Officer's Motion To Dismiss In Floyd Trial Reveals Body Cam Transcripts, Training Materials | MSNBC
Here is the problem with using this evidence as a defense. George is shown as anything but aggressive and a danger. He is pleading, he is trying to explain, he is cooperating and he is dying. Congratualtions officer you have protected the public from a gentle man recovering from COVID-19.
@BAD BIRD yet still he had more merit than you
@BAD BIRD you use lower a lot, you post while looking in the mirror
D W keep thinking that way you will amount to him
D W hey loser , it’s not lower duh
D W yet I own my own business, raised a son to be a marine . And never was in prison . And George is a dead loser who dies trying to pass fake bill while high on meth. . So typical for you losers to worship losers. I bet you wanted to join chaz
They killed him!!!!!
He was a loser , so it’s no great loss
BAD BIRD you sound like a still living loser! 💩
They murdered him with deliberation and cowardly cruelty.
Mainely he was still a loser . So the community is better off without him
Marlon Burnett hey moron do winners go to jail for holding a gun to a pregnant woman ? No they don’t . And that’s what that loser went to prison for
Local Police: Come for the bigotry, stay for the power trip.
Well George was a loser so it’s no big loss . Actually the community is better off without him

BAD BIRD When we apply that same rule to your pale meth heads in the community and we stop seeing you guys claim they are not criminals and need help instead of jail I will take you seriously then!
Sirius B well let’s see if you actually look up who gets killed more by the cops white or black you will see it’s white ppl . I hate to burst your bubble on thinking only black ppl get killed by the cops . But if you don’t believe me I could always drop you the link to the FBI data base of stats
George Floyd got killed for no reason, he was handcuffed and nailed on the ground.
He was a loser
Oba***Man
Looks like you triggered a troll.
Sean D just laying down the facts for the mentally challenged.
Sean D but I know you don’t believe facts you ppl work off of feelings. Derrr
@BAD BIRD no irony in the fact that even he as a criminal spared the womans life but the police couldn’t spare his, yet you don’t talk about the personal history of the cops.
Those officers took the law in their hands.
No human deserve to die for using fake money
I agree he didn’t deserve to die that way. But is it true that the procedure the officer followed, was the prescribed one by his police department? If so, it seems blatantly stupid, but it might put a different spin on this case.
Oba*** Man he was a loser , here is proof https://www.newsbreak.com/minnesota/minneapolis/news/0PFhIs2c/george-floyd-criminal-past-arrest-timelinehistoryrecord-of-robbery-baggie-gun-pregnant-and-all-details
A life for a life, I have seen no evidence that George Floyd was a murderer, he did not deserve to be murdered.
@janine Chase-Russel Wow, doesn’t surprise me at all.
@BAD BIRD smarter than you apparently. When did you quit school, grade 8? Is that why you’re such a hateful person?
Chauvin’s wife told us all we need to know about what kind of person he is. She ditched him immediately and filed for a divorce. Even his own wife wants nothing to do with him.
@Sparky’s Space amen. You are so right.
@Collin Wicker yes you are so right in everything you say.
@BAD BIRD it even says it was an alleged crime and you know all African Americans look a like so maybe it wasn’t even him.
@D W I see the troll you did….troll
BAD BIRD- Washington Times? Lol. That’s not a legit source.
It’s funny that jokers like you ignore every major peer reviewed and respected media source for some right wing rag and expect anyone to take you seriously. Lol.
Oh that officer did assist, he assisted in killing him and it’s on video for the World to see!!
Huh here is your proof https://www.newsbreak.com/minnesota/minneapolis/news/0PFhIs2c/george-floyd-criminal-past-arrest-timelinehistoryrecord-of-robbery-baggie-gun-pregnant-and-all-details
That the officer killed him appears not to be in dispute. But far too many people have made up their minds on the full story, before we’ve heard the full facts.
@BAD BIRD you trained trumpanzees are too ignorant to realize you’re trained. It’s hilarious to see that you can’t dispute anything about what happened to him, so fox, breitbart, and OAN has you stuck deflecting with irrelevancies. 😂😂😂 #JustShhh
@BAD BIRD It doesnt matter even if true. He had already paid for his past crimes with prison time. This was completelynew thing that didnt deserve murder
@BAD BIRD yet still he had more merit than you
The “training manual” says put them in a recovery position to avoid ASPHYXIA. Derek can’t read. Neither can the president. Yet they are in powerful positions. So stupid smh

Thanks for explaining the real rules the police officers are supposed to obey.
Yourlife Endsnow tinfoil hat? Urine jars? K.
Did training say hold your knee on his neck for 9 minutes, BLM 💜
With all your weight and keep all you weight on his neck 3 minutes after he passes?
Parris Price he was a loser anyways so it’s no big loss . Winner don’t end up in jail for holding a gun to a pregnant woman
@BAD BIRD He had already been punished for that, didnt deserve death
Americans are so conditioned by the militarised police state they have designed that this poor man basically co-operated while these men were murdering him because he thought it was the only chance he had at survival. Its desperately sad.
I don’t think this has to do with a militarized police state. I think it had to do with racism, and fear based on implicit bias.
I can see how a policeman may interpret a suspects complaints as an excuse to get away. Note: I haven’t watched any videos on it. He was probably showing more signs of distress than just complaining.
I can’t see, how a policeman can choke a man who is in handcuffs for 9 minutes. That is police brutality. That man should not have died, but even if he lived those police should go to jail.
And u sided with the serpent left antichrist network which is the devils legion, you piece of trash
@Yourlife Endsnow
There is no evidence for the existence of God. There is no such thing as devils or an anti-christ. There isn’t even evidence for a Christ.
How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you spout off fairy-tales?
He knew he was going to die, and he was murdered, everything before that means nothing to me, what ever his crimes, he paid the highest price, do not dismiss any of their cases, make them face a Jury.
He was a loser anyways, no big loss
@BAD BIRD Tell that to the former Officers sitting in jail, they probably feel a significant loss, had one of them been competent, they would all be alive and free.
Soon we will hear from policeman’s attorney that Mr. Floyd escape like Houdini attack them like a ninja and they are just poor snow white princesses (sarcasm)
Zuza U. George was a loser . So it’s no great loss that’s he is dead . Actually it makes the community a better place. Here is proof that he was a loser https://www.newsbreak.com/minnesota/minneapolis/news/0PFhIs2c/george-floyd-criminal-past-arrest-timelinehistoryrecord-of-robbery-baggie-gun-pregnant-and-all-details
No. No. No. the officers must get life or the death penalty.
Yet chauvin was “grinding” his knee into his neck, you could see him TRYING to inflict injury.
Yeah, the only difference is when they’re ( cops) training their not killing fellow officers! Or applying deadly amounts of pressure on their necks!
at the top was trying to assistant he would have taken his knee off of his neck instead of leaving it there and murdering him
I highly doubt the training manual says to kneel on the person’s neck even though you’re aware that they can’t breath and continue to kneel on their neck three minutes after you find out they don’t have a heartbeat.
Just for clarification: The knee is supposed to be on the shoulder blade. Placing the knee on the back or the neck can damage the spine and undue pressure on the heart and lungs. It is supposed to be used to apply downward pressure to control that arm while the officer is placing the cuffs on. The officer is then SUPPOSED to relive pressure and put the prisoner in a sitting position, cross-legged, immediately afterwards. In all of my years, I’ve always found that the Police departments were usually the most unprofessional in any given area. Something about the badge I guess….
Thank you for the clarification on the rules. I wish more people would pay attention to what true police officers are trained to do.

If he wanted to help, why didn’t he shove Chauvin off of Floyd? The simple fact that Chauvin and Floyd used to work together just makes this whole thing seem like payback by murder. This was over a fake $20 bill. Seems like an excuse to harm Floyd. They don’t assume the person with the counter fit bill is guilty. Usually they try to track down it’s place of origin.
