- The bodycam footage will be hidden by the controlled media.
- The police will be found not guilty, or receive light sentences.
- BLM and the MSM will start the riots all over again. (*)
(*) - Unless Trump is re-elected, and finds a way to reign in the traitorous MSM, and domestic terrorist groups like BLM and Antifa.
As an aside, are the cops guilty of anything besides bad optics? They would have known that they were dealing with someone who is high -- they do it all the time. But should they have known that he had taken a dangerous overdose, and rushed to get him medical attention? Would more training have helped? Defunding, obviously, would not.

Based on the transcripts very quickly they did call for an ambulance it just took like 10 minutes to reach them.
Floyd was a huge dude, combative, and tripping on Fentanyl. Who wouldn't want to keep him restrained.
That's a good point. And if they had left Floyd in the car, while he was tripping, they couldn't stop him from hurting himself.
And note that the position of the knee, at the back of the neck, where the muscles are, is a restraint position. Choking someone takes pressure on the front of the neck.
Also, if those cops were actually trying to help Floyd, then it would explain their lack of concern about the people around them taking videos.
They aren't concerned about cameras because they were wearing body cameras already.
Law enforcement did their job correctly. It is not the cop's fault that Floyd got caught using counterfeit money, driving while high on an extremely lethal substance and then panic-level resisting arrest. Floyd put himself into a grave.
This. This is the single most important detail of the story that the MSM tries so desperately to hide from us.
I've been making that same argument. He could still talk, his windpipe wasn't being crushed. It was the muscle on the back of the neck and the officer's toe was on the ground the whole time. He wasn't being choked. I, just, think it's a poor choice of hold under the circumstances, but I don't have the experience to say what a correct choice of hold would be. And that opinion is mostly based off politics and how it looks. Not really what I think about it.
A couple of other things become clearer, now that we have more context.
One is when the cop, in the original viral video, says something like, "Don't do drugs, kids." It seemed like a cynical joke at the time, but now we know he was serious, and was referring to the sight of Floyd, on the ground, tripping out, as tragic.
Another thing that becomes clearer is why Derek Chauvin, and the other cops, appeared so sullen throughout the ordeal. In the original video, it seemed like they were cold-hearted bastards, who didn't care. Now, it seems like the opposite -- like maybe they were thinking, "Here we go again. There's nothing we can do to help this poor guy. All we can do is wait for the ambulance to come."
