    1. @Roland D does one simply start with tee shirts that reads walk away from google or away from twitter etc.. Memes these days are very powerful. i don’t know?

    2. @Yvonne J. I’m uncertain that would work. People are addicted to their media. It’s worth a shot though. I’d like to see a open Internet again. These tech giants need to be taken down a notch or two. I think our best option is getting the Internet made into a public utility. Then it will be under the protection of the first amendment. BTW the tech giants just became the #1 contributors to congressional campaigns.

    3. i’ve been having the same problem. Plus i would go hours without being able to comment on anything. I would hit reply and come back it and wasn’t there. I’m thinking glitch or maybe censorship. I don’t know

    4. 6 of my posts were removed in another trial video… Mad because I was posting valid arguments to negative comments.

    1. @Marii Shiva you are not being logical. He DID NOT choke him for 9 mins. Follow ALL the facts. Like I said, they might have got him on manslaughter but the D.A. had to flex for the media and the outrage.

    2. @Scott Hotch so I didn’t watch him on camera choking him? Wtf? I believe my own eyes! It’s insane that you don’t. You seem pretty intelligent. what was the little girl recording then? Street theater?

    3. @Marii Shiva yes. If you think that was him choking him, you need an eye examination. We don’t have to agree. I just see it differently that’s all. Congratulations on your sobriety and keep up the good fight.

    4. @Marii Shiva no problem. But no matter the outcome… no one gains anything. The media and figureheads are just gonna push hate and division. All we can do as individuals is put 1 foot in front of the other and try and help people when we can. We all battle demons and I really am happy for you about your battle!

    1. @ColdFissi0n never just said black people I was kind of talking about everyone as a whole being killed by police officers which would be thousands of people die by cops armed or armed in general it shouldn’t matter that many people should never die By humans that are paid to protect and serve

    2. @Patrick Ulrey By the way I don’t believe the police reports I don’t believe the autopsy reports officers lie to protect themselves and their brothers and sisters that’s it

    3. @nightstalker1124 “Rayyycism,” well isn’t that just the cutest little thing.

      And you think white people don’t do this? Man what is with you guys denigrating an entire race of people.

      Where are you even getting those stats?

    4. @Lazzil
      The mainstream left has an anti-white agenda that they constantly push in every facet of life. They are incredibly racist while calling everyone else racist. Take a real good look in the mirror honey

      Im sure if you put your mind to it you can find some stats. Keep in mind that google is not your friend and will censor search results so use something else

    1. The reason is simple. An artist sketch is someone’s interpretation of the courtroom and may or may not be accurate. A picture is reality, it doesn’t lie so therefore no one can say that’s not how it happened

  1. How’s that bus feel, Derek? If you listen for the driver shifting gears you can actually _hear_ the moment it shifts into reverse to back over you.

    1. i’ve had A LOT of my comments removed in the past week. I’ve even had hours go by when i was unable to comment on anything.

    2. @Ems Life i actuslly have too honestly. I really think its youtube cause me and bax make youtube videos on @baxinaction on youtube. And i cant even comment on videos i help create

    3. @forgotten Ones I really don’t know if it’s a glitch because of the popularity of this case and they are getting more people on or if it’s intentional. I have no way to gauge it but I’m now noticing it’s not just me so I’m thinking more of a glitch. But who knows. It’s not like they will ever come out and say it

    1. @MYOB MYOB you support the founders of KKK and BLM. They’re called RACIST demoncrats! 😃

  2. Here is an idea how about you guys play the unedited body came footage and cctv footage I grew up in St.Paul and Minneapolis and at the corner where the incident happened there are about 20 CCtv cameras both private and city

    1. @Victor Pradha you aren’t listening to what I’m saying, I’m not saying that Floyd got what he deserved, all I’m saying is that he wasn’t a saint like people are making him out to be, his actions likely played a part in the way they handled him but nobody ever talks about that. Whenever there is a black guy killed by the police it is always twisted into a racism narrative without looking at the whole picture and never any accountability for their behavior. Floyd was extremely high and combative and was saying he couldn’t breath even before he was on the ground, he likely died of excited delirium brought on by a lethal dose of fentanyl but of course this is all being used as part of a broader narrative.

    2. @Zoey Redmond According to the video he wasn’t being “extremely…combative”. Even witness testimony said that Floyd wasn’t being difficult, he appeared to be flustered when they were escorting him into the squad car. My friend was trying to stop two guys from getting into a stupid fight. Both of them had been drinking and some kind of misunderstanding arose. Fists were thrown, blows were struck. My friend interceded because he had served in the military and saw people end up getting hurt pretty bad in drunken brawls. The cops arrived and took the two fighters into custody and during questioning, a cop saw blood on my friend’s shirt. He within seconds flipped his demeanor to hostile and immediately began to arrest my friend. My friend, even though he was ex-military, was very disarmed and disoriented by the sudden change in circumstances. He started to pull away from the officer grabbing my friend’s arm. The officer shouted, “He’s resisting” and suddenly the officer’s partner showed up and began to wrestle my friend to the ground. The bar manager and several witnesses including myself kept insisting to the officers that my friend had been trying to break up the fight that’s all…that he didn’t do anything wrong. The cops were stubborn and refused to listen to anyone until they got my friend in handcuffs. Once they did…the bar manager said I have video cameras and you can see for yourself this guy did NOTHING wrong it was just those two. ONLY then did the officer relent. But he had my friend on the ground in handcuffs like within 2 minutes of talking to him. After they let him out of cuffs, my friend was very angry and his heart was racing…I know because I put my hand on his chest and kept saying it’ll be okay…it’s going to alright…you’re fine…you’re safe. It took my friend some 15 minutes to calm down and drop his guard and become more coherent.

      I’m telling you this because it puts a perspective on how disorienting it is to suddenly be no longer in control of your own body and have any freedom of movement. I don’t care that George Floyd wasn’t a saint before. The call was about a possible counterfeit $20 bill. That’s all. What the cops did in response was inexcusable. There was NO other crime occurring. BTW, since the opioid crisis began, cops are supposed to carry rescue kits with naloxone. If someone is ODing or appears to having respiratory distress of any kind, naloxone administration will stop any potential opioid OD without risk of other harm. Even if it’s not opioids, the administration of naloxone will not harm a person. The LEOs on scene that day failed in that basic step. Instead they were consumed with controlling a non-combative George Floyd.

      There are bad people in this world…people who knowingly do wrong. They scam people out of their hard earned money, they defraud Medicare, they commit credit fraud and identity theft, engage in ponzi schemes etc. These people do these harms with cold rational reasoning. George Floyd was a guy who made a lot of bad choices in life but he wasn’t one of those who with cold, careful, deliberative reasoning act to harm others…his anger got the best of him, his desperation got the best of him. He’s a former convict because of impulse control and poor judgment. What happened to him was in no way justified by the mistakes George Floyd made in his life.

    3. @Patrick Ulrey He is an Israelite. So, actually, yeah, he is more black than white. Google ethnicity of Jesus Christ. He looks like a “black” man to me.

    4. @Zoey Redmond so you justify a death of a changed man because of the wrongs he did back in his youth?

    5. @Juan Gomez I’m not justifying anything, and he definitely wasn’t a changed man, he was the same person his whole life.

    1. @Kevin Bundock go to a corner in a middle of a large town and preach that then let me know how it goes

    2. @william bauer I’m just trying to converse with you. Why do you try and attempt insults? If you don’t want to talk with me, then don’t reply.

    3. @william bauer I’m trying to have a discourse with you since you seemingly want to keep on talking. Why attempt insults? Clearly you don’t know much about a religion you apparently follow, and you don’t know how society works, so why not learn? Or are you just getting upset again?

    4. @william bauer Again, I don’t see why we can’t have a civil discourse. You clearly want to talk or are in need of a friend since you keep on responding to me. Why do we not have a discourse then. Instead you are resulting to childish insults that really aren’t even insults, you haven’t even said a word that has more than three syllables.

  3. He also testified after watching the body camera footage in court that he didn’t think Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s neck, but rather his shoulder.🤔🤔

    1. During a 15 second clip 🙄 He later said that in the majority of the video evidence, his knee was on Floyd’s neck

    2. We’re you not paying attention? He literally said that was before he saw what the civilians saw

  4. The beauty of a zillion “ policies” is to provide liability protection for whichever Bureaucrat or Company issues them ! Giant CYA STRATEGY! 🤔
