It doesn’t matter what the public wants, every person deserves a fair and impartial trial.
@GT Dude Nothing fair about this
Tell that to George Floyd.
@Matt Lockington On the street , his bad decisions got him there. If he had acted civil he would have got his day in court
@Kindachi Id tell George to STFU and do what you are told . His crying was ridiculous
they couldn’t even convict O.J Simpson or Casey Anthony or secure the death penalty for Charles Manson.
It’s not surprising and normal in murder charges
Get your peaceful protest hats on! Its gonna be a riot!
Where we going, to the capitol again??
@steven piquettE just stfu
@Erfan Maleki BLM hit the capitol a couple weeks back already! Killed a cop, because thats how they do. Burn, loot and murder.
@Boolivks ayo you need too check your privelage. Just because you have a maserati doesn’t mean we all do.
Don’t forget to BLM burn loot murder
The more interesting thing that happened today was the Pulmonologist on the witness stand that lied about testing hemoglobin saturation
Source?
Proof or source please? Interesting. 🤔
A defendant rarely takes the stand in any trial, this isn’t something new or shocking.
@Rundvelt Floyd told Chauvin, “I can’t breathe”. Chauvin knowing this kept his knee on his neck, intentionally. With that knowledge AND ignoring Floyd entirely, seems intentional to me. I believe you’re generalizing a lot of things to excuse Chauvin’s behaviour.
“Apprehended can mean a ton of different things” — let’s narrow it down. Unarmed, prone on the floor, and in cuffs. When does that require any additional force?
@Kindachi actually the use of force expert said that chauvin used less force then what was needed. He could have used a taser if he wanted to. Not to mention that a medical examiner implyed that carbon monoxide may have played a role in floyds death. Manslaughter might be on the table. murder is out.
@Cameron L At what point was it less force, before or after he was on the floor?
@Kindachi 6’7” imposing large male under the influence of drugs and non-compliant, with a lengthy Criminal record
@a_room_without_a_view 4 “trained” officers with tazers and guns. Chauvin with 18 previous complaints, 2 of which were closed with discipline. 1 should be enough for termination.
I’ts generally bad for the defendant to take the stand but especially bad in a trial like this that is embroiled in mob mentality. Chauvin regardless of trial outcome is going to have to go into hiding or have a new face made for him.
the peaceful protesters are coming out of their caves
Found the racist p.o.s ☝️
The homeless degenerates who expect handouts you mean?
If he is found not guilty, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that courthouse.
Courts very rarely convict police officers.
@Luka Milas You mean Juries of course and not Courts. Big Diff. No matter what happens it will not please the mob. Best keep away from Minneapolis and any big city.
yeah. that wont happen. i wouldnt worry about it.
@Luka Milas its very rare that a trial like this gets so much national attention. he wont walk.
Innocent or not his life will always be in danger
Id move to Montana were I him.
@LucVNO He Was Bold Enough To Perform The Act Then He Needs To Be Bold Enough To Stand In It! And Whatever The Consequences Are So Be It! There’s Absolutely No Need In Him Running Over To Another State! I’m Sure Those Folks Don’t Want No Trouble 👿 Are Bad Energy In Their City 🌃 He’s Bad News 📰
Imagine smirking
He’ll be found not guilty
Maybe he should have testify to clear up some issues, but then again maybe not, a little hard to over look he`s stair into the camera when his knees were on Floyd.
They both have agreed…5th amendment.
If he’s found not guilty and you live in Minnesota, then get the hell out of there. There’s gonna be some peaceful protests that you do not want to be near.
Riots regardless. No more respect for rioters and their supporters ever again.
That is His RIGHT. Period
Say hello to prison!!!
NOPE
I hope so
He seems pretty happy about it.
Have you seen Harry Paratestes?
Noticed in the body cam footage George complains about being not been able breath way before he was even on the ground. Can any explain why that was?
May he never see the light of day outside of a jail cell, ever again.
He should learn from Kim Potter to own up to his mistakes. Just an advice.
