I'm sure you can find something to laugh at just sitting alone in the bath ....

What a vulgar thing to say?

Yuck, now you have thoughts of me sitting alone in the bath...

I feel so violated that I finally have a valid reason to call the cops!

Something doesn't make sense.  Chauvin and Floyd both worked at the same bar as security for years.  Why would Chauvin keep his knee on the back of his neck, even after he stops moving for so long.   Unless there is some reason we don't know yet.

The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.

Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease.

The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any
potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death

So you're saying it doesn't make sense because they were familiar with each other?  Could go either way.  Probably lots that public doesn't know and maybe will never know.  May never be able to make any sense of the original event, but I'll tell you that the reactions going on won't ever make sense. . .

And maybe 3 guys kneeling on his back and neck also contributed to his death....while he pleaded for air....and went limp.
The combined effects......of not listening to a handcuffed, face down on the ground guy pleading for his life.

+1. I agree.

Strange they worked at the same place together though.
In Hawaii that would’ve had a good chance of getting you off the hook.

I dunno. Not everyone who works together get along. The venue security guys that I know or had gotten to know over the years tended to be tight, but I’ve seen many that didn’t or had a falling out for a variety of reasons. Common one was getting hooked on drugs. Have no idea what happened in this case, but can see being familiar with one another as aggravating factor.

This was a terrible incident and even worse response.  I am all for peaceful protests, but the rioting and general lawlessness and anarchy that has come up is senseless. 

How about posting examples of the positives that have been seen the last few days.  Citizens standing up for LE, show owners, etc.  Guess MSM doesn't have time for that.  Now social media blackout?  Perfect timing for when some charges were supposed to start getting dropped.  Sad how so easily manipulated some are by the MSM. . . well, they "always" convey the truth. . .

Yet another case by the new "choke first and, if the person is still living, find some BS he was resisting arrest" excuse after.   :wacko:

He did resist arrest but that is certainly no justification for what the cop did to him.

Even if the defense team can somehow bring into question whether the knee to the neck caused the death of Floyd it is undeniable that the officer completely railed to render aid to someone in his custody. There is no excuse there

There's always more to the story ...

It's said Floyd was strongly resisting after being cuffed and while being placed in a patrol car.  He was saying he was claustrophobic to talk them out of putting him in the car. 

He was saying, "I can't breathe!" while the officers were trying to get him into the vehicle -- something like, "I'm claustrophobic and can't breathe in tight spaces."  He repeated "I can't breathe" many times  BEFORE he was ever placed on the ground with his back knelt on.

I'm obviously not saying he could breathe after being placed on the ground -- he died.  All I'm pointing out is that the Cops might have not taken him seriously after he told them repeatedly that he couldn't breathe before he was physically restrained under that knee.

It'll be interesting to see what the Cops' defense lawyers argue during the trials.

Coverage of the memorial today came up after the news.  While I understand the outrage on the main issue, I always wonder why such focused attention on this case and not others.  That is assuming it's such a "global issue"?  Somewhat sarcastically wondering as I have my opinions on the answer. 

Hundreds, including Al Sharpton, Eric Garner's mom, mourn at George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis
