This blog has great coverage and on the daily live thread the testimony is being live-blogged, for anyone who can’t watch or doesn’t want to. I personally can only bear to watch the highlights because I can only take so much of the Minnie-Sodah accents.

this is great expert narrative from a guy that used to investigate police brutality. first part is him explaining his credentials, jump to 13:19 for his expert narrative of the camera footage

I always felt like third degree was a more appropriate charge than second (from the little bit I read/understood about MN law, at least)

Floyd is not saint but that cop should clearly be convicted with manslaughter or something similar.

Derek Chauvin trial


This dude is JUDGED guilty before the trial starts. The media has decide so.

Mob rules in this country, not laws. Just like in the OJ murder trial.

Hopefully Chauvin gets off and gets a settlement afterwards. Fentanyl killed Floyd, not him and he should be compensated for the undue harassment he's had to take

I hope Chauvin gets off and is able to sue Minneapolis and Minnesota for millions.

Wow......Why were the cops called in the first place????? Well evidently George had committed a crime while having a very dangerous drug in his system...... there is a reason the cops were called..... SO many people don’t want that part brought up.... however , what Chauvin did means he should spend many many years in prison........

It’s not that hard to figure out...

If George was just minding his own biz and not breaking the law this would have never happened.....FACT.......

The frickery by the prosecution in this case is going to be astronomical. I expect a Freddy Gray 2.0 situation in their desperation to throw this dude in jail.

Say Floyd died of an OD when he ate his own stash.

Which he had done before and almost died.

I can't wait to bump my comments when DC walks. The emotional response to this was amazing and entertaining. So glad it happened in our Canadian state.

One thing is for sure. Whatever he is convicted of will not be enough for some and too much for others. I just hope the legal system works like its supposed to and that the aftermath will be minimal.

I think the big sticking point is how much fentanyl he had in his system

Anyone else see the name “Derek Chauvin” and was thinking this would be about some oilfield baw from Houma for a spilt second, before reading the context? Based on the name?
