    1. @Matt Lockington On the street , his bad decisions got him there. If he had acted civil he would have got his day in court

    2. they couldn’t even convict O.J Simpson or Casey Anthony or secure the death penalty for Charles Manson.

    1. @Erfan Maleki BLM hit the capitol a couple weeks back already! Killed a cop, because thats how they do. Burn, loot and murder.

    2. @Boolivks ayo you need too check your privelage. Just because you have a maserati doesn’t mean we all do.

  1. The more interesting thing that happened today was the Pulmonologist on the witness stand that lied about testing hemoglobin saturation

    1. @Rundvelt Floyd told Chauvin, “I can’t breathe”. Chauvin knowing this kept his knee on his neck, intentionally. With that knowledge AND ignoring Floyd entirely, seems intentional to me. I believe you’re generalizing a lot of things to excuse Chauvin’s behaviour.

      “Apprehended can mean a ton of different things” — let’s narrow it down. Unarmed, prone on the floor, and in cuffs. When does that require any additional force?

    2. @Kindachi actually the use of force expert said that chauvin used less force then what was needed. He could have used a taser if he wanted to. Not to mention that a medical examiner implyed that carbon monoxide may have played a role in floyds death. Manslaughter might be on the table. murder is out.

    3. @Kindachi 6’7” imposing large male under the influence of drugs and non-compliant, with a lengthy Criminal record

    4. @a_room_without_a_view 4 “trained” officers with tazers and guns. Chauvin with 18 previous complaints, 2 of which were closed with discipline. 1 should be enough for termination.

  2. I’ts generally bad for the defendant to take the stand but especially bad in a trial like this that is embroiled in mob mentality. Chauvin regardless of trial outcome is going to have to go into hiding or have a new face made for him.

    1. @Luka Milas You mean Juries of course and not Courts. Big Diff. No matter what happens it will not please the mob. Best keep away from Minneapolis and any big city.

    1. @LucVNO He Was Bold Enough To Perform The Act Then He Needs To Be Bold Enough To Stand In It! And Whatever The Consequences Are So Be It! There’s Absolutely No Need In Him Running Over To Another State! I’m Sure Those Folks Don’t Want No Trouble 👿 Are Bad Energy In Their City 🌃 He’s Bad News 📰

  3. Maybe he should have testify to clear up some issues, but then again maybe not, a little hard to over look he`s stair into the camera when his knees were on Floyd.

  4. If he’s found not guilty and you live in Minnesota, then get the hell out of there. There’s gonna be some peaceful protests that you do not want to be near.

  5. Noticed in the body cam footage George complains about being not been able breath way before he was even on the ground. Can any explain why that was?
