    Everyone in American saw officer Derek Chauvin murder George Floyd. If you didn't see a murder happening , then you must have not been looking at the same video as the rest of us.

    By-standers saw what was happening and they spoke out. Numerous cell phone angles were taken.

    There is absolutely no reason for a cop to press his knee into a suspects neck FOR NINE MINUTES, when the suspect is handcuffed, and laying prone, flat out on the ground and totally helpless.

    The trial jury saw everything we did, and probably more. Additionally, medical evidence proved that Floyd died because of a lack of oxygen. THAT is why they found Chauvin guilty of murder and why Chauvin is now in prison.

    You are a liberal politician's dream, Richard. You believe what you're told without questioning anything. You don't look for facts; rather you simply wait to be told what position you're supposed to hold, and then you steadfastly avert your eyes and your brain from anything to the contrary. You're scared when they tell you to be scared, you're angry when they want you to be angry, and you believe whatever they tell you. That's the way it seems, anyhow.

    His autopsy says that he died after 9pm that night, from drug overdose. Read the paper I posted with the autopsy results, and then comment, @Richard Whiting . Post #63, and click to enlarge the photo of the autopsy report.

    The first paramedic who arrived on scene, testified that Floyd had no pulse by the time he was placed in the ambulance. At the hospital, Drs. tried to revive him BUT it was waaay too late.

    In any event, Floyd had stopped moving , and Chauvin continued to press his knee into Floyds neck for a full one minute and 20 seconds AFTER the ambulance arrived.

    Yeah, the defense TRIED to prove Floyd died of a drug overdose , but the jury didn't buy it.

    I didn't buy it either. Chauvin is right where he belongs.

    There is no reason to insult me.
    You have absolutely no idea of how much I have looked into this. I think I have read/viewed every possible aspect of what happened to Floyd. INCLUDING, what the defense had to say.

    You're absolutely right, but the only ways to avoid that would be to lie or to disengage.

    Lie ? About what ?
    Disengage ? You have that right.

    OR, you could simply understand that Chauvin, did indeed , murder George Floyd. Honestly, Ken, you know as well as I do that police do , in fact, kill people once the suspect is fully under control. The only difference here is that Chauvin was so arrogant to believe he could get away with murder in full view of dozens of witnesses who had camera cell phones.

    Try to keep one thing in mind. Derek Chauvin had a fair trial and was found guilty of murder. No changing that fact.

    I don't know what happened there, only that he was still breathing when he said he couldn't breathe, and that you couldn't possibly know what happened. You believe he was murdered because the media told you to believe that he was murdered.

    Tell that to all the people who spent decades in prison before being proven innocent.

    And you want to believe he wasn't murdered because you are so pro cop, you refuse to believe a cop would commit a crime.
    Any cops in your family?

    You pay so little attention that I won't waste my time.

    Why did four police turn up for a report of a $20 counterfeit bill.?

    Why arrest him for a counterfeit bill.?

    Why go on to murder him then.?

    1. Floyd already had a reputation and if you’ve ever seen someone on meth, more than one cop is needed for an arrest.
    Note: I would like to see a transcript of the telephone call from the store owner to the police dispatcher.

    2. Dunno about across the pond but counterfeiting or passing counterfeit bills is highly illegal in the states.

    3. None of the three charges Chauvin was tried for were based on “intent”.
