If what Derek Chauvin did was murder, this is definitely murder.

Derek Chauvin is innocent.

Still, things can be tragic and incompetent without being murder. Calling it murder doesn't accomplish anything. It was misplaced self-defense by incompetent LE.

Well I imagine whatever state this occurred in defines murder as intentionally killing someone, which is exactly what happened here

No it puts the only criminal in this scenario in jail.

What other violent criminals do you believe that arresting/jailing them "doesn't accomplish anything)?

It’s not “I’m gonna kill someone tonight” and then you do kinda murder.


It does seem like the “I’m a dumbass and did something stupid that got someone else killed” kinda murder.

Likely manslaughter.

Well good to see that after the Trump indictment and Perry conviction died down, bootlicking is back in fashion on here

So they never announced it to the innocent homeowner directly?
You've watched enough tv to know that what they did was "procedure".

You think announcing who they are minutes before when it's clear the homeowner didn't hear is enough?
The homeowner obviously heard the knock on the door...he got up!

You may want to "rethink your post.

Speaking of, there is new old video out on him that CNN trotted out.

It shows Chauvin using the exact same technique multiple times over many years. No one ever died.

This shows that in his mind that this was a normal thing and not particularly dangerous
and proves that he did not intend to kill St. George.

Naw. They fricked up and then quintupled down the frickups by killing an innocent person.

The cops were trespassing on property they had no legal right to be on. They had already violated this homeowner's rights before they murdered him.

If they aren't tried sincerely, it shows the real 2-tier justice system in America. LEO get to break the law, murder people, etc. without fear of reprisals.

I just do not understand how, when given 2 options:

1. Completely innocent homeowner breaking no laws

2. LEO who were illegally trespassing and creating a dangerous situation

People choose to defend option 2 instead of option 1

AMEN brother!
The fools who are belittling the LEOs on boards like this one, don't have a clue about what it's like to be a patrol officer, especially at night!


If someone watched this video without knowing the outcome, they may have done the exact same thing. It’s extremely easy to know how to respond if you know the outcome before you’re in the situation.

Regardless of who’s on the other side of the door, it’s extremely foolish to come outside with a firearm aimed at anyone without knowing who is there.

Between ride alongs and use of force simulators, you can gain a true respect for the decisions that have to be made split-second.

For the downvoters, I stick to my initial statement: I’m not going to make a judgment call on them until more pans out. Let a full investigation take place. Seems like a level-headed approach.

I actually agree if you think there’s an attempted intruder, it’s much safer to not open the door. However, I still think the cops are culpable. No excuse for going to the wrong house in the first place.

Clearly it wasn't for these idiots

If no DV was being committed, then yes, that's the point. You can't bring up how DV situations are dangerous (which they are) and then try to loop that to a scenario where DV wasn't a variable (since they weren't at the house they were called for DV).

I sue police for similar idiocy, bubba.

So which elements of "murder" were present? That will be a shorter list than a list of the elements that were missing.

I call your post "murder" then (although it's more like a limp-wristed serve at a gay resort sand volleyball game). since your post is murder, you should go to jail, and that accomplishes something.

Same logic.

For sure, they should catch all kinds of hell for this, it just isn't murder.
