Link: What exactly is Chauvin guilty of?
My son worked his way up the ranks from patrol officer to detective to state police to now a Federal agent. Law enforcement will always get the benefit of the doubt from me. BUT, even if the officer's actions were not the cause of death, the optics looked terrible. Nonchalant kneeling, with hands in pocket, is a really bad look on an incapacitated person. Especially during these times. Was it necessary force or not? I don't know. I'm thinking the jury will go the OJ route, knowing they have to go back to their neighborhoods, with their names out there. Anyone else have something to add?

Nine minutes and twenty nine seconds of nonchalant kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed suspect is only a bad look.
Ill remember that as my go to line when having a conversation about the lethal force applied by Chauvin.
You don't know the officer involved. You don't know what he was thinking. You weren't there. IMHO, while kneeling, he looked so nonchalant. Disconnected from what he was doing. Hands in pocket. That is not a good look with someone struggling for his life underneath the officer. The jury sees this. I see it. You want a conviction. You wanted one from the very start. You believed that "Hands up, don't shoot" was a real thing. Let the evidence from both sides present itself, then let the jury decide. Apparently, your moral superiority has already convicted the officer some time ago.
used his authority as an officer to kill a suspect. He did it it with malice and privilege.
I might be surprised you’d use some moral superiority code as a defense for your lack of compassion and civility but in other posts here you have noted your absolute hate for others you don’t agree with backing the comments with a moral superiority.
Chauvin miss used his position in a lethal manner. And while bystanders pleaded with him to just take his knee from the neck of Floyd he defiantly held fast to his authority and ended the life of another.
You know this how? All the evidence hasn't even been submitted yet. The defense hasn't presented their case yet. You have this guy convicted on day one. Most of us can agree that kneeling was harsh under the circumstances, but we, including you, don't even know if that caused death. You want this conviction and you want it now. Damn the trial. You appear to have a ton of hate rolling around in that empty coconut of yours. Real hate. Let the trial come to a conclusion. Then let the jury decide. You don't even accept that premise. You don't know any more about the case than anyone else. The little you think you know was already pre-judged by you months ago. Typical hateful vengeful lefty.
Even for your extremely low, life standards
Decent hard working Officers around this nation are now painted by the colors of Chauvin’s actions and you who profess life in a family of police officers are defending his actions as - wait, the evidence isn’t in.
Your grasp of reality is an insult to your own family members who are Officers dutifully and diligently performing their jobs without controversy.
No, I don’t like cops who flaunt their authority, abuse their jobs and I especially dislike killer cops.
I can’t pinpoint your addled reasoning on this, but I’ll bet it has more to do with white is might than it does with truth and fact.
You have a real issue with a FAIR trial. You have an issue with a trial at all. If he is guilty, then so be it. Justice served. If he is found not guilty, justice served by a jury of his peers and thank God, not by you. You don't hear what I say. You only hear what you want to believe. I defy you to quote anywhere that I am defending or not defending this officer. The more you talk, the more I am convinced you are a fool.
Your blame game is well out of hand.
You defended Chauvin to me calling his actions "nonchalant kneeling" where his job and policing is anything but nonchalant.
Then you make it personal by noting you're from a family of police officers therefore it's okay and you deny the suspect was killed by the actions
of Chauvin somehow; your argument I exercise "moral superiority" because I watched the ten minute video clip of Chauvin killing Floyd I must wait
for some non-existent evidence there might have been more to the Floyd execution than I could possibly have seen, this all through your, "moral
Superiority".
He Killed Floyd and he did it with Malice.
Everything you say is a lie. It's impossible to have an adult discussion with lefties exactly like you. Instead of a discussion, you take it up a notch with insults then take it up another notch by dragging race into the discussion. You don't get the privilege of putting me on defense. Everything you have posted is purposely misleading or a damn lie. I gave my opinion and I stand by it. Keep talking. Stop screaming at the keyboard. You are a fool but it doesn't have to be that way.

3 minutes of which he was prolly already dead. That’s intolerable. If the jury believes it was, as I do, a substantial factor in his death, murder conviction. It doesn’t natter what kind of dirtbag Floyd was.
