I expect something like the Saint George Floyd death to be used again before the election to help the marxist democRATs.
Everything you need to know about Saint George of Floyd is answered by the question, “would anyone know the name George Floyd if Derek Chauvin was black and George Floyd was white”.
Google and watch the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis and you’ll see what a sham the whole thing was. No way should the cops be in jail.
What I remember most about that case was the zeal with which Chauvin was tried and convicted on FR. By people with absolutely no experience in or understanding of what went down.
“...One way to understand how Democrat politics operate is to look back at the political corruption surrounding George Floyd’s death...”
“death”? Suicide by cop is more like it!
As far as Liberal political corruption is concerned, it’s like the man said:
‘Depart from the book at your own peril.’
The BLM Goons helped Dems last time but I don’t know if the Palestine Fan club will get Biden extra votes, if anything it looks like it might hurt his chances
Until the WHITE guy you railroaded for murder is released and recouped!
MPLS PD Officer Chauvin was negligent; re Mr. Floyd and re MPLS PD procedure.
Officer Chauvin and Mr. Floyd both contributed to the death of Mr. Floyd.
Mr. Floyd’s contribution to his own death was the larger of the two. He would possibly have lived through and beyond that day, if not for Officer Chauvin’s negligence, but Mr. Floyd’s life span was probably getting shorter by his [Floyd’s] own hand.
Minneapolis went politically-correct in the 1970’s, and that contributed to the decay resulting from the energy-cost boost that in turn, resulted in The Rust Belt recession and inflation heading into the 1980’s.
“Enlightened liberal” theories and social gatherings, driving DEI vs. “the disparity.” The downtown area was a ghost town.
A common sense statement about economics would elicit anguish on the faces of socialists [aka Democrats] who languished in, or raised in obediance to, “DFL” dogma against “the man.”
There was an area south of the downtown, that careful people avoided. But that apparently grew to dominate the southside over the decades after I left town.
I arrived late at a friend’s house in another state, and on the TV, the election results showed Ronald Reagan winning by a landslide.
Intimidation of jurors was evident from the beginning with one prospective juror bluntly saying he felt threatened that his name, workplace and family details would be leaked to the mob. The trial should have been moved from Minneapolis to somewhere else in the state to at least be given a semblance of being impartial.
“They’re Lying” by Liz Collins is an excellent book on what really happened around the death of Floyd. I can only read a few pages at a time because it drives my blood pressure sky high.
Dr. Roger Mitchell, the then-medical examiner and Deputy Mayor for D.C., should be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. The man should forever be denigrated as a traitor to the United States.
If you actually can’t breath, you are unable to say, much less shout, “I can’t breath.”
The knee-restraint Chauvin used was taught by the Minneapolis Police Dept and was in their instruction manual given to MPD cops
First of all, a force perpendicular to the spine puts a shear load on the spine, not a compression load, at least in a strict sense. The amount of force on the spine would be a function of the the amount of Chauvin’s body weight was supported by the left knee. Did the prosecution or defense show an analysis of how much load could have been on the left knee and thus the spine? Chauvin’s body weight had four possible support points, both knees and both feet. From what I was able to see from the body cam videos, the feet were in a position to support a load, as well as the right knee. The hands did not appeared to be significantly involved (but I didn’t watch all of the available videos). Slight changes to the position of Chauvin’s torso could likely cause a significant change to the force exerted by the left knee. The point I’m trying to make is that it is doubtful most of Chauvin’s weight was on the left knee.
