I hope one day we raise a statue for Officer Chauvin and all the pain he had to go through just so that the Dems could push their agenda.

Actually, the neck restraint could have also been used to control the subject, while keeping them conscious according to the Minneapolis Use of Force document:

Conscious Neck Restraint: The subject is placed in a neck restraint with intent to control, and not to render the subject unconscious, by only applying light to moderate pressure. (04/16/12)

Authorizing a knee on the neck is pretty stupid imo, but if it's so bad, then go after the people that authorized it. The cop followed procedure and the procedure wasn't something like "gas all Jews" or something ridiculous,

This isn't something like waterboarding, where you go after John Yoo and the people doing it. Go after the guy that set the policy for setting bad policy, and retrain the cops about why it was bad policy (leads to death, reflects poorly on the PD, whatever).

In the policy that he was following it references that the subject may die.

Worse part is so many departments across the country banned any type of neck restraint after that one guy in NYC their department didn't follow suit and this is what happens unfortunately.

I think he died in the ambulance but yeah ME said the knee didn't do it. I looked at it again and I'm not sure much weight was on the knee if any really only problem is regardless it just looks bad and is easy for media and the internet to spin as excessive force. Also positional asphyxiation is still a think too even with no weight anywhere on a cuffed suspect that is on their chest they can still possibly pass out and die from the positioning

And you know who decides if neck restraints are authorized? It ain’t the the officers on the beat. It’s the mayor, chief of Police and the city council.

The neck restraint has never failed before in Minneapolis.The officer never used excessive force on Floyd’s neck.the pressure was light and it didn’t affect the throat. Why are we cucking here? The only problem I can think with police is them not following the constitution and “qualified immunity “.

She may have been advised to divorce him for her own financial protection. That sometimes happens.

Some speculation that the divorce is a play to protect assets. They have a lot of stolen money in multiple properties that she's trying to claim in the divorce. Would be a good way to keep those assets from being taken in lawsuits

It isn't uncommon for spouses to divorce their significant other when high profile cases like this happen. You know BLM would target his family she could have done it to distance herself for her own protection. I'm not saying that is definitely what happened maybe this was the final straw no way for us to know but I suspect she did it for her own safety. If she did I can't blame her and he would have known.
