He just did a 15 minute opening RAILING against BLM. He has got to be the only brave person left in politics. I'm dying for someone to take his advice and stand up against this insanity. something has to be done. If Trump got rid of Pence and stuck Tucker on his ticket as VP he'd win in a landslide. I'd personally run through a brick wall to vote.
PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
There's a completely different angle to this which the bodycam footage needs to be released to discover. First Responders train for something called "excited delerium" (or maybe a little different?) which they are trained is a death sentence unless you restrain the perp until EMTs arrive.
The whole thing sounds fishy to me but even if it's wrong and they're trained that way, that changes the whole scene. Which is why we don't rush to judgment.
Mayor will likely never release the bodycam footage and sacrifice 4 cops instead. Injustice. This whole thing may be fake and Floyd is still alive. We should pour over the available footage and look for inconsistencies that indicate the same perp was not involved throughout.
I think manipulating public opinion by hyping selectively cut video clips is a lot more plausible than employing actors to fake such things. I remember seeing a Medium post on T_D that talked about EDS and other facts that may get Chauvin and the others off the hook. Pretty crazy that they may have just been following best practice and their hands were tied by department policy...
Yeah this whole thing seems dirty. I have no idea how "selectively cut" the video I've seen is, of course. This is the main thing BLM ever achieved, is having cops wear bodycams. Lots of jurisdictions require it be turned on and run continuously from one point in any contact with the public to another. Strict, but it's designed to rule out these questions.
Not pressing for that footage with Chauvin is just the strangest thing.
Agreed. Obviously it somehow weakens the leftist narrative so they aren't letting it out.
"They" being the Mayor. I don't know if anybody else is even significant, but the chief of Police and Governor are of the same mind.
Although to be fair if it were me instead of Chauvin, and I thought Floyd would die due to excited delirium, I'd tell him EMTs have already been called and that he's going to die if he doesn't settle down and the only thing I can do to help him is hold him still and wait till the EMTs arrive. I'd make a big point of trying to talk him down, and I don't see that Chauvin even tried.
Granted, a criminal may not believe this any more than a cop believes somebody saying they can't breathe, but I don't see Chauvin in any way trying to convince Floyd that they're allies, trying to save his life.
The whole thing sucks. Especially if those cops really WERE trying to save his life. Under that scenario they failed, were completely misrepresented, and major parts of our Country are effectively in a Civil War over it. Except nobody's fighting back. Anywhere people are holding the line, they succeed. And violence never breaks out. (That info is out of date and might be false by now? Idk)
