The Trial of Derek Chauvin - Judgement(?) Day(?) has arrived!

[Dan Abrams]

"As a white guy, I think it's disgraceful that innocent black people can be arrested without there consent. We need to resist, and overthrow this corrupt racist white supremacist system that only exists to sustain colonial oppression. I'm done with this, it's time we stand up.

Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!"

Why didn't Floyd just breathe, like a normal person?

Fucking idiot

He did. He measured a completely normal rate of breath while dying of suffocation with a 98% blood saturation level.

that’s how we know he wasn’t on fent or meth

because when literally dying he breathed as much as you or I now

>being big isnt a threat

then why did it take 4 officers to take that gorilla down?

 

[HTTP Error 404]

"Me might be on something."

Nigger he WAS ON SOMETHING. He was on ALL THE THINGS. He was on enough fentanyl to kill a small horse or a large nigger. AND YES, DRUGGED OUT NIGGERS ARE DANGEROUS AS FUCK. IT IS A RISK. IT IS A THREAT. AND FORCE IS DEFINITELY AUTHORIZED.

Holy fuck.

 

[Carbonation Grimace]

the mental gymnastics of this 'risk ≠ threat' argument is killing me

 

[The Last Stand]

I do not like the "intentional" spin they're trying to do. It sounds like they're saying Chauvin INTENDED to kill Floyd.

That is obviously not the case. It was merely a subdue action to protect the officers' and oddly enough, the angry mob forming around the cops. What if Floyd was allowed to run amuck? People would be in danger.

 

[ConfederateIrishman]

If he walks could we see the fabled category 5 chimpout as fortold in the legends?

Yes, but I am extremely skeptical the Jury is not going to throw at least one charge at him in hopes it limits riots; Either way, Minneapolis is fucked no matter what, the only question this trail will answer is if the city dies over the next 4 years or it dies in the next 4 days.

 

[Salubrious]

Did the prosecution just argue that a giant black man being high on some unknown substance doesn't count as a threat?

 

[MugolEx]

Why is he keep coming back to saying George Floyd is big and being big isn't illegal? That makes him more of a threat when he nogs out.

 

[Rungle]

"HE WASNT RESISTING HE WAS JUST UNABLE TO COMPLY"
Couple minutes ago...
"SEE HE IS COMPLYING WITH THE COPS."

yes, your affluent whites will agree but anybody who has been in a city fill of them know this is just mental gymnastics

 

[Pizza Munch]

How long are these usually? I’ve started to tune this out a bit on accident

I swear to GOD these prosecutors are trying to turn Floyd into Michael Clarke Duncan from the Green Mile.

20-60 minutes is the average. And yah, that's a pretty wide margin.

"They were basically using a maximal restraint technique. You know the hobble? That's a maximal restraint technique. They didn't use it, because they reasonably assessed that they didn't need it based on the situation." What the hell is this mong going for?

 

[The Last Stand]

The comparisons to past civil rights injustices done in America to George Floyd is aggravating me to no end.

I think he's trying to give everyone on the jury an aneyurism.

That doesn't matter to them.

That's their namby-pamby wishy-washy way of saying he dindu nuffin

 

[Loosey Goosey]

"Don't miss the forest for the trees" is basically a complete contradiction of everything he's actually trying to get the jury to do.
