Personally, I think you won’t find him guilty of manslaughter or assault. What you could get him on is improper conduct. Him and the other officers did not get Floyd into the resting position. I think the jury might prosecute him very lightly because they don’t want riots and so they can’t let him go free, but they don’t want to put an innocent man in jail for something he didn’t do.

In all regards, trying to have the jury dismiss the autopsy, is likely to come back to bite the prosecution in the long run.

I wouldn't find him guilty of anything. I'd let him walk, especially now. Not guilty. I would not change my position.

I don’t want him guilty for things he did not do beyond a reasonable doubt. So long as a reasonable doubt exists, I cannot find him guilty on that stuff. And right now, a lot of reasonable doubt exists for me personally, so I can’t find him guilty.

Even the improper conduct charge is something to be said, as the ambulance arrived when Chauvin was supposed to do the recovery position. An ambulance that he and the other officers called for, btw.

You still want to play the rules. Why? They are not. There are no rules. Only victory and power. Once you realize that, you will understand. If you don't think that way, the other side does, and they will win. In fact, they have already won in every single way because they think that way.

God exists and Cosmic Justice exists.

I ask myself sometimes what would happen if we gave in to total chaos and everyone on both political side started not playing by any rules. It would be the end of society and order. I like order and I like people in society. So I play by the rules, because it is beneficial for me. The issue is that I have areas where I say no more.

That is what makes me different from the left: they think violence and chaos is a knob you can dial up and down. I think it is an absolute up to a point. I will be orderly as long as others remain orderly, but once things go beyond what I accept, I fight chaos with chaos.
