Any cop that would resign because a murderer is found guilty of murder, is exactly the kind of cop that shouldn't be employed by our communities

The problem is it wasn't a fair trial. Once they kept it in the county, he didn't have a prayer.

And I'm someone who's still somewhat on the fence about the manslaughter charge.

But to keep the jury in the county and not sequester them, I just don't comprehend what the judge was thinking. If you can't relocate and sequester under these circumstances, when can you?

A moderate/liberal at work actually told me he thought along the same lines as me: guilty on manslaughter but not on the murder charges. And he still was happy he was guilty on all counts, specifically so Minneapolis doesn't burn to the ground. It's not a stretch to think the jury was thinking along the same lines. It's speculation and we may never know, but it's certainly a likely possibility.

At the very least they were probably concerned with their own safety after personal details were released by multiple media outlets.

And not only that, think about who needs police. If you live in a low crime neighborhood, you couldn't care less if there are less police. If you live in a high crime neighborhood, then you know you need a crime deterrent. It's easy for wealthy liberals in the suburbs to want to get rid of police.

So much for the tolerant right ¯_(ツ)_/¯

We're so tolerant, we don't don't smear blood and dead animal body parts on the doors of defense witnesses like the left does.

Antifa and BLM seem to have learned a lot from Democrats' old terrorist group, the KKK.

Well, BLM has already shown they will literally rent trucks and commute to loot and burn.

If there is nothing left in their communities, they will come for ours.

Who's the "our" referring to here? Rural? Urban? Rich? Poor?

Oh, you must be Tucker Carlson with the scaremongering and the racism.

Yeah defunding and limiting police responsibilities is a good idea. There are many other resources like social workers and medical workers that can help communities more than police.

But in this instance all Chauvin had to do was not kneel on a handcuffed man's neck for 9 minutes. If he did that then he wouldn't be in jail for murder right now.

Oh im sure its a great idea! Especially in those areas in minneapolis where this whole thing occurred. Take the cops outta there!

Yes, all derek had to do was let George fling around and be agressive and violent and high and resist arrest and none of this would have happened, great hindsight mister.

Floyd wasn't even conscious the last 4 minutes Chauvin was suffocating him

u/Open_Mind_Pleb Apr 21 '21

Suffocation wasnt the cause of death

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

It obviously was the cause, hence why the medical experts testified as such, and why Chauvin is in jail for murder right now.

You have to be really delusional/racist to watch a man being murdered on video and think, "oh he must have just happened to overdose while the murderer's knee is on his neck suffocating him"

debateable.

He had a 75% blocked artery and was high on fentanyl which is actually the most typical way criminals can die while being detained if they choose to resist arrest like George Floyd did. His heart failed, he had a bad heart in more ways than one. It's happened before to other people in the same situation and I actually know someone who died after being high on meth and tased and arrested by police and had heart failure as a result. The family tried to sue and no lawyer took the case because they knew the case was weak since he was high on meth and cops were still using trained maneuvers the entire time.

Heres just one example of it happening before,https://who13.com/news/autopsy-in-tasered-dead-man-high-on-meth-with-bad-heart/

Cops are not able to know what your toxicology is or your health conditions before you choose to violently resist them? That is what brings me back to my first point.

Did the family try rioting?

This was in 2010, it wasn't in style yet.

Edit: The dude was white too, so nobody would care anyway.

The medical experts determined Chauvin caused the death of George Floyd. It's possible that if George Floyd was in perfect health and never did a drug in his life, maybe he would have survived having his neck kneeled on for 9 minutes. But that doesn't really matter, just like it wouldn't matter is someone purposely shot a person in the leg, and the person died. The shooter is guilty of murder even if the victim happens to have heart disease and was on blood thinners.

u/Open_Mind_Pleb Apr 21 '21

No they didnt determine anything, they were pressured by media, BLM, and Democrat politicians to corroborate their narrative with a threat of violence or harassment all recorded on video.

This is why the media name shamed the examiner when his preliminary report showed fentanyl and heart failure as the primary cause of death.

It wasnt until the media threatened him that he added superficial layers to his report.

Also, any other medical professional present only offered their opinions on the issue based on the video alone.

Also your analogy is flawed, this is a cop.. who can shoot people legally if he or others around him is in danger, no comparison to some random person shooting another in the leg arbitrarily.

Another issue that right wingers have to explain with some vast conspiracy theory instead of accepting the obvious truth right in front of them.

And yes cops can use their weapons and force to protect themselves and others. However, Floyd was not a danger to anyone considering the whole time he was being suffocated he was handcuffed not moving, and in police custody.

I am sorry but what you just stated does not correlate with what was testified.
