The cops did nothing wrong. They went by the book. He died of a drug overdose and he KNEW he was going to die.

The cop shouldn’t have to argue anything.

The autopsy report was quite clear that the knee had nothing to do with anything.

Straight up drug overdose.

Notice how prosecutors asked for enhanced penalties. This is to force a plea deal. I’m not in his shoes, but I’d fight it all the way

There is no point in a jury worrying about fallout if they find the officers not guilty. The left has overplayed their hand. It is hard to threaten to have riots when riots have continued unabated since May.

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

charging Derek Chauvin with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

I still don't understand this. How is he getting three different charges for the same thing? He didn't kill three people, he had one guy die under him. There should only be one set of charges for that!

That said, I don't see how any of the charges will stick. He has a pretty solid defense methinks. The only charges I could possibly see being legit (for all the cops present) would be a failure to render aid after the dude stopped moving, but that's about it.

Uh yeah the knee was on his back not his neck.
He died of his drug OD and multiple medical problems
