After yesterday's trial hearing from the medics and seeing new footage, today's trial made me think of:
If YOU don't think you would die....how much money would you try to win if you were to participate as George Floyd in an exact reenactment minus the drugs?
Have people on the internet uploaded videos of this?
You think it's no walk in the park? Easy to survive? Win $20 in less than 15 mins? Would you do it? And not your friend doing it, a cop, exactly the same. And exactly how healthy you are right now with no chance to prepare, not on a gym mat, on the street. How much? Since it's so easy to survive?
I think if I didn't take 3 times the lethal amount of fentanyl required to kill a human I'd do alright chief.
Go try it then, have someone video tape it too so we can see.
I'll let you sit on my neck bro. DM me and we can set something up boss.

Then why did the city pay the family 27 million. That was a major hit on their budget but obviously the city figured it was better to pay them fight in court. Odd they would do that if it was his fault dont you think?
Sometimes it is cheaper to settle than fight in court both financially and politically. Attorneys know this and many injury and civil rights attorneys make their living exploiting this dynamic.

Considering Chauvin applied no pressure, what do you think will happen?

It was not cheaper to pay 27 milion then fight in court unless your lawyers know your going to lose. So the city has already accepted culpability for his death. If they thought the police officers were in the right they would have fought it in court

Except that he was not on his neck restricting breathing. No proof from autopsy report. Also, people sleep on their stomachs do they not?
George ODed.... that simple.
That's not actually relevant to the trial, since Chauvin isn't accused of asphyxiating him. He's accused of putting him in a high stress position that contributed to his death.

Oh so now it's "contributing" to his death. Is that what this whole dog and pony show is for? Contributing to someone's death?

I've been watching the day 5 trial for Derek Chauvin. The prosecution got Lieutenant Zimmerman on the stand, and his testimony is pretty bad for Chauvin.
Here are the key points:
Zimmerman has decades of experience on the police force and currently holds the highest seniority.
Zimmerman testified that he has never been trained to put his knee on a suspect's neck.
Zimmerman claims that this would be considered the highest tier of force, or deadly force (akin to using a deadly weapon such as a gun), because having your knee on a person's neck could kill them.
Zimmerman claims that a handcuffed suspect should never be left laying prone on their stomach/chest, but instead rolled over onto their side or sat up as soon as possible, because being prone on the stomach/chest makes it more difficult to breathe.
At this point it's hard to tell how the trial is going to play out. I'm really curious to hear the testimony from the coroner(s).
According to the Minneapolis Police Department training manual, officers are shown how to subdue violent or resisting suspects by placing their knee on the neck

How many people do you know that sleep on their stomach while handcuffed ?
Asking for a friend.

Why are you so triggered? You guys have made 10 billion threads saying George died because of drugs, THAT MEANS, a person would survive the encounter if they were sober. So prove it. Give it a shot.
He's been called a human piece of garbage amongst numerous other insults, WHICH MEANS, you think you're better, i.e. more superior. So go and show off and duplicate it sober. If George is garbage and he died, and on drugs, that means you sober could be smoking a cigarette while it's going down. So let's see it tough guys and women. Show us how it's done.
Yeah I think he wants someone else to take drugs and fight with police. Why would he be in that position if he wasn't nearly delirious on meth/fent and not following instructions. He could of just sat in the car. I guess now you will have to ask if a suspect is claustrophobic before detaining them, if they say yes you just gotta let em go LOL
