Title: Riots after Death of Man in Minneapolis Police Custody
Post by: Gyfts on May 28, 2020, 06:30:55 AM
If you haven't seen, a black man named George Floyd was detained by Minneapolis police and died while an officer had his knee placed on the back of his neck. Following links are NSFW.

Video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6XAY0uKb2A&bpctr=1590647951

The police claimed that George Floyd was arrested after defrauding a business through forgery and resisted. This has prompted protests which quickly turned violent in multiple cities.

U.S. President Donald Trump reported that the Justice Department will be taking a look through an FBI investigation - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265774767493148672

Here are some clips of the rioting -

 Lady gets assaulted while defending a Target from getting looted. (https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1265883038409322497)
 U.S. Bank gets looted. (https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1265855649352527872)
California Highway Patrol Officers Attacked. (https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/grx02a/black_lives_mattergeorge_floyd_protest_in/)
Entire Target Store looted. (https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1265884087341867009)

I'm not sure what the purpose of looting is nor do I see violent protests ever bridging the racial divide. The FBI is involved in an investigation so it's not like this matter is being brushed off. Violent protests across multiple U.S cities is reminiscent of the LA riots in 1992 or the Ferguson Missouri riots. Definitely looks like an overuse of force by the video and I imagine the officer that was involved will face some sort of charges. The Minneapolis police has fired the 4 officers that were involved in the arrest. Rioting is sheer stupidity and seems to always be the knee jerk reaction.

I am not black but I understand their pain and fear for their lives on how they are treated .

The man was killed because of such a simple crime and there was no hard evidence for the crime while the other criminal who murder 9 people was arrested peacefully?

But I also agree that some are using this as excuse to loot on others and I also doesn't get the point of it.

I'm gonna guess that people doing the looting are not particularly concerned about bridging the racial divide and people trying to protest peacefully underestimated the ability of a few shitheads to turn it violent.

Violent protests and looting will only create more problems and get more people hurt, if not killed. I can understand the reason for the protests and that the four officers need to be charged to court; so let the protesters allow the law to take its course. Because the police would not sit back and watch properties destroyed, people attacked, plus the looting going on, they'll take action, and things are not getting better this way.

The protesters can show their support for George through nonviolent protests or on their social media handles to seek justice, but definitely not by looting and other violent acts.

Sad thing is I'm sure people looting are the exact ones that will complain about discrimination from police.

I have no issues with protesters because you have the right to a peaceful protest. Not sure what the point is considering the officers have been fired and they will go through the legal system. But if you want to protest, go for it. Because people are shitty, they're using this as a free pass to destroy property and loot businesses.

The amount of racism on social media against non-black people in response to this incident is appalling.

It is also disgusting how much certain politicians are trying to take advantage of the situation for their political benefit. These politicians are making race relations worse for their own political benefit.

I am not even aware of any evidence the excessive use of force was race related.

The people that are rioting and looting are doing damage to their own community (assuming they live in the area, which many of them don’t) and will only drive businesses away, and costs up for residents.

Those looters are opportunist. They don't care about George Floyd. They're just creating destruction, and smiling as they run away with a stolen tv under their arms.

So this man is killed in such a disgusting way. How is setting a business in your community on fire going to help?

Idiots.

I an not a US citizen but all those incidents about police cruelty cannot be wrong.
There are multiple incidents reportedly constantly about policemen treating people with cruelty no matter the skin color.
Some measures need to be taken all around the US to stop this.

The 'killing' of Floyd looked fake as hell to me.

American society in particular has been conditioned as well as possible for 'race wars' as the (mostly Jewish) social engineers have long identified as being a useful tool.  Brzezinski,  Alinsky, etc.

the difference is that if you are soft on black people you encourage more crime. look what europes soft threatment of migration crime on black people gave them? only migrant crisis.

exactly my speech, no one knows weather the policemen was a racist, maybe he was simply a brutal guy, or a bad instructed policement, but america's crazy politicians accused him still of racism fired him and disqualified itself.

those riots sparked by the police violence are now the true racists.

the memory in george flyod will be very destructive for black communities, as these will get have a forgery criminal as a hero

also there was an extreme generalisation of a policeman, with all police.

Apparently some of the officers involved, including the one with his knee on his neck had a history of using excessive force, including to the extent that the city had settled with some of the people they used excessive force on.

I don’t know if there was a pattern of using excessive force against black people, or if he was just power drunk (or if he had poor training). Those that default to saying the incident was related to race solely because the officer was white and the man was black should be strongly condemned.

well thats a matter for research, but typical for cnn, cnn accuses now entire policing in america to be racist just because of one policemen who wasnt even racist but simply brutal and bad instructed.

this proves again the racist nature of cnn, when will this media junk finally get shut down.

but we also have to add that the population that is being policed in the usa is not cooperative like in germany it is extremly aggressive. so police has to make its point all the time, so businesses can work.

without policing there is no economy

You forgot to check out what they were doing. They were doing police-like backup for some guys who were protecting a store. Why were they doing it? Because the police couldn't get there. In America, this is common... help the police and your fellow people. You sound more and more like a deplorable everyday.


George Floyd Worked Security At The Same Nightclub As The Officer Who Killed Him (http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/283729-2020-05-29-george-floyd-worked-security-at-the-same-nightclub-as-the.htm)



A bizarre twist in the murder of George Floyd was reported on Thursday night, as a former club owner in south Minneapolis revealed that Floyd worked at her club as a security guard, alongside recently fired police officer Derek Chauvin, the man who killed him.

Club owner Maya Santamaria says that the two both worked the same security shift at El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, before the business was sold a few months ago.

"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open. They were working together at the same time, it's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside," Santamaria told KSTP.

However, Santamaria said that she can't be certain that Chauvin and Floyd knew each other, because often over a dozen security guards working at the club on any given night.

Still, they did work overlapping shifts, and the fact that one man ended up killing the other should justify further investigation into whether or not the two had a prior relationship.

If Chauvin and Floyd were not meeting for the first time in the moments before Floyd's death, that could potentially mean that there was a deeper motive behind the murder.

If true, this could make the difference between a manslaughter charge or a murder charge.

As of right now, no other evidence of a prior relationship has been revealed, but this is an extremely strange coincidence, which would be cause for serious suspicion in any other circumstance.

Cops are buddies. When one cop has something against a non-cop co-employee, often all the cops have something against him. Cops are a camaraderie. But if you think that is bad, look at this, right in the second most popular legal encyclopedia, Corpus Juris Secundum.

When you become a client of an attorney, you become a ward of the court. An attorney's first duty is to the court, second to the public, third to himself, and fourth to his client.

In other words, when you become a client of an attorney, you are requesting a conflict of interest by the court, in your case.

See - https://www.youarelaw.org/Download/CorpusJurisSecundum-AttorneyClient.pdf. Read it slowly, and understand that the same kind of thing is going on with the cops. Hiring an attorney by becoming his client is not the way to win.

Out of touch ? for real so I guess you are one of those who strongly supports racism who thinks they are more better because of their skin color or their nation?
Are you even human to start with? you are suggesting that it is okay to kill them base on their color and threat them as if they are criminal just because of their color or nationality?
Shame on you not on us who see all as a human being.

P.S try to dig harder and you would find that it isn't the first time that the officer has done it before there are also some other issue that he has been involved and killed black people.

I have to disagree.  There are not anywhere enough of people like this to have any sort of armed revolt.  On top of that, they are totally out-gunned by technology alone these days, and soon it will be even more obvious what I am talking about.

Here is the 'problem' with armed citizens:  They provide an alternative solution to the idea that we need more government supplied security to solve our problems.  Citizens have a vested interest in having their local societies run well and have a reasonable degree of safety.  This is rarely the case for larger political organizations, and especially when they are dominated by psychopaths with tends to become the case.

the difference is that if you are soft on black people you encourage more crime. look what europes soft threatment of migration crime on black people gave them? only migrant crisis.

thats why there are 2 systems and they rightwise exist.

you so callled "anti racism" idiots are so out of touch with reality
Out of touch ? for real so I guess you are one of those who strongly supports racism who thinks they are more better because of their skin color or their nation?
Are you even human to start with? you are suggesting that it is okay to kill them base on their color and threat them as if they are criminal just because of their color or nationality?
Shame on you not on us who see all as a human being.

P.S try to dig harder and you would find that it isn't the first time that the officer has done it before there are also some other issue that he has been involved and killed black people.


nope i am 100% antiracist, those blacks that constantly demand stuff from other people playing the race card are the true racists,

why are people of other races like in greece forced to care for black migrants instead of their own children, the blacks try to achieve a global genocide with their begging, they want everyone to care about them but be lazy gangbangers themselves this way people of other race like for example in germany have constantly to care about black people instead of their own children,

the joke is that there is stil retarded left wing media in the west that still supports those racist savages and doesnt see the racism they are doing.

black people cannot be satisfied, they will always try to demand more, and if you throw a bunch of wolfpeople of crab people into their midst, they become discriminatory racists themselves.

an officer killing black people isn't something abnormal it is part of his jobs to hunt all types of criminals black white whatever, what you are begging for is to get rid of all police officers if they kill "black" people

and secondly the protesters commited a crime they punished all policemen for the supposedly crime/racism/brutalty of a single policemen, they generalised like racists one white policemen is racist so all must be racist.

i hope they will get an extreme punishement for their crimes. and racists like you will be block of spreading their nonsense.

The plot thickens.

The neighbors didn't know the 'killer cop' was a cop at all.  Thought he was in Real Estate:

Apparently also the 'WHITE killer cop' and the 'killed BLACK man who is BLACK and has been BLACK and was BLACK when he was BRUTALLY MURDERED by a WHITE cop' worked together in a night club as bouncers, and until quite recently.

We don't need no stinkin' cops to protect us... except from ourselves.


So in a sense, you agree to a no authority type of environment or in political context, an anarchy type of society.  Given a situation that there is no one that would enforce authority except ourselves, what about those who cant do that (people who cant defend their homes because they only have a knife and the looters have an AR-15). Do those people who cant protect themselves deserves to be looted? Do Target corporation deserve what happened to one of their branches because of the riot?

here is a different tangeant for you to think about

in the past there have been white, asian and native americans that died due to police brutality. and no news was mentioned.

however. imagine if the 'agenda' is to try and keep the mindset that blacks are different than whites
heck. an agenda that blacks are etreated worse than native americans, muslims, mexicans
 by keeping the divide present by making the divide wider by highlighting things when 'it involves blacks'
the black lives matter for-profit group has lost alot of revenue not just due to lockdown. but due to media attention on muslims, native americans and mexicans.. so they need to rebrand and re dominate media


take the UK and the covid stats of deaths by ethnicity
back in march there was a big media thing that 'BAME are high risk of death'.  (black and Middle Eastern)
yet in that March stat
it was like 10k white and 2k BAME
where it was something like
80% white 4% indian 6% black and multiple small percentages for others

which if you look at the demograph of population is about the same. (80,4,6)

its not that there were 20k indian and 10k white. it was like 10k white and just 400 indian
yet 'equality' groups suddenly want to make ethnicity a thing to something thats not even racist.
a virus cannot tell skin colour. yet equality groups want to be victimised by covid as if they are being unfairly hurt by it.

im all for seeking out injustices and i hope that cop gets life in prison
but when the details are
the 4 cops involved were 2 white, 1 asian, 1 african american
shows its not a all white vs black thing

when the cop who actually kneed the head has a other ethnicity professional partner. and a wife that is mixed race too. it makes it less about a black vs white thing.

to me. its a abuse of power/ cop brutality issue.
the cop if worried the guy would get up and run. should have just hand cuffed his ankles.
no cop should knee a head. and definetly not for a minute or even 8minutes

next time cops should hand cuff ankles.. that way its safer for all involved

Is this some sort of collective catharsis after extended COVID-19 lockdowns?

At least half of these people will fall ill the next week or two unless they had already recovered from the virus.

A quarter won't even know they have it, and another quarter will die if unattended. The virus will spread greatly in these demonstrations, so when the demonstrators go back home, their families will become ill as well.

In the meantime they have about a week or two to protest as much as they can. To the world it looks like America is on a fire all over the place...

Perhaps Trump is also waiting for the virus to do its job?

Now these racial issues in America appear to have no end. All this segregation and discrimination is alien in many other countries.

I know this thread is going to turn a bit spammy, but I'm still going to throw my two cents into it.

This is a truly horrible situation and that officer should be prosecuted with the full extent of the law. I do truly think that he committed Third Degree Murder (not 2nd or even 1st like some are saying) and what he did was despciable. His gross negligence led to the death of another individual. He didn't follow police protocol and that led to the death of another individual who was being arrested for a nonviolent crime - great reason for him to be fired (as he already has)

With that said though, I do not support violent rioting and destruction of cities across America. Fight for your rights, but fighting for those rights isn't burning down police cars and police stations. Protest, don't riot.

Sure if they are treated equal you could see in the picture a huge difference on how they handle it and look on the video if there isn't wrong on doing it?
He killed the man that isn't even fighting just asking to breath ?
I am not asking for to get rid of the police officer if they kill "black" people but if they abuse their badge why not?

Update on Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chavin and other Officers:
Derek Chavin was fired from the Minneapolis police department and was arrested. He is charged with manslaughter and 3rd degree murder. The remaining 3 officers involved in the matter have been fired. Prosecutors are planning to bring forth charges on the remaining officers involved, highly doubt they'll stick though. So far, the other officers have scrubbed their social media accounts and have left town to avoid confrontation.

Autopsy Results on George Floyd Released:
So things get a bit hairy here. George Floyd did not die of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation which is what was considered to be the cause of death due to the knee on the back of the head. George Floyd died as a result of his resistance with police and underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The report also mentioned that toxins in his system could have also contributed. It did not specify what type of toxins, most likely talking about drugs here (Autopsy Source)  (https://www.insider.com/george-floyd-non-responsive-before-officer-took-knee-off-neck-2020-5) I am no lawyer by any means but it's going to be tough for any prosecution to argue murder in this case because according to the autopsy, the officer's knee on the back of the neck did not cause death and that his resisting from the officers did, combined with other health problems. An analogy would be if you were on meth and got arrested which caused your heart rate to sky rocket resulting in a heart attack. This wouldn't constitute as murder and it wouldn't constitute as manslaughter. In the case of George Floyd, if there was legitimate resisting coming from Floyd, a defense could make the case that submission tactics were needed to subdue the suspect and that, according to the autopsy, it was not the individual officer's actions that caused death.

Two thoughts:

1. If he hadn't been manhandled by the cops, would he have died anyway?

2. If he was Covid positive, is certainly will be called a Covid death.

Definitely not. Autopsy states that it was, partly, the resisting from police that caused death which was in combination with underlying conditions. So he did die because of police, however, if Floyd actually resisted, then police had every right to use submission tactics.

2. If he was Covid positive, is certainly will be called a Covid death.

Protests are good. Looting is not. But looting happens all the time, here or anywhere. It's happening all the time. Just like murder. Or any other crime. It can't be so much of a focus. It's just collateral damage. But what's more to be focused at is the incident. A man was just f-ing killed because of his skin color. It's totally unacceptable. There's no point to direct the topic into something else as small as a few opportunists looting a few stores taking advantage of the situation.

+1 to that.

600 per week, plus state unemployment benefits will probably land you in the realm of $800 a week minus taxes = $675 ish once all withholdings are done (if they need to be withheld for these people)

Plus stimulus money if eligible.

No reason to burn down the entire city to show that you're angry. Though I think it is important to note that the only people who are going to media attention in this movement are the ones that are rioting, not the ones that are peacefully protesting.

If you haven't seen, a black man named George Floyd was detained by Minneapolis police and died while an officer had his knee placed on the back of his neck.

I used to do this all he time, if my partner was having problems controlling the suspect.  You are taught to put your knee on the neck but not to support yourself that way.  The pressure needed to subdue the relatively weak neck muscle is much less than needed to choke someone.  This officer is guilty of at least incompetence or even manslaughter, but the masses are rioting because they want to.

I found the porn movie that George Floyd 'starred' in.  I had to study the vid, but only for medical reasons of course... and to see if the actress had the kind of phat pink clit I like to see on dark meat.

Big George 'the Landlord' Floyd was clearly suffering from erectile dysfunction.  Poor fella.  One would expect that the condition would preclude a guy from being a 'porn star'.  Actually maybe it did and that is why there is apparently only one vid that Floyd acted in.

Anyway, since Floyd had ED it is pretty clear that he had problems with his circulatory system and thus it wasn't the fault of the cop(?)/co-worker/fellow_Freemason(?) who was just giving his friend a neck massage while they were waiting for the ambulance to show up.

Oh! Another Simpsons sequel?

Fault or not the cops present on his arrest still are blameworthy over his death because if they have just arrested an unarmed man and not compressing his neck that wouldn't be the case. For just a suspected forgery over a  $20 bill, this happened. They should have cuffed him and let him lie on the ground.

The need is for arrests, vamp up the judicial, and get the witnesses in there to get those rioters into prison. Then make them work off the damage to the shops and people they damaged.

Don't martial-law the average people who are just living.

Hundreds of US cities have been turned into war zones, with looting, murder, and mayhem unleashed on a level we have not seen in more than a generation. President Trump is threatening to call US troops to the street. Will de facto martial law calm the chaos, or will it be pouring gasoline onto the flame?

The fake national guard incident proves to me that there are likely state level actors involved here in instigating these riots. This is beyond the expertise of the usual comtards that are doing most of the damage. Also the guy's name is "Wong", so there is a decent chance he is acting on the direction of the CCP, but that is yet to be seen.

In the USA, government people can be taken to court for not providing protection if they will not allow the people to protect themselves. Even though law enforcement is not required to protect the people, they better do it, or allow the people to protect themselves.

But that is what we are talking about... the USA.

When rioters damage property, if they are thrown in prison for 20 years until they can pay it off, other rioters will think twice before being rioters.

Forget the police. We don't need them.

Police are people. Anybody can be trained to patrol his neighborhood or city, militia style.

When all the people do it for themselves, there aren't any dishonest cops. But it has to be done correctly, or this might be the result: http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2018/01/losing-faith-in-state-some-mexican.html.

Will be considered by who? By you? Who cares?

America was set up for each person to be the king of his own castle, or property. It was also set up so that when any other similar king messed with his property, the other king owed him.

When Americans play the game of considering each other to be Democrats or Republicans, it's because they are fundamentally so rich that they would rather play the game than get back down to basics.

The preppers are the ones who quit playing the game, and are getting down to the basics of life.

Some people took the situation for granted and they put it in their own hands. Those looting are unjustifiable.

When it comes to riot, riot is the voice of the oppressed. There will be no riots and protests if there are no oppressed people in the society. Riots are just the results of it.

That's not necessarily true that there would be no riots and protests if people were not oppressed. People who are not oppressed, but think that they are, or are simply bad people, might still riot if they have the opportunity. Some of the rioters have guns. Guns aren't cheap. They must have had money to buy the guns. They should have bought nutrients instead, so that they weren't so brain dead that they rioted.

Former officer Derek Chauvin's charge was taken from 3rd degree murder to now 2nd degree murder. The other 3 officers that were involved in the arrest have now been charged and warrants for their arrest have been issued.

They've done this to try to relax the protests. It is risker to try to prove that this is second degree murder, instead of trying to prove 3rd degree. If they can prove it and convince a jury though, they're going to bring the justice that is required -- plus the fact that they'll springboard their careers (anyone prosecuting this case, etc) -- which is really what most of these people care about.

Very risky to go for 2nd degree, as you could get an acquittal which will kill your career and incite further protests. Yet again, they're mostly trying to relax the protests with this sort of thing. It's what MANY were calling for. We'll see if it plays out.

Switching the murder charges to 3rd degree to 2nd degree is no doubt to appease the public but I'm a bit taken back by charging officers involved. One of the guys involved, Thomas Lane, was a rookie that had graduated less than a week from the academy and took orders from Chauvin to keep Floyd on his stomach with knee pressure on his back to subdue him. If Chauvin's a 19 year vet and you're a rookie, you're going to take orders from a more tenured officer. As for the other two, not sure why they should be held liable for their coworkers negligence. They did not know Floyd and the neck position that Chauvin had Floyd under is legal under Minneapolis Police Department's guidelines and policies.

They arrested the other 3 officers because of public pressure which is setting an extremely bad precedent for officers to be held liable for something their partner might fuck up on. The charges on the other officers will not stick and the Minnesota AG knows this well which is why it's concerning that these three are in jail right now. Chauvin's responsible, hold him accountable and take him to a trial with all the facts laid out and make a determination.

I actually saw the portion about Lane, and I don't think his charges are going to stick. He's most likely going to have to be rehired by Minneapolis PD tbh -- union is going to fight hard for him, and they're going to say that there was no cause to fire him. Only issue in this line of thinking is that he may be in a probationary period, and may be able to be fired without any sort of union protection. We'll see on him.

The others -- well I mean, guess they're going to charge them b/c they didn't actively try to stop it or at least verbally try to stop it. No one is going to tell them that they have to fight a coworker, but Lane's response should be good enough (IMO)

Neck position that he was put into is LEGAL for certain circumstances, though the circumstances that Floyd was put into was not that.

This is going to be the case that legal experts, police departments, police unions, police reform groups, and so on are going to be watching this case INTENSLY. This could set a precedent that changes the police forever.

Chance they go to trial -- yes, but it's not going to be a jury trial, it's most likely going to be a bench trial (as a defendant can elect to have a bench trial, that is decided by the judge, if they want to) That's the best shot these officers have at being acquitted, because a judge is going to look at the facts of the case and decide if this is TRULY 2nd degree Murder (and the others too)

While a jury would look more towards emotion. Most people have seen this video and they're going to be disgusted with it. Finding a jury pool that isn't already tainted is going to be hard.

I highly doubt any prosecutor is going to want to offer a plea to these guys anyway (maybe Lane, but the rest eh) that would just enrage the protestors because you're letting them get a lesser charge just for admitting that they did wrong.

Derek Chauvin should burn in jail.
Those guys do not have any reason to be out and live free. He murdered him on purpose and there are not any excuses about his action. Floyd didn't show any resistance and still he treated him this way.

I suppose you may like for him to be incarcerated surrounded by multi racial inmates.  ;D


Since the protests began, there have been so many more officers arrested and prosecuted for excessive force. It's ironic that these protests against police brutality are causing more police brutality against protesters.

5 of the 6 officers were black.
so this is all about cop brutality. and should not be a colour issue

..
in my view knowing the history where 'police' in america were invented as the slave captures. and sherrifs weere the real law enforcement.. i think that america should move more to the constitutional law abiding sherrifs instead of the bureaucratic, military trained officers

many cops believe that if they can annoy someone or question them enough to irritate them into a conflict. a cop can that treat that as a threat to his life, for him to then use force

even if they make new rules that specify only use a weapon/tactic under certain circumstance. cops then fall back on their personal rights of being allowed to defend himself against a 'possible' threat
where that 'possible' can be tweaked into thinking a kid with a cell phone in the dark is a possible gun weilding threat about to shoot the cop.
yes you not suppose to shoot unarmed people.
but the clause is unless you feel your life is at threat. without the clause mentioning the threat has to be real and proven. just the fear of threat seems to be the get out clause

Here's the real reason why local and State governments are shutting down police departments. They are helping Communism come in.


Left-wing extremists following Mao’s Cultural Revolution playbook, and it will lead to mass executions in the streets if we don’t stop them. (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-06-09-left-wing-extremists-following-maos-cultural-revolution-playbook.html)



Frank Miele at RealClearPolitics.com has penned an outstanding article describing the historical parallels of today’s radical left-wing Antifa / Black Lives Matter riots. Far from “peaceful protests,” the actions and demands of these cultural Marxists closely resemble the history of Mao’s Cultural Revolution or Hitler’s Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass.

If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Read and learn, then warn others of what’s coming if the radical left-wing uprising isn’t ended.

From RealClearPolitics.com:

[In America last week,] mob violence replaced police as the standard of authority.

When you saw white people taking a knee to prostrate themselves before looters and to renounce their “white privilege,” you also saw parallels to Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Hitler’s Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass.

The Cultural Revolution began with an attack on the old order, the old “privilege” represented by shop owners and college professors. To avoid the mob’s rage, the victims were forced to humiliate themselves publicly and to utter self-denunciations, to confess their “crimes” against the mob’s ideology. But there was no escaping the demented wrath of the self-anointed protectors of virtue. Eventually millions of those intellectuals and entrepreneurs were put to death — sometimes buried up to their necks so that they could continue to abase themselves until their final breath.

Kristallnacht is the name given to a pogrom carried out against Jewish shops, homes, cemeteries and synagogues in November 1938 by Nazi paramilitaries known as Brownshirts.

I'm anti-police, because if there were no police, governments would have no excuse to attempt to deny us our guns. And they wouldn't have any way to stop us from carrying them.


If you’re “anti-police” then you should not be allowed to call the police for help when other rioting idiots attack YOU (https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-06-08-anti-police-rioters-should-not-call-when-attacked.html)



As each day goes by, Democrat Socialists get dumber and dumber. First, they sprayed graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial statue, which makes zero sense, considering what they’re protesting about. (Lincoln literally freed the slaves, you morons, haven’t you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?) Next, they vandalized the streets of Washington D.C. by painting “Defund the Police” on 16th street. Really? Is there an ounce of I.Q. among them at all, anywhere? Then, they’re all screaming that they must be allowed to vote from home using easy-cheat mail-in ballots (Pelosi calls it vote-from-home) because they’re supposedly absolutely terrified of leaving their home to go to a voting precinct, where Covid-19 lurks, awaiting them, but then they gather in masses shoulder to shoulder to spit in the face of black police officers and throw Molotov cocktails at anyone who tells them to calm down.

Now, the whole Left has gone full-tard, begging the U.S. government to get rid of all police, so every day, from now til forever, can be chock full of rioting, looting, raping, murdering, burning, and it’s all part of their moronically hypocritical “fight for justice!” Then comes the ultimate irony, as it always does, to flip the script on the idiots who love to destroy everything when they get frustrated, including people’s lives. The morons who fuel the chaos get scared and call the very cops they hate so much in order to save themselves. The irony is absolutely priceless.

Texas store owner chases tard-o-crats from his store with his chainsaw, so the “anti-police” morons call the police to save themselves

The man was killed because of such a simple crime and there was no hard evidence for the crime while the other criminal who murder 9 people was arrested peacefully?

But I also agree that some are using this as excuse to loot on others and I also doesn't get the point of it.

This is a prime example of what's wrong with society.  Half of our population forms their opinion based on a meme.

The real difference here is one person, under the influence of drugs, FOUGHT WITH the police. Police are allowed to use enough force to overcome the force used by the person resisting them. These cops failed to recognize positional asphyxiation while dealing with excited delirium.

The other person surrendered, offered no resistance, and did not fight with the 5 cops who had their guns drawn.

If you are trying to resist arrest, you are potentially fighting to the death if you are not going to be arrested. The police will attempt to arrest you, but if unable to do so, they are authorized by law to use escalating amounts of force.

There is a reason why you don’t see reports of people getting killed by the police who are surrendering (except when it is fake propaganda).

Also what happened in this case likely had nothing to do with the killer being a police officer. Most likely the killer knew the victim and did not get along with the victim. In other words, this was likely a personal dispute if local reports are to be believed.

So you never heard of innocent until proven guilty? Too many cop-Hitlers play the part of Judge Dredd.

I'm not saying your job is easy. In fact, it is hard. Take what appears to be a criminal down when he is doing wrong, yet don't hurt him, because your Judge-Dredd mentality might be wrong, and you'd be harming an innocent man.

Get him to court where he can let the jury decide. That's the law of the land, though most people don't know how to enforce it.

This is a prime example of what's wrong with society.  Half of our population forms their opinion based on a meme.

The real difference here is one person, under the influence of drugs, FOUGHT WITH the police. Police are allowed to use enough force to overcome the force used by the person resisting them. These cops failed to recognize positional asphyxiation while dealing with excited delirium.

The other person surrendered, offered no resistance, and did not fight with the 5 cops who had their guns drawn.

Yeah, but you are LITERALLY HITLER, so we don't have to listen to you.

Oh, please give the guy a break. He's all mixed up about the place where his policy authority ends, and the authority of a man begins. If he realized that he was a man, and that policy was just his job - or act - he might learn a little respect for real people.

If you are trying to resist arrest, you are potentially fighting to the death if you are not going to be arrested. The police will attempt to arrest you, but if unable to do so, they are authorized by law to use escalating amounts of force.

There is a reason why you don’t see reports of people getting killed by the police who are surrendering (except when it is fake propaganda).

Also what happened in this case likely had nothing to do with the killer being a police officer. Most likely the killer knew the victim and did not get along with the victim. In other words, this was likely a personal dispute if local reports are to be believed.

They are absolutely NOT authorize by law to  arrest you except if you are doing damage. In the Flyod case, he purportedly was sitting on his car, not doing any damage at all when the cops arrived.

Tell us, which has more strength, Constitutional right to travel, or cops duty to harm someone when he is doing no immediate, observable damage?

That's why cops have a very difficult job if they want to be honest and right. And they often fail to obey the higher law - Constitution. That's the reason many people die at the hands of cops. Cops don't understand their limit. They don't have a general signed court order to bring anybody in without cause. The only reason they get away with it is that people don't know the law, either, and don't realize that when they hire an attorney, they are simply dumping their case into the hands of the court.

Criminal acts by cops on a man-to-man count are way more than probably any other person. Why? Because cops do the same bad things that the crooks do, both on and off the clock. And besides, they illegally limit the rights of people in the name of doing their job.

If cops are going to do mob rule and mob justice in the name of doing their job, who needs them? Anybody can do that. Simply give the people guns, and let them have at it... their mob rule. Just like the cops, but we don't have to pay the people. So it's cheaper.

I read the same reports. Allegedly a worker of the nightclub spoke out that Chauvin and Floyd knew each other and butt heads in the past but even if they knew each other, to prove intent you need to know exactly the thoughts Chauvin had while he placed his knee on the back of Floyd's neck. Floyd was resisting arrest so submission tactics wasn't unwarranted, but he was extremely negligent for not turning Floyd over on his side after the cuffs were on and they gained control.

I'm sure more information will come out and verify if there truly was conflict between the two but if a 19 year police veteran actually intended to kill George Floyd over a petty personal dispute and throw his life way, throw the book at the guy and let him rot in prison.

Pretty much no matter what, what happened was murder any way you look at it. If they butt heads, this pretty much proves it wasn’t racism, IMO.

My statement about resisting arrest was in general and not in reference to Floyd. Floyd was already restrained and no longer resisting.

Roughly 90% of the convictions are void judgments. Why? Because to get a valid judgment, you have to have 4 things:
1. The accused;
2. The accuser;
3. An injury of some sort;
4. A witness.

The cop on the stand is the witness. But the State or city (the accuser) never gets on the stand, "viva voce," so there is no accuser. And, in most cases, there was no injury or even threat.

Check court cases, laws and rules of court. You will find that even if the judge, the attorneys, the plaintiff and defendant all agree that they can get rid of one or more of the 4 requirements, they STILL can't drop one of them. They have to all be there, just to hear the case in court.

So, we have roughly 90% of void judgments. Check out what it means to have a void judgment. Almost all the courts are kangaroo courts, because they don't have all of the 4 requirements.

That's where you come in, nice guy Judge Dredd. Since the courts almost never can get a legal conviction, you gotta do the dirty work.

It is not nearly an accurate representation of the truth. It's a political game the leftists play with the media in thier pockets, and always seems to flare up and become a new headline during an election year.

There are laws, policy, and training in place for every one of these incidents.  Far more white people are killed by police than any other race. 99.999% of all incidents are justified by law. And the one's that aren't, appropriate action is taken.  
   The problem is within the race culture itself. The leftist politicians have made the black race think they are, and will always be the victims.  When a black man dies while attacking police, the whole black community lowers themselves to the level of the criminal, and cries for "justice" for the criminal.  Most other races have a more level headed approach and see the criminal who fought or attacked police as just a criminal, rather than playing the race card.
  
  Then politicians and leftist extremist come up with catchy phrases, such as "UNARMED BLACK MAN.", but when you look at the actual cases individually a little deeper.... you'll find the label 'UNARMED" does not always mean they did not pose a deadly threat.  80% of the UNARMED black men killed by police this year were actually actively attacking the police quite violently.  
  You'll find maybe 2 truly unjustified deaths per year, out of a population of 330 million.


   Then they try to throw statistics at you, and they stop evaluating statistics when they find the one they want.
  Even though more whites are killed by police interaction than blacks, they'll then throw out a justification of "well, blacks only make up 24% of the population", so they say blacks are more likely to die at the hands of police than whites, based on the make up of the overall population.  They stop there.... without evaluating one of the most important data points..... that approx 50% of ALL violent crime (murder,rape,robbery,assault) is committed by 1.4% of the overall population, being black males age 18-35.    1.4% of the population is responsible for half of all violent crime, and of course, would have a much greater probability of dealing with the police than the average citizens.
    Take Mr Floyd for example. A violent career criminal in and out of jail for 2 decades. Arrested at least 10 times. He went from having a 100% successful arrest outcome, to now only having a 90% successful arrest outcome.   Don't you think he's rolling the dice every time he commits a crime?  One of these times, he's bound to find a cop that'll do something wrong.  He's increased his odds by constantly creating the police interaction.  The police didnt go looking for him, the were called to investigate him for a crime.

   But the political powers that be, want you to look at a particular talking point, and not the big picture. Also a great distraction from other political issues going on at the same time.  Has anyone in the media even mentioned that Hillary Clinton lost and appeal and has to testify regarding Obama-era corruption?   Nope, nothing to see her folks.... look at the 0.0000002 % thing over there.

No. Basically it's entirely political gaming. The Floyd George thing was a weird, bizarre incident.

Having said that, there are situations that are unjust. But nowhere, is the world going to be a fair place.

The morphing of peaceful protests into rage and violence was orchestrated by anti-American domestic and international forces.

Right now in the USA the Democrats are struggling to form a platform for the 2020 elections, and to keep the black community supporting them for the 2020 elections.

Wholly irresponsible use of statistics. First of all, the subject highlighted by the media and this thread is police deaths of African Americans, not "white on black crime." Here's a more accurate breakdown of the issue:

Police shootings of white people in 2019: 370
Police shootings of black people in 2019: 235

White people as % of US population: 72.4%
Black people as % of US population: 12.6%

Police shootings of white people / % of population: 5.11
Police shootings of black people / % of population: 18.65

This means that black people are, on average, shot to death by police 3.65x more than white people. That is the problem.

Second of all, your graph conveniently leaves out a couple of bars.

White on white violent incidents: 2,224,024 (62.1%)
Black on black violent incidents: 396,450 (70.3%)

Also, going by the same population statistics, black people are 10% less likely to report incidents to the survey than white people (yes, the reported incidents come from a survey).

Anyone remember my post above stating that people stop looking at a subject when they find the statistic that fits their narrative?    

Here is an example.

He found the statistic that fit his narrative, and then ceased to continue evaluating the totality of the circumstances.  

Based on his numbers... theres 6x more white than black in the overall population. But black are shot dead 3.65x more than whites, by police.  (Stop here if this fits your narrative and narrow view of the subject)

Now, if you want to see the entire picture (and the truth).... factor in that 1.4% of the population (black males aged 18-35) is responsible for 50% of ALL violent crime (rape, murder, robbery).  So if 50% of police investigations/responses are being solicited by 1.4 % of the population, how more likely are that 1.4% to be subject to police interactions?  I'm sure there's a math whiz here that can figure it out.
  Let's see.... 50% of police interactions are with black males 18-35.  50% are with all other races, sexes, age groups. But yet MORE whites die than black.  Oops, there goes your narrative.

And then if you really want to dig deeper, you can find statistics that will break down the race of the involved officer, and you'll find out black officers are more likely to shoot than white officers.

If you think Police racism is the issue the media has made it... Ive got some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you.

And we haven't even touched on the subject of how many of those killed by Police were active deadly threats or were engaged in violently attacking officers.

And what really needs to change in order to decrease the chances of that kind of thing happening in the future? Less media coverage? I don't think so.

I don't think you understand this issue.

You can see the problem right here in this thread with white people whitesplaining how black people are treated.  Instead of listening to POC, they preach their own perspective and then cover their ears and pretend systemic racism is not a thing.  Even the statistics are racist but you hadn't thought that far.  Laws exist and are enforced differently on different people and different areas.  

White kids do drugs at a higher rate and it never gets reported as "crime".   Black kids do drugs at a lower rate but police stop and frisk to catch every single person on the street with drugs.  Those crimes get reported and then black neighborhoods (holdovers from segregation) end up with higher statistical crime rates.  These stats are used as a reason to send more police and violence into these neighborhoods.  Police officers and departments are often underpaid and corrupt.  Since they can operate with complete impunity, they  participate in organized crime and make deals with gangs or drug lords.  Once planted with a felony, police have the DA and judges in their pockets and get a conviction so that person can never function legally in society again.  Eventually, everything spirals out of control like South Chicago.  

Police unions control everything because so much money is in the police departments .  They bully politicians and DA, and dump money into elections.  Defunding the police would make things a lot better.

Eh... close but not quite. It's a "cop vs criminal" thing. No cop cares about the skin color of the person fighting with them.

Here's an interesting perspective, if your are open-minded enough to look at something from somewhere other than a pre-conceived opinion.


Does America have a “racist cop” problem?

It’s easy to believe so when watching the disturbing videos of the deaths of George Floyd, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice at the hands of the police. But do horrific, high-profile cases like these accurately reflect the treatment of black Americans by the police?

Many observers say no.

Since 2015, The Washington Post has maintained a comprehensive database of fatal police shootings. The Post database shows that fatal shootings by police have run steadily at around 1,000 per year since 2015: 995 (2015); 963 (2016); 987 (2017); 998 (2018); and 1,004 (2019).

About twice as many white people as black people are killed by police. “In fact, in about 75 percent of police shootings, the decedent is not black,” says Andrew McCarthy, a columnist with the National Review.

“This pandemic of civil violence is more widespread than anything seen during the Black Lives Matter movement of the Obama years, and it will likely have an even deadlier toll on law enforcement officers than the targeted assassinations we saw from 2014 onward,” McCarthy wrote. “It’s worse this time because the country has absorbed another five years of academically inspired racial victimology.”

While the current national narrative is that black Americans are, as some Black Lives Matter advocates claim, being “targeted” by police, Rafael Mangual, deputy director of legal policy at the Manhattan Institute, says that view is backward.

“It is certainly fair to say that police have had a target on their backs for some time,” he told InsideSources.

I believe the number is that police officers are eighteen and a half times more likely to be killed by black males than unarmed black males are to be killed by police officers,” he said. “And studies have shown that the odds of a black man being killed in police custody are about one in 1,000.

https://www.houmatoday.com/opinion/20200610/opinion-black-lives-matter-rhetoric-doesnt-match-facts-on-police-violence



So, is it the police that need the ambiguous talking point "more training" ?    Or does society need "more training"?   A simple 20 min PowerPoint presentation in free public school about law? A very simple understanding of.... don't fight police, attack police, or resist arrest, and your odds of being hurt by police are less than being struck by lightning.

It does not surprise me one bit.  There's a reason colleges and universities are referred to as "liberal indoctrination centers."

Fortunately, I skipped the college route and went military instead, entering the USN nuclear engineering program. I was able to travel the world for several years of my life and get a true representation of global society.  The poorest Americans have NO IDEA how good they have it.

The military training and experience offered me the opportunity to get a 6 figure salary afterwards, and I put forth enough effort in OT to send my kids to college. (Not white privilege, but effort that can be achieved by any race)    But my kids were warned about the liberal youth groupthink that is prominent at college. They've all remained level headed and discuss with me, the feelings vs facts problem they see at school. Too many youth are influenced by feelings and have a sheltered view of overall society.

Are your kids more likely or less likely to be successful because they have a father that was able to send them to college?

Will their children (your grandchildren) be more or less likely to be successful because of you?

Yep.  I see that you are TRYING to claim any success for my hard work is based on my race.  And you will be proven dead wrong.

I didn't grow up wealthy, we didn't have luxuries.
But I did join the military.....which just about anyone can, regardless of race. And as a matter of fact, my time in the military, working side-by-side with blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc... was a great experience of true equality. So here we are on a ship,.... our own group of humans, every race, from every US region, all working together for a common goal, while learning discipline, respect, and a code of conduct. All equals, with equal opportunity. We all got paid on the same scale...., yeah, even the females,.... and we all had the SAME opportunities. Some rose to the top, and some stagnated. But it was never due to their race, it was due to their effort.
    Then I got into Law Enforcement 2 decades ago, everyone had equal opportunity to test for the job. Everyone, of all races have the exact same opportunity. And everyone I work with (of all races) has he same opportunity to earn extra pay by working overtime. Some do it, and some don't.  Some excel, some dont. And the difference between the two is effort, not race.

  The route I took, is available to EVERYONE !

And rather than paying my kids way to an elective education they wanted, I made them responsible for the majority of the financial aspect, but I do hold the safety net for them.

New police shooting happened recently in Atlanta that has people upset. The officer involved shooting has occurred at a Wendy's when a black male, Rayshard Brooks, 27, fell asleep in the drive through. Two officers conducted a DUI field sobriety test and determined he was intoxicated and tried to arrest him. Brooks resisted arrest, assaulted one of the officers then took the officer's taser. As Brooks was running, he turned around and fired the taser and an officer opened fire on Brooks killing him.

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/protesters-block-lanes-on-i-85-wendys-set-on-fire-after-killing-of-rayshard-brooks

Per usual, the Wendy's location was set on fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osqCKSUfpOI

Protesters also blocked an interstate.

The Mayor of Atlanta has called for the termination of the officer who fired the shots and he's been fired from the Atlanta Police Department. His partner is on administrative duties.

I guess asking someone to not drive while drunk, resist arrest, assault a police officer, steal his taser, fire the taser at the officer, is too much. The district attorney's office is going to find the shooting legally justified but the officer got fired strictly for PR.

He was shot in the back while running away. The cop's life was in no way endangered. If the shooting is found to be legally justified then it will be highlighting one of the main problems with law enforcement.

Police officers are armed. He had a tazer. If he hit an officer with a tazer he could have armed himself. That is a direct threat. This kind of incident is exactly why fucksticks like you get no respect, because you defend violent criminals. If he was an innocent victim everyone would be in agreement, but he wasn't. He was a violent drunk idiot who got HIMSELF shot.

   Your problem is not with Law Enforcement, it's with the law. Every state had this thing called laws. Somewhere within it, you'll find a section detailing deadly force and when its justified to use.   Then every Police dept has something they call Policy, or SOP's, or General Orders.   That book will also details when deadly force can and can't be used by police.  
   Most of them are quite similar from department to department, state to state.  If if you ever read one of these books, you'll find a phrase called "fleeing forcible felon" or "violent fleeing felon."  

    Resisting arrest is a felony.   Assaulting cops is a felony.  Disarming an Officer is a felony. Stealing an officer's taser is a felony. Pointing the stolen taser at an officer is a felony. Firing a taser at an Officer is a felony.  
    Assaulting officers is violence.  The fleeing felon has demonstrated he is quite capable of being a deadly threat to others.
  
   This is just another criminal who escalated a simple interaction into multiple felonies, and his own death.  

  Instead of "more training" or "police reform"...... maybe the public needs some training on resisting arrest..



   No one seems to mention, that every time the police have to use force on someone, it's because that someone resists, fights, or attacks the cops.

Quote
Under U.S. law the fleeing felon rule was limited in 1985 to non-lethal force in most cases by Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1. The justices held that deadly force "may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the officer or others."[2]
A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead...however...Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force.

I can somehow learn to live without garnering your respect, but really man, you have to stop crying in public. Its embarrassing.

Like I said before, the man was shot while running away. The police officer being aimed at with the taser had backup. Lethal force was totally uncalled for in this situation.

Statist authoritymongers are gonna toady for the state though, can't stop that.

Regardless of your feelings on this particular incident, if violent drunk/jacked up individuals have 100 run ins with police some are going to escalate to shootings.

At the same time, there's always been a hint of "maybe something's wrong here" on the topic of shooting people in the back.

See to have riot over dead soul is good but depends on the persons crime, the death of George Floyd by a police I suspected that may be George had issues with one of the officers previously before the incident that lead's to his death.
Because police can't because you are a stranger to their country them kill a living soul without a proper investigation.
I suggested that while police have to act in that capacity is because George resisted arrests.
We have to protest over George Floyd death to verify the objectives of police not arrest him peaceful.
Those police officers involved in the death of George floyd suppose to face panel so that other police officers across the country will take precaution.

The thing about education is that you can't recognize it if you haven't had it so the educated perspective comes off as "an alternate reality"

Here's an interesting perspective, if your are open-minded enough to look at something from somewhere other than a pre-conceived opinion.


Does America have a “racist cop” problem?

It’s easy to believe so when watching the disturbing videos of the deaths of George Floyd, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice at the hands of the police. But do horrific, high-profile cases like these accurately reflect the treatment of black Americans by the police?

Many observers say no.

Since 2015, The Washington Post has maintained a comprehensive database of fatal police shootings. The Post database shows that fatal shootings by police have run steadily at around 1,000 per year since 2015: 995 (2015); 963 (2016); 987 (2017); 998 (2018); and 1,004 (2019).

About twice as many white people as black people are killed by police. “In fact, in about 75 percent of police shootings, the decedent is not black,” says Andrew McCarthy, a columnist with the National Review.

“This pandemic of civil violence is more widespread than anything seen during the Black Lives Matter movement of the Obama years, and it will likely have an even deadlier toll on law enforcement officers than the targeted assassinations we saw from 2014 onward,” McCarthy wrote. “It’s worse this time because the country has absorbed another five years of academically inspired racial victimology.”

While the current national narrative is that black Americans are, as some Black Lives Matter advocates claim, being “targeted” by police, Rafael Mangual, deputy director of legal policy at the Manhattan Institute, says that view is backward.

“It is certainly fair to say that police have had a target on their backs for some time,” he told InsideSources.

I believe the number is that police officers are eighteen and a half times more likely to be killed by black males than unarmed black males are to be killed by police officers,” he said. “And studies have shown that the odds of a black man being killed in police custody are about one in 1,000.

So, is it the police that need the ambiguous talking point "more training" ?    Or does society need "more training"?   A simple 20 min PowerPoint presentation in free public school about law? A very simple understanding of.... don't fight police, attack police, or resist arrest, and your odds of being hurt by police are less than being struck by lightning.

You can't just blindly look at statistics without understanding why they are the way they are.  You need to zoom in and have a qualitative understanding to go with statistics.   You are ignoring a lot of the "whys" and only looking at the "whats"

Why are police being killed?

Why is there so much crime in some areas?

You will start to realize that despite massive amounts of policing, the areas with the most policing still have the highest crime.  If you arrest 1000 black people and kill one, the kill rate is low because you are arresting way too many people many of whom did nothing violent.  Now your rate of murdering black people looks better for a bad reason.  

Police, along with the justice and prison systems are manufacturing criminality.  We oppose training the public to respect police because
 this is not a supposed to be a police state.  Police need to serve their community by learning how to interact with them. Not the other way around.   We need to scale back the police big time and put most of  that money into things that will make society better.

That's cute.  Really really a cute idea.  Right out of a leftist politician playbook. However, it lack's one important factor...... TRUTH.
It's really an empty opinion to think police and "the system" are "manufacturing criminality."    Spend one friggin hour with any police department and you'll see they don't spend their time picking out who they want to arrest.
    You can pull up any department's UCR data and annual report. You'll find out the largest portion of police interaction and arrests stem from someone CALLING the cops.  It wasn't the cop's choice to go somewhere and dig up some BS charge, the cop's get called to a crime in progress.
  
   And the other contradictory issue is "respecting the police".   No, no ones looking for you to respect a particular person, but a civilized society expects you to respect their established LAWS.  When you don't respect the established LAWS, then you end up having to deal with the police.

  You are also ignoring a WHY.  You say the areas with the most police still have the most crime.  WHY?  Which came first, the crime or the police response?   The areas with the most police didn't start out by someone saying "you know what, we should have a shit ton of police, that'll stop crime."   The actual inverse happens.  Crime statistics increase, they hire more cops. Crime increases more, they hire even more cops.  Policing is REACTIVE in nature.

I guess asking someone to not drive while drunk, resist arrest, assault a police officer, steal his taser, fire the taser at the officer, is too much. The district attorney's office is going to find the shooting legally justified but the officer got fired strictly for PR.

He was shot in the back while running away. The cop's life was in no way endangered. If the shooting is found to be legally justified then it will be highlighting one of the main problems with law enforcement.
He was not running away. He turned towards the police office, pointed the tazer towards the officer and either shot the tazer or was indicating he was about to shoot the tazer. The tazer would have incapacitated the officer, and the person would have been able to take the officer's gun.

The use of force was 100% justified. Anyone who says otherwise is either uninformed or dishonest.

— Justice Byron White, Tennessee v. Garner[3]
 

Tennessee v. Garner would get the officer who fired shots off the hook but even below that any Georgia statute that outlines self defense would work too. A taser is a less than lethal, but not a non-lethal weapon, and the moment you steal that taser from an officer, it outlines a case for an officer to use deadly force. Considering the fact the suspect actually fired off the taser, self defense is a valid reason for the shot. It certainly doesn't help that the guy committed multiple felonies by resisting and obstructing. The Georgia DA's office is looking to have a decision out midweek on whether or not to file charges but the officer involved was already fired.

I can somehow learn to live without garnering your respect, but really man, you have to stop crying in public. Its embarrassing.

Like I said before, the man was shot while running away. The police officer being aimed at with the taser had backup. Lethal force was totally uncalled for in this situation.

Statist authoritymongers are gonna toady for the state though, can't stop that.

Not just me, anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. Could you possibly project your delusions any harder? Lethal force was ABSOLUTELY called for. Statist authoritymonger. That's funny. Look what else I found comtard:

That's cute.  Really really a cute idea.  Right out of a leftist politician playbook. However, it lack's one important factor...... TRUTH.
It's really an empty opinion to think police and "the system" are "manufacturing criminality."    Spend one friggin hour with any police department and you'll see they don't spend their time picking out who they want to arrest.
    You can pull up any department's UCR data and annual report. You'll find out the largest portion of police interaction and arrests stem from someone CALLING the cops.  It wasn't the cop's choice to go somewhere and dig up some BS charge, the cop's get called to a crime in progress.
  
   And the other contradictory issue is "respecting the police".   No, no ones looking for you to respect a particular person, but a civilized society expects you to respect their established LAWS.  When you don't respect the established LAWS, then you end up having to deal with the police.

  You are also ignoring a WHY.  You say the areas with the most police still have the most crime.  WHY?  Which came first, the crime or the police response?   The areas with the most police didn't start out by someone saying "you know what, we should have a shit ton of police, that'll stop crime."   The actual inverse happens.  Crime statistics increase, they hire more cops. Crime increases more, they hire even more cops.  Policing is REACTIVE in nature.
Its not that most cops are doing things out of line.  The main problem is that much of what police are supposed to do is already bad.  Police doing their jobs the way they should be done is manufacturing criminality.  Thats what ACAB is all about and theres a ton of truth to it.  

1. Look how many people are in prison on non-violent, drug offenses
2. Look at how many people who come out of prison reoffend.

 Drugs are a health issue and should not be criminalized anyway.  The police are the middle men in all of this. Grabbing people off the streets for "crimes" that are crime by law, putting these people into the system, and then they come out the other end hardened criminals.  

We will not blindly respect laws and will challenge them and the  people who are enforcing them if they are unjust.  These laws will not be respected because they are not enforced fairly.  You can look at discrepancies in sentencing by race for the same crimes and see huge discrepancies.  White people are doing most of the drugs while latinx and black people are being incarcerated at higher rates with lower use.

None of this is grounds for a death sentence. You can make the argument that he was potentially a "deadly threat" to others - the courts may see it otherwise. Regardless, running away with a discharged taser is not a justifiable reason to be executed.

If he was a deadly threat to others, why under Tennessee vs. Garner wouldn't the officers have the legal authority to shoot Brooks? I'd argue he was a potentially deadly threat to officers primarily, then bystanders.

   Resisting arrest is a felony.   Assaulting cops is a felony.  Disarming an Officer is a felony. Stealing an officer's taser is a felony. Pointing the stolen taser at an officer is a felony. Firing a taser at an Officer is a felony.  
    Assaulting officers is violence.  The fleeing felon has demonstrated he is quite capable of being a deadly threat to others.

None of this is grounds for a death sentence. You can make the argument that he was potentially a "deadly threat" to others - the courts may see it otherwise. Regardless, running away with a discharged taser is not a justifiable reason to be executed.

It really shouldn't matter what the law says cops can and can't get away with -- they should know better at this point in time that just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should do it.
The "rules of engagement" specify when and how they should use deadly force. Simple as that, although there may be gray areas. These rules vary tremendously by state.

Did you REALLY just write that?   Go back and read it again.    

"It really shouldn't matter what the law says" ???    

Thats literally the most important thing in the world.  Cops dont make the laws, they don't write the laws. They ENFORCE the established laws. The laws that are made by your elected politicians. In a court of law, where they (and you) are judged for their actions, literally the only thing that matters is WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
   Not the kids opinions, not the opinions of any race that want special treatment.  The cops have to follow the law, and none of this shit would be happening if everyone else did to.


"They should know better" ???  

 Better than what? The laws that govern their operation and procedure?  The laws of the state the operate in?
I think what you're really trying to say is you don't want cops to arrest black people for their crimes anymore. You want special treatment for blacks. There's the racist side of all this mess. The race pandering.  


There's a thing called unpleasant truths vs and comforting lies.  I'll give you an example:  
   BLM is fighting for the rights of the oppressed is your comforting lie.  But the unpleasant truth is they're destroying property and lives of the innocent, at a higher rate than anyone else, while most 'woke' folks are asleep to the fact they are nothing more than a political operative, funding and being directed by the Democratic Party.  
   Here's another one.  You think justice is served in the Floyd case, by rushing the charges on Chauvin. Makes you feel good, right? That knee hold looked awful.  Unpleasant truth is, Chauvin will be found not-guilty of murder. Because most of the public is ignorant of US law.

Nope. You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be, going full conspiratard in the process. Whatever argument you are making is not aided by projecting upon me and referencing conspiracies backed by zero actual evidence whatsoever.

The point is just because the police have the right to do something under the law, it does not mean that it is just. Laws are a continually evolving work in progress. Nothing is set in stone - not even the constitution - that's why we have amendments.

Just because police can do something awful legally, it doesn't mean they should do it. Is that really so hard to understand?

What conspiracy?  Oh, the BLM thing?   Take a look and you can find the truth, it can be found everywhere, you just refuse to look.

The cops ARE the law.  They change as the law changes.  Their entire job is literally enforcement of established law, regardless of personal feelings or beliefs. Humans doing a robots job. And things are set in stone, until they change the stone. Up until 1985, ANY felon fleeing from the law in Tennessee could be shot in the back, and they were.  That was the law.  Then in 1985, the Tennessee vs Garner case was heard by the US Supreme Court, and the law changed, now the fleeing felon must pose a risk of harm to others in order for deadly force to be used. That law changed, the cops changed with the law.

Here, you missed his one because the guy wasn't black, but same circumstances http://foxsanantonio.com/news/local/suspect-shot-dead-by-cop-after-taking-officers-stun-gun-tasing-him

How was he potentially a "deadly threat"? His taser had been discharged. He was running away from the cops. Not a deadly threat to anyone. Besides, its not about what the cops have the right to do under the law, its about what they should do. Being able to legally finesse your way into murder should be discouraged among our nation's police force.

The taser has a second shot to it. I also believe most tasers allow you to dry stun after the taser's shot has been deployed without the cartridge in place at the end of the taser (meaning you can hold the taser to the skin directly). Over 1,000 people have died after tasers were used on them since 2000, 150 of these autopsies show the taser having a significant impact on the cause of death. Also, tasers can be dangerous if you have any sort of heart condition. Also, if the taser is deployed near your face, the prongs can blind you.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-taser-911/

You have two elements -

1.) The taser itself causes extreme bodily harm or potential death.
2.) The taser incapacitates the officer which might result the suspect inflicting further bodily harm of potential death.

That's why the officer shot and it isn't unreasonable to say from a moral perspective that for the officer's safety, he had a right to defend himself. You put yourself in his shoes, you have someone that fought you and resisted arrest, stole a taser, then fired it at you. Would you not worry about your safety at that point given the circumstances? On a side note, I'm not even sure if the DA's office in Atlanta is going to let this go. I read an article stating that prosecutors are floating the idea of charging the officer who fired rounds probably to cave into the mob who's demanding the officer be charged. You then have an acquittal and people start the rioting cycle over again because they feel justice was not served.

You are exactly correct. Depending on the type of Taser (there are several). Some have a second shot in the primary cartridge. Some have single shot cartridges. If the single shot cartridge type is used, officers usually have either; 2 spare cartridges on their belt, or, 1 spare cartridge attached to the Taser battery, which inserts into the grip of the Taser.

Another notable fact. You do not need to WAIT to be assaulted/shot/tasered before defending yourself or others.

So if the taser is so dangerous then the police officer had no business taking it out in the first place.  That means Rayshard Brooks had reason to fear for his life, defend himself and also flee.   Secondly, don't chase a man that closely if you are afraid he's about to take your life.  Thats just dumb.    Police have no concept of defensive positioning when they are allegedly so scared for their lives.  We've seen officers drive up 2 feet away from a boy they thought was threatening their lives with a toy gun.

That's called finessing your way out of BEING murdered not committing murder. Assault on a police officer is pretty serious time. Weird how you are willing to make every assumption of innocence for the convicted child beater violently attacking police, but they are the bad guys for not letting themselves or others become victims. This is all of course while you don't even live here and don't have to deal with any of this. Of course you don't mind others paying for your cult membership, it is not your blood.

Wait, so he is free to assault the police, and they had no business taking out a tazer to stop him? So poor Mr. child beater Brooks had a legitimate fear for his life, but not the police? Do you eat paint chips or are you just totally and unabashedly full of shit?

There's no reason to believe he would not also take an officer's firearm if he was able to incapacitate the officer.

Unfortunately these people have reached a point in their mental degradation where they put emotion in equivalence with or above logic. You can't use logic to prove a point to some one who thinks emotions equal facts. Emotions are the doorway through which they are conditioned to believe their feelings equal logic, opening them to be easily manipulated. On some level they know how absolutely full of shit they are, but their cognitive dissonance won't allow them to admit it. Even if they can admit it to themselves quietly, they believe the ends justify the means, and because they "feel" it is right, by virtue of their good will, their actions become logical and right. These people aren't going to stop until they end up in a bloody pile. This is the inevitable result any time logic exits the equation.

On some level they know how absolutely full of shit they are, but their cognitive dissonance won't allow them to admit it. Even if they can admit it to themselves quietly, they believe the ends justify the means, and because they "feel" it is right, by virtue of their good will, their actions become logical and right. These people aren't going to stop until they end up in a bloody pile. This is the inevitable result any time logic exits the equation.

Since PopoJeff doesn't realize that the thing he is calling law, is really policy, what he says doesn't matter. The problem is that most people don't know the difference between law and policy - just like PopoJeff - so they succumb to the policy-makers in court.

Some people, IE you. If that was a civilian he would have been absolutely justified in the same use of force. Your default freeman replies aren't going to cut it here. Common law has clear standards about use of force. When you become violent and victimize others, you legally have all the rights of a rabid animal under common law.

Yes, I forgot Mr Decker has his own law. So for your purposes I can extrapolate a wee bit further....

APD policy is in tune with established case law. And... well, that's about all it takes.  Department policies must adhere to current US and state law, not BADecker's version of law.

You seem to forget all the hundreds of cases where a verdict was handed down through the ignorance of the people within the case. Anybody can find dozens of cases that, if the defendant or his attorney had know or used some simple law or court case that they didn't use, the whole case would have changed.

The point? If all you want to do is rely on the ignorance of the people, you are way worse than the people being tried.

One more aspect to consider.  

If police did not stop this dangerous felon immediately..... and he used that taser to carjack someone in the parking lot, and drove off in their car, while drunk, crashed and killed someone else.  

Who's fault would that be. The officer would be charged complicit to murder and fired, for the death of the innocent person killed by the fleeing felon.
  Who's live is more important? The violent criminal? Or an innocent bystander?

Quick, you have about 3 seconds to answer that, evaluate the risk and possibility, all while fighting for your life.

They are damned if they do, damned if they don't.


What if the cops, while shooting at the running/fleeing dude missed and the bullet shot/killed a bystander (imagine a pregnant white woman).
Whose fault is that?  How does the situation get dealt with ?

Maybe cops are trained at shooting moving target, maybe they are good at shooting, but an error is always possible, and the consequences can be dramatic.
Lethal force, should always be put in the balance and chosen only in last resort (regardless of the guy was a multi recidivist felon, child beater and drunk).

Cops are trained to evaluate the situation. This doesn't make it always easy.

The point for you and me is that we never know for a fact that some accident, even death, isn't going to happen to us in the next minute. So, we should always be prepared for death as much as we can.

Cops evaluate the crowded street. They won't shoot except if the crook is killing people right and left... or if they have a clear, accurate shot.

Accidents happen, but cops are far, far, far, less likely to cause them than the crook. I sure don't want to get in my car a little later, and get killed by somebody running a red light. But it happens. And so do stray bullets.

Couldn't agree more. One of the cardinal rules of firearms is to know your target, it's surroundings, and what's beyond it.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the current President. The person in that seat has very little influence on how any cop does his job. If any President influenced police relations for the worse, it was Obama who started the war on cops and added fuel to the fire, making it OK to judge all cops by the actions of a few. The same thing no racial group wants to happen to them.
    If you watch anything other than the leftist controlled media, you'll find out this President has actually accomplished more for more people, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. Probably the only President in my lifetime to do what he said he would, and not just blow smoke. Reagan is the last one I remember being this effective at getting things accomplished.
   If only our current President didnt tweet so much and get suckered into engaging trolls.

So if the taser is so dangerous then the police officer had no business taking it out in the first place.  That means Rayshard Brooks had reason to fear for his life, defend himself and also flee.   Secondly, don't chase a man that closely if you are afraid he's about to take your life.  Thats just dumb.    Police have no concept of defensive positioning when they are allegedly so scared for their lives.  We've seen officers drive up 2 feet away from a boy they thought was threatening their lives with a toy gun.  

If you think theres danger, you'd keep a distance.   They are creating the very threat to their lives they are killing people over.  These cowards have no business being police officers.

   Unfortunately, your opinion does not matter.  Established law does.  Feelings do not overrule facts.
You're arguing yourself in a never-ending circle of stupidity.

   Tasers can incapacitate. There is always one known firearm in any encounter, the cops gun. A cop cannot be allowed to become incapacitated, otherwise he can lose control of his firearm. This particular criminal already demonstrated he's got no hesitation in feloniously taking an officer's weapon. He demonstrated nothing but criminal activity. There's no reason to believe he would not also take an officer's firearm if he was able to incapacitate the officer.

  Your problem is you keep blaming cops for the criminal's actions. And you just cant see it, or even consider being objectively reasonable, because you have been conditioned to follow the herd.

I'm not blaming cops for anyone's actions but their own.  People do bad shit in these interactions but rarely does it justify execution and its cops escalating the whole while and eventually pulling the trigger.  I hold the cops responsible for the results and ensuring the safety of everyone involved because that is their job. If the job is unreasonable then we should change the job and that is exactly the solution I'm suggesting.  I'm not following the herd either.  I've been suggesting police reform and taking away guns from beat cops   for over ten years.

As I have said many times before, either you are a fucking moron or a liar. Nothing you suggest makes any God damned sense even if you manage to jam that last square neuron into that round role in that peanut you call a brain. Having a gun in the trunk is worth FUCK ALL. Yes, lets ask the homicidal maniac nicely if he would please not shoot you for a moment so you can go unlock the trunk.

Emotions are not equivalent to morals. Morals are a code of conduct, AKA logic. You should get a refund for your playskool psychology degree. Also, there are plenty of logical arguments against fucking eugenics dipshit, even if you are spending too much time drooling to think of them. Good try at an over the top straw man though, gold star for effort.

I would say it is exactly the opposite.  Psychopaths tend to be expert at using emotion.  At least the high-functioning ones do.  Since they are, by definition, lacking in some of the normal emotions (esp, empathy) they tend to study intently what makes normal people tick and thus obtain unique insights into how emotion works.  A characteristic of psychopaths IS that they use emotive methods and often extremely effectively.

A 'truther' would tend to lean most heavily on logic and reason.  Since they are usually not psychopaths emotion does get the better of them fairly often though.  When I think of what the psychos have done to ordinary people with their 'waves' ('covid-19' scamdemic, staged Floyd killing, etc) I go through brief periods of rage.  I actually do get 'triggered'.  But it only lasts a few seconds before I get it under control because I know (from experience) how detrimental blind rage is toward a goal of accomplishing anything productive.

IMO the response to Floyd's tragic murder has been on-net rather positive. I don't like the focus on race, but the ability of police to literally get away with murder (and even more easily get away with a bit less than murder) has long been a huge problem. As an ancap, I love the fact that "defund police!" is becoming a war cry of some, even if most of the people behind this aren't thinking about it in nearly the same way I am.

That said, I recently learned that the family of George Floyd is being represented by the lawyer Ben Crump. Ben Crump also represented the family of Trayvon Martin, and is responsible for successfully spreading a huge amount of false information in that case. Most people think that Zimmerman in that case was unfairly acquitted, when in fact Zimmerman was clearly acting in self-defense, and most of the arguments offered by Crump were complete fabrications which the media ate up but which the jury correctly and thankfully rejected. He even got away with a crazy witness-swap thing; see The Trayvon Hoax by Joel Gilbert. Since Crump is involved here, we're all probably about to hear a whole lot of complete bullshit fabricated by Crump and amplified by the media, if we haven't already. I think that Floyd actually was murdered by the police, so it's a real shame that Crump is going to turn this into the biggest circus he possibly can.

Got this in an email. So, somebody show me if the following statistics are wrong, and where.

----------

According to the “ FBI Uniform Crime Report and the Washington Post “  last year 2019 there were 10 million arrests by police...   yes ...    10  MILLION

Out of those 10 MILLION arrests there were  1,004  police officer involved fatalities.

Out of those 1,004 police officer involved fatalities   41   were unarmed individuals.

Out of those  41  police officer involved unarmed fatalities -  now you might find it hard to believe I know, but out of 41 deaths, now hear this...

19 were white - 19   WERE WHITE !

9 were black -   9   WERE BLACK !

Now one is one too many but  41 out of  10  million is remarkable !

 
Now...  how many police officers were killed in the line of duty — take a wild guess. ?

89  POLICE officers were killed - but where is the media on that one ?

Just to bring it home to you.   Take another guess at how many people were shot in CHICAGO just this pass weekend.

In Chicago  82   people were shot within a 48 hour period.   Of those 82 people  19  people died !

Yes you got it.   In Chicago alone - last weekend alone there were more black people killed by (wait for it...) more black people, than were killed by police officers - in all of last year - 2019

The radical democrat and lying media hypocrisy is unbelievable - their message to the American public is completely and utterly “ FALSE “ -  “ DISHONEST “ and “ DISGUSTING “ on every level !

Do not believe these facts - please research and see for yourself !  

Thank you to Bernard Kerik, Former NYPD Pokice Commissioner for sharing this information.

None of these facts have been denied, contradicted, or ignored by the media or politicians.  In fact, they are part of why we are angry.

1. More unarmed white people are killed than blacks.  

This is true because there are more white people.  The issue is the proportion seen in the graphic below.   This stat should also alarm people who don't even care about black lives.  Everyone should be concerned about police brutality.  There is an underlying problem with general policing.  Racism is an additional problem embedded into the entire system so just like any other systemic failure (such as COVID, diabetes, etc), black people will be affected disproportionately.  
https://thesocietypages.org/toolbox/files/2020/05/Screen-Shot-2020-05-26-at-10.57.03-AM-1024x721.png

2. Chicago (like many american cities) has a high violent crime rate.

This is true and also more reason for police reform/defunding/abolition.  The police are responsible for fighting crime so when crime is high, the police have failed and nowhere is that history of failure documented as much as Chicago.  The police department has a deep history of corruption, organized crime, and racism.  Who do you call when the police are criminals?  no one.   When people don't trust the police, criminals can operate freely and that is what you have in Chicago.  

Its time to take a ton of money out of police departments and put it towards the many things we know will help prevent crime instead of perpetuate it.

No reason to post truths here anymore.  Y'all have fun.

But to keep this one 'on topic'......  I believe Minneapolis can burn. Riot and wreck your community you fools

And to address the above post, of course more black males age 18-35 are killed by police, in disparity from population make up,  they are responsible for +/- HALF of all violent crime although comprising only 1.4% of the US population.
   If HALF of ALL VIOLENT crime Police respond to is being committed by black males age 18-35, then they are making up 50% of all police contacts, but yet more white boys get killed.  Seems the whiteys should be rioting.

The statistic argument is only a part of the picture here. By implying that black people are just lazy because they're black, or commit crime because they're black, or shouldn't complain about racism because they're black you are implying that black people are generally inferior to white people.  Or, in other words, White people are superior to black people.  Or, to put it bluntly, these are white supremacist arguments.

Facts^^^^^^^

The real enemy are those stoking divisions between people so if those who are blindly following the mass hysteria herd,step back and look at the facts,the whole truth and not just the selected truth to suit the current hashtag narrative,they should be able to make rational based decisions and not be consumed by this hysteria designed in the end to exploit their emotional based nature and in the end create something that is neither in the interest of ordinary Black or White people.It is the common masses of ALL races that are being deceived right now.

This type of crap pisses me off.  This was not a racist situation, this was a situation where an officer of the law broke the law and killed a man and there is no reason that this should have turned violent like it did. Now they are taking down flags and statutes, taking programming off television, and removing products from the shelves that have been a mark on our society for generations. I am so sick of people turning things racist. I could go on and on, but I just want to voice my disgust at this time.

Ok, be explicit then.  Do you think white people are superior to black people when it comes to being a productive member of society?

Typical leftist ideology and theory..... if you dont like the truth, blame it on racism.

The supply of real racism has dwindled so badly in the recent years, yet the liberals have such a high demand for racism....this is what you get.

Interesting how you never heard of Systemic or Institutional racism a dozen years ago. Apparently we needed to come up with a new theory, which in itself, I believe is racist.
  For the liberals to see racism in everything, they are implying that they believe the black race is not able succeed on their own, so they need little white liberals help.

The system here in the US is SOOOOOO racist, that it prevented a black man from being President of the US over a decade ago..... oh wait.


You say .... BS PopoJeff, you're full of it.  Ok then, why do these issues only show up at election time?
Nothing more than liberal propaganda. And you youngsters are drinking the koolaid.

Growing up in the '70s and '80s, we didnt have this BS. We could actually find humor in the old racist ways. We got along without just assuming someone was racist based on their skin color. Watch Blazing Saddles, or the 1975 SNL interview skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor.

The statistics are only part of the problem, yet it is a big part of the problem, and one Postmodernist Marxists such as yourselves avoid at all cost, because it would require not only self examination, but personal responsibility. Everyone knows Marxist victim culture race hustling dies in the light of personal responsibility, and you can't have that now can you?

You people are complaining about some one throwing a firecracker into some ones yard while the supposed victims are carpet bombing themselves. Your focus is irrelevant in the larger context of ACTUAL REALITY, not just the myopic context erasing hyper-focus you depend on to perpetuate your Marxist race hustling.

Marxism has a simple formula. Either find or manufacture victims, teach them that they are justified in victimizing others to create "equality", which then results in even more victims, which can then be utilized in a giant carcinogenic feedback loop of human centipede like fecal consumption of victim-hood. They find actual genuine causes, infiltrate them, then subvert the efforts from their original goals into Marxist goals until the now decaying husk of an organization has its reputation ruined, then they move on to the next.

This is done with organizations focused on minority rights, LGBT rights, poverty issues, education, environmental issues, migrant groups, etc, anything where victims can be found or created. These victims are then used as human shields to perpetuate their political goals, and anyone against their political goals are now automatically racist/sexist/homophobic/deniers/etc. None of you give a good God damn about these people you use as political pawns, you only care that they are a means to your end. If you cared about these people you wouldn't CONSTANTLY struggle to hide the underlying causes and core facts of these issues, preventing them from being effectively addressed. Of course if the real causes are addressed, you don't get to keep your human shields now do you?

Lets look at some facts:

Blacks or African Americans account for 12.6% of the US population.

https://archive.vn/20200213004951/https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/15_5YR/DP05/0100000US


"According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Homicide

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf



93% of African American murder victims are killed by other African Americans.

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf


"While young black males have accounted for about 1% of the population from 1980 to 2008, they have made up an increasing proportion of homicide victims, going from 9% of all homicide victims in 1980 to 18% in 1994...
By 2008, young black males made up about a quarter of all homicide offenders (27%)"


https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf



"...errors in police deadly force decision making (cases in which police shoot unarmed, non-attacking citizens) occur at a rate of about one in a million."

https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"...between 90 and 95 percent of civilians shot were attacking police or others. "


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"Researchers also found that 90 percent of civilians shot by the police in 2015 were “armed.”  Notably, the definition of “armed” did not include civilians attempting to take an officer’s gun."


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"The factor that correlated most strongly to the race of the person fatally shot was the violent crime rate of their racial group."


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/




I look forward to the incessant screeching of "REEEEEEEEEEEEEECISM!" in response to these facts.

I think the disproportional crime rates, education levels, overall health is all due to the gap in income, especially poverty levels.

8.9% of Whites under 18 live in poverty compared to  28.5% of Blacks.

https://i.gyazo.com/33ff7811bcd72e3625927bff178c4d9c.png

I think this can be directly attributed to the fact that 156 years ago black people had zero rights and it's only been 56 years since the civil rights act.

Things are definitely better now than they were in 1964 and in 1964 they were definitely better than they were in 1865, but I don't think that kind of systemic racism can just go away over the course of a few generations, and those stats you keep posting are , in my opinion evidence of that.

What is your opinion on why the stats are so different for white and black people?  I'm honestly curious.

Weird, you would think that since young Asians have a higher poverty rate than whites in the US, that they would have a higher rate of criminal activity if your explanation has any basis, but the opposite is true. This is exactly why shithustlers like you avoid statistics at all costs, because you reply completely upon assumptions, emotional appeal, and just flat out being full of shit.

Ah stop being so ridiculous.Nobody is generalizing any race or claiming superiority.Your retorts are like that of any other Left Wing Extremist who slanders anyone who has a differing opinion to this media frenzy,as a white supremacist.You obviously have a personal bias towards the "movement" whereas I don't.

There are many good productive people from BOTH races as there are many highly qualified professionals,academics,and general decent people from BOTH races.Likewise there are many lawless,criminal and degenerate types from BOTH races however poverty,disadvantage or lack of privilege is NEVER an excuse for Violent crime or reason to infringe upon the constitutional rights of others.

Yes the cop who killed Mr Floyd was a perfect example of police brutality but black people and white snowflakes ignoring the fact that white people suffer under this same brutality are diverting the attention away from the whole issue and causing target fixation on only a part of it.This in itself is a disservice to society and also allows the instigators of the collapse of a peaceful legitimate protest get away with what they are doing and some the media are collaborators with their co conspirators who want to make this into a divisive race matter when it should simply be a police brutality matter.In fairness then,Black people ignoring injustices suffered by white people killed unjustly at the hands of the police are being "racist" and "their silence is ALSO violence".


You need to focus your attention on the gangbangers selling drugs murdering other black people while being glorified by celebrity gangster rappers for their "lifestyle choices" and stop blaming society for their bad choices.Many black and white under privileged people work and educate their way out of poverty and the job of government is to provide plenty of opportunity and jobs for people instead of squandering it on foreign wars and other shit that causes mayhem.

Leftist extremists only want a government that steals from the productive and gives to the unproductive which in the end leaves NO incentive for anyone ..to do shit,while they advocate for people incarcerated for drug offenses be released from prison imediately.Drugs are one of the main causes in areas stricken with poverty and he we have our "social justice warriors" wanting the same people who have caused serious issues among the community to be free to carry on their trade.People who sell drugs do so mainly out of greed while people who steal baby food and bread do so mainly out of desperation.They need to sort out their fucking priorities ;-)

Stop making excuses for violent criminal behavior and lawlessness and indirectly through such excuses support this activity.Next you will be making excuses for the gangs roaming all across south Africa targeting and murdering old white people in their homes,crucifying & raping and pillaging their "way out of poverty".

The people legitimately protesting need to stop colluding with these rioters by remaining silent about the mayhem and evict them from their peaceful protest and at the same time sort out their racist attitude towards white people.

Be gone with your fucking nonsense :-)

I honestly still don't get the point of racism since it seems ridiculous considering there's great people from all races. Where I live and grew up, we're all pretty much something of everything from black to white, latin, asian, etc and there really doesn't feel like many issues here (most people are kind and go out of their way to help you if you need regardless of race). I think more than anything, at least in my eyes is the fact that the cop killed a person. No cop should kill a person when they aren't resisting and aren't in some sort of danger so I really do feel like the cop that killed George had a lot of malice.

I've already made note of the logical fallacy in Twitch's "question", and he's routinely done this before. That's not in the least a personal attack.

Nooooooooo.......... I haven't implied anything so don't be misrepresenting what I have said.I have stated facts that are true and correct and not selective factes or half truths to collaborate with ANY narrative.I am neither Left or Right.I am in favour of reason and rational thought only and for someone to implicate presented facts as a white supremacist form of argument indicates a bias or wilful ingnorance or worse still blatant left wing extremist form of response. I am provoking rational thought which any sane person would be able to interpret as a logical argument.

Ok, be explicit then.  Do you think white people are superior to black people when it comes to being a productive member of society?

If not, then what is your explanation for the facts. (white vs black crime, income, education, health, etc)

Ah stop being so ridiculous.Nobody is generalizing any race or claiming superiority.Your retorts are like that of any other Left Wing Extremist who slanders anyone who has a differing opinion to this media frenzy,as a white supremacist.You obviously have a personal bias towards the "movement" whereas I don't......

The WHY behind the matter can never be pinned down exactly. We'd love to find the one explanation and blame it on that, but there is no ONE explanation.

We'd love to say 'systemic racism' or 'institutional racism' in the US.... but those are made up theories that are easily disproven when you look outside the US to find very similar racial disparities in other countries and continents.

We'd love to say 'redlining' practices of some cities kept the blacks in poverty areas, but you'll find research that shows there were more white people in those areas.

The so called 'experts' in race shaming whites for the plight of the blacks are actually the biggest racists of them all, including the Democratic Party. Just think how racist it is to think so poorly of black people that you feel the need to speak for their kind and explain why they can't get ahead without your help.


I cant say I have the one answer to your question, and I doubt there is one answer.  There are so many exceptions to the rule, that it's really not a rule anymore.
   There are successful people of EVERY race and gender in every level of the economy and government. We're Sooooooo racist in the US that we had a black President. And we see failures from every race too.

I've seen scientific studies indicating darker pigmented mammals have higher levels of testosterone. Higher levels of testosterone decrease intelligence and increase propensity for violence. I've seen studies of increased breakdown of the family structure being a clue. Absentee fathers. Etc...

There are so any generalizations with shaky evidence, that I doubt most of the theories.

In my opinion, there's no ONE answer, but I put a lot of weight on individual responsibility and the lack of it in the poorer black neighborhoods. When the elitist liberals, entire Democratic Party, and the left-owned media tell you day after day that your life is someone else's fault, the government will pay/feed/save you, you are owed something for doing nothing, and white people hate you......  why the heck should you think any differently and take responsibility for your own life?  

And to keep 'on topic' to avoid biased moderation.... Riots are counterproductive, only reinforcing stereotypes.


But if you think it's all about race, and has nothing to do with one political party manipulating as much as they can to keep themselves in power, you'd be a fool.

A Democratic President's words... not mine.

Your use of statistics is incorrect.

Suppose you and I line up with several other people who happen to be black. Of any number of strong statistical factors, making us similar and different, race is a WEAK FACTOR.
I suspect it's a very, very weak factor. Those of us in inter racial marriages and families really laugh at this kind of analysis. But your political environment wants to focus on that as the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR.

Thus I have to agree with others that the premises on which your questions are based are flawed, but that's only due to your work as a Democratic Operative. I understand, you're not in control of what they tell you to parrot, the talking points for this week.

We were assuming his opinions were based on racist, white supremacist ideas but that post is full of evidence that makes it much more than an assumption now.  Be wary of anyone whose posts use individual examples to dispel systemic racism.   Systemic racism never implied that every single black person's success was prevented.  

Take leaded water as one piece of the racist pie.  You can have lead leech into a population's water supply and there is a well known mechanism for how this impairs cognitive development and impulse control and then have a generation of children who grow up with higher rates of criminality.  Thats not saying every single child who drinks the water will become a criminal but its an increased likelihood.  Some individuals are so exceptional that they can overcome and many are unaffected.  

So why don't they just move where the water is clean?

This attitude intentionally ignores the history of segregation in the US.  Most black people have parents or grandparents who were forced to live in certain areas; often the most polluted areas of the city, breathe dirty air, drink dirty water, and go to shitty schools.  You can't just "take responsibility" for something that is enforced throughout society.

Then theres non-violent crimes.  You may say "well then don't commit crimte" but  white kids smoke pot (at a higher rate) or commit petty crimes and its just "mischief" they get off for and go on to lead normal lives.  Poor black kids smoke pot (at a lower rate) and police are sent in to catch them (at a much higher rate) and get them involved in the system.  We have a justice system and prison system that is intentionally retributive and makes very little attempt to rehabilitate.  In fact, blacks consistently get harsher penalties for the same exact crimes.    Our prisons take in people who used drugs, turns them into criminals, then puts them back on the street with even LESS opportunities.  

Also, if you're going to use Obama as an example, you might want to look into his family history and upbringing because theres a certain detail that specifically  allowed his family more opportunity which directly affected him.

I've seen scientific studies indicating darker pigmented mammals have higher levels of testosterone. Higher levels of testosterone decrease intelligence and increase propensity for violence.
Yep.  There it is.  Popojeff is a white supremacist.  He had to preface it with about 3 paragraphs of fluff before backing into it, but it came right out.  Of course, he wrote the post in a way where he can back out of it, because he's a closet white supremacist.

And look at you, following page 2 of the Democrat playbook..... call them racist if you don't know how to discuss facts.

You've proven you refuse to look at facts, or consider anything other than the lies that are pushed down your throat. JUST CALL THEM RACIST IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO !

Are you saying Obama wasn't black, or wasn't successful ?

Tell me what's more racist:
 1. Reading written words on an Internet forum a discussing the facts behind them.
2. Assuming ones skin color and white supremacy by the words they wrote?

You've never seen me, have no idea what my skin color is, and your racist mind assumes I'm white.

I've agreed with all of the facts you posted and have known about them for a long time.  We only differ on why we think those stats are the way they are.  I attribute the current state of things to history.  

Where did I assume your skin color?  Everyone over a certain age in most of this country was indoctrinated into a white supremacist world view from a young age.  Candace Owens is a notable black white supremacist.  The thing about ignorance is that it doesn't need to make sense.

Having a white supremacist world view doesn't mean that your intentions are bad, it just means that you honestly believe the disparities in the statistics exist because people with a darker skin tones have, as a whole, made choices that are inferior to the choices made by people with white skin.  

The alternative to the white supremacist world view is to acknowledge the disparities exist due to the historical fact that black people have been systematically oppressed by the legal, financial, health, housing, labor, education, and criminal justice systems throughout the course of this nation's history and that the residual effects of that historical oppression still linger, and are still being furthered today.  

Overcoming systemic oppression is not about being "stupid" or "smart" because even if we were living in a capitalist system completely absent of racism, family wealth would be the number one factor that determines your future and the racial wealth gap is ever increasing.

And yes, I do believe children are "too stupid" to overcome the effects of generational poverty and give themselves a level playing field in the first 10 years which are the most important developmental years.  

Obama is black and successful but he wasn't the best example because he had the advantage of being raised by people with white privilege.  With that said, there are definitely extremely gifted individuals who came out of nothing with much less than Obama and I want to reiterate the point that outliers do not dispel trends.   If a failure is an outlier, it is an individual problem but if failure is a statistical trend, it is a societal problem.

Look TECSHARE, racial disparities:

Lets look at some facts:

Blacks or African Americans account for 12.6% of the US population.

https://archive.vn/20200213004951/https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/15_5YR/DP05/0100000US


"According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Homicide

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf



93% of African American murder victims are killed by other African Americans.

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf


"While young black males have accounted for about 1% of the population from 1980 to 2008, they have made up an increasing proportion of homicide victims, going from 9% of all homicide victims in 1980 to 18% in 1994...
By 2008, young black males made up about a quarter of all homicide offenders (27%)"


https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf



"...errors in police deadly force decision making (cases in which police shoot unarmed, non-attacking citizens) occur at a rate of about one in a million."

https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"...between 90 and 95 percent of civilians shot were attacking police or others. "


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"Researchers also found that 90 percent of civilians shot by the police in 2015 were “armed.”  Notably, the definition of “armed” did not include civilians attempting to take an officer’s gun."


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/



"The factor that correlated most strongly to the race of the person fatally shot was the violent crime rate of their racial group."


https://www.forcescience.org/2019/08/researchers-find-no-racial-disparity-in-police-deadly-forceand-thats-just-the-beginning/


What do you think the cause is of these racial disparities?  Everyone claiming systemic racism doesn't exist so far has been unable to provide any sort of opinion on this, other than what's not causing it.

It does seem like popojeff thinks the reason for all the racial disparities is simply because black people are just naturally inferior compared to White people.  I've asked directly several times now: if the reason isn't systemic racism, than what is it?  Nobody seems to be able to come up with a rational explanation and instead resort to personal attacks and trolling.

Tearing down monuments is a part of history.

Yeah after a war of independence. That wasn't history for them, that was their modern day. War for independence from him, mentally ill unwashed comtards pushing Marxism, same thing right?

Let's be honest here. You've crafted loaded questions before, ones that lead answers in directions that you sought. I've pointed this out. This is a real insult to those of us out here who work and live in multi cultural situations, and who are in inter racial marriages. You've politicized issues, and it's all quite obvious. What Popojeff did wrong was taking you seriously. The bigoted, racist, prejudiced person that I'm seeing here is you, but that's a separate issue. Coinsforcommies is just a liar pushing dialectic, but I think you could do better.

We agree on the facts.  I've said this many times, I'm not sure why you keep saying that.  I'm not countering any facts.

It's the WHY the facts are what they are that we're discussing.

I'm also honestly interested in your opinion.

When do you think black people were no longer affected by systemic racism?  Surely it had to be a gradual process right?

Here's the time line:
400 years ago the first slaves were brought over from Africa to Virginia
156 years ago they were no longer considered personal property that could be owned by White Men.
56 years ago the civil rights act was passed.

At what point did systemic racism completely phase out of America?

I gave you a reasonable information, and said my "answer" is that there is no ONE answer
Here's the refresher if you've already convoluted the words in your brain.

Quote
I cant say I have the one answer to your question, and I doubt there is one answer.  There are so many exceptions to the rule, that it's really not a rule anymore.
   There are successful people of EVERY race and gender in every level of the economy and government. We're Sooooooo racist in the US that we had a black President. And we see failures from every race too.

I've seen scientific studies indicating darker pigmented mammals have higher levels of testosterone. Higher levels of testosterone decrease intelligence and increase propensity for violence. I've seen studies of increased breakdown of the family structure being a clue. Absentee fathers. Etc...

There are so any generalizations with shaky evidence, that I doubt most of the theories.

In my opinion, there's no ONE answer, but I put a lot of weight on individual responsibility and the lack of it in the poorer black neighborhoods. When the elitist liberals, entire Democratic Party, and the left-owned media tell you day after day that your life is someone else's fault, the government will pay/feed/save you, you are owed something for doing nothing, and white people hate you......  why the heck should you think any differently and take responsibility for your own life?  

You just dismiss it as racism.

We know systemic racism isn't the answer either. That's been proven an incorrect theory created for political influence.  

So if it's not systemic racism, and you think my input is racist. Then what's your theory ?

It's not COMPLETELY phased out, Asian Americans are still facing blatant discrimination in college admissions. They have to have much better test scores than other racial groups such as Blacks to get into the better colleges. This is well known and is accepted method to liberals. Why?

Of course, "systemic racism" as you use it is largely imaginary. But the admissions policies are hard facts, and they actually do incorporate racism against Asians.

Affirmative action is only partially offsetting some of the privilege Asian and white students already have (built into the testing scores).  Affirmative action hasn't ended systemic racism but it has decelerated the growth in disparities caused by it.   You asked for solutions to increased crime. Well access to higher education is one of the best ways to offset the underlying causes of the problems we've been talking about.

From the same article as the graphic I posted above...If you interpreted that graph, you'd already see that Asains are now the most overrepresented group at our top colleges and rising.
Quote
Affirmative action increases the numbers of black and Hispanic students at many colleges and universities, but experts say that persistent underrepresentation often stems from equity issues that begin earlier.

Elementary and secondary schools with large numbers of black and Hispanic students are less likely to have experienced teachers, advanced courses, high-quality instructional materials and adequate facilities, according to the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.

“There’s such a distinct disadvantage to begin with,” said David Hawkins, an executive director at the National Association for College Admission Counseling. “A cascading set of obstacles all seem to contribute to a diminished representation of minority students in highly selective colleges.”

Yes, they are and so are White people.  Education plays a major roll in systemic racism.  Black and Hispanic young adults go to college at a much lower rate than Whites and Asians, accepting more Black and Hispanic students has a long term affect on systemic racism.  Someone with a college education is less likely to live in poverty, commit crime, etc.  And the same goes for their children, grandchildren etc.

You asked me a direct question and I answered it.  Will you answer mine please?

Why do you think there's such a disparity between black and white people with regards to poverty, health and crime?

Just to be clear, " explicitly racist, prejudiced, and operating with blatant stereotypes. " is not an an hominem argument, but purely descriptive of behavior based on your own words and concepts.

There would seem to be no way around this.

Techshare does not, by way of contrast, show " explicitly racist, prejudiced " viewpoints. Such labels applied to him are ad hominem logical arguments. More precisely though, they are part of your scripted dialectic, that which you've been handed and told to work with.

Since the Civil Rights Movement explicit racism has been less and less prevalent in America.

Cases of implicit racism seem to be on the rise recently, especially since the the BLM movement has gone global.

Stereotyping all BLM protesters as thugs and violent criminals, or stating racial crime statistics without any context as a rebuttal to the BLM movement are both examples of implicit racism.

if the reason isn't systemic racism, than what is it?

Blacks are much poorer than whites, are less likely to have stable families, are less likely to have high-quality educations, etc. This is caused mostly by past slavery, long-time government oppression, and past racism. A freed slave had no property or education, so they couldn't afford to educate their children or give them much property. Furthermore, they were often basically forced into a pseudo-slavery system by the government. Then due to poor education and racist laws, the next several generations found it very difficult to accumulate much wealth and very easy to have any wealth they did accumulate taken from them. Government, courts, and society were constantly pushing them back in an ever-deeper hole. Even a couple of generations ago, after most of the racism written into law was gone, societal racism was a drag on these people.

However, now the direct racism is mostly gone. There are still a small number of racist people in powerful positions, but IMO it's a minor factor. If you reformed every single one of these people, I don't think you'd see much difference in society. The problem is that many black families were pushed into a very deep hole, and they just haven't had time to dig themselves out yet, even though society is no longer still dragging them back into the hole very much. Generations of oppression isn't going to be undone immediately, even when the oppression stops.

The justice system, business, etc. is biased against poor and uneducated people, which disproportionately affects certain minorities, but this is because these groups are disproportionately poor and uneducated, due for example to the previously-mentioned factors. Poor and uneducated whites are also treated poorly by the justice system.

Blaming the racial inequality on "structural racism" is counter-productive: First, modern racism is IMO not actually a huge part of what's causing this inequality, so you're aiming at the wrong target. Second, a lot of conservatives see this stuff as you calling them racist even when they're not, which prevents you from ever getting their support. Third, policies which are designed to help one race over another (such as racial affirmative action or diversity quotas) in order to balance inequalities are themselves racist and unfair, and a lot of people despise such policies. Instead of complaining about "structural racism", it'd be more effective to support programs that help poor and uneducated people across the board. Since minorities are disproportionately poor and uneducated, any such programs will disproportionately help minorities; it's like affirmative action, but without pissing people off.

Many of the mainstream-left proposals are also simply ineffective: Affirmative action and diversity initiatives help a few individuals, but have little effect on the group as a whole. Many types of welfare encourage dependence on the government and discourage work, just making things worse. Government education sucks in general, and throwing more money at it rarely helps. IMO the solution probably has to do with ensuring stable family lives and good education. Ending the drug war and helping people addicted to drugs would be a good idea. Helping people relocate from inner cities without any good jobs to lower-population-density areas with decent jobs would be a good idea. Ensuring that children are going to good schools, have good nutrition, and are not distracted by home issues would be a good idea. (I'd ideally advocate doing all this through non-profits, not government.)

The BLM "Platform" is explicitly racist.

I notice you are now trying to distinguish between "explicit" and "implicit."

"Implicit" is interesting because by way of this subterfuge you would assign to yourself the ability to judge such a thing.

But it's laughably easy to see through this ruse.

One problem with this "New Trend" which you are parroting is that it ignores many things that were well understood as causative to issues with American blacks. For example, it's been well documented that Johnson's (DEMOCRAT) "Great Society" initiative was a major factor in disintegration of black families, and the huge tracts of low income housing built were totally destined to become ghettos.

Learn from history, and move forward.

Ignore history, blame "implicit racism", see it everywhere, strive to adjudicate it's presence from your own assumed moral authority, and regress.

But taking the latter course assists the attempt to take over the Democratic Party, and the country or sections of it, with the new perverted, authoritarian and totalitarian Left. Facts don't matter, getting power does matter.

Right?

   It's really getting funny how hypocritical the left is... point the finger... point the finger, and everyone looks over there. They pay no attention to what you are doing, just what you point at.
   Implicit racism, institutional racism, systemic racism, this racism, that racism..... they come out with a new type of racism whenever they run out of the last one.

  They keep talking in a circle, but always hit on one point....... poverty.   Now, in the Democrats eyes (yes, this is all political now), the poverty is caused by racism. (Look over there). Whatever type of racism they attribute it to is always disproved, so they'll create a new type of racism next election cycle.  But the poverty is actually caused by Liberal Democrat policies, in Democrat controlled cities, in Democrat controlled states.
    They'll show you propaganda films of black kids being unable to succeed because they couldn't go to a good rich school 2 blocks away because of imaginary lines. But when they'll leave out the part of school funding, and increased funding to poorer schools had ZERO effect. It's proven that throwing money at poverty doesnt work, it just creates dependency, and that's what the Democrats want.
    We see higher crime rates among the poor in every race. The black community fears racism, and when you can control someone's fear, you control them.  Just like their Democratic President LBJ said, they'll keep them voting Democrat for 200 years. The poor communities are being kept poor intentionally. The Democrats give the poor free money, free housing, free food. The poor have literally zero incentive to work, better their lives, or leave their free accommodations. And thats how the Democrats want it.
   And what' the next best voter base they can manipulate?  The young and naive. Shove propaganda down the throats of the young naive kids with feelings via Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and you can make someone born less than two decades ago think they are guilty for something that happened two centuries ago.

  Some of us have been on this earth long enough to see this happen EVERY election cycle. Theres a routine. Theres a pattern.

   But do not fret.... there is a cure for racism. And the Democrats have already found it. It's OPEN BORDERS.  They've already done studies on the Latino vs Black birth rates in the US. The black birth relate is dropping, and the Latino birth rate is rising. Open borders can expedite their plan, and once they feel they can manipulate the larger Latino vote, you will see the switch happen. All of a sudden, you'll see the political battle cry switch from black racism to Latino something. Racism will have been cured.

   Have you not noticed already, the change in the narrative from the last election cycle?   4 years ago, it was just RACISM, RACISM.   That didnt work, so now they want to scream it louder, come up with systemic racism, oh, and this time lets throw in some white supremacy to top it off.   Yes, one talking head in this thread actually called Candice Owes a white supremacist.  

On topic..... George Floyd was a career criminal with a much higher probability of dying while committing crime, than a non-criminal.

[ing ]https://i.gyazo.com/70de29950b81495535e1b0a4aeb8d30c.png[/img]

Tearing down monuments is a part of history.
There is a major difference between tearing down a statue of someone who is currently imposing tyranny (or was just forcibly stopped from continuing doing so) upon a group of people, and a statute of a historical figure. The former is a sign that the tyrant's reign has stopped, and the former is destroying history. I actually suspect the intention of tearing down historical statues is going to lead to eventually (not long from now) rewriting history.
it'd be more effective to support programs that help poor and uneducated people across the board. Since minorities are disproportionately poor and uneducated, any such programs will disproportionately help minorities; it's like affirmative action, but without pissing people off.
The obvious solution would be to increase charter schools in poor areas.

Ineffective public schools have lead to horribly math and reading proficiency scores in poor areas of the country. Charter schools have consistently done a better job at educating students. In New York City, there were 28 classes in which charter schools shared buildings with public schools. Roughly (https://www.wsj.com/articles/charter-schools-enemies-block-black-success-11592520626) 10% of public school students were proficient on statewide tests, while between 81 and 100% of students at charter schools received proficient scores on the same tests.

Ending the drug war and helping people addicted to drugs would be a good idea.
It would be difficult to do both. It would probably be a good idea to rethink the approach to the drug war. Leniency should be given to very low-level offenders first several offenses, but those who sell drugs should be punished. Drug dealers profit off of people getting addicted to the drugs they are selling, which causes real harm to both their customers and society as a whole. Due to the high-profit margins from selling drugs, drug dealers can afford to extend high-risk credit to their buyers and offer deep discounts to those who cannot afford to pay the full price, which makes it difficult to break addictions.

So Asians (a race) are not systematically discriminated against in college admissions?


Yes, they are and so are White people.  Education plays a major roll in systemic racism.  Black and Hispanic young adults go to college at a much lower rate than Whites and Asians, accepting more Black and Hispanic students has a long term affect on systemic racism.  Someone with a college education is less likely to live in poverty, commit crime, etc.  And the same goes for their children, grandchildren etc.

You asked me a direct question and I answered it.  Will you answer mine please?

Why do you think there's such a disparity between black and white people with regards to poverty, health and crime?

Anyone that thinks life is fair or can be made fair is a fucking idiot. Now let's start figuring out how to fix the systematic racism against asians at places like Harvard and Yale. Want a hint? It's not by rioting and violence.



life is not fair, and it is not even supposed to be fair.
if you think that egalitarianism is gods goal you are wrong, its not even good and it wont even last.

good and evil are idiotic comparisions.

This twitter thread is gold if you take a look at the exchange: https://twitter.com/jk3rd_/status/1274575912202317824

One of the former police officers involved in George Floyd's death was grocery shopping after he was released on bail until he got confronted by some deranged white lady who confronted him and started berating the guy while he just stood there. The former officer, J Alexander Kueng, told the lady he was buying necessaries as he holds Oreo cookies and milk in his hands lmfao.

The guy in the video conducted himself pretty well, good on him. He was a rookie on the job and his charges won't hold up. Apparently people are mad that people they don't like made bail because apparently certain rights and civil liberties can only apply to some, and not all.

There is a major difference between tearing down a statue of someone who is currently imposing tyranny (or was just forcibly stopped from continuing doing so) upon a group of people, and a statute of a historical figure. The former is a sign that the tyrant's reign has stopped, and the former is destroying history. I actually suspect the intention of tearing down historical statues is going to lead to eventually (not long from now) rewriting history.
There's no major difference between tyranny and slavery, both are cruel and oppressive.

Most of the confederate monuments were erected after the civil war and the end of slavery - evidence that although slavery was technically over, white supremacy was still the norm.  Idolizing White Supremacists encourages White Supremacy.  America has been slowly but surely moving away from the idea of White Supremacy and removing all the monuments of people who fought to keep the idea alive is evidence of that.  History is being written, not rewritten.

I def feel for that guy.  I think he was a cop for all of two weeks - obviously he was in no position to tell the guy training him how to do his job.  The way he responded makes me think he had the potential to be a decent cop.  That lady recording is an absolute cunt.

Destruction of publicly owned monuments is a felony, and those who did these actions are criminals.

I'm sure you'd agree we should prosecute, convict, and jail them, for 10-20 years. I'd be good with letting a couple off who admitted and provided proof of their chain of command. Kind of doubt it would lead to American Patriots.

All of this is some great inflation of events to puff up your own egos, and a desperate attempt to give your meaningless lives purpose by trying to convince yourselves the LAARPing you are doing is real. You are tools, and history knows you as "useful idiots".

These monuments were there to remember history, not to idolize it. Those that do not learn history are doomed to repeat it, and that is the point. Before history can be repeated, you must first erase it so that people can forget, so the old playbooks can be dug up and used again.

You aren't fighting for equality, freedom, or justice. You are fighting for slavery, racism, squalor, and pain. Unfortunately by the time you figure that out it will be far too late. Even more unfortunate, you are going to impose this upon other people who had nothing to do with your delusions.

I am not confusing anything. They already have the books covered, along with the modern equivalent the internet. In addition to erasing history, this is also about creating fear and intimidation among the general population. It is a message, "See what we can do? Resist us and we are coming for you next." This is terrorist activity.

  It's really getting funny how hypocritical the left is... point the finger... point the finger, and everyone looks over there. They pay no attention to what you are doing, just what you point at.
   Implicit racism, institutional racism, systemic racism, this racism, that racism..... they come out with a new type of racism whenever they run out of the last one.

  They keep talking in a circle, but always hit on one point....... poverty.   Now, in the Democrats eyes (yes, this is all political now), the poverty is caused by racism. (Look over there). Whatever type of racism they attribute it to is always disproved, so they'll create a new type of racism next election cycle.  But the poverty is actually caused by Liberal Democrat policies, in Democrat controlled cities, in Democrat controlled states.
    They'll show you propaganda films of black kids being unable to succeed because they couldn't go to a good rich school 2 blocks away because of imaginary lines. But when they'll leave out the part of school funding, and increased funding to poorer schools had ZERO effect. It's proven that throwing money at poverty doesnt work, it just creates dependency, and that's what the Democrats want.
    We see higher crime rates among the poor in every race. The black community fears racism, and when you can control someone's fear, you control them.  Just like their Democratic President LBJ said, they'll keep them voting Democrat for 200 years. The poor communities are being kept poor intentionally. The Democrats give the poor free money, free housing, free food. The poor have literally zero incentive to work, better their lives, or leave their free accommodations. And thats how the Democrats want it.
   And what' the next best voter base they can manipulate?  The young and naive. Shove propaganda down the throats of the young naive kids with feelings via Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and you can make someone born less than two decades ago think they are guilty for something that happened two centuries ago.

  Some of us have been on this earth long enough to see this happen EVERY election cycle. Theres a routine. Theres a pattern.

   But do not fret.... there is a cure for racism. And the Democrats have already found it. It's OPEN BORDERS.  They've already done studies on the Latino vs Black birth rates in the US. The black birth relate is dropping, and the Latino birth rate is rising. Open borders can expedite their plan, and once they feel they can manipulate the larger Latino vote, you will see the switch happen. All of a sudden, you'll see the political battle cry switch from black racism to Latino something. Racism will have been cured.

   Have you not noticed already, the change in the narrative from the last election cycle?   4 years ago, it was just RACISM, RACISM.   That didnt work, so now they want to scream it louder, come up with systemic racism, oh, and this time lets throw in some white supremacy to top it off.   Yes, one talking head in this thread actually called Candice Owes a white supremacist.  

On topic..... George Floyd was a career criminal with a much higher probability of dying while committing crime, than a non-criminal.  
Where was racism disproved? Are you saying that slavery and jim crow were not based on race?  I honestly do not understand what you mean.

Reading comprehension junior.    You missed about 98% of logical reasoning in my post, and got confused on the other 2%.
   I understand you probably haven't been alive long enough to observe the changes, so I'll spell it out for you again.
   The liberals keep changing the definition of racism, defining it, and theorizing different types of racism. They are manufacturing new types of racism to appeal to your feeling, and it's based on weak "facts" and shaky theories.
   There's a new Democrat talking point every 4 years and the naive do nothing but parrot the buzz words.
The new one for this election cycle to make the rounds is "systemic" racism. And when you watch the propaganda films and facts they use to substantiate their systemic racism, they leave out conflicting facts that easily question the theory as being solid.


   Want to see how bad you are being manipulated?

Go to google, and type in "Is ______ racist"

Fill in the blank with whatever comes to mind. Anything. And look at the results.
A few things that google told me were racist:  masturbation, air, water, dogs, knitting, hair, anal sex, cars....

Seems like he had a drug problem from 1996-2007.  Got like 3 years for a 4 separate possession of <1g of cocaine charges, a few petty thefts that got him a few weeks, and then in 2007 armed robbery got him 5 years.

He got out in 2011 and had been holding down a steady job for a while until he was laid off in early spring.  My guess is he relapsed.

Floyd was unlawfully killed while being arrested. I've never contested that.
But if you look at my comment which you quoted, I said Floyd was a criminal.
What are the odds of a criminal being killed by police vs a non-criminal...... and how do you think those odds exponentially increase with the longer you engage in criminal activity?  I think Floyd demonstrated two decades of criminal behavior, maybe 10 arrests.  Wouldn't he be 10x more likely to have a bad police interaction as someone who only got arrested once?

My point is I think you should read the criminal complaint I linked.  It doesn't make the picture perfectly clear, but he was described as calm and polite after being handcuffed.  Then when they went to put him in the car he explicitly said he wasn't resisting, he was claustrophobic, and he couldn't breath - then he stiffened up and just went down.  The rest is clear from the video.

Pretty sure the last crime he was arrested for happened in 2007.  He'd been out of prison for almost 10 years at the time of his death and steadily employed until he was laid off due to the pandemic a couple weeks earlier.  All signs point to him being a recovering drug addict that relapsed after he lost his job.  


From aged 22-33 he had 9 arrests. (1996-2007)

4 of them for possession or intent to deliver less than 1 gram of cocaine - Sentenced to 36 months in total for them

2 for theft of less than $500
1 for trespassing
1 for failure to identify himself to the police - He got 10 days to a few weeks for each of those.

1 for Robbery with a deadly weapon.  He dressed up like a plumber or something and robbed a woman in her home with some other guys in 2007.  Sentenced to 5 years, paroled out in 2011.

Interesting article that I read examining the incident a bit more closely - https://medium.com/@gavrilodavid/why-derek-chauvin-may-get-off-his-murder-charge-2e2ad8d0911

TL;DR - Floyd was resisting and refusing to get in the police car probably because he was in an excited delirious state (ExDS), not because he was claustrophobic. There were a range of drugs in his system, including a deadly dose of fentanyl (11 ng/mL with average concentration being 10 ng/mL in an overdose). This explains why Floyd was acting so erratic and also why Derek Chauvin, a 19 year vet of the police department with military training and 4 years of military experience would seemingly do something stupid enough to have Floyd in a neck restraint for so long. Apparently it tends to be department policy to have anyone in a delirious state under full restraint until paramedics arrive on scene until they can inject the patient with loads of ketamine to calm them down.

The article also explores a few instances where people experiencing ExDS tend to die regardless of the restraint they're put in due to drugs and underlying conditions playing a role. The prosecution might try to argue that ExDS isn't a recognized condition by the American Medical Association but being in a delirious tends to have the same sorts of physical signs (agitation, aggression, reduced pain sensitivity, ect.)

Is there any footage out there from when he is removed from the car to when he ends up face down on the ground?  I have only seen the cop struggling to get him out and then the 8 or 9 minutes of him on the ground.

The medium article you cited is short on citations, however, this is one very good example as to why rash decisions or actions are wrong before all the facts are available. It is also why the mayors and governors allowing the lawlessness to continue should be condemned in the strongest way possible.

I would be willing to bet the officers will be found not guilty because of who is prosecuting the case, Keith Ellison. This is someone who allegedly beat his girlfriend, and there is evidence to support this. I also believe him to be corrupt, and would not be surprised if he threw the case for political benefit.

If Floyd has > the OD dose of multiple drugs when he died, I would have serious doubt as to how much Chauvin's actions contributed to Floyd's death. I also have concerns about overcharging the officers, for political purposes.

...

Look at the dates of the complaints. These were written by the DA's office after all the civil unrest. They very well could have merit, but keep in mind the charges that were levied against the 3 other officers who didn't place Floyd under neck restraint were completely baseless and were solely done to satisfy the mob/protesters. The charges were done for political reasons and I don't think anyone should be inclined to believe the latter reports have more merit than the previous reports. The fact is, we don't have the body cam footage which would provide a lot more context to the entire situation.

With the case in Atlanta with Rayshard Brooks, full bodycam videos were released immediately after the shooting. I have a feeling the bodycam video isn't being released because it will help out the defense because it will show George Floyd resisting.

If Floyd has > the OD dose of multiple drugs when he died, I would have serious doubt as to how much Chauvin's actions contributed to Floyd's death. I also have concerns about overcharging the officers, for political purposes.

Here's the autopsy report - https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_Floyd.pdf

Notable traces of drugs from the toxicology report are Fentanyl 11 ng/mL and Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL. This is more than enough drugs to be in a delirious state.

If Chauvin gets off, I don't think it'll be because of the prosecutor's record. I don't think the defense will invoke Ellison's domestic abuse past with all the other evidence that's available. Regardless if he gets off or not, I thought this was a clear cut case of murder when I watched the video. Now it seems more like poor department policy and potential negligence than anything else.

Still not sure what the charging document has to do with Floyd being a longtime criminal.
But sure..if you want to bring up apples in and oranges argument, go for it.  

I still stand by my statement, that a decades long criminal arrested 10x has a 10x greater chance of finding a bad cop than a criminal who has only been arrested once.


And if you want to talk about excited delirium, and positional asphyxiation, I'm sure I mentions both of those really early in this thread. (Page 6 was my first mention of it)

Fentanyl 11 ng/mL - clearly in a safe range (https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-profiles/fentanyl_en)
Where does it say 11 ng/mL is safe? Article states "Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved." unless you're talking about something else.

Where does it say 11 ng/mL is safe? Article states "Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved." unless you're talking about something else.

It also says 10-20 ng/mL is the suggested range for anaesthesia.

"Poly-substance use" in this case most likely means adding fentanyl to other nervous system depressants, of which meth is not one. Here's a more specific study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3576505/) that determined the mean concentration of fentanyl in multi-drug overdose deaths was 26.4 ng/ml.

Quote
Among the 36 natural deaths the following co-administered drugs were identified: antidepressants (11), oxycodone (9), benzodiazepines (7), morphine/codeine (5), and hydrocodone (4).

This study offers a different perspective.

https://ndews.umd.edu/sites/ndews.umd.edu/files/ndews-hotspot-unintentional-fentanyl-overdoses-in-new-hampshire-final-09-11-17.pdf

Quote
Despite the ubiquitous presence of multiple drugs in these decedents, the effects of fentanyl
were evidently so strong that there were no statistical differences in the fentanyl level (mean
and standard deviation) with or without the presence of these co-intoxicants. The range of
fentanyl levels was wide, from 0.75 to 113.00 ng/mL, with an average of 9.96 ng/mL.

Nevertheless, the mean and range of fentanyl levels when fentanyl was the only drug found in
toxicology were statistically the same as the mean and range for the cases where fentanyl was
only one of several synergistic co-intoxicants. This suggests that fentanyl presence alone seems
to be sufficient to cause death.

You do not necessarily need a concoction of other drugs for fentanyl to be dangerous. Regardless, I'm not saying that George Floyd died of a drug overdose because both autopsy reports ruled the death a homicide. However, it did play a factor in his death. This is what the first autopsy report plainly stated. It isn't my medical take.

It's not a "different perspective" -- its just a broader range of data. It also includes a large number of people who tested positive for alcohol (32%) which could very well be weighing down the average concentration of fentanyl in those who died, as that is often a lethal combination of drugs. The study I quoted is more relevant as it doesn't include those with alcohol in their systems.

Actually the first autopsy report doesn't state that at all. The title is "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION." You can argue that fentanyl played a role in his death, but you're on your own here. So actually it is your "medical take."

Was an autopsy done? You can get two or more coroners or doctors to disagree on cause of death, sometimes even with an autopsy.

The point is, all these Covid deaths aren't really known to be Covid deaths.

Still not sure how Floyd being a longtime criminal justifies the clearly excessive use of force that led to his death. You're saying that not only was Floyd's previous crimes (or current one of passing a fake $20) grounds for the death penalty but the cop had the right to act as executioner? If not, what are you saying exactly? Think about it.

And if you want to talk about excited delirium, and positional asphyxiation, I'm sure I mentions both of those really early in this thread. (Page 6 was my first mention of it)

Okay and seeing as how you are not a medical examiner you aren't a credible source when it comes to speculating upon his cause of death.

1. Nope.  Never said that. I guess English wasn't a good subject for you.  Try reading the WORDS again.  I said a criminal with 10 arrests is 10x more likely to encounter a bad cop than a criminal who was arrested once.
  I've never justified the unlawful death of Floyd.  But you seem blind to basic facts, so wrongfully opine away fella.  

2. I have 2 decades of training, education, and experience with excited delirium and positional asphyxiation. No one here has ever heard those words before this Floyd case. I knew it the first time I saw the video. Been there, done that. And, I'll go so far as to say, Chauvin wasn't the primary cause for positional asphyxiation, he's secondary. The primary cause will be the cop that was on Floyd's back, preventing the rise and fall of Floyd's chest cavity.    You can offer dissenting opinion now, or put this in your back pocket and get back to me after trial.


And, I'll be so bold as to add..... go ahead and protest Minneapolis Police policy all you want. Those idiots still had the choke hold as an approved Use of Force technique.  Most every other department in the US removed that policy decades ago for the exact reason of this entire subject.

You can be charged for just about anything. Doesn't mean the charges will stick. This was clear from the charges against officer Garret Rolfe from the Atlanta police department who got 11 charges for a justified shooting.  It'll be on a jury to determine whether Chauvin acted within guidelines.

Rather than drag on the quote boxes:

Nutildah: I bring it up, because it's factual information.   The more crime you commit, the more you get arrested, the greater the chance you have of finding that bad cop. It's Russian roulette. You pull the trigger enough times, you're likely to find a bullet.  This bullet's name was Chauvin.

Spendulus:  the technique used to have two branches. A choke hold, and a sleeper hold. One was permitted to be used in deadly force situations, one was permitted to be used in only non-deadly force situations. Other departments in the US discontinued the use of both, because an inch or two difference in application can move the applied pressure from the artery to the windpipe, and there were too many unintentional deaths.
   A cop can be criminally charged when the approved policy is used when not warranted. I have a policy that says I can shoot someone who shoots at me.  Me shooting someone is authorized under some conditions. Me shooting someone who does not present a deadly threat is a policy and law violation.  This is what Chauvin (and the other guy on Floyd's back) did. They used approved force techniques when the prerequisite conditions were not present.

It's not a "different perspective" -- its just a broader range of data.

You are disagreeing here just to disagree and you're playing a game of semantics. Your first link suggested a safe range for anesthesia was 10-20 ng/mL which is a formal medical procedure that will result in death unless supervised by a physician so I'm not sure why you felt inclined to post that number. Your second study stated the average concentration of fentanyl used in natural and overdose deaths. The study I linked demonstrated fentanyl is dangerous alone at a much lower concentration. So yes, a different perspective, a different set of data, a different concentraiton considered safe, whatever you want to call it.

its just a broader range of data. It also includes a large number of people who tested positive for alcohol (32%) which could very well be weighing down the average concentration of fentanyl in those who died, as that is often a lethal combination of drugs. The study I quoted is more relevant as it doesn't include those with alcohol in their systems.

I disagree here, your study is not more relevant at all because George Floyd's other substances included only small amounts of methamphetamine in his system. Furthermore, your study was maybe the second Google search result after you type in words related to fentanyl dosages in overdoses because I saw the same exact study on Google search results prior to you linking it. Your study examines accidental overdoses. An accidental overdose is of course going to have an inflated concentration of fentantyl where someone over consumes drugs and dies. This does not mean any concentration below this number is safe. The alcohol in the study I provided is a confounding variable which are present in all forms of studies, including yours. Your study doesn't mention alcohol, but could have a range of other confounding variables that weren't examined by the authors., Regardless though, 68% of the individuals tested presumably did not have alcohol in their system. You can gather from this that it is utterly untrue to claim 10 or 11 ng/mL of fentanyl is considered safe.

Interestingly enough, your study examines natural deaths and 1/6th of natural deaths in those that tested positive for fentanyl, the cause of death is listed as  Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). George Floyd's cause of death in the autopsy report also has natural causes listed as Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This might suggest that fentanyl can exacerbate this condition and potentially highlights the role drugs played in George Floyd's death.

Actually the first autopsy report doesn't state that at all. The title is "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION." You can argue that fentanyl played a role in his death, but you're on your own here. So actually it is your "medical take."

I was wrong here. You're right, the first autopsy report only lists the toxicology results without making any remarks as to whether they contributed to his death.

The charging document however lists fentanyl intoxication and methamphatemine usage as a significant condition - https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MNHENNE/2020/06/01/file_attachments/1464238/2020-3700%20Floyd,%20George%20Perry%20Update%206.1.2020.pdf

Also, it'd be hard to find a medical professional that states being on fentanyl does not at all exacerbate heart conditions or make you more susceptible to death under extreme physical restraint. So I guess my "medical take" might not be too far off.

If Chauvin gets off, I don't think it'll be because of the prosecutor's record. I don't think the defense will invoke Ellison's domestic abuse past with all the other evidence that's available. Regardless if he gets off or not, I thought this was a clear cut case of murder when I watched the video. Now it seems more like poor department policy and potential negligence than anything else.
I don’t think it would be appropriate for a judge to allow the defense to bring up personal shortcomings of the prosecutor in a criminal case.

The reason for my prediction is that I believe the DA will intentionally throw the case to push a political narrative that benefits his party. This would also likely create additional riots. Ideally this won’t happen until after the election and Trump will be more willing to institute a zero tolerance policy on rioting.


Trump recently said (https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/20/exclusive-trump-isnt-sending-national-guard-seattle-catastrophe/) that he decided against sending in the troops to allow Americans to see how badly liberals are running their cities. I strongly disagree with this (this is partly based on my living in a major liberal city), as it is the presidents job to protect all Americans.

These transcripts from the body cams were just released. As you can tell from the text, it is abundantly clear George Floyd was having trouble breathing well before he was even on the ground. The autopsy results showed several types of contraband in his system, along with a COVID diagnosis. This seems to be clear evidence whatever disease he was suffering, it began well before he was even on the ground.

1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. Emptying of churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family
12. Attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
13. Abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
14. Abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces
14. Declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors’



The people would rather play with their social devices and watch movies than learn the law and use the options available for them.

I'm not sure why they aren't releasing the full bodycam footage to the public. There's definitely a precedent of releasing body cam video prior to a trial so for them to release a transcript and not the video seems bizarre.

I can't remember where I read this, but according to one of the documents that was released either by the DA's officer or Minneapolis PD, it stated that Floyd was claiming he couldn't breathe prior to being forced on the ground and this transcript clearly confirms that. The disease Floyd was suffering from, potentially, was ExDS, an excited delirious state which is usually caused by illegal drug use.

From the autopsy report, it's clear Floyd had unsafe amounts of fentanyl and small amounts of methamphetamine within his system and this is what most likely the officers believed Floyd was suffering from.

Yep. Which is why they should have been more careful with him and didn't need to kneel on him for so long. Killing a weakened person is still murder.

The point is, "innocent until proven guilty." Even if a person admits guilt straight forward to the cops, he is still innocent in the eyes of the law until he gets his time in court... and is adjudicated guilty. But if he is guilty in court, punish him as he deserves.

Same with the cops. Innocent until proven guilt in a court of law. They might admit being guilty, there might be all kinds of videos and audio recordings. There might be dozens of witnesses who will swear to what they saw. But until the court says "guilty," they are innocent. Treat them that way, even though they didn't treat Floyd that way.

What's important is, if the judge messes with us all by freeing some guilty cops, we need to take the judge to trial.

You start with the presumption they killed him, and work backwards to justify your position. This is known as confirmation bias and has no basis in logic. Evidence comes out that is counter to your beliefs, and then you simply turn it around and act as if it is further confirmation of your stance. The transcripts clearly demonstrate he was a known violent felon acting erratically and resisting arrest. Later it was proven he was also intoxicated with drugs that could have easily killed him alone. Ruining these men's lives over a violent felon drug addict who was resisting arrest on the minuscule chance they maybe might have potentially contributed to his death is asinine. Lets go down a list of all the things George Floyd did to contribute to his own death.

-A convicted violent felon
-Substance abuse with drugs causing epidemic levels of fatal overdoses
-Resisting arrest
-Not complying with police orders

It amazes me with all the wrongful deaths police are ACTUALLY fully responsible for, no one seems to give a fuck about any of those cases, especially if the victims are not black. Instead, the cases that are brought out with the loudest voices are the ones where career criminals, drug addicts, and otherwise generally violent people get themselves killed. Of course this racial bias narrative serves Marxist ticks such as yourself, so the facts are irrelevant.

I read that Floyd was a criminal and had served time for various crimes, but was almost always released early. A lot of people think he cooperated with the police so his time was shorter than expected. Also, some people think that this murder is a lie.

'Murder' means different things in different jurisdictions. The word just refers to someone dying as a result of something that you did.

In Georgia, for example, if you're the getaway driver during a bank robbery and while you're sitting in the car waiting one of your guys kills someone, you could be charged and convicted of felony murder.

These transcripts from the body cams were just released. As you can tell from the text, it is abundantly clear George Floyd was having trouble breathing well before he was even on the ground. The autopsy results showed several types of contraband in his system, along with a COVID diagnosis. This seems to be clear evidence whatever disease he was suffering, it began well before he was even on the ground.

When I watched the video several weeks ago, I saw someone (Floyd) basically begging for his life, while a police officer (Chevron) has his knee on Floyd's neck, eventually killing Floyd (even though I had no knowledge of the possibility of choking someone via pressure on the *back* of a person's neck).

The fact that Floyd was saying that he couldn't breathe before he was on the ground, the fact that Floyd has > the amount of fentanyl in his blood that is considered an "overdose", the fact that Floyd intentionally (https://www.wsj.com/articles/attorney-for-former-officer-asks-court-to-dismiss-abetting-charges-in-floyd-killing-11594227638) hit his head on the glass in the police car, all change my view on the above.

Pinning Floyd's head to the ground (via pressure on his neck) may seem excessive, Floyd also just intentionally hit his head on glass, presumably with the intention of hurting himself and to avoid going directly to jail, and he may have intentionally smashed his head against the concrete if his head was not pinned down.



There was a police-involved shooting of an armed black man in late September 2016, just before the election, and riots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Keith_Lamont_Scott#Protests_and_rioting) started not long after. At the time, there was a lot of misinformation being spread by BLM, and the victim's family, saying that the victim was unarmed, and was holding a bible (both are lies). The governor quickly sent in the national guard and stopped the riots before the weekend (they started on a Tuesday), which removed any legitimacy to any riots that may have been organized elsewhere in the country, as happened in 2020.

The similarities between what happened in 2016 and what is happening now are striking. In both cases, riots started immediately after the victim had died, before there was any kind of investigation, let alone any kind of trial to hold those responsible accountable. In both cases, there was a lot of BLM propaganda being spread on social media that was outright lies, and misleading when not an outright lie.

The key difference is the national guard was not called into Minnesota, but rather, a police station was abandoned, which made the situation worse. My guess is this was intentional.

Pinning his head to the ground can be rationally defended, it's what he did afterwards that is the problem.  For almost 7 minutes of Flloyd begging for his life followed by 3 minutes while he appeared unconscious or dead he kept his knee on his neck.

If they were alone together and struggling for a weapon a few feet away (like in the movies) or something, that would be different...but he knew Flloyd wasn't armed and he had his partner helping him with Flloyd while 2 more cops watched their back.

I think it has been intentional. The number of people that were arrested while rioting being let off basically without consequence solidifies this argument.

Also, as mentioned above, pinning Floyd to the ground, including his head was not a means to protect the officers from Floyd, it was a means to protect Floyd from himself. Keep in mind that Floyd had apparently just intentionally slammed his head against the glass in the police car, intentionally harming himself.

Yeah, I have no idea how you can read the transcript and watch the footage and conclude that Flloyd was trying to hurt himself and the cop kneeled on his neck for 10 minutes to protect him.  I haven't found anything about bashing his own head intentionally though, it's possible I'm missing something I guess.

He was having a panic attack (it's common to feel like you can't breathe when this happens), he was terrified of the cops, he made it clear he had no intention of hurting them, he asked to lay on the ground and he begged them over and over to not hurt him and then to stop hurting him.

It's trial time!

I've been following this lawyers write ups which are very informative (although biased)

https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/03/chauvin-trial-day-1-wrap-up-opening-arguments-three-state-witnesses/

Here is the full video from today's opening arguments and witness testimony of 3 witnesses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2RSdD12k8E


Trial is expected to take about 4 weeks considering there are nearly 400 witnesses.

My thoughts on the opening arguments (which are highlighted above in the link in case you don't want to watch the long video) - Lot of emotional rhetoric on the side of the prosecution and some blatant falsehoods. The point of contention in this case is really the cause of death. Whether Floyd died of asphyxia or not. The autopsy report does not show evidence asphyxia, and in fact, the original criminal complaint had openly said this - https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6933246/Derek-Chauvin-Complaint.pdf

Quote
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner (ME) conducted Mr. Floyd’s autopsy on May 26, 2020. The full
report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed
no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had
underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The
combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any
potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.

However, the prosecution stated that Floyd did die of asphyxia, therefore the burden of proof will be on them.


Moving over to the defense - Eric Nelson, the defense attorney of Chauvin, got outclassed. The delivery of the prosecution was extremely smooth and very convincing though (because let's face it, emotional rhetoric works). So all in all, I think Eric Nelson, Chauvin defense attorney, "lost" in regards to the opening arguments because Eric Nelson immediately began his opening statement on the aspect focusing on reasonable doubt. This basically gives the impression that your client is already guilty, but not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It was only 10 minutes in when Eric Nelson began talking about fentanyl and underlying conditions, but he seemed not to drill the point rather just glancing over the fact. One main rebuke that stood out to me in the opening statement (and this is a huge piece of evidence that was misrepresented by the prosecution) -- Floyd had no anatomical evidence of asphyxia, no bruising, contusions, nothing. Therefore, the prosecution in their opening statement tried to argue that because Floyd was bleeding from the nose while on the ground, that it demonstrates a large pressure of Chauvin onto Floyd causing his nose to bleed due to contact with the pavement. However, Eric Nelson dispelled this notion because Floyd banged his head against the plexiglass in the squad car while resisting arrest which caused the bloody nose. And this is evident by the blood found within the squad car. So now, the pathway to argue asphyxia due to large pressure by Chauvin's knee is a bit more limited. I don't know how many people in the jury would've picked up on this in the initial arguments because it seemed like another point that Eric Nelson brushed over (his delivery seemed a bit too fast tbh).

If I knew nothing about this case and used just the testimony from today's presentation by both the prosecution and the defense, I would undoubtedly be leaning towards a "guilty" verdict. But obviously, this is the first day.

I think the jurors will feel compelled to bring a guilty verdict, even if the prosecution doesn't present any evidence. Some probably fear for their family's safety. I don't doubt that left-wing media outlets have already doxed some of the jurors, and may have contacted them/their family for comment.

I would expect nationwide riots with a not-guilty verdict.

Eric Nelson asked all the jurors about this concern during jury selection about whether they feared for their safety and were inclined to vote one way or another. Everyone that was selected said no so I'm actually not too worried about this. But, if they get doxed and harassed/threatened I wonder what happens then? An alternate comes in?

Anyway, you have 12 jurors total and the prosecution needs 12 people all to vote guilty. That's already feels like an uphill battle because how are you gonna get 12 people to agree on this case that is so controversial with so much grey area?

I wouldn't worry about the prosecution not presenting any evidence.  Pretty sure they'll play the video of the cop kneeling on the guys neck while he begged for his life then died and then show them the autopsy reports that concluded it was a homicide.

Day two -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lydujn8BEiE

Skip to hour 6:49 if you want to watch the biggest grilling of a witness on national TV you have ever seen.


Basic summary of day two - you had the state bring witnesses to the stand that were apart of the crowd that were forming while Floyd was being restrained.

So by virtue of that fact alone, you're probably going to get biased witnesses that still have emotional trauma from what they saw, hence why they are witnesses by the state.

Problem is, quite literally none of these witnesses were objective in nature to what they observed, but added a lot of additional commentary and speculation. This really drives the point that the prosecution is going for emotional appeal because the facts are not on their side. But that's okay -- it's a legitimate strategy and it's valid because their goal at the end of the day is to land a conviction.

Where I have issue is they literally called a 9 year old witness to the stand (thank god Eric Nelson, Chauvin defense attorney, did not cross examine this witness, not like he ever would), but realistically, what valid testimony can a 9 year old give? Is it not apparent that asking a 9 year old child what she saw Mr. Chauvin do to Mr. Floyd would not be useful?

Moving on to the SPICY cross examination on the EMT (time stamp above), basically one of the members of crowd that had formed onlooking Floyd and the officers was a firefighter. So, this firefighter is called as a witness by the state and she shows up in her EMT outfit (which to me is so absurd because it makes it look like she's giving expert testimony when she is not an expert, and she is not independent). Anyway, the prosecution attempt to do exactly this and ask this EMT about EMT protocols, checking pulses, how to save someone's life and such. One point the prosecution really tried to capitalize on was the fact that this EMT attempted to approach Floyd and the officers in order to help render aid. She, by her own testimony, was yelling at the officers to check Floyd's pulse and his condition. So the burden on the defense is now two fold -- you now have to convince the jury that his person is a biased witness that is unable to give expert testimony (btw this is kinda true), and you have to refute a rather larger allusion which is that Derek Chauvin had *no* regard for Floyd's life because he didn't allow an EMT to check for Floyd's pulse and render aid.

Obviously, any reasonable person can reason their way through why it'd be a bad idea to let an non-uniformed, self proclaimed EMT, interfere with a detainment, especially if she's part of a hostile crowd. But, Eric Nelson absolutely demolished this witness and she definitely lost her cool. She also was probably lying in some of her answers too. See above, I promise it's worth it to see an ass kicking of the witness.

Finally, the most effective witness testimony of the day would be the state's witness and the prosecution questioning the witness here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMj85jIK_AM

Just my personal thoughts, I definitely feel for this person. She didn't ask to be in the situation and yes, it is traumatic to watch in person what happened to Floyd if you don't understand the procedures or the greater context. But this is effective because it draws emotions, and emotions are the way you will get a conviction. So prosecution succeeded here and this was one of the highlights of the day.

If I knew nothing about this case and used just the testimony from today's presentation by both the prosecution and the defense, I would undoubtedly be leaning towards a "guilty" verdict. But obviously, this is the first day.
I think the jurors will feel compelled to bring a guilty verdict, even if the prosecution doesn't present any evidence. Some probably fear for their family's safety. I don't doubt that left-wing media outlets have already doxed some of the jurors, and may have contacted them/their family for comment.

I would expect nationwide riots with a not-guilty verdict.

Eric Nelson asked all the jurors about this concern during jury selection about whether they feared for their safety and were inclined to vote one way or another. Everyone that was selected said no so I'm actually not too worried about this.
I am not sure if anything about the aftermath of Floyd's death will be allowed, but if so, the jurors will likely change their minds.

But, if they get doxed and harassed/threatened I wonder what happens then? An alternate comes in?
There might be alternates that are not part of the jury, but sit with the jury, and hears all the testimony and arguments. In the event that one of the jurors is dismissed, the alternate will take their place. If more jurors than alternates get dismissed, there will likely be a mistrial. I think if anyone were to contact any of the jurors, a mistrial would probably be declared.

Anyway, you have 12 jurors total and the prosecution needs 12 people all to vote guilty. That's already feels like an uphill battle because how are you gonna get 12 people to agree on this case that is so controversial with so much grey area?
You could say the same thing about an aquittial. If there is a hung jury, the prosecution would try again.

I think the jurors will feel compelled to bring a guilty verdict, even if the prosecution doesn't present any evidence.

I wouldn't worry about the prosecution not presenting any evidence.  Pretty sure they'll play the video of the cop kneeling on the guys neck while he begged for his life then died and then show them the autopsy reports that concluded it was a homicide.
Will they leave out the part about Floyd saying he can't breathe before he was on the ground? The same plea he was making while he was on the ground? Will they leave out the part about that Floyd had lethal amounts of illegal drugs in his system when he died? Will they leave out the part about how the medical examiner said that if he had not seen the video of Floyd dying, he would have thought Floyd died from a drug OD?



Problem is, quite literally none of these witnesses were objective in nature to what they observed, but added a lot of additional commentary and speculation.
This should have been objected to by the defense counsel, and not allowed to be entered into the record by the judge. If the defense counsel did not object, there may be a case for ineffective counsel if he is found guilty.

Day 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZMdt1RDGVE

More witness, of course. But the prosecution showed body camera videos from all of the officers involved and this shows that Floyd resisted arrest.

State also brought a witness that was an employee of the Cup foods grocery store where Floyd used the fake 20. In his testimony, he openly admitted that Floyd looked like he was high. They showed footage of the Cup foods store CCTV cameras and it showed Floyd was most definitely high. He was dancing, making weird body movements, and the employee said his speech was delayed.

Another witness was a bystander who was the first person to witness Floyd being taken into the patrol car. This was also the person that said Floyd would have a heart attack if he continued fighting. Surprisingly, no cross examination of this witness by the defense.

Last witness of the day was a Lt. MPD officer who basically gave testimony on the technical aspects of body cameras. He seemed to be an police IT expert.

All in all, much more boring day than yesterday, but more valuable information.

Day 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz_BwDvd6Cw

Very important day for both sides of the case, but the prosecution called some critical witnesses which helped their case out by a landslide. If you're keeping score, the prosecution definitely came on top as the winner today.

So one of the issues that I saw, and everyone else basically, was that Chauvin did not check for a pulse nor did he start chest compressions when Floyd was unresponsive. Realistically, this was about 2-3 minutes until Floyd's final movement and until the ambulance arrived. The prosecution had paramedics testify today, the same paramedics that took Floyd and put him into the ambulance.

They each testified that they arrived on scene with the officers still restraining Floyd, and that the officers didn't move until the stretcher was on the ground. One paramedic testified that the officers were of "help" to him when loading on Floyd onto the stretcher. The other paramedic was more scornful it seems like, seeming to imply that chest compressions should have started before they even arrived on scene. And hey, it is absolutely true. You don't have a pulse, you start chest compressions.

The defense angle here is that Chauvin was focused on the crowd, and because the crowd deemed itself to be a threat, that was a focus over giving medical help/chest compressions. Not the best argument (in fact, terrible), but is it perhaps reasonable? Maybe? Look back to the transcript of the body worn camera.

You hear Alexander Kueng "I don't feel a pulse." Chauvin is looking at the crowd while they're yelling, looks to Kueng and says "Huh?". Kueng does not repeat himself, and Chauvin continues looking at the crowd. So it might have been a miscommunication here which is why chest compressions were not started.

Could you say that Chauvin was negligent because he did not do chest compressions? Yes, I think you could. Is it important to consider outside factors? Sure -- you look at the fact that they called for code 3 response, which means stepping up paramedics and getting them to the scene ASAP. So medical care was inbound. You also have to take into account an aggressive crowd and what role that had in diverting any attention of the officers. The defense made the argument when questioning one of the witnesses, a former police sgt. on Chauvin's shift, that other threats/dangers have a higher priority than providing medical aid. Not the greatest argument, again, but we all knew this would be the hardest hump to get over for the defense. Another argument the defense made is that drug users who are unconscious can begin to fight with police after they regain consciousness, a question Eric Nelson asked of the police sgt. to which he confirmed.

I think the most groundbreaking thing we learned today is from Floyd's girlfriend Courtney Ross. She acted as a spark of life witness, basically speaking on their relationship. The point of a spark of life witness is to basically humanize the victim, and attach a face/personality to him. Overall, I think it was relatively successful. But uncovered in the prosecution's questioning is that both Ross and Floyd suffered from a prolonged drug addiction. The defense cross examined the witness, and it did not go well for the state.

We learned extremely important things here. One is that Morries Hall was a passenger in Floyd's vehicle at the time of the incident. He was Floyd's source for fentanyl and other drugs. Hall basically lied to the police during the time of the incident and gave police a false name because he had warrants, and we know Hall is not going to testify because he doesn't want to incriminate himself. What we also learned is that Floyd in March of 2020 was hospitalized due to a drug overdose with a hospital stay lasting at least 5 days (11 days according to Eric Nelson). To investigators, Ross told them that Floyd had a foamy white substance running from his mouth as she took him to the hospital during Floyd's drug overdose. Floyd also had a foamy white substance running from his mouth during his May 25th arrest, confirmed by multiple witnesses. This is a huge fact that no one knew prior to today, and of course, the defense capitalized. Another sort small revelation is that Floyd had his girlfriend saved under the name "Mama" in his phone. This might put into context that Floyd was saying "Mama I love you" in reference to his girlfriend, and not his actual mother. Not like that matters in the grand scheme of things though.

Lot of good things learned today.

If the procedure is to give priority to other threats, the defense argument would be that Chauvin was following procedures, and I think that is a pretty strong argument.

Also, on the day 2 video you posted, several minutes after the 6(hour):49(minute) part you mentioned, the EMT (who was off duty at the time) talked about "tunnel vision", which is something I think would favor the defense regarding why chest compressions had not started by Chauvin.

This supports the defense argument that Floyd died from a drug OD.

If the procedure is to give priority to other threats, the defense argument would be that Chauvin was following procedures, and I think that is a pretty strong argument.

See, my issue here is that Chauvin probably was thinking about this to an extent so you're not wrong, but to me it's just tough for optics that the restraint was held and chest compressions weren't started. If the argument is that the crowd was angry and that diverted Chauvin's attention, then it surely seems like the paramedics were in the same mindset because they did a load and go, meaning they did not render aid right there on scene. They drove 3 blocks.

If the situation was as dire as the paramedics testified, shouldn't they have utilized all the resources they had on the scene instead of driving away 3 blocks which took away valuable time? So there's truth to your statement, but I just don't think the average person is going to think about that, so they'll listen to the sgt. who testified the knee should've come off.

But, it's also worth noting that the prosecution is on offense here. These are the state's witnesses. The defense surely will probably have someone testify about MPD policy in regards to angry crowds.

I didn't mention this above but the paramedics also testified, basically, that the cops don't even have the most basic EMT training. So the obvious question is -- Is it reasonable to believe that Chauvin should have recognized the medical severity of the situation and started compressions? The police had already stepped up medical, keep in mind. So who knows?

Again, I just don't feel today was a great day for the defense. It's hard to justify them not starting compressions so I can't defend them there. I can only speculate why Chauvin didn't, because the argument by the prosecution is that Chauvin didn't because he's a racist murderous piece of shit clearly. I tend to doubt that.

This supports the defense argument that Floyd died from a drug OD.

I agree.

The key point to this whole exercise is that the plebs will either agree to equality of brutality without exception or zero brutality.It is not acceptable for a police officer to use this level of vindictive violence towards any person of any race,gender or creed.If I was walking past this officer at this particular time of the incident I would have challenged him but as you can see not one person did this.Plebs are too conditioned to understand they outnumber even the armies and it is their blind compliance that gives this free for all attitude among officers like Chauvin.If that was my kin underneath Chauvin's boot I can assure Mr Chauvin would have been met will righteous violence by my boots  :)

I wonder how someone under police custody could die! In this particular incident, i think the police officer was really being racist here aside from the fact that, he felt a particular anger towards the suspect, he was so focused on causing him pain to the extent that, he failed to notice how bad the suspect being restrained was hurting. He didn't feel he was bluffing, the officer knew he was in pain but, it was exactly the pain he was dishing out and was taking a great deal of pleasure dishing it.
I guess the protest which followed to a large extent would help to reduce the violence in the police department.

Short day, wrapped up by lunch time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4XNcAZaeSQ


Only had two witnesses today. MPD sgt who basically went over some administrative stuff about critical incidents (critical incident is defined as an event involving serious injury or death to an officer or suspect).

Last witness was current Lt. for the MPD. Suffice it to say, he was devastating for the defense today. Openly stated that the knee was too much force, should not have been held for as long as it did because it can kill, and that once Floyd was no longer resisting, it should have came up. Really tough for Eric Nelson to navigate out of that, and he wasn't really successful during the cross examination.

So there's truth to your statement, but I just don't think the average person is going to think about that, so they'll listen to the sgt. who testified the knee should've come off.
I didn't watch the trial live or otherwise, and I was not able to find any article talking about the ambulance driving away for 3 blocks. The articles I read say that the initial call was a "code 2" which means the ambulance did not use lights/sirens (it wasn't an "emergency"), but was later upgraded to a "code 3" which means lights/sirens were used (it was an "emergency").

Chauvin has long ago lost in the court of public opinion, and regardless of the outcome of the trial, will never work again. The same is probably true for his (ex)wife and his (ex)wife's kids. What the public thinks does not matter in a court of law. Ultimately if Chauvin was following procedures, he should be found not guilty under the eyes of the law.

Last witness was current Lt. for the MPD. Suffice it to say, he was devastating for the defense today.

Really tough for Eric Nelson to navigate out of that, and he wasn't really successful during the cross examination.
Again, this really comes down to procedures. A Lutentiant for the PD is not going to have the medical expertise to know that putting a knee on a suspect's neck is "too much" or that it "can kill", and this should not have been allowed by the judge. The fact that this was allowed into testimony is probably grounds for a successful appeal by Chauvin for either ineffective counsel, or the judge allowing prejudiced testimony from an unqualified witness.

Even if the use of force was "too much", it boils down to if the excessive use of force was a contributing factor in Floyd's death.

I don't think any reasonable adult needs any medical expertise to know that kneeling on someone's neck for more than a few minute or two could kill someone.  Especially if that person is screaming 'i can't breath, i'm going to die'.

Day 6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyARhyjnNTM

I only watched the Dr.'s testimony because quite frankly, the Chief of police's testimony was worthless. Chief of police is a politician at that point, so there wasn't anything he said that was too much of value (that hadn't already been mentioned before).

But some important highlights from Dr. Langenfeld.

He originally speculated hypoxia which caused cardiac arrest. And hypoxia is often a result of asphyxiation. So it seems reasonable that asphyxia is what he was thinking of when Floyd came into the ER, and of course, the media latch onto this without listening to anything else he said. Sigh.

But, on the cross examination by Nelson, it was made clear that Dr. Langenfeld did not have any info on Floyd's drug ingestion. And how could he? The police never told the paramedics about drugs, paramedics never told the doc, so this had to have an effect on what his initial diagnosis was. And Dr. Langenfeld admitted that fentanyl would have an effect on breathing. It is used in the anesthesia after all.

Side note, Eric Nelson also showed some BWC and when EMS arrived on scene, it showed Chauvin's knee clearly on the upper back of Floyd, and not on the neck. He did a side-by-side comparison of the bystander footage, and the BWC that were time synced and it shows that the bystander video is a bit misleading and shows Chauvin's knee on the back of the neck, while the BWC angle shows his knee lower than that.

But, I have not closely look at the BWC enough to see if that was the case for the entire 9+ minutes. I doubt Chauvin's knee was even in angle for that entire period of time.

You're not really trying to view things from the eyes of the jurors, are you. I highly doubt they are going to find testimony from the chief of police to be "worthless." Call me crazy but it seems to me like he might know a thing or two about what is and isn't approved by the department. You can conjecture that he is acting out of this or that interest, but you don't actually know.

It just seems like you are framing ongoing events to fit conclusions you made months ago.


There's two POV's, mine and the jurors. So you ask me about the jurors, his testimony matters. But I'm waiting on some of the trainers at the MPD police academy to discuss the maximal restraint technique, the police chief hasn't been a patrol guy for years. This is the state's witness after all. And would you agree these trainers would be more valuable than the police chief? Chief serves a more administrative role.

Day 7 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2BljSyylIQ

Worth watching some of the highlights tbh. Maybe just skip through.

Defense is making a good case for reasonable doubt, but what I focused on today is Morries Hall. So Hall is Floyd's alleged fentanyl dealer. Guy that allegedly dumped a backpack from the car after Floyd was arrested, allegedly dumped something down a sewer drain as well, gave a fake name to police, and fled to Texas after Floyd had died -- all around swell guy really.

Well, they had a hearing about Hall invoking his 5th amendment right to avoid self incrimination. Basically, the defense would love Hall to testify because he could state that Floyd had ingested drugs prior to police approaching the side of his car. After all, semi-chewed pills were found in the police car with Floyd's DNA on them. So where did these semi-chewed pills come from? Why were they half chewed? One can only guess he swallowed them when he knew he got caught, but I guess only Hall can really say.

And IF it turns out the drugs killed Floyd, guess who catches the 3rd degree murder charge?


Title: Re: Riots after Death of Man in Minneapolis Police Custody
Post by: Gyfts on April 07, 2021, 04:24:08 AM
No, I would not agree with that. The police chief should know more about policy (an administrative duty) than the trainers themselves. Police chief saying Chauvin was not trained to do what he did is pretty damning to people not already biased a million ways from Sunday.

I disagree with this. The police chief is just a figure head, he isn't in the academy training anyone. It's like talking to a restaurant owner and asking him how to cook a steak. You'd ask the chef, not the owner. And let's not forget he was appointed by Jacob Frey 3 years ago and would probably be canned immediately if he served any use to the defense, but that's just speculation which I openly will admit.

It seems like the defense was more intent on arguing Chauvin was trained to do what he did, which is implicit acknowledgement that his actions caused Floyd's death in the first place. To lose that angle in front of the jurors and then move on to the drugs thing seems disingenuous, but when has that mattered.

It's because he was trained to do this, to some extent. The 3 minutes when Floyd went unresponsive is questionable. And I saw the Lt. testify today which you quoted above. Did you see the cross examination? It was damning.

Here's the transcript - https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/shared/OPG07O1TTJMVnDDr2nrBbga9WYtk87t-Rw11NfbIYNGFZVbn_hrAUh3ZKGULZAjdalEIYZSGZ6Uvqop1DUVEBacYeXk?

@5:17, the Lt. openly admits the knee is not on the back of the neck, but rather the shoulder blade. And that is completely allowed by MPD policy according to the Lt. to gain control.

And @7:38, the knee is still on the shoulder blades in another photo that was time stamped a couple minutes after the first picture. And yesterday, there was a side by side bystander video/BWC exhibit shown which showed that the bystander video angle looked as if the knee was on the back of the neck. The BWC was played simultaneously which showed his knee on the shoulder blade.

Also confirmed @9:47.

Lt. also confirms that you can use bodyweight to hold someone down until EMS arrive @13:56.

Further down Eric Nelson talks about considering the totality of the circumstances and their decision to hold someone down. So to render Floyd aid, Chauvin was thinking about the crowd, was thinking about how much Floyd fought with police prior (which is something that they're trained on), was thinking he was on drugs and could regain consciousness and begin fighting again, was thinking that he had to remove the cuffs as well. Remember from the body cam video -- Chauvin had told one of the officers to hop in the EMS car and strap Floyd in.

But set that aside. Looking at the knee. There are two questions. Where was it placed, and what was the pressure that Chuavin used. We know the knee was on Floyd's neck or at the very least, was not on Floyd's neck for a 2-3 minutes confirmed by the still photos, and we don't have evidence that the neck was being drilled down by Chauvin and all of his 140 pounds onto 230 lbs, 6'3 George Floyd.

This Lt., in contrast with all the other witnesses, had to concede that the neck restraint used was justified and permitted, but the disagreement is about *how long* the knee was used. And if we're considering the totality of the circumstances and *not* using 20/20 hindsight bias, was it reasonable for Chauvin to believe that shoulder restraint was needed given that the crowd was hostile, the cuffs would need to be removed in order to do CPR, Floyd regained consciousness and could begin fighting again, Floyd was extremely agitated, kicking his legs, just prior to being restrained...I'm inclined to believe "probably". I wasn't in their shoes so it's hard to know for sure. I get the luxury of using hindsight bias, they don't have that luxury. And Nelson makes this exact point too.

And just a quick point on the homicide aspect of this. Homicide is not murder. If Floyd died because of the stress of the situation on his heart, something that would not normally kill but for drugs in his system, that isn't the officer's fault. Homicide here means but for the actions of the officers, Floyd would be alive. Meaning had not police been called to the scene, Floyd's heart rate would not have skyrocketed, therefore he would not have died. That's all homicide means. That doesn't mean drugs were not the main contributing factor of death, or the deciding factor of death.

This is a very major point. The video that went viral last summer appeared to show Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck the entire time. I think it is a scandal that photos of Chauvin's knee on Floyd's shoulder and/or back are just coming out now. The defense should make a point to determine just how long Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck.

And just a quick point on the homicide aspect of this. Homicide is not murder. If Floyd died because of the stress of the situation on his heart, something that would not normally kill but for drugs in his system, that isn't the officer's fault.

Chauvin is charged with three crimes, 2nd-degree unintentional murder, 3rd-degree murder, and 2nd-degree manslaughter.

The 2nd-degree murder statute (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.19) says in essence that Chauvin was committing a felony, did something that killed Floyd involving force or violence, and did not intend to kill Floyd. IMO, this is a stretch, even in the most favorable light for the prosecution and the prosecution will have to prove both that Chauvin's actions caused Floyd's death, and that Chauvin committed a second felony while doing so.

The 3rd-degree murder statute (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.195) says that Chauvin did something dangerous without considering Floyd's life that killed Floyd. I would say there might be probable cause for this charge. The knee on Floyd's neck is reasonably dangerous, but the legality of this would be a point of contention. Also, if Chauvin's actions actually killed Floyd is another point of contention.

The 2nd-degree manslaughter statute (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.205) says that Chauvin was neglect in creating an unreasonable risk to Floyd's life and took the chance of causing Floyd's death and that Chauvin caused Floyd's death. This is a very similar standard to the 3rd-degree murder charge, and the Jury will likely return the same verdict on both counts.

Chauvin Trial Day 8 Wrap-Up: “I Ate Too Many Drugs” Video May Be Game-Changer
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/chauvin-trial-day-8-wrap-up-i-ate-too-many-drugs-video-may-be-game-changer/

I'm listening to Dr. Tobin's testimony and he describes positional asphyxia.

My follow up questions.

Did fentanyl and methamphetamine along with underlying conditions play any role in Floyd's death? Tobin seemed to suggest no (might've outright said no, can't remember).

Does fentanyl result in less respiration/breaths per minute? If so, would that mean Floyd should've had a higher respiration rate than 17-22 breathes per minute *given* that Floyd had a high heart rate, was fighting with police, and presumably would need more air than a resting individual.

His testimony is very very convincing, but there are a couple issues I have with it. It seems to minimize underlying conditions/drugs which contradicts the autopsy report, and it also speculates that Chauvin used 90 pounds and exerted it onto Floyd's neck. Dr. Tobin openly admits he used a still picture to arrive at this figure. Obviously I don't need to explain why this has all sorts of issues.

But all in all, great day for prosecution.

The defense should have objected to this answer. The same is true for any conclusions Dr. Tobin made. I expect Chauvin to mount a defense that includes their own expert witnesses.

I don't think it's a valid objection though. He created a diagram and it's just his opinion, so he's open to speculate on how much weight Chauvin had on his neck. And by Dr. Tobin's account, he's taking a scientific, mathematical, and methodical approach. So there's nothing to object, he's speaking within his expertise.

But clearly, Eric Nelson pointed out that there was some levels of assumption in Dr. Tobin's analysis in assuming the weights of Chauvin and his gear. I'm surprised Nelson didn't point out his calculation was speculating where Chauvin's center of gravity was and that the center of gravity was maintained for 6 minutes+ killing Floyd, but it's not like Dr. Tobin wouldn't be reluctant to say "Yes, I used shoddy bystander footage to determine Chauvin's center of gravity in order to conclude 90 pounds of pressure".

Of course Chauvin will produce his own laundry list of experts that will contradict what Dr. Tobin says, because there are two sides to every story, but I think Dr. Tobin makes extremely compelling arguments and I feel inclined to take his word for what he says. Do I have "reasonable doubt" as to whether Chauvin asphyxiated Floyd, yes. If the autopsy report conducted by Dr. Baker found evidence of an obstructed airway and evidence of asphyxia, then I would undoubtedly take Dr. Tobin's word as undisputed. But, there is some conflicting evidence.

And did anyone catch the part where Eric Nelson mentioned that the high effect, or the maximum effect (forgot what Nelson called it) of fentanyl is about 5 minutes after consumption? Dr. Tobin agreed with this. We know Floyd ingested fentanyl/meth pills when police approached him in the car...the timing seems to match almost perfectly where Floyd begins to freak out with respect to when he took the fentanyl pills. It's about 5 minutes later.

What I don't understand is how either of you can believe you actually possess more knowledge about this issue than the experts and attorneys in the courtroom. The normalization of the questioning of experts when people don't like what they have to say will be one of Trump's longest lasting legacies.

Which issue? The objection to relevance or the 90 pounds of pressure?

Explain what the issue is. Explain why you have a better guess as to what the pressure exerted was than a licensed intensive care physician who is providing testimony under oath in the most highly publicized trial of the year.

I am using his own words where he says he made certain assumptions about how much Chauvin weighed, how much the gear he had on weighed, and his acknowledgement that the weight of Chauvin shifted constantly. And I already explained what the issue was. He calculated 90 pounds of pressure using a still picture from bystander video. Dr. Tobin didn't go into detail how he was able to precisely calculate 90 pounds because neither the prosecution nor the defense asked about it. And we know from earlier this week, there are portions of the BWC that *clearly* show Chauvin's knee on Floyd's upper back while the bystander video *clearly* shows the knee/shin area on the neck. So the angle is already a bit off when using the BWC.

I never said I had a better guess. Doesn't mean I can't ask questions.

Maybe they didn't ask about it because they agreed with his assessment, or else felt it wasn't worth disagreeing with? The defense did bring up the fact that the calculation was theoretical. But they didn't disagree with it like you are.

Eric Nelson didn't bring it up directly. He tried to cast doubt by getting Dr. Tobin to admit that there were some assumptions made about his calculations. Nelson was pretty unprepared today, he admitted that he got all of this information last night.

Did you miss the part when the doctor said anybody would have died had they been subjected to what Chauvin did to Floyd?

If Dr. Tobin believes that 90 pounds of pressure was applied to the neck of George Floyd for 9 minutes straight, then yeah, I'm sure it would kill someone in any ordinary circumstance. I'm not disputing this. I'm disputing the figure 90 pounds because it made certain assumptions that I don't think you can make with complete certainty, and Dr. Tobin has said as much.

Its funny how people forget you once your dead, as its been said, what is dead stays dead and to some persons your existence too but not to every one. I almost forgot about this case that brought up the black lifes matters. It was a very agonising one and I suddenly started being all emotional about it once again of what pain the victim must have felt being held in that disturbing position. Where every effort to break free and catch your breath was seen as an act of insubordination!

Of course, there is always going to be some assumptions to some calculations. It can't be very precise, a little molecule, pound or what ever unit of measurement and conditions is all it takes to make a variation.
Anyway, I pray thee that this case should be considered carefully and let justice be done. BLM!

Day 10 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgrnUf_XgF0

Dr. Baker testified today, he said what we knew from the autopsy report -

Floyd died from fighting with police, subdual, and neck compression with contributing factors of drug use and underlying heart conditions.

And this is in direct contradiction with Dr. Tobin's testimony who suggested the fentanyl/methamphetamine and underlying conditions did not effect Floyd and his cause of death. Hmmm....

Also worth nothing, the prosecution brought up this research paper that I linked many months ago in the thread here - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3088378/

There is no way Dr. Tobin would be able to know how much weight Chauvin put on Floyd's neck with his knee. The figure he gave was a guess.

If one of your feet (or knee) were hurt, you would probably lean on your other foot while standing, so that the hurt foot has very little pressure and the "good" foot has most of your body weight on it. The same principle applies to how much pressure Chauvin was putting on Floyd's body with his knee.


Dr. Baker testified today, he said what we knew from the autopsy report -

Floyd died from fighting with police, subdual, and neck compression with contributing factors of drug use and underlying heart conditions.
I think this is what is going to cause the reasonable doubt:
“Absent suspicious circumstances, if Floyd had been found dead in his bed with the level of fentanyl in his blood that was present for this autopsy, it may be classified a fentanyl fatality,”

Dr Baker's testimony is basically that Floyd died from the actions of another person solely because of what he saw on the video, despite evidence to the contrary.

And your point is what exactly? Why are you attempting to undermine the claims of a medical expert?

I think this is what is going to cause the reasonable doubt:
“Absent suspicious circumstances, if Floyd had been found dead in his bed with the level of fentanyl in his blood that was present for this autopsy, it may be classified a fentanyl fatality,”

It would cause reasonable doubt with you because you're highly biased in favor of the defendant, which is why you're not part of the jury. Nobody in their right mind is going to believe that a drug overdose just happened to coincide with a police officer putting a knee on somebody's neck for 8 minutes. Overdose has been ruled out a million ways from Sunday by people whose opinions actually matter.

You both also missed this tidbit from forensic pathologist Dr. Lindsey Thomas... it's almost like you don't even register the testimony that goes against your pre-conceived notions of what happened:

Quote
There's no evidence to suggest he would have died that night, except for the interactions with law enforcement.

Dr. Baker just testified that fentanyl and heart disease were contributing factors in his death. And he also said the knee to the back of the neck did NOT cut off airflow. He said no tissue damage on the exterior of the skin nor interior of the skin.

When someone says drug OD in this case, they aren't saying that he nodded off. They're saying the fatal level of fentanyl contributed to his death, and likely had it not been for his heart condition and fentanyl/methamphetamine concentration, he would have lived. But main point -- zero evidence of asphyxia, choking, and strangulation by Chauvin's knee cutting off air flow. And Dr. Baker himself said the knee was on Floyd's lower neck, shoulder blade area and upper back most of the time.

Dr. Baker said George Floyd's heart couldn't handle the restraint -- https://www.wsj.com/articles/prosecution-in-derek-chauvin-trial-set-to-call-key-witness-11617975531.

This is completely different from being asphyxiated by Chauvin's knee because it doesn't matter what your heart condition is. If your airflow is cut off, you die regardless of your underlying conditions.

Horrible day for the defense. Their use of force expert got absolutely pummeled today because the prosecution knows they can use emotions and hindsight to convince jurors that Chauvin "should've" known. Never mind numerous state witnesses openly admitting that restraint until EMS can be held, that restraint can be held on drug users because they can regain consciousness and become more violent.

Self defense lawyer Andrew Branca says it best in his blog post - https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/chauvin-trial-day-12-wrap-up-defense-use-of-force-expert-witness-falls-short/

Basically, the direct was extremely weak, and the cross examination was extremely rough. But, if we are taking what Mr. Brodd has to say, someone that has been in FBI tactics training, certified by the FBI, testified in 10 previous court cases, defensive training instructor, and a police officer with a total of **30 years experience**, he says the force was justified.

Also worth nothing, the prosecution's medical experts have all contradicted each other.

Dr. Thomas - Contradicts Dr. Baker, claims positional asphyxia was the cause of death combined with contributing factors of fentanyl use/heart disease.

Dr. Tobin - Underlying factors have nothing to do with Floyd's death, not fentanyl, not meth, not heart conditions, he was suffocated due to the knee on the back of the neck. Tobin claims Floyd died on scene. Contradicts Dr. Baker because he testified Floyd died later. Also contradicts him and Dr. Thomas because underlying factors did play a role, according to them.

ER doc (forgot his name) - Claims Floyd's heart conditions did not play a role in his death. Contradicts both Dr. Thomas and Dr. Baker.

Derek Chauvin is entitled to a fair trial, it's not fair to have jurors be sleeping while testimony is being presented. As a juror, requesting that you stay away is the LEAST anyone could ask for. Even if the person sleeps during the prosecution's testimony, it's still not fair for the state side.

If a juror is sleeping, the burden is on the defense to bring this up in court as soon as it is noticed. If the junior is sleeping while testimony favorable to the defense is being given, it may be grounds for a mistrial, but it is up to the defense to bring this up. If they were sleeping today, it may be beneficial for the defense as you described the day as bad for the defense.

Sleeping during trial by a juror is apparently fairly common and this may be an attempt to get off the jury/get out of jury duty. The juror may be having second thoughts about their ability to be impartial after hearing some of the testimony and realizing just how weak a case the prosecution has.

You guys continue to crack me up.

Hypothetical, what if a sleeping jury member caused Chauvin to get acquitted or a mistrial? Would you not be upset that a killer just got loose because someone was passed out being lazy? This goes both ways. Even if it's common, with how much is on the line, it's disrespectful. And let's take it further than that, if someone fell asleep during the trial, does a reasonable person expect this person to have been paying attention to everything presented?

Im guessing someone closed their eyes for a minute, which is normal,  and a reporter decided to make a story out of it.

Also possible someone was sleeping and the judge yelled at the juror and/or lawyers brought it up during a side bar to be handled when the press wasn't there.

Yes, it is complicated. And juror fatigue is a relatively common issue among complex trials. And I have faith that the judge presiding over the case will make the appropriate decision regarding this matter, should he feel one is necessary.

Did you guys bother to find out what testimony was being missed when the juror was allegedly sleeping, when they were sleeping, or its better to just assume it was important to the defense? Like I mean look at this:

If a juror is sleeping, the burden is on the defense to bring this up in court as soon as it is noticed. If the junior is sleeping while testimony favorable to the defense is being given, it may be grounds for a mistrial, but it is up to the defense to bring this up.

This is 100% speculation. Let's be objective: Not a single part of it is based on fact. Instead, its a series of improbable events all occurring one after another in order to paint a reality that fits preconceived notions, however likely it is completely imaginary.

I feel like you and Quickseller/PrimeNumber7 (do we really have to pretend they're not the same person?) kind of rush to trip over common sense in order to be the first to cram a square block through a round hole. Meanwhile the square hole is just sitting there right next to it. I honestly don't get it.

I knew from the start it was during the prosecution's side of the case, but I don't know if it was during the direct or the cross examination because the courtroom reporter didn't say that part (well, they could've, I just don't remember reading it so correct me if I'm wrong). The point is the same.

Imagine - juror falls asleep during direct questioning of a state witness, but then they are awake for the cross examination. What's that do? That puts a bias in favor of the defense. And of course, the flip situation applies.

What is not common sense about what I said? Is it not unreasonable to ask a juror to stay awake for obvious reasons?

I don't think you can possibly control whether jurors are paying attention to one part of the trial or another even if they're not visibly asleep.

Defense just rest their case, meaning that all the evidence has been presented. Jury will listen to closing arguments on Monday and then deliberate. Trial is essentially over.

My personal thoughts on the defense "star" witness, Dr. Fowler by the defense.

WaPo, Pathologist testifies for Derek Chauvin defense there were too many conflicting factors to call George Floyd’s death a homicide -https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04/14/derek-chauvin-trial-2/.

On Dr. Fowler's credibility, he served as the Chief medical examiner for Maryland for a number of years (so basically what Dr. Baker does), and has served as a forensic pathologist for decades. Dr. Fowler saved the defense after the miserable performance yesterday by defensive tactics experts Mr. Bodd.

I highly recommend anyone that has doubts of the cause of death watch Dr. Fowler's testimony because it almost completely corroborates what Dr. Baker was able to testify about Floyd's cause of death. There is one major difference which I will get into in a sec.

But not only did Dr. Fowler corroborate Dr. Baker's findings, Dr. Fowler covers at least a dozen research papers examining positional asphyxia and in custody deaths. Bottom line according to Dr. Fowler, in custody deaths of positional asphyxia are exceedingly rare to almost nonexistent because the pressure required by someone to asphyxiate a normal person is about 225 pounds of pressure, barring other factors. Most striking studies to me was a use of force review/analysis of a jurisdiction (forgot what area this was) where *over 1000 uses of the prone restraint technique** were used and not one had resulted in a positional asphyxia death. Not one.

You'll also remember Dr. Thomas was asked about a Canada study where the maximal restraint technique was used in real world police interactions, not just a simulation study using some gym mats and people kneeling on each other to collect a participation check. Thousands of prone positional restraints were analyzed out of over 1 million police interactions, no significant clinical deviations were found from these real world police interactions compared to the stimulated interactions. This disputes the prosecution's point that you need to throw out these simulated studies because they aren't real world. What was Dr. Thomas's reaction to this Canadian study where not a single in custody death was reported from the maximal restraint technique? She had nothing to say, no rebuttal, see this 2 minute clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtXTG6_qmjs

Mr. Blackwell on cross examination did refute a couple of the studies regarding the pressure put on someone during the maximal restraint technique, saying that all the studies Dr. Fowler mentioned did not include a knee to the back of the neck, and furthermore did not include restraint being held for 9+ minutes. Dr. Fowler reluctantly agreed. I also kind of agree as well. I tried looking, no studies were done on an individual that was being restrained, hand cuffed, and held down on concrete for over 9 minutes. So it's possible that throws in some variable factors into the mix when we start looking at studies.

Worth noting on redirect, Nelson pointed out that one of the studies *did in fact* examine restraint being held for over 9 minutes, and refreshed Dr. Fowler's memory by presenting him the study. So Mr. Blackwell was wrong.

Just a note on the whole homicide thing, see this slide presented by Dr. Fowler - https://i.imgur.com/ZoEpNF9.png. This slide is taken from https://www.thename.org/ guidelines of death classifications. Just to be clear, homicide in the medical sense is not homicide in the legal sense.

That being said, Dr. Fowler classified Floyd's death as undetermined because there were so many contributing factors involved, it is hard to pinpoint what exactly would have caused Floyd to experience cardiac arrhythmia (all cardiac arrhythmia means is your heart stops working). Meaning was it the drugs? Methamphetamine acting as a vasoconstrictor and stimulant increasing heart rate (both something the defense and state witnesses have corroborated)? Fentanyl causing a potential depression in respiration rate? His heart condition which had coronary artery blockage of near 90 percent in one artery, which Dr. Baker testified could cause sudden death. Was it having an enlarged heart which would require his heart to work harder under stress? Or was it a combination of all these factors creating a recipe for disaster following subdual, restraint, and neck compression by law enforcement? Whatever you think the answer is, we have gone so far from positional asphyxia due to Chauvin's neck which was the original point of contention.

Today, the state recalled Dr. Tobin to refute some portions of Dr. Fowler's testimony. The rebuke was extremely ineffective, lasting a mere few minutes.

If a juror is sleeping, the burden is on the defense to bring this up in court as soon as it is noticed. If the junior is sleeping while testimony favorable to the defense is being given, it may be grounds for a mistrial, but it is up to the defense to bring this up. If they were sleeping today, it may be beneficial for the defense as you described the day as bad for the defense.

Sleeping during trial by a juror is apparently fairly common and this may be an attempt to get off the jury/get out of jury duty. The juror may be having second thoughts about their ability to be impartial after hearing some of the testimony and realizing just how weak a case the prosecution has.

This is 100% speculation.
What exactly do you think I am speculating about? Be specific.

OK, let's break it down. You started each sentence in the first paragraph with the word "If". So you're already assuming certain conditions are present in order to make a point. In your second paragraph you use the word "may" in both sentences -- again, you don't know if these things are true or not. You didn't actually supply any evidence whatsoever, which is why your post is 100% speculation.

Also, it's not entirely honest to post in the same thread using two different accounts. Because you insist one of them is not yours, it appears as if you are attempting to bolster credibility for your previously espoused viewpoints by introducing a different account that shares them. If it were hilariousandco and hilariousetc posting in the same thread, I wouldn't mind so much.



I really don't know how the trial will turn out, but I am for due process. Trying to put myself in the shoes of the jurors, just for the exercise: on one hand, you don't want to sentence a man to prison if it turns out he didn't actually do anything wrong; on the other hand, you don't want to cause riots by letting a guilty man off scott-free. How do you handle the gray area between technically legal and common sense?

Maybe he'll get some kind of mid-level sentence. Who knows.

One interesting tidbit I heard on the Adam Carolla podcast (see, if I was truly a big lib I wouldn't have listened to his show for the last decade) was that Mark Geragos, a LA trial lawyer, claimed that the defense must have thought they did a good job as they motioned to sequester the jury, three days ago. According to Geragos, if the defense thought they were losing, they would have motioned for acquittal.

https://www.newsnationnow.com/banfield/attorney-mark-geragos-discusses-the-defenses-opening-in-day-12-of-chauvin-trial/

Well, two days later, guess what happened? The defense motioned for acquittal, and it was denied, obviously.

https://kstp.com/news/defense-continues-presenting-case-april-14-2021-derek-chauvin-trial/6074716/

Not sure what changed between now and then but something tells me you won't catch Geragos doing a 180 here.

I thought it was usual to ask for an acquittal? People were saying that everybody expected it, that it was just procedural.

But I thought the defense was going to be a lot longer than it was. Maybe they thought they did a good job with Dr. Fowler, I thought they did, and figured they'd end on a high note instead of risking collapse like with their witness Barry Brodd.

Regardless, godspeed to the jurors.

Just to be clear, homicide in the medical sense is not homicide in the legal sense.
I think the term "homicide" in a medical sense is a poor choice of words because it is often used by propagandists who conflate the two meanings. It would be more appropriate to describe these types of deaths as "caused by a person who is not the deceased". 

All in all after listening to everything? Should be an acquittal. There is reasonable doubt that is painted all over this case and almost an infinite number of holes the prosecution left on the table. But I'm not sure if the jury will agree.
It appears that even nutildah agrees with you.

The fact that the video taken by the bystander was allowed to circulate and go viral last summer, while the police department did not release additional footage showing Chauvin's knee on Floyd's shoulder is probably grounds for an appeal if Chauvin is found guilty. Whoever made the decision to not release the additional footage is also probably guilty of the manslaughter of the dozens of people who died in the resulting riots.

I think it is very common for the defense to ask for an acquittal after the prosecution rests their case.

Something that is technically legal, is legal. Period. If you don't like it, change the law. Hold the politicians accountable. There are plenty (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.341#:~:text=Mentally%20incapacitated.,sexual%20contact%20or%20sexual%20penetration.) of laws passed by Democrats they should be held accountable for.

Judge Cahill under some controversy for suggesting that if convicted, Chauvin has some grounds for appeal over Maxine Waters' comments about being more "confrontational"  if they do not get a murder conviction. Cahill called her comments abhorrent and said that he'd wish elected officials would stop talking about the case. https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/judge-blasts-us-rep-maxine-waters-abhorrent-comments-about-chauvin-trial-2021-04-19/

Can't imagine that judge not noticing or not doing anything about a sleeping juror.
It is not up to the judge to notice a sleeping juror. if opposing counsel does something that is not allowed per the rules of evidence, it is up to the other side to object, and if they do not raise the objection, the resulting testimony will be allowed.

Wasn't saying it was the judges responsibility.  Just saying if it did happen, I would be surprised if the judge didn't notice it and pause the trial to sort things out with the juror before moving on rather than wait for one of the lawyers to bring it to the courts attention.

Not in the slightest. I wasn't at the trial, I'm not a juror; I accordingly and appropriately hold no convictions on the outcome of this case.

If anything I think it has been blatantly apparent to millions since Day One that, at the very least, Chauvin was directly responsible for Floyd's death through his actions. I'm sure it was unintentional, but there's no sane reason to keep your knee on somebody's neck or even upper extremities for three and a half minutes after they took their last breath.
Watching the video in May made me believe that Chauvin killedmurdered Floyd. However after additional information was made public, such as Floyd's drug levels in his system when he died, and his history of health problems, along with the fact that Floyd was saying that he cannot breathe while he was in the police car, and more recently, that Chauvin did not have his knee on Floyd's neck the entire ~9 minutes.


Imagine, Derek Chauvin convicted and Maxine Waters is Chauvin's get out of jail free card.

This is probably what Waters wants. Chauvin getting off would help Waters and her fellow Democrats push their talking points. There was a segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight last night that talked about Waters' decades-long history of promoting the use of mob violence.


The jury has reached a verdict, and it should be read in the next 10 minutes. Some are saying that such a quick verdict is not beneficial to the defense. I would expect riots regardless of the outcome.

Edit: he was found guilty on all charges

This verdict confirms that the justice system is racist against white people. The murderer of Ashli Babbitt walks away, because he's Black.
George Floyd died because he ingested too much Fentanyl, had pre-existing conditions, and resisted arrest, but the white police officer is convicted of a non-existant murder.

10 hours of deliberations, think that might have been less than OJ's trial, Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman? I guess they really were sure. Boiled down to watching the video and seeing a handcuffed man crying out for his mother and saying he can't breathe it seems. Closing arguments were leaning in that direction, appeal to emotions was the best approach. It worked.

Yes, he died, of course. The question is how did he die, and what exact role Chauvin had in Floyd's death. The murder charges don't even make sense within the context of this case. 3rd degree murder was at one point thrown out, so it's not just me saying this - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/derek-chauvin-third-degree-murder.html

Except, as any rational person was trying to explain to you since the beginning, none of this "additional information" was relevant in reaching a verdict.
I disagree. If Floyd was saying he couldn't breathe prior to being put on the ground, a reasonable person might not give similar statements much weight when he is put on the ground. Floyd having 3x the lethal amount of drugs in his system is relevant....how would one expect someone to survive after having that level of fentanyl in his system?

Guilty on all counts? On to appeals.
I think the comments Waters made will have the verdict overturned. The prosecution will try the case again. Will he be convicted a second time? I don't know.

And 10 hours of deliberations for a case like this? Really?
This probably means the jurors did not need much convincing to reach their verdict. This could have meant the evidence was strong enough that they were willing to convict. Or it could have meant they were afraid of the outcome if they did not return a guilty verdict. It also could have meant one or more of the jurors was implying they would out anyone who did not vote to convict.

Floyd having 3x the lethal amount of drugs in his system is relevant....how would one expect someone to survive after having that level of fentanyl in his system?


We all know that "I can't breath" is what someone says when they're having trouble breathing or short of breath.  Trying to discredit the victim as a liar because he said he couldn't breath but didn't turn blue and pass out and somehow justifying sitting on top of him while he's screaming it and until he's dead is just dumb.

And we all know that the '3x the lethal amount' line does not take into account Flloyds size or tolerance and meanwhile you have multiple experts testifying that he did not die from an overdose.

You are misrepresenting my argument. I am saying that Floyd was saying he couldn't breathe before Chauvin was doing anything that would possibly interfere with Floyd's breathing. This means one of two things, 1) some factor other than Chauvin was causing Floyd to be unable to breathe, or 2) Chauvin had a reasonable reason to believe Floyd was not actually unable to breathe when making these cries.

overdose is:
take the drug. go into a high instantly and slip into a coma.
yep thats how it works

its not
take a drug. and decide to go to a store and buy cigarettes and then walk to a car and sit in drivers seat
listen to some music while chatting to passengers, interact with cops, get out a car on his own feet and walk to the side walk. talked to the officers clearly and plead to not go into the back of the police car.
he was alert and pleading.. meaning it was not a drug induced overdose
https://youtu.be/VDd5GlrgvsE?t=162
as you can see.. clearly standing walking and talking. ..


...some people want to also argue that the claustrophobia thing is not real.
actually being in a front seat of your own car where you know you can open a door and be incontrol and you can see clearly out of the windscreen.. this is not the same as being handcuffed in a backseat where you cant open the back door and the windows are shut and tinted to not see clearly
and where the leg room of the back seat is restricted and a PVC+metal panel dividing the back/front means it can feel more like a prison/cage..(as police backseats are designed to feel like on purpose)

however the claustrophobia did not cause the death. it caused the need to remove him from the car.

being put onto the road should be to have a few seconds for the THREE officers to reposition themselves and at most put leg shackles on. maybe 30 seconds..

a knee in the back should not be something done for 9 minutes while cops just sit and do nothing.
a knee in the neck should not be something done for any minute while cops just sit and do nothing.

but lets say there was some vaguely stupid reason to knee the neck of someone for more then 30 seconds

a knee in the neck should not be continued when the person has gone silent
a knee in the neck should not be continued when someone is known to be unconscious
a knee in the neck should not be continued when an ambulance has been called
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the ambulance arrives
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the paramedic got out and was standing by the person

choking someone out for 9 minutes. is not police policy
choking someone out and continuing to choke out and not do anything to aid recovery. is not police policy

even chauvins boss and colleagues and specialist in police training are all saying what chauvin done is not policy

so accept it chauvin broke the law in a manner that caused someones death
accept the verdict is in.
accept that chauvin is guilty

Yeah, he was having a panic attack.  This doesn't make it ok to stay on top of him for 9 minutes while he dies. In fact, it's a reason not to stay on top of him for 9 minutes.

I believe the comment you're referring to was the hypothetical "If we found Flloyds body at home, alone and in the same state, it would be ruled an overdose."

But what happened was a cop sat on top of him for 10 minutes until he was dead and it was all caught on video from many angles.

The physical evidence available to the medical examiner suggests that Floyd died from an overdose. The conclusion that Floyd died from having a knee on the back of his neck did not involve any information gained from examining Floyd's body -- it was entirely based on the video evidence. This is a concern because, well it is the medical examiner's job to examine the body.

The question is not solely was Chauvin justified in putting his knee on Floyd's neck or shoulder for 9 minutes? The question is, did Chauvin putting his knee on Floyd's neck cause Floyd to die, or significantly contribute to Floyd's death? I think Chauvin was probably not justified in restraining Floyd to the extent that he was restrained for the amount of time he was restrained. However, I do believe that based on the toxicity report, and the fact that Floyd was having difficulty breathing prior to being put on the ground, Floyd likely died from something related to having excessive amounts of fentanyl in his system.

I think the argument for a manslaughter charge might be more reasonable, but I don't think it is clear-cut that Chauvin is guilty of manslaughter. There is an argument that Chauvin should have administered aid to Floyd, and said argument would again be reasonable.

...

Did you see the testimony from Shwanda Hill, the passenger in Floyd's car? She said Floyd was nodding off in the car and that she couldn't wake him up. Certainly sounds like what fentanyl would do. And keep in mind, methamphetamine is also a stimulant, and he was on both. So if he was in the car passing out, does it not sound like the fentanyl had some effect?

-The Medical Examiner

This is wrong. He said Floyd died after his "heart gave out* following subdual by law enforcement with contributing factors of heart conditions, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use. It's just not true to say he just died from police force and not drugs.

I still don't understand this. We're all suppose to listen to the experts on the cause of death, they each contradict one another.

Dr. Baker (forensic pathologist) - Floyd's heart gave out following law enforcement subdual with contributing factors of heart conditions/drug use. Openly stated no anatomical evidence to support a conclusion of positional asphyxia.

Dr. Thomas (forensic pathologist) - Floyd died of positional asphyxia with contributing factors of heart conditions/drug use.

Dr. Tobin (pulmonologist)  - Floyd *did not die* of underlying factors. They did not play a role in his death. Floyd died of positional asphyxia.

Dr. Rich (cardiologist) - George Floyd had a strong healthy heart and his heart condition did not play a role in his death.


I watched each one of these doctor's testimony and did so closely. They all were contradicting each other. So which expert do I listen to? I pick one?

Manslaughter was the only charge here worth debating. Murder 2 and Murder 3 are so unbelievably wild I don't understand what trial this jury was watching.

Dr. Baker also testified that it appeared to him the knee was on the upper back area between the shoulder blades for most of the time. So which is it? Was it on the neck, or was it on the back?

Secondly, you're telling me Floyd died because of the knee to the back of the neck and that fentanyl, a respiration rate depressant, methamphetamine a vasoconstrictor, coronary artery blockage of 75% and 90%, an enlarged heart, and the fact that chewed up fentanyl/methamphetamine pills were found in the back of the squad car Floyd was placed in had no effect?

Would we be having the same argument if Chauvin was kneeling on a 90-year old grandma? Look, she had 20 pre-existing conditions and would have died anyway within the next 5 minutes or 5 years.

I think it's disingenuous to try to have it both ways, i.e. that the person had severe or even fatal health issues, and that it was ok for the officer to do what he did. If Floyd's condition was so dire they should have taken him to a hospital immediately instead of trying to arrest him for using a fake $20.

I'm not an expert. It seems to me as an observer that the cause of death is obvious. And the outcome of the trial gives the same result as my uninformed opinion.

We are all qualified to be on that jury. This was a jury of ordinary people. Sure, we're not Chauvin's peers, sure we are not experts in positional asphyxia or toxicology experts, but that doesn't matter, neither was the jury. This was televised so everyone had the opportunity to make their own judgement about the cause of death and the use of force. So based on what I saw, I disagree with the verdict.

Dr. Baker also testified that it appeared to him the knee was on the upper back area between the shoulder blades for most of the time. So which is it? Was it on the neck, or was it on the back?

maybe if you as a sofa jurer watched the video you could see for yourself. thats why not only the 'expert' words but the video itself are used

also he was handcuffed. so if you want to suggest he reached in his pocket upwrapped some packaging and put a pill in his mouth.. seems you dont understand handcuff logic much
also in full view of several police officers.. seems you dont understand visual logic

so.. lets see if you can watch the video. and actually see the events. and not make up 'maybe' stories
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjKjaCvXdf4

as you can see in the first 5 minutes he was conscious. talking. and alert enough to even spell his name and give his date of birth.
yes he seemed upset that he was being arrested for what he deemed as a victimless crime. but then who would be happy.
none of this displays any sign of someone that has overdosed.

also to your suggestion that he took something out and left it in the back of the police car.. well the cops frisked him and emptied his pockets before he got into the car

so. lets get things straight. look at the video linked above and actually tell me the specific times where your assertions occured

oh and one more thing. starting at 11:30. you can see chauvins LEFT knee hard on his neck. and right knee hanging in the air in his back area
i know you only want to talk about the right knee but be aware of the left knee

No, I am suggesting that Floyd took pills and swallowed them to hide them once the police approached his car.

How else can you possibly explain partially chewed up pills being found in the police car where Floyd struggled with police WITH Floyd's DNA on them? He did the same exact thing during his 2019 arrest which was shown in court, not the full bodycam video but partially. Police yelled at Floyd saying "spit it out". He has a history of doing this.

Am I to believe that had nothing to do with his death?

Flloyd died "from police force, not drugs or underlying health conditions"
-The Medical Examiner

This is wrong. He said Floyd died after his "heart gave out* following subdual by law enforcement with contributing factors of heart conditions, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use. It's just not true to say he just died from police force and not drugs.

I still don't understand this. We're all suppose to listen to the experts on the cause of death, they each contradict one another.

Dr. Baker (forensic pathologist) - Floyd's heart gave out following law enforcement subdual with contributing factors of heart conditions/drug use. Openly stated no anatomical evidence to support a conclusion of positional asphyxia.

Dr. Thomas (forensic pathologist) - Floyd died of positional asphyxia with contributing factors of heart conditions/drug use.

Dr. Tobin (pulmonologist)  - Floyd *did not die* of underlying factors. They did not play a role in his death. Floyd died of positional asphyxia.

Dr. Rich (cardiologist) - George Floyd had a strong healthy heart and his heart condition did not play a role in his death.


I watched each one of these doctor's testimony and did so closely. They all were contradicting each other. So which expert do I listen to? I pick one?

Manslaughter was the only charge here worth debating. Murder 2 and Murder 3 are so unbelievably wild I don't understand what trial this jury was watching.

I don't think it's that confusing at all.  He didn't overdose.  Chauvin killed him.

The whole "he did drugs" argument really is just grasping at straws.  It doesn't matter.

oh so its not longer a story:
Quote
and the fact that chewed up fentanyl/methamphetamine pills were found in the back of the squad car Floyd was placed in had no effect?

so no longer about pill packed in police car.. but now pills before the arrest...
..
hmm so how come he was still alert and able to talk and spell his name and give date of birth and answer questions..

do you still not know how overdoses work

its funny how the video has been public for months.. the jury has already passed its verdict.. but you as a sofa jurer have a different story to tell that does not follow ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE

by the way the medication packaging found in floyds sisters car was not fentanyl. and the amount of that other medication in his blood was not overdose amount. it was not even therapeutic/recreational amount

so heres some actual facts.. not stories
fentanyl levels in floyd were similar to those found in DUI stats. but not enough as postmortem stats
0=clean    9-12=DUI(alive)         18+=overdose(dead)
                  ^ floyd had 11
also those that overdose and die. dont have norfentanyl in their system as they die before fentanyl has chance to break down
floyd had norfentanyl in his system meaning he took fentanyl along time before the police approach. and had enough time for the fentanyl to break down(recover from peak of high)
so again no overdose risk

This goes both ways. Floyd gave his name but it appeared he was a bit incoherent and erratic. But how come he was nodding off in the car? The passenger in the car testified this, that he kept falling asleep and he couldn't be woken up. How come he was alert while he was in the store, then suddenly just passes out and is unable to be awakened?

And in regards to the fentanyl levels, I'll believe Dr. Baker when he says 11 ng/mL of fentanyl is an unsafe level and put fentanyl intoxication as the contributing factor. He testified that he's certified fentanyl levels of 3 ng/mL as OD's, so not a harmless amount of fentanyl.

Why does it matter if he was high or overdosing when we have a video of the cop kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes until he was dead?

Being high or overdosing does not make someone unmurderable.

Being high or overdosing does not make someone unmurderable.

Because, as I have been saying for months now, you cannot determine the pressure Chauvin was putting onto Floyd using a damn video. There is just no way to tell. There is research to suggest that 225 pounds of pressure is needed to effect respiration in the prone restraint position. There is research to suggest that the prone restraint position does not inhibit respiration function. There is research to suggest that in thousands of usages of the prone restraint technique in Canada and other cities and not a single death was ever recorded. Coincidentally, Canada does not have the drug dependency like Americans do.

Your argument would hold up IF Dr. Baker ruled positional asphyxia as the cause of death and he didn't. So that means that fentanyl and methamphetamine clearly did play a role in Floyd's death and the whole point of contention is whether Chauvin's knee had "substantial causal factor" (this is the phrase used in the jury instructions for 2nd degree manslaughter and I think the murder charges as well) in Floyd's death

I've asked about a dozen different ways, how can anyone be sure of the pressure Chauvin exerted onto Floyd throughout the entirety of the restraint when there wasn't any bruising, any skin damage, no contusions nothing. I am asking because maybe I'm just wrong and missing something here.

Irrelevant. If you are kneeling on someone's neck, and they're telling you they can't breathe, then maybe you should just get off their neck? Rather than thinking "well, I'm only kneeling kind of lightly, it's probably not fatal pressure..."

I never said fentanyl or meth didn't play a roll in the death.

I'm saying it doesn't matter if they did.  It wouldn't make Chauvin any less guilty of staying on top of the guy for 9 minutes while he begged for his life and then died.

George Floyd was saying he could not breathe before he was even being put on the ground. He was placed on his side for the first two minutes of the restraint in the recovery position and continued to say he could not breathe. Rewatch the body cam video, while the prone restraint was being used, Floyd was being held with his left side on the ground and his right side raised up in the air. Police officers in Minneapolis are trained that if someone can speak, they can breathe. In accordance to Derek Chauvin's own training and MPD policy, he had no reason to believe that Floyd could not breath.

Second point. Floyd did not die of positional asphyxia according to the medical examiner who conducted Floyd's autopsy report, and he in fact testified under oath that Floyd's airway was not blocked. This idea that Floyd was suffocated is nonsense and was disproved months ago when the autopsy report was published.

I'm saying it doesn't matter if they did.  It wouldn't make Chauvin any less guilty of staying on top of the guy for 9 minutes while he begged for his life and then died.

What the jury instructions that the judge read out to everyone was -- you need to prove Chauvin had a "substantial causal factor" (this is the exact phrase that is used in the instructions) in Floyd's death. You need to prove this *beyond a reasonable doubt*. You need to separate meth, fentanyl, artery blockage, the actions of officers Lane and Kueng, an enlarged heart, and the fact that Floyd popped fentanyl/meth pills when police arrived on scene and isolate Derek Chauvin as the "substantial causal factor" of death. That's is downright impossible without the cause of death being positional asphyxia. If you disagree, tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me what evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, was presented that isolated Chauvin's actions as the substantial causal factor of death. You satisfy this if George Floyd was positionally asphyxiated, why the state had Dr. Tobin as a witness to testify that Floyd died of positional asphyxia. Except his testimony directly contradicts the testimony of Dr. Baker, the only person who conducted Floyd's autopsy. There were some other contradictions that I already mentioned before.

 My happiness is that the bad cop that killed George Floyd has been sentenced to 75yrs imprisonment and this will serve as a lesson and stern warning to others. Sometimes it baffles me how the issue of racism still exists in this our generation till now, I thought it was the thing of old but now it’s on another dimension. And the white folks ain’t helping either. The government should do more.

Juror speaks out.

TL;DR - Pro BLM man who said Derek Chauvin's confidence deteriorated.

"To me, (Chauvin) started out really confident," he said. "The first week, for sure -- I felt like he was confident, his lawyers were confident. I could feel the confidence for sure."

"I didn't see any remorse."

I too look at a man's demeanor, and from my ass, determine how confident another person is and that he doesn't feel any remorse.


During his questionnaire to determine any biases "This is the most historic case of my lifetime, and I would love to be a part of it," he wrote. How Eric Nelson didn't strike this guy is beyond me. Anyone that wanted to be on that jury should've been dismissed
 
Last but not least, he said this to CNN:

"We haven't seen an outcome like this on a case. I really think this is a start, and I think it's a good start". "And then all the attention that it is still getting -- just keeping that magnifying glass there has to spark some kind of change."

If you think this person was impartial you are lying to yourself. I don't find it surprising he ran to CNN to cash in his 10 minutes of fame.

This is going to get the case overturned on appeal. A single junior lying about being impartial means the defendant did not receive a fair trial as guaranteed by the US Consitution. In the case of this specific junior, I would not find it unreasonable to say that he intimidated other juniors inro voting for a guilty verdict.

This guy should be locked up for contempt, and purgery.

Well, look at the questionaire they gave out to every potential juror - https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20508712/jurorquestionnaire.pdf


Look at page 8, question 12 - "Other than what you have already described above, have you, or anyone close to you,
participated in protests about police use of force or police brutality?"

Surely that March in D.C. was about police brutality, correct? Does this protest seem like something you ought to put on the questionnaire? Well, Brandon Mitchell would argue no. I wouldn't be so convinced.

But I guess that's just a play on semantics. Is a BLM protest a police brutality protest? Are the two words interchangeable? I think so, yes. But there will be some bonehead that would say no.

heres some facts outside of your disliking the jury appeal

out of any 12 people you are going to fin someone that actually gives a crap about minorities
.. also
floyd was unarmed so no matter the method. no use of force that has a known result of death should be used.
yes kneeling on a neck is a method to kill someone

the only defense of using a knee on neck without intent to kill.. is if its used for 5-30 seconds to subdue someone while your colleagues position themselves to restain the suspect properly

but having 3 officers standing around watching. and a cop with a knee on neck for 9 minutes.. is not that

get over yourself. chauvin killed floyd.
accept it and move on

try using your time on the other thousands of officers that do make mistakes. and not this guy that purposefully done something that would kill anyone in under 9 minutes in any common sense reality
that even a 10yo can understand is something you do not even do play fighting

If he is wearing a tee-shirt that says "get your knee off our necks", he is protesting police brutality. The rally itself may or may not have been about police brutality, but the specific reason he was there was because of at least in part, police brutality.

The tee-shirt also shows that he had already made up his mind prior to hearing the evidence. The tee-shirt is saying that the use of force was excessive and lead to Floyd's death. This was a point of contention during the trial.

You two still haven't accepted that the trial is over?

And your posts are still 100% speculation-driven.... just holding out for a glimmer of hope - any sort of a sign, really - that you haven't been misled the entire time. Well, the next time you're publicly proven to be wrong about something, which will be soon, perhaps ask yourself why you continue to fall for the words of the same falsehood peddlers time after time.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/551624-chauvin-juror-on-attending-protest-i-just-thought-it-was-a-good

Quote
“It was directly related to MLK’s March on Washington from the '60s. ... The date of the March on Washington is the date. ... It was literally called the anniversary of the March on Washington,” Mitchell told the Star-Tribune in reference to the demonstration he attended last year.

Oh, but you guys know what he's really thinking, right?  ::)


I'm glad you're quoting the guy that might face legal consequences for lying to get on a jury and taking his opinion on things.

Did you know that George Floyd's family spoke at this march?

Here's what The Guardian has to say about this march, article written august 28th.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/28/march-washington-dc-racism-get-your-knee-off-our-necks

They call it a "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks" march. You're telling me this march had NOTHING to do with police brutality?

Direct quote from article "Rally highlighted police brutality and voting rights"

You have a juror that attended a march in which the alleged victim's family member spoke at, speaking about police brutality, wearing a "take the knee off our necks" t shirt and a BLM hat. You are lying to yourself if you think this person was neutral, and it sure looks like to me that he lied to get on the jury.

The 25 percent of overall Americans in the CBS News/YouGov poll who said they disagree with the Chauvin verdict also overwhelmingly responded that they "strongly" disagree with any ideas tied to Black Lives Matter (BLM).

Obviously this has become all about race, but anyone capable of forgetting all the politics shouldn't have any trouble watching the video of George Flloyd being murdered and figuring out who the murderer is.

Or....it might be about ideology and not race? Plenty of republicans disagree with BLM, nothing wrong with that. Unless you're saying that most republicans are racist.

Obviously this has become all about race, but anyone capable of forgetting all the politics shouldn't have any trouble watching the video of George Flloyd being murdered and figuring out who the murderer is.


Yes, because from the video you're able to tell Floyd's lung volume, right? You're able to tell the amount of force Chauvin's knee had upon Floyd's neck/upper back from the video? From the video you were able to determine that Floyd's fentanyl levels, enlarged heart, 90 percent arterial blockage, methamphetamine use and restraint from officers Lane and Kueng didn't have any role in his death. From the video, you were able to isolate all these factors I mentioned, and determined that Chauvin's knee to be the substantial causal factor of death, per the jury instructions? From the video you were able to tell that Floyd died of positional asphyxia, a cause of death that the Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner did not determine, the only person who reviewed Floyd's body? This case was more than just the video.

gyfts seems to be the one that thinks the trial is not over.

plus when someone is MURDERED(proven guilt confirmed) and there is a protest about murder. and the victims family went to the protest... gyfts wants to highlight this as a thing to negatively point the finger at the victims family for protesting about their own family member being murdered.. and anyone else.. as if protesting about murder should be abolished or shunned(facepalm)

what should they do celebrate the murderer and throw him a party... um no.
Did you know that George Floyd's family spoke at this march?
Here's what The Guardian has to say about this march, article written august 28th.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/28/march-washington-dc-racism-get-your-knee-off-our-necks
They call it a "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks" march. You're telling me this march had NOTHING to do with police brutality?
Direct quote from article "Rally highlighted police brutality and voting rights"
You have a juror that attended a march in which the alleged victim's family member spoke at, speaking about police brutality, wearing a "take the knee off our necks" t shirt and a BLM hat. You are lying to yourself if you think this person was neutral, and it sure looks like to me that he lied to get on the jury.

when it comes to murder.. no one is neutral.. everyone detests murder. no one applauds murder.
no one accepts murder is ok.
what someone is neutral about is if they can put their personal opinion about murder aside. and look at the evidence to see if it even comes close to being unanimously clear as being murder.

9 minutes on someones neck is not temporary restraint to get a better position to arrest someone.

i know you dont accept the verdict Gyfts. bu the verdict is the verdict.
accept the trial is over.
accept putting a knee on someones neck for anything more then 30 seconds is bad.

stop acting like it was anything else
dont be a trump, trying hard to find any silly loophole to try to explain a result is not a result.

reality is.. he is guilty.. end of.
accept it and move on

Cops executing black men for passing fake $20s is just one example of many civil rights violations historically experienced by African Americans.

And this happens to ALSO be police brutality. Why is this so hard? Did you know something can be a civil rights violation and police brutality at the same time, it's not just one or the other? Unless you're telling me you think cops executing a man for passing a fake 20 is NOT an example of police brutality?


- You're not a lawyer. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you have no formal training or experience with the legal system, outside of the occasional court appearance we are statistically privy to during our lifetimes.
- You're speculating (that's what it is: pure speculation; per usual you have no actual evidence to back your assumptions) that the juror answered "no" to questions he should have answered "yes" when you don't even know that's what actually happened.
- You're overpowering all common sense to assume the defense attorney (a real attorney with an actual law degree and years of experience) is incapable of selecting impartial jurors and doesn't have an idea of when jurors may be lying or impartial

Well good thing Eric Nelson is a lawyer, he alleges juror misconduct - https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/Notice-of-Motion-and-Motion.pdf

So... why do you keep proffering conclusions about this case even after being proven incorrect time after time? You're not letting your lack of understanding of the judicial system get in the way of disagreeing with actively involved experts in the subject, and I just want to understand why not.

Well, if you care to know I'd be happy to tell you. I happen to be agreeing with the cause of death that Dr. Baker, Hennepin county medical examiner says was the cause of death. I also happen to agree with expert Dr. Fowler, chief medical examiner of Maryland with decades of experience.

You keep saying I disagree with the experts. I agree with the guy who conducted Floyd's autopsy report. Does that sound like I disagree with the experts?


https://www.npr.org/sections/trial-over-killing-of-george-floyd/2021/05/04/993665655/derek-chauvin-files-for-new-trial-in-george-floyd-murder-case

He actually did allege juror misconduct, read the document - https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/Notice-of-Motion-and-Motion.pdf

Page 3, number 2. He uses the words "juror misconduct".

...

Why do you think I haven't moved on? I am posting NEW articles about updates regarding this case. I'm not just putting over the same articles same old news over and over again. There's a difference. But I am a Nazi skin head according to you so I guess it just means I'm a racist huh?

And your point being what? Again, you're completely bypassing the fact that you don't know how the juror answered the questions, or that it is even a problem at all. You're just assuming that it is, treating tenuous presumptions as some sort of weird life raft for your argument

We do know how the juror answered. What do you mean? He said no, he has not attended any protest related to police brutality. So the fact he attended a police brutality protest that was advertised as a "Get your knee off our neck" march sure looks like he might've lied or maybe not been truthful. Not like we can "prove" he lied, but we can prove that it wasn't the truth. It's basically a pick between willful malice or ineptitude. Perhaps both? Who knows.

I admit that in my haste I missed this part. So he's a lawyer, and as I respect the legal process I feel Chauvin definitely deserves an appeal.


THANK YOU. Let the appeals process play out, if it is successful, then a new trial. If not, Chauvin was given his due process. That's all I'm saying.

Quote
“It was directly related to MLK’s March on Washington from the '60s. ... The date of the March on Washington is the date. ... It was literally called the anniversary of the March on Washington,” Mitchell told the Star-Tribune in reference to the demonstration he attended last year.

Oh, but you guys know what he's really thinking, right?  ::)
The junior wearing the "get your knee of our necks" shirt is prima facie evidence that he had a predisposed opinion on the defendant's guilt.

Most Republicans agreed with the verdict and the ones that didn't overwhelmingly disagree with any idea tied to BLM.
I don't think many Republicans are comfortable giving their honest opinion on the matter.

Of course.  Poll results show your opinion in the minority, must discredit.

But but but... if the knee on the neck didn't cause Floyd's death then protesting against the knee is like protesting against mint chip ice cream.

You guys crack me up. The trial is over. Chauvin was found guilty. He would have been found guilty by pretty much any reasonable jury. Pinning someone to the ground until they stop breathing is murder, despite the hypocritical claims about Floyd's medical conditions... in which case he should have been in a hospital, not being arrested for a fucking $20.

Let it go already. I'm sure this is not the last chance you'll get to defend murderous cops and most of the time they get away with it so you'll be "winning" the debate more often than not.

The tee-shirt shows bias on the part of the junior. This means the trial will likely be thrown out by the appellate courts. The trial judge was not exactly courageous in making rulings consistent with the law during the trial that may have been unpopular.

You are correct, the trial is over, however losing parties have the right to appeal negative court outcomes, and Chauvin is appealing on the basis of the junior being biased and on the basis of the junior lying on his junior questionnaire (among other issues).

My expectation is that Chauvin's guilty verdict is eventually overturned.

Overturned, no.
Granted another trial, possibly.

Considering that he has now been federally indicted it's a tough call from a legal perspective on how to proceed.
That's now 2 grand juries and 1 court case that he lost. Might be better to work on getting a sentencing / plea deal.

Remember if he is found guilty in the federal trial, the Office Space quote comes into play. "We're not going to some white-collar resort prison. No, no, no! We're going to federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison!"

If you plea it down and work on a deal, you can go to golf resort prison, you go to trial you take your chances.

In case anyone is interested in some wider context...

The Washington Post has a database (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/) of police killings since 2015.
And there is also The Guardian's award-winning 2 year investigation (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database#), covering 2015-16.

Quote from: James Comey, FBI director
"It is unacceptable that the Washington Post and the Guardian newspaper from the UK are becoming the lead source of information about violent encounters between [US] police and civilians."

There's also a decent summary (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02601-9) of available data by Nature.

Who the fuck is "junior"?

Great, we can file it with all your other expectations, like Trump winning in a landslide or stock market tanking after Biden's inauguration.

Chauvin's lawyers are now basically throwing shit at the wall and hoping some of it sticks. Can't blame them, technically they're obligated to do what's legally possible to help their client. But it doesn't mean they'll get what they want.

I really thought, everybody already accepted that chauvin is a murderer. I guess I'm wrong.

It is like a unwinnable case no matter what kind of not guilty plea he submit. I'm even amazed that his lawyers try to defend him in the first place.

Anyway, the last resort he can now go is to go federal, though It would be nice if he just appeal to reduce the sentence and not a "Not Guilty plea"

If anything, there's a chance a second case could find him innocent of the one or two most serious charges, but him being found innocent on all charges is just some kind of weird, evil pipe dream.

chauvins lawyers are basically obligated to stretch out any and all legal avenues at their $XXX per hour costs. until there is nothing left to to stretch.

once the money dries up and all the paths they can follow dry up.. chauvin is still going to be drying his hands by rubbing them against his bright orange prison jumpsuit. for a long time.

..
most greedy lawyers dont care about their client. although chauvin is definitely guilty and deserves it, however even i seen a few watered down dumb questions with no effort made by the defense. its like they didnt even try or avoided trying*.
but the next step is while chauvin does his time, his legal team can take their time adding on more hours 'investigating'
they wont want to rush straight to an appeal and then an appeal of an appeal to waste all chauvins lifelines of legal options within a year. they will happily drag out those many appeal process options over the years and add in lots of legal costs in between.

no point just begging for an appeal without any new evidence days after a trial.
*(this might explain why they didnt push hard first time..
.. to then push a little harder next time. mentioning things they didnt mention in first trial)

but all in all while the lawyer make profit.. chauvin is going to prison.. and deserves to be in prison
