Floyd, basically, was lynched. In broad daylight. For 9.5 minutes. For 3 minutes after Floyd stopped breathing. With literally zero explanation or rationale for the cop's behavior. In front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. And while being video-taped by multiple cameras. On a 1-10 scale of murder case slam-dunkedness, Floyd's case is an 11.
So what does that tell us?
1. Chauvin presumably only did this believing that he could get away with it.
2. In fact, Chauvin did get away with it before! DOJ is now looking into the excluded evidence (including body cam video!) of a 2017 incident where Chauvin choked a kid to unconsciousness, then "Floyd-ed" him (face down on floor, handcuffs behind back, knee restraint) for 9 minutes (neck) and then 8 minutes (back). Luckily, kid did not die. Video never released. Zero action taken against Chauvin. Only coming to light now -- four forking years later.
3. Even turned up to 11, many people were (reasonably) quite surprised/relieved that Chauvin was convicted. Because it hardly ever happens. Even with mountains of evidence.
4. We all know that absent eye witness video tape (a fairly recent phenomenon), Chauvin totally walks. I mean he walked in 2017 WITH video! No way he gets convicted just on the basis of a dozen eyewitnesses.
5. Look at the MPD read out of the incident -- medical distress.... Without the cell phone video going viral, the cover-up and fix were in and would have worked.
So...respectfully...STFU and please go away. Your racist troll-ness are not welcome here. Shouldn't be welcome anywhere else either.
Do you ever post about any murder in any city at any time other than the much rarer occasion when a cop is involved? I mean, there sure are a ton of opportunities to weigh in about horrific murders, committed by horrific humans.
Point me to any post of yours EVER which evidences such concern about any murder other than when you feel the ego need to spread your plumage to virtue signal to other like-minded dummies. Thx.
