re: Court allows Chauvin legal team to test George Floyd's heart tissue for appeal

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

Don't know much about Chauvin the man but I know he was performing his job as a police officer the way he was trained the day George Floyd died of drugs and chronic health conditions that were exacerbated by the restraint method used by Chauvin. There is a great documentary called the Fall of Minneapolis that goes into great detail of the George Floyd tragedy and the subsequent Summer of Love BS.

Based upon the fact that he disregarded the optics.

You usually have good takes on situations but that has to be one of the more asinine statements I've read about Chauvin.

I watched every minute of the trial. A blind man could have seen he was railroaded.

He was, definitely, MOST CERTAINLY, railroaded ... but it could have been avoided.

All he had to do was turn the a-hole over, sit him up, and talk to him.

Here's the problem.

Floyd kept pleading, "I can't breath." He said it 31 times. He was panicking.

He was forceful at first, he had good air and he was saying it quickly ... but each time, he had less air, he quit saying it forcefully and it got slower and slower ... trailing off, until the end, when he finally expired.

Even them Chauvin kept the knee on him. That's bad optics.

Everyone standing there filming it knew what was happening. Floyd was dying. Not because of Chauvin's tactics ... but he was dying.

Humans have an enate fear of suffocation ... of drowning, of claustrophobia, of restriction of oxygen ... of strangulation.

Breath of life.

Chauvin showed no mercy. He refused to offer aid. He refused to show empathy.

Chauvin was a prick. He has a long documented history of being an overzealous prick.

I've seen people die from lack of 0². I've watched their necks turn blue, seen their pupils dilate and then contract ... held their hands.

Chauvin showed no human empathy. He SHOULD NOT be in jail ... he was definitely railroaded ... but he's a phuqing prick.

I agree that Chauvin did not murder GF. What he did do was to use force by restraint for way too long. In doing so, he managed to screw over every law enforcement officer in America and even many abroad.

Life as a LEO has sucked since the GF case happened. Just now things are starting to become somewhat normal again.

Hope he wins his appeal but I still don’t like the guy one bit. He will not win an appeal on his Federal Civil Rights abuse conviction. He’s doing his time in Federal Prison, I believe.

Bad optics are not criminal.

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.

Wrong example, try Tony Timpa.

That poor bastard got life in prison just for being in physical contact with a person who was ODing. That shite was insane. It's still surreal to think about. It was unnerving how the court allowed jury intimidation to happen.

quote:

Let the appeals courts handle that one.

I agree. It was very bad optics, especially since the majority of the public don’t know that this action is part of his training. It is also quite possible that Chauvin is a biased cop. Chauvin had worked with him before, so knew him as what he was.

BLM got paid.

Based on what?

In the best case scenario for him, he knelt on a man’s neck “while”
that man died.

That’s the best case scenario.
