the fentanyl in his system, whether the knee into the neck and the heart condition would have killed him. Doesn’t excuse the use of the force, but I would be all over that if I were Chauvin’s lawyer when this all calms down.
compared what will happen. These scumbag cops needs to be dropped into general population and justice will be served.

If so I cannot imagine it helped. He was relatively passive from the videos I’ve seen so I don’t think that will help in defense of the cop. In fact it could do the opposite. A knee on a passive perp’s neck for just short of 9 minutes and he dies? Excessive and unnecessary force especially after he claims he can’t breathe?
To me as a juror it says, mr. cop intended on injury no matter what. As a juror I want to know why mr. cop isn’t being tried for 1st degree murder.
Not trying to piss in anyone’s Cheerios.
That is not shown on any of the videos I have seen. Once again doesnt justify 9 minutes on his neck
But this guy was twice the size of any of the cops...

that was redacted but in part officers with the back door open to the SUV. Couldn’t see what was happening though from the blocking out of the picture. Could be nothing, could be something.

police holds like Chauvin used. It appears that it was essentially left to the discretion of the individual officer. It's also emerged that something like 25 suspects in Minneapolis have been rendered unconscious with similar-type holds. I'm not saying it's likely, but just as with the Arbery case, people need to be prepared for the possibility of a not guilty verdict.
It allows the neck restraint to render unconscious to defeat active resistance.
Looks to me like something routinely done by the department history and nonchalance of Chauvin when using it.

Chavin won't have any other means of making a living from this point. He's going to be a millionaire.
Now he's getting off on all charges and reaping millions?
Yeah...I don't see that as likely. Among other things, when someone says I can't breathe...you may be impacting their airway...
I've heard so many of my neighbors who have never thought about owning a gun talking about it now.
arrogant asshole it’s clear to see. Should go to prison along with the other three.
Ill get out my ice skates too. I believe some Thad frozen over.
technique, which is Chauvin's defense no. 2.
We are looking at an Amadou Diallo not-guilty type verdict again. Anyone who decides to rebuild in that area with no consideration for the future looting that will occur if Chauvin is acquitted is a full class moron.
That community is wrecked.
when there is active resistance. Did it look like he was resisting during those 9 minutes?
