Good

Chauvin is a prick ... but not a murderer.

If you watch the documentary about Minneapolis, the technique Chauvin used was taught in the manual and the academy. When the pressure came down, the Chief of Police tried to pretend it wasn’t, though multiple cops showed the manual and diagrams illustrating the technique Chauvin used on Floyd.

Certainly & I want to be shocked that this was not done in the initial investigation with the levels of drugs that were found in his system but I vividly remember 2020 & the lengths they went trying to burn this country down

What level of melt would we be at if Orange gave a pardon?

And the judge chose to make the evidence inadmissible, if I recall correctly.

For that reason alone, he deserves an appeal and a new trial in a different jurisdiction.

Nobody truly cares about George Floyd anymore and they only did for the money and narrative.

You would have also seen St Floyd pull the EXACT same stunt on a prior arrest. It was almost to the T.

I still can’t believe WOKE arse LSU lit the stadium in George Floyd colors. How gay is that? LSU is too woke.

Based upon the fact that he disregarded the optics. Based on the fact that he ignored pleadings and was too much of a prick to consider the obvious depth of the situation beneath him. Based on the fact that, while he was following procedure .... he still had dominance, and multiple reinforcements, to the point where he could have changed the optics and let-up ... and understood that the man, as criminal a phuq and POS as he was .... was dying.

Just mho.

Chauvin SHOULD NOT be in prison. But he was a prick ... he showed no humanity whatsoever.

I don’t think he can, it’s a state charge if I remember correctly

As I recall, the other officers at the scene were not comfortable with what Chauvin was doing, and Chauvin's record included a number of complaints that this union helped him skate on. That's at least some evidence of Chauvin not acting appropriately.

Finally, I believe that the murder statute he was convicted under allowed for a level of intent that was something like "reckless disregard" which is not how I think most people think of murder.

Disclaimer: this is all from memory but I did look into this at the time because a murder charge did not make sense to me.

Not often will you ever see two diametrically opposite outcomes in such a short period of time, than we saw with the George Floyd overdose death and the Ashli Babbitt murder.

Chauvin literally did absolutely everything by the book, and was actually a hell of a lot more patient than 90% of police in America would have been in dealing with Saint Floyd of Fentanyl. Yet, he is imprisoned with a price tag on his head and has already survived assassination attempts because the media and DC politicians wanted to blame him for a career criminal resisting arrest dying of a drug overdose.

CHP Officer Michael Byrd ignored the universally taught and applied "escalation of force" training, and went straight to his pistol in a non-life-threatening situation, shooting an unarmed female military veteran in the throat at a distance of nearly point-blank, resulting in her almost immediate death. He was given television interviews, called a "hero", received a raise and promotion, and even collected at least $30,000 cash from Nancy Pelosi.

I'm honestly uncertain how wypipo haven't burned this whole morherfricker to the ground, seeing as we're so "violent and bigoted". True justice would be to give Ashli's widower just five minutes in the cage with Byrd. It might only take 12 seconds, but the rest of the carnage would just be sweet lagniappe.

I think he had state and federal charges, so Trump could only pardon the federal side.

That's damned unusual. Usually you can't introduce evidence at the appellate level.
