Governor Walz is disgraceful. He and Mayor Walz ALLOWED rioters to destroy Minneapolis. They told police to stand down.

Excited delirium.

That information along with their police handbook saying George Floyd met the requirements for an unconscious neck restraint, I never thought any kind of murder charge would stick. Remember the Bongino rule.

Edit: Archive link to handbook before they changed it. section 5-311 is pertinent.

idkfa 10 points ago +10 / -0

You should make a post with this information. I suspected this was an approved method of restraint, as I saw other officers use it.
Chauvin's right knee held his body weight, while he used the left one for the "conscious neck restraint".
Chauvin might be a bad egg -- but he did nothing wrong in Floyd's case.

And add in the fact the police weren't called over a fake twenty, they were called because Floyd was drugged out of his mind. The case was a loser from the day it appeared in the media.

TONS of interesting info in this article. Like, a lot... Just in case I made an archive link, found here - http://archive.is/LzO1t

  • He demands to see Floyd’s hands at least ten times while Floyd is seated in the vehicle

  • He also tells officers he just had COVID

  • Prior to getting Floyd to the ground he says he can’t breathe multiple times.

  • The store manager explains what happened and that they confiscated one – twenty dollar bill but that he had a lot more with him.

Bigger picture, the fact that you have to say "if you can find it" is proof of the fact that our media does not exist to inform. This is an issue that is literally tearing the country apart. A media interested in informing would have the primary materials available in this case readily available.

Yes, but not kneeling on his neck. The cop fucked up even if this piece of trash was overdosing on drugs while sick with covid.

The officer may not be found guilty of Floyd’s death, but let’s not pretend he was kneeling on the meth heads neck for his safety.

WinterDog 8 points ago +8 / -0

Read the transcript. Floyd was saying he couldn't breathe well before the officers put him on the ground. He was talking, moving, thrashing, yelling, so it was obvious he could breathe.

A neck restraint is one of the safest ways to restrain someone. Tasers and blunt trauma are way more likely to kill.

It is unfortunate that Floyd was high on both meth and fentanyl and had two nearly blocked coronary arteries, and had recently had the Kung Flu, and a violent history of committing felonies, that he himself requested to be moved to the ground after violently resisting, and that the cop accidentally killed him by performing a normal neck restraint. But the autopsy did not find any indication of asphyxiation. Chavuin should get a manslaughter charge (same way you would get a manslaughter charge if you were driving and accidentally hit a biker: clearly you did not intend to murder that person but you can still be held accountable for your negligence).

The other cops were good cops, and they better walk away free.

Restrained yes, getting a knee to the next for 9 minutes with 4 cops on the scene? No

CancelBLM 14 points ago +14 / -0

George Floyd was exactly the kind of person who deserved that.

His criminal past, he was in the process of committing felonies, he was high on meth and fentanyl, he didn't even respect his own body enough to take care of it.

He played stupid games. He was treated with dignity and respect by the officers. He won stupid prizes because of his behavior.

rangers24 -16 points ago +2 / -18

Yeah I think he’s a piece of shit too, still doesn’t deserve to die like that though.

No reason to knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes in that situation.

CancelBLM 11 points ago +11 / -0

There are lots of reasons

Officer safety

Safety of others

Being outnumbered

Getting to go home and see your kids

The person being 10" taller and 80lbs heavier than you.

Plenty of reasons. In fact, he was one of the best possible candidates for how he died.

rangers24 -13 points ago +2 / -15

There are lots of reasons Officer Safety

They seemed pretty safe during the almost 9 minute video. 3 of them were able to stand around and watch.

Safety of others

The people standing around the officers seemed pretty safe. Floyd was restrained on the ground for almost 9 minutes without moving.

Being outnumbered

Floyd was outnumbered 4-1....

Getting to go home and see your kids

Otherwise known as officer safety?

The person being 10" taller and 80lbs heavier than you.

That’s valid, except for the part where there’s 4 other officers there to assist. Chauvin wasn’t on scene alone.

Plenty of reasons

And none of them are valid...

In fact, he was one of the best possible candidates for how he died.

Sorry I don’t wish death on my fellow Americans. He may be a piece of shit, he may not deserve to even be alive. Doesn’t deserve to die like that.

Not how it works. You don’t get to knee on a guys neck for 9 minutes while two officers stand there. One was already on crowd control and he had them staying back.

WinterDog 6 points ago +6 / -0

You realize that an unconscious neck restraint is one of the safest ways to restrain someone who is violently thrashing around? A taser or blunt trauma is 10 times more likely to kill the subject then a choke hold? You realize that the officers attempted to put Floyd into the squad car for 10 minutes and he refused? And that Floyd himself requested to be put on the ground? And that the autopsy found no signs of asphyxiation, but instead rules that he died from cardiopulmonary arrest, which is commonly associated with fentanyl overdosing, and that he had both meth and fentanyl in his system when he died, and that, prior to moving him to the ground, Floyd was foaming from the mouth and saying he couldn't breathe multiple times, even with no officers touching him?

And keep in mind, the autopsy report for Jeffery Epstein said he "committed suicide" lol, so the "homicide" conclusion from Floyd's autopsy could be just as wrong / political. The fact that the Minneapolis AG still refuses to release the body cam footage from the cops is evidence of how political this situation is. If the body cam footage showed misconduct from the cops, they would have released it. But they didn't and they haven't. Why? Why was the body cam footage from the cops in Atlanta released 2 days after, in full, and it's been weeks and weeks and we still haven't seen the body cam footage from Minneapolis? Are they trying to make sure the public doesn't see it? Why?

Floyd didn't deserve to die. But I don't blame the officers one bit. They followed their training. A neck restraint, even one held for 30 minutes, would not kill the average person. Bad luck that Floyd happened to die from his own health problems while being placed under one.

rangers24 -2 points ago +2 / -4

“Unconscious neck restraint” = kneeling on someone’s neck for 9 minutes?

Get the fuck out of here lol

My whole point is the knee on the neck was not necessary. I do not give a single fuck what happened before that recording started. What I care about it why Chauvin kneeled on his neck for 9 minutes while he had 3 other officers there for backup. There were multiple better options for restraining Floyd. If you don’t agree with that then you’re just being ignorant

I do have grounds to judge the incident. I saw a cop knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes with 3 other officers present.

How can say kneeing on his neck for almost 9 minutes is justifiable? Regardless of the footage from before, he is cuffed, there are 3 other officers there than can help retrain him.

Absolutely no reason to knee on his neck for that long. Knee on his hips and have someone straddling his back if necessary.

rangers24 -8 points ago +2 / -10

I do not care if he wasn’t putting his full weight on his neck. There was no reason to be in that position on top of him. He should of had 0 knees on his neck in that situation.

Why do you think holding him down with a knee to the neck was the best method of restraining him?

rangers24 -8 points ago +2 / -10

So because he may of possibly banged his own head on the ground you stop that by kneeing on his neck? Not how that’s done, sorry.

I don’t care he was high on drugs, there’s 3 other officers there to assist. No reason for one officer to knee on his neck getting him killed in the process.

We know the context. The guy gets caught using counterfeit cash, he’s a violent felon. They go to put him in the car and his high as a kite mind realizes that he’s about to go to prison so he loses his shit. They rightfully take him to the ground and while the knee on the neck may of been necessary in the moment to restrain him, it should of been removed and both the other officers standing next to him should of assisted Chauvin in restraining Floyd.

james43552352345 1 point ago +1 / -0

From what I've read. It is actually police policy to restrain someone like that. The reason is because if the person is bobbing their head up and down uncontrollably then they're basically going to bash their face in. That's why Chauvin held him down until the EMT arrived.

1
StaryHickory 1 point ago +1 / -0

The restraint did not kill him and is not harmful. So who cares? The knee had only enough pressure to keep his head secure. He died from drugs and physical exertion, and was dying well before he went to the ground. You fail.

Try and Ill beat the shit out of you. If you are under arrest and resist unpleasant things happen to you. You act as if a criminal resisting arrest should feel no measure of discomfort ever.

I never said a criminal resisting arrest should never feel discomfort, you put those words in my mouth. What I did say though is that kneeing on his neck for 9 minutes with 3 other officers on scene is ridiculous. If you are unable to even see a single flaw in that you need to do some more thinking.

  1. Trust I am not worried. I think I'd be fine
  2. Well quit saying ignorant krap

They were detaining him as countless others have been detained. But here is where your ignorance comes in. The hold is not lethal, its not the most comfortable thing to have happen to you but considering the circumstances who cares?

You lack knowledge of how and why the technique is applied. You seem to think Chauvin was kneeling on this guys neck with his full weight. This is why you are ignorant. And you seem to think this is what caused his death. Again this is ignorance.

1
rangers24 1 point ago +1 / -0

Considering the circumstances? You act like Floyd had a gun and they were wrestling for control of it. The guy was unarmed and there were 3 other cops there.

How am I ignorant for saying that the situation is mishandled? You have your blinders on. You can criticize the police, it’s okay. It doesn’t mean you don’t support them overall to point out how something they did is fucked up.

Can you show me where this is a trained technique in their department?

It's pretty clear that the cops were dealing with a drugged up, chaotic individual. This is going to be devastating for any charges against them. Next question, how do the BLM/Progressive/Antifa types react? I imagine they'll just say, "So what!" and continue burning.

TheContrarian2 2 points ago +2 / -0

A fair trial would require a brave and honest judiciary and jury. My ONLY hope would be for the jury, but there is a jury selection process that will pollute that. And any juror that goes 'against the grain' will suffer repercussions because this is such a high profile trial.

It sucks. Cancel culture, etc. It doesn't make this better or truth more accessible.

Minneapolis is a leftist city, so the leftist policies and people govern the release and handling of the video evidence. The only reason for suppression of the video evidence is because its exculpatory, and they have known this since Floyd's death. If it could have been used to further the narrative that police are out of control, it would have been on every fake-news channel on repeat for the last couple months, whipping the mob up into an even greater hysteria.

But nada. Thats as good as gold when it comes to proving the innocence of the officers. Imagine the butthurt to come..

Leftist policies and people also govern the actions and standards of the police and all of the laws and regulations of the city. George Floyd's death was a result of his own actions and government policy.

FuckRioters 8 points ago +8 / -0

I've been saying for about a month now, that the body-camera footage tells a VERY different story. Specifically, that Floyd had difficulty breathing before being on the ground, and was massively overdosing. I didn't know about foaming at the mouth.

Lane and Kueng at least should have their charges dismissed. As far as I know, there's not a police precedent for assaulting another officer who is detaining a suspect, and I seem to remember at least one of them was extremely new to the force. You don't simply act outside procedure because something looks bad.

After watching a lot of police videos lately, it's become a lot more obvious that when someone resists arrest, it can get very chaotic (even deadly) within seconds, and that detaining an individual without injuring the person takes significantly more effort, sometimes taking 3-4 police to detain someone whose strength is about on-par with the police trying to detain them.

It's also EXTREMELY common for perps to claim they can't breathe, feign extreme pain or injury when it's extremely obvious on the body-camera they're just making shit up.

edit:

Here's an example, this guy was intentionally trying to suicide by cop, the police reaction at 11-minutes by multiple police officers lets you know there are plenty of police out there who really care and are still very much human. Warning: it's not visually graphic, but it's just hearing their reaction is tough.

TheMadManDidItAgain 8 points ago +8 / -0

Woah... This is kind of big. The 24 hour rule wasn't long enough, we needed the 2 month rule here.

It sounds possible, and perhaps probable, thatn Floyd was possibly going to die anyhow due the drugs and covid as he was complaining about breathing well before the copy restrained him. I'm sure the technique the cop used didn't help him breath, but I'm not convinced the cop was in the wrong now.

I'm still not going to make any conclusions, more information will be coming out.... but damn, this makes me question that Floyd was a victim of police brutality.

To be clear the CCP is responsible for Floyd's death.

  1. The fake 20 was a byproduct of chinese mass counterfeiting operation designed to weaken the US Economy.

  2. Floyd had opiates in his system that are shipped en mass to Mexico and smuggled up through the border.

  3. He was suffering from the CCP virus at the time of death which directly contributed to his inability to breath. This virus came from the Wuhan institute of virology and deliberately spread to the US and the world. China stopped domestic flights while pushing people out internationally.

Since his death, the CCP has engaged in an unprecedented campaign to spread discord and hate in the US by supporting the self described marxist BLM religious movement.

If you trusted the media, George Floyd was just a saint out with some buddies for a nice drive. Sober as a judge, just enjoying his day. Cops suddenly single the vehicle out because the occupants were black, forcefully pull GF out of the vehicle, and one of them kneels on GF's neck until he's stone cold dead. That's all, folks. Get rid of all the police.

This guy had better get off. Chauvin maybe deserves the manslaughter charge, but the other officers were clearly good cops. The fact that they have not released the body cam footage is damning.
