IMO Derek Chauvin is a JERK.

That’s a brave stance to take. We need more people with your fortitude and righteousness. Please stand firm through the slings and arrows that will come your way.

I’m working my way up to publicly criticizing hate and bigotry in general. Fasten your seat belt! More edgy commentary incoming.

Gee. A cop who killed black guy doesn't merit secure housing. I wonder who the hell would?

Let's kill him before the sentence is reduced or part of the conviction is overturned.

Guilty, not guilty, the man did not receive a fair trial.

Just another milestone as we slouch our way into a fall.

[Mik]

No, he did not. Black and dead by cop is a sure ticket to sainthood.

I feel for the two cops who had been on the force for all of a couple of weeks and were charged. They got 3 year+ terms for obeying their supervisor.

Given the outsized female aversion to social shaming, a feminized culture might be expected to get suicidal in response to a viral shameful act.

Totally. And for me, even Chauvin's murder charge was too much. I could see involuntary manslaughter at the worst. But the ship has sailed on opinions or how history will remember the event.

I remember thinking the DA had overcharged the case and that they’d never be able to prove intent.

At least the irrational histrionic reaction was on the right side of history.

They released the name of the guy who stabbed him. Plot twist, didn’t sound like a black guy.

[jon-nyc]

He might just be a dick. Kind of seems like one. Cops aren’t usually that popular in prison anyway regardless of the circumstances.

[Mik]

No, he was affiliated with the Mexican cartels.

Former FBI informant too.

There is a documentary just released. Among the revelations is that Floyd had been saying he "couldn't breathe" even while he was standing up. He also had potentially fatal levels of opiates and meth in his system.

Loury and McWhorter discussed it on Loury's podcast released today. McWhorter's opinion on the incident shifted. Recognition was given to the fact that you still can't utter out loud that maybe the cops didn't receive fair justice. Welcome to Joe Biden's America.

They (everyone) knew Floyd was high as a kite, probably lethaly high, as soon as the post results were out. For the most part, it was ignored by Dems and the MSM.

Floyd was a convenient death.

That seems to me a fact that would have worsened the case against Chauvin. The last thing you should do to someone who can’t breathe is put your weight on his neck.

Not to pull the card, but haven't we (or I) been saying that this whole time? Watch the full video, he's sitting in the cop car going "i can't breathe" and also while standing, so it had nothing directly to do with Chauvin at least initially. It's a phrase cops hear ALL THE TIME to try and get away from being arrested or pinned down. He's moving his head and talking too... which usually includes breathing. And yes, he was resisting arrest, and full of drugs. Anyway.....deep breath 89th........not saying Chauvin behaved perfectly, but if you watch the video and come away with "he murdered him", it's really a leap of logic IMO. But then again, skin color.

Speed, weed and Fentanyl.

Dude was high as a kite, with SS trait and cardiac problems.

SS trait

I wasn't aware of that. I wonder if that contributed to his demise.

Possible.

While findings are consistent post-mortem for a person with SS trait, I have seen sickle cells on peripheral smears of patients with the trait. Add in oxygen deprivation for whatever reason, and I could see enough cells sickling to have some impact.

I think it's a really good question that was not explored sufficiently.
