scene" and an admission of guilt. Maybe he legitimately thought that it was a valid bill and the cops would resolve that issue.
It takes MINUTES to die of a drug overdose! Floyd was most likely starting to die when he told the Police he couldn't breathe even before they tried to place him in the cruiser.
The point is, he didn't die in the cruiser, he died under Chauvin's knee.
Would you like to show that Chauvin actually DID violate someone's civil rights 18 previous times? Or does the complaint itself carry an automatic guilty verdict these days if you're a Cop? He was a veteran cop who had 18 complaints filed against him over a period of 19 years...only two of which resulted in reprimands. Pretty typical stuff for a cop working in the inner city.
Actually, no, it really isn't. For instance, when Chicago did a comprehensive review of police complaints after the Laquan McDonald murder, they found that 50% of the complaints were against the same 139 officer - 1% of the force. (Including the officer who shot McDonald 16 times when he was laying on the ground.) The thing we find in these incidents is that the officers involved usually have long records of misconduct the unions and the Police Departments excuse.
The knee on the neck is in their training manual........they are trained to use the knee on the neck....
According to the police cheif, it isn't. But let's say it is. Does that make it right? Again, this argument of "I was only following orders" didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremburg or Calley at Mai Lai... why do you think it works here?
Moron....the cops knew he was on drugs.....so they held him down to keep him from struggling and making his condition worse...
Idiot- he died. That made his condition a lot worse.
