I always thought murder 1 charge was an over-reach. Now it is a complete fantasy. Get ready for the riots after they walk, because the communists of BLM will use any excuse. They never cared about Floyd, they just want a pretense for revolution.

any charge is a fantasy if you watch enough cop videos

they ALL say I can't breathe and resist like he did

The held him in place and called EMS very early.

This junky ODed on them, in a sane world we would all nod and say yup that happens.

The knee on his neck is SOP in Minn training guides to secure a subject, because it works, it does NOT kill people.

Agreed. It was a knee to one side of the neck. Not on windpipe to block air. And not on both sides simultaneously, so no blood flow cut off.

The knee to the neck move is a meat grinder move, as it turns your muscle into mush. Yes, btw, restricted bloodflow leads to inability to retain enough oxygen, hence trouble breathing, and then cardiac arrest.

You try blocking only one carotid artery and tell me how long it takes to make someone pass out. They won’t. That’s why choke outs require the both sides of the neck to be compressed.

Not only that, it shows that during the entire encounter the cops were pretty calm and respectful, even when becoming irritated that they couldn't get him in the vehicle. The media would have people believe these cops jumped on a regular dude minding his own business and willfully killed him while taking pleasure in doing so. The video in fact shows patient and respectful cops trying to do their job, showing concern for his well-being, calling EMS, even escalating EMS to code 3 at one point, and talking with him trying to keep him calm. Like dude said, you'd be hard pressed to find a video where someone is resisting arrest and they aren't claiming that they can't breath, they all do it.

Not only that, but there is a bystander who can be seen and heard on some of these videos telling George to stop fighting, stop trying to win, just get in the car, you're going to have a heart attack.

ETA: Around the ten minute mark you hear the bystander say, "You're going to have a heart attack, get in the car."

I just looked, seems highest charge is murder 2 now. I wasn’t aware that they backed off murder 1. And that is weird how they have multiple murder charges against him with one victim. I am lost. 🤣

so they charge a person but offer alternative options if your a jury member. So if you don't think hes guilty of Murder 1 but think he is Guilty of manslaughter, you can still find him guilty of manslaughter. Murder 1 is planned killing while manslaughter is accidental. If I remember right.

That’s where I was lost. I wasn’t aware that they could list any number of possible charges for a singular crime. Seems like a ‘fishing expedition’ to me.

They know what they're doing. They want him to walk
