Might be a bit too simplistic (for me), but the part about the videos around is interesting and important. Why ever would a cop deliberately kill someone with many witnesses with cameras filming all around? That in itself does not make sense. Not for eight minutes. Could Derek Chauvin have removed his knee? What does protocol say then? What if George Floyd had died anyway, would it have been Derek Chauvin's fault for not following protocol?
When I read the MSM's narrative of this, it kind of makes me shudder. You can see they're psychologically preparing people for riots to come; they do not report on the technique used by the police itself, but quote teary-eyed witnesses after teary-eyed witnesses. People will be outraged if Derek Chauvin is acquitted, and the MSM, as usual, has a lot of responsibility in that.
It was so obvious too. There was a large crowd, so tons of witnesses. He definitely knew he was being filmed.
He was simply doing what he was taught to do. If there's a problem with the technique (there isn't) then change the training.
And don't forget Keith Ellison and the police chief's role in this, the former holding back the toxicology report and the latter lying about the protocol for restraining people who are under arrest.
At one point in the video of Chauvin, he looks at the people watching and says something like, "Don't do drugs, kids."
When I first heard that, without any context, it seemed like Chauvin was being nasty, and mocking Floyd and the people watching.
But, once I knew (from the bodycam footage and toxicology report) that Floyd was being held because he was freaking out from an overdose, I realized that Chauvin was trying to tell the people what was happening, even though he couldn't say it directly.
As to the MSM narrative, even after the bodycam footage and toxicology report came out, I have heard PBS Frontline and CNN's Amanpour, among others, say that Chauvin murdered Floyd, without using the word "allegedly," or giving any hint of doubt.
The Mainstream Media wants a Race War, because it suits the Left's plans for a Communist Revolution in America.
