There were countless outraged Freepers when the story first came out.

“Absolutely Shocking”

I think the Free Republic got the jump on this story months ago. I recall somebody posting this was in their training manual. Not sure if I am absolutely shocked, should I be.

I still have some questions about what I saw, and about whether they knew each other. But its looking better for Chauvin all the time. They’ll probably drag this thing out until people have forgotten, then try to get him to cop a plea, and then finally drop it. But you notice they prosecutors kicked the can way down the road. That gets us past the election.

The guy overdosed, not even sure why this is germane. Charges should be dropped.

Plus the fentanyl. At the time I remember reading, and seeing photos, of cops using the exact same method in many other places.

Perhaps they need to charge the leadership of the police department and the city with murder as well. After all they trained these officers to treat Americans like animals.

Floyd killed himself by overdose and it there is no way a murder charge will stick.

So why did Chauvin continue holding his knee on Floyd’s neck after he became unresponsive?


And that is the key question. There was a lot of distortion and Floyd was no innocent, but this part is much harder to overcome in defense.

This has been known for a very long time, how is it shocking? Besides, he died of a fentanyl overdose.

The damage has been done.To the American people, a/l/a the American media, George has been ordained with all the perks that entails. The American Police have been dubbed the Arch Villains. And since the Americans get their information, news,and instructions directly from the info babes on the local media, the call will stand through the ages.

In reality, the people's perception of the Police drastically once the young and Bernie Sanders fools vote in Socialism and dedicated Socialists rise to the top. And the Police morph into the old NKVD mold. At the sight of them or the mere of their name, their bowels will turn to water. They will soil their clothing.

I am “absolutely shocked” that something that has been known for a long time would be posted with that title.

Saw this dealt with at the outset. George exxentially killed himself through stupid moves.. But that doesn't matter, for he was a nothing, but accomplished the job of providing an excuse at the right time for clever enemies of our society to find an oppotunistic excuse for their criminal manipulation of blacks and dumber-down millennials into heady terroristic thrills.

Zeroes have a definite place in modern engineering and accounting.

I used to trust & believe judges would seek to be honest & lawful.
After all the FISA and General Flynn treachery I now know that is not so.
With that in mind Chauvin will be sacrificed to keep the shopping malls from burning, again.

The only thing I know is a conviction will not be a slam dunk. Knee on neck is approved procedure and foaming at the mouth was a sign of pulmonary edema which is caused by opioid overdose.

Be prepared and make sure you and your family are in a safe place on the day of the verdict.

An arm lock or come along are legal control moves but you don’t have the right to break their elbow or thumb in doing so.

He died of a drug overdose.... and would have died even if he was not arrested. Opioid killed Floyd.

That's the question.

There was talk early on about that particular 'hold' being a part of departmental policy, which is why he'll probably walk. I personally think he showed extreme indifference to the person under his power. I wouldn't want to ever see him act as a cop again.

I don’t mean to rub it in, but I was one of the first here to INSIST that George Floyd KILLED HIMSELF and that the cops did NOTHING WRONG!

I said it “LOOKED BAD” but that doesn’t matter how people THINK it LOOKS!

He followed PROCEDURE! He did HIS JOB!

Saint George Floyd was a POS! Drug addict, two time felon with a firearm! Piece of EXCREMENT!

GOOD RIDDANCE you POS!

We have had our nation turned upside down because of this lowlife piece of SHITE!

He’s caused even MORE trouble DEAD, than he did alive!

And that other lowlife POS, Saint Jacob Blake. ASKED to be SHOT! DESERVED to be shot. If I were in that cops shoes, I would have shot him SOONER!

More riots over a another lowlife piece of SHITE!

Are Black people BLIND?

Hopefully, this will be successfully used in a court of law to defend the officers. Using it as a public argument with rioters and the people who support them? Save your breathe.
