I have 10 years experience in Brazilian jujitsu. And you guys know nothing of what you’re talking about.. you guys are not combative athletes..guess what I am. If a man is in a blood choke.. The carotid artery on the side of the neck is being cut off. That does not constrict his airway especially if it’s not very tight..Like one side of the carotid artery on the neck is being cut off instead of both. He would still be able to talk here and there. As his airway is not being cut off

“If he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to call an O.D. [Over Dose],” the notes say. “Deaths have been certified with levels of 3,” the notes indicate. (he had 11ng/ml and they are reporting that people have died with levels of 3ng/ml)
@George Orwell I saw a cop restraining a suspect that was resisting arrest. Why was there no damage to his neck if they choked the life out of him...???? They even looked at the deep tissue in the neck and found no damage cause he wasn't choked, he was pinned down by the neck.
So then u make it worse by putting ur knee on his neck. Then don't render any aid at all. AT ALL. THE MAN HAD STOPPED MOVING AND HE STILL WAS ON HIS NECK
One So if he said it before why speed it up by completely stopping air circulation two your job is to help people so if he said it in the car you should have did your job PROPERLY in got him to a hospital asap either way you basically killed him when one you could have saved him in two you made matters worse by stoping all air circulation yea guilty he gets no pass he is finished
Should have asked him "so in your opinion, he said 'I can't breathe' because he had a knee on the back of his neck"...'yes'..."in your opinion, what do you think the reason was he said 'i can't breathe' before he was even on the ground while standing up and refusing to get into the police car?"
@glyn hodges So in your experience was Floyd saying I can't breath without the knee on his neck? Was there a different reason why he was saying that? So even without the knee Floyd was incapable of breathing? Or was it that Floyd was using the phrase as a means to get out of arrest?

"Was the light red or green when the car entered the intersection?" Can have an objective, factual answer. "What did you think was happening?" Is subjective and the guy already said he wasn't a cop or doctor by any means.

I don't understand why you all talk so much and don't listen, the man Cleary explained different chokes and he said the officer was using a blood choke so you CAN actually be choking in this manner and talk.

Something I many of you keyboard warrior COWARDS can't and won't do.. If you read my comment and are offended by it, then PLEASE know, it was meant for you!!
You can’t blood choke somebody with just one knee. You have to block both arteries that run along opposite sides of the neck. In order to apply enough pressure to collapse one of these arteries. You would have to have something solid on the opposite side of the neck that would prevent neck movement and flexing. Sorry, your heroin addict brother died eating heroin.
@@allks88 I was trained to use blood chokes in the Marines sir. When applied a blood choke will render someone unconscious in 5-10 seconds. Another 5 seconds of applied pressure after they pass out and they die. That means a proper blood choke can kill you in 15 seconds. Not 9 minutes. Floyd died from the drugs. Sorry for your loss. Good luck with your riots.

It goes a long way to have a sympathetic witness. This guy blew it too by being argumentative and his body language and facial expressions... gosh he jacked it up so bad.
yes and he was told to take a seat in back of vehicle and they would roll down the window and turn on air conditioning! and the family got multi millions and riots where people were severely injured and even died and damaged property galore. This makes me SICK! p.s. did anyone ever find out who was making fake money?
So when someone is telling you they can’t breathe and panicking the solution of course is to keep them handcuffed on the ground and press your knee into their neck with full body weight and leverage. That will for sure allow them to breathe and calm down right genius
No he did not say he didn't get angry. He admitted he got angry. What he denied was getting angrier. He said he remained professional in his body. He did not allow his anger to increase, which could have led to him not remaining professional in his body (whatever that means).
i agree but did you see the original autopsy report check out his medical issues he had ....Natural diseases .Arteriosclerotic heart disease, multifocal, severe .Hypertensive heart disease .Cardiomegaly (540 g) with mild biventricular dilatation .Clinical history of hypertension .Left pelvic tumor .. and here is what they found in a tox screen ...Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens: 1.Fentanyl 11 ng/mL 2.Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL 3.4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL 4.Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL 5.11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1. 2 ng/mL; Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL 6.Cotinine positive 7.Caffeine positive and to let you know they use 10 to 20 ng of fentanyl for anesthesia so he was a dead man walking the instant they pulled him out the car
also mild biventricular dilatation is what they call end stage heart disease meaning he was on borrowed time so this cop did nothing wrong the report even listed that there was no damage to the throat or carotid artery or the esophagus he couldnt breath cause his heart was not pumping enough blood to his body
As long as the "suspect" is strugglin', movin' around on the ground, he will be restrained by whatever force is necessary. I don't believe that much pressure was on Floyd's neck...just looked that way. Floyd was High on drugs, out of his mind, scared 'cause he got caught, cryin' for Momma (WTH). Sorry, folks, no sympathy here!
nogEGERTS= What do you mean? Do you mean that George Floyd should have taken responsibiity for his life= For being on Drugs, for taking Drugs when he thought the Cops might discover drugs on him or are you referring to Derek Chauvan?
@@HoldenNY22 I am referring to both. Floyd was a bad human being who held a knife to a pregnant woman's stomach while him and his buddies robbed her, which is why he was on prison for his 5th time for a 7 year term. He also swallowed a handful of fentanyl before they pulled him out of the car while he was resisting. His actions put him in that situation that went bad. But I also believe the cop should be punished for his actions as well. There was no reason to kneel on a person for 10 minutes, especially when you have numerous cops around you, and you're not alone waiting for help to arrive. Considering the entire situation between both parties, I believe a 10 years in prison would be a fair sentence. No more, no less.

I'm glad you asked rather than assume something untoward. You'd be surprised how many people don't do that and go down some crazy conspiracy rabbitholes. So, there was no video editing, as its a live feed, as you can see, no crazy camera cuts or continuity errors or any of that. So all of this is indeed live and not edited. There is a long section of this video where the audio feed was muted however, but this wasn't when the defense was making a case or probing with questions relevant to the case. It was simply for what the court call a "sidebar". This means a slight break from the trial that's intended solely as a private discussion with the judge, but indeed holds no relevance to the case. In most instances its an opportunity for the judge to explain to someone who may be unfamiliar with courtroom decorum on matters like how they should be presenting their accounts or even a suggestion of how best to proceed the trial. And as with all broadcasted court proceedings it is a legal requirement of any participating networks to not broadcast a sidebar, as its a private conversation and again, holds no relevance to the trial. I hope that clears it up for you :)

@@tonylvez it depends if you are being choke by obstructing the airways which it isn't the case or by starving the brain of oxygen by putting pressure in the arteries which are located at the side of the neck, which if you look at the video Chaving was putting pressure around the side of the neck as his face was sideways Also the pressure to do that chokehold doesn't even need to be that strong nor damage any tissue as the more time passes the less oxygen his brain will received and will eventually die out. Chauvin choke him for at least 8 mins even the slightest pressure in the neck for that long will eventually kill anyone Floyd stopped responding and Chauvin still had his knee around his neck for another 1 or 2 minutes I'm sorry but there is no way Chauvin wasn't involved in his death charges for murder might be debatably but not manslaughter which is in my opinion what happened and they should have gone with that As I don't believe Chauvin wanted to kill him but Floyd died while having Chauvin 's knee on his neck so they should change the charges to manslaughter
Pathology reports shows he died from a drug overdose and not asphyxiation. Yes Chauvin should he reprimanded of excessive force but EXECUTION?! You’re delusional. Facts are there for us all to see.
@@shipwreckjs673 you can clearly see in thr video the extreme negligence of Chauvin during the hold to the point of having his hand in his pockets while there was ppl telling him he wasn't responding You can aldo see both in the raw footage and on the viral video that Chauvin not only had one knee on his neck but he had the other one on hid back That prone position he is not pleasant to breath it is possible but if you have an officer putting his knee on his back and knee then you csn see how Chauvin negligence caused Floyd's death I seriously doubt they can get him on murder but manslaughter is more appropriate
Floyd wasn't in a choke hold? I'm convinced you didn't watch the video. The dude was face down, cuffed with three officers on top. He was no threat at this point..

Yeah, he’s an idiot. The knee on the back of the neck is not a choke. The carotid and larynx are on the front of the neck. There’s a spine and a bunch of neck muscles in the way when someone is prone. You can’t compress either the carotid or the larynx from above with the knee in that position.
@PassionOfLifee I'm more than sure having over 3 times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system had nothing at all to do with the cause of asphyxiation. Anyone who has watched the entire police body cam video (and not just the 9 minute video) will tell you that Floyd was scream he couldn't breath and that he was dying while sitting in the back of the police vehicle.

@@james123stewart A sleeper hold requires cutting off the bloodflow to the brain. I've never seen that happen with one knee/shin on the back of a neck. In that position it would require the shin/knee to be on the side of the neck, with another object on the opposite side. That doesn't appear to be the case.
I have train jiujtsu since my late teens( im almost 30). The knee on the neck is a choke only if you can block both sides of the carotid (usually by wrenching on the collar in a kimono or gi) in this instance im not sure how it is possible for both sides to be cut off unless they are arguing his neck was pressed so hard against the ground. So in my opinion this was not a “blood choke” or a air choke ( which basically your trachea has to be crushed which autopsy would show). This guy also called a kimura (shoulder lock) a choke. His grappling experience is highly suspect if you ask me. Im guessing he is local mma guy who focuses on striking.
Yeah calling a kimura a choke is very strange for a man with 11 professional MMA fights. I'm certainly no professional fighter but I've done a bit of BJJ and rolled a few times and the kimura is one of the most common submissions you see in BJJ/MMA. Most casual MMA fans are aware that a kimura is not a choke. It's not like we're talking about a Von Flue choke or an omoplata or some submission you rarely see so even if he's mostly a stand up fighter, how tf does he not know what a kimura is? Strange...

@@HighCountry81 Dude, the one side of his neck was pressed on but you have stop blood supply from both sides of the neck. There are 2 main arteries to the brain and numerous smaller veins that still feed blood and oxygen to the brain. You would have to suppress all of them to starve the brain.
@@HighCountry81 I agree in part. The delayed medical was not the issue in the beginning of this trial. For there to have been enough pressure due to compression on the street side then his whole neck would have to be lying completely flat against it and that is not possible due to his shoulders preventing it. If his neck had become compressed by both the knee and street then his neck would have to be broken to manage that. Even if Floyd was laying face down, sideways or face up the shoulders prevent that. Another example: When you look at TV commercials that advertise pillows because ppl complain about how the neck can never align enough for comfort. That is why some pillows were made with a curve in it so that it lies in enough prone position for comfort. Now for the Police Officer rendering aid. In theory yes but legally he is not obligated to personally render the aid, he is obligated to obtain the aid. His part is negligence due to a moral issue. That I do agree he is guilty of. He is guilty of Negligence. When you face people everyday who are career criminals of whom most would kill you in a second and your every day life is always at risk then Police officers become jaded and cynical. This happens to soldiers too. You go listen to WW2 or Vietnam soldiers and they can attest to what it is like when you are faced with death every day and how it affects your own humanity. You become jaded or desensitized. That is one of the problems with the youth today who eat sleep and breathe playing Grand Theft Auto or the ton of other simulations of killing. They become jaded also but in a different form. Youth become desensitized.....when they kill someone in real life there is no respawning.

What you are seeing are versions that have been altered to slant the view to appear like the officers are guilty. You don't see the version where he Floyd is fighting the officers, kicking one in the face several times and when he is on the road he did that on his own. He forced his way out of the squad car, dropping down to the road kicking the officers the whole time ( That is called resisting arrest ) Before the officers were ever wrestling with him he was screaming he couldn't breathe and he had a phobia of being in cars. Which made no sense since he had been driving! When he dropped to the road he was not face down he was on his side, then on his back kicking one officer in the face. Did you see any of that???? Then he was on his side again rolling back and forth from his side to his back then to his side again kicking and screaming he could not breathe and momma! Then the officer Derek placed his knee to his neck because his hands were trying to assist the other officers in stopping his kicking! Onlookers came along after this part and started filming from the sidewalk from their POV. Their POV completely alters what really happened. Officer Derek never had enough pressure to his neck to sever his breathing. He only had enough pressure to stop him from rolling over again to his back and keep kicking! That is the part you are not being allowed to see!!!! Try rolling over when your head or neck can not move. It is very difficult. That is what Officer Derek was trying to do was stop Floyd from rolling over back and forth from his side to his back. You can not control a suspect if they are on their back facing you. It makes it ten times harder to deal with. The people with their cameras came onto the scene after he had been rolling around kicking the officers. Their POV gives a false idea of what was happening because they could not see it because the car blocked the view.

MMA chokes are focused on the carotid artery, sides of the neck, like how Chauvin's knee was pinned on Floyd's carotid artery. It's not restricting the airway, it's restricting the oxygen in the blood from traveling to the brain.

he was being arrested police didnt care to hear his mumbo jumbo. none of that was important after they said put your hands on the wheel and he refused I knew it was going south. that is called failure to comply. fighting police 30 minutes is called resisting. questions?? he just tried to pass fake money and got caught at that point he was a criminal. no one cared about his questions he could ask them in court
How does one repeat the phrase "i cant breath" over and over in the video without "breathing"? How does one sit behind the wheel of a Mercedes when officers arrive resisting to come out of said vehicle without being "claustrophobic" and yet cant sit in the back of a squad car without being "claustrophobic"?
It's going to come down to the fact that he was claiming he couldn't breathe while working to escape the patrol car and the drugs in his system. If he didn't use the 'I can't breathe' line during his escape attempt they might actually have listened to him and made adjustments on the ground. No matter what tho this guy is going to walk.
How hard is it to realize someone is unconscious? The cop holding his legs said it like 4 mins in. He said "maybe we should roll him to his side" and "i think he's passing out" while Floyd's body was convulsing. But Chauvin decided to keep his knee there for another 4 mins. End result he died under his knee while the other cops had already let go. Undeniably 3rd degree murder aka involuntary manslaughter...
@@dalindr maybe, maybe not but the drugs in his system will be enough reasonable doubt for any jury. That's all I'm saying. There is no way to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
@@johnnytorres277 he slid through the cop car while claiming he couldn't breathe. It's in the body cam video. Obviously they weren't going to believe him a second time. This and the drugs in his system will equal a not guilty verdict. I'm not emotional about it and think they could've handled it better but looking at it objectively it's pretty obvious he will walk.
@@rosalieparker3936 any rational reasonable person would agree with you but to MAGA people camera footage is fake LOL when the capitol was invaded on January 6th by 99% white supremacists MAGA said it was ANTIFA LOL even though there was camera footage LOL
To understand the case you have to understand the drug fentanyl. Clearly. When oding on fentanyl you're unable to take deep breathes and you die. Now, when george is saying I can't breath, this isn't that complicated. This is why he wouldn't get in the police car.
@@joshuapark1749 In that case he shouldn't be walking up on the Officer. He should be more afraid of his neighbors, there are more black people shot in a day (including children) by other black people than are shot by Cops in a year. More white people are shot by Cops than any other color/race.
How is it a great point ? You feel as if you can't breathe when someone is constricting your airway, and cutting off oxygenated blood to the brain. We was still able to get a small bit of air In as his. He was suffering from extreme Hypoxemia (low oxygen in blood) which lead to Mr. Floyd becoming hypoxic (low oxygen in tissues). When your sp02 (blood oxygenation percent) goes lower than 90 it feels like it is hard to breathe under mr. Floyds sp02 was getting lower as the seconds go by, until the brain shuts down and the heart stops.
@@jordanthistle2360 thank you for the medic class, I know all that. AGAIN he did not die from lack of oxygen he died from a massive overdose. Coroner's report.
@@jordanthistle2360 what I meant by my comment, and I definitely worded it wrong.. but the entire time he was saying I can't breathe. You have to breathe to talk, so he was getting air. Again it is a HORRIBLE thing for him to die, but he caused his own death by overdosing on drugs.
@@jordanthistle2360 it doesn't take over 8 minutes to be rendered unconscious if your really being choked and you cant be choked on the back of the neck your air way is located in the front of the neck . No you also cant speak whine and cry for mommy while being choked to death you should try it sometime. Not guilty!!
The prosecution sucks, the Judge and defense attorney RULE big time. When I first saw the video on the news my first thoughts were the cops killed Floyd, but after seeing this case in court it seems the cops were under attack at the scene by bystanders and they had to watch their backs and at the same time keep Floyd under control. The crowd made things much worse by their actions and because of their actions the medics could not work on Floyd at the scene, they had to take him to a safe place to start working on him, so maybe they should charge the crowd with Floyd's death?.
Nice try. 4 men vs 1 handcuffed man and a crowd that didn't move past the curb. The lieutenant LITERALLY testified against the officers and said a few people yelling requests should Never effect or excuse officers on aiding someone or being professional. The Actual Lieutenant of police said this.
Problem here is the media only showed you edited footage... If I take a security video of a man running at me with a knife, I draw my gun and shoot him... The media will show you a video of me shooting him and that's all you'll see.... Headlines being "dangerous gun owner shoots unarmed person with a knife" The media footage: A: Officer with knee on neck and floyd calling for his mother as he dies The complete body camera footage shows Floyd A: Eating drugs destroying evidence. B: Resisting detainment C: Saying he cant breathe before cops even pinned him down D: Having a panic attack because of the drugs. E: Resisting arrest. F: Floyd being the one to ask to lay down. That's about as much information as most people missed which the media intentionally removed from their reporting.
@@360Roko 🤦 If a preschooler got kicked by their teacher and died and they had a preexisting heart condition, you’re not going to say that the toddler died from cardiovascular disease. It’s just ridiculous. He happened to OD and die“coincidentally” when a man was kneeling on his neck.
@@acelinomckinzie1956 Those two situations aren't even close, to being close, to being close to comparable. You're an idiot who's making a martyr out of a drug abusing degenerate and you're demonizing a normal working man just because he's white.
I did mma for 11 years. Not a choke. Carotid and larynx are on the front of the neck. Floyd was prone. You can’t compress the carotid or the larynx with the knee from above. So many people have demonstrated this obvious physical fact. You don’t need to be an MMA expert.
@Bob Yes he starts kicking because he can't breathe. The only resisting he did was when they tried to get him in the vehicle. He was obviously having a anxiety attack and felt claustrophobic. I have gotten that way when I have had anxiety attacks. They suck, and I'm glad I have only had a handful in my lifetime. If you have ever had one just put yourself in his shoes. If not ask someone who has how horrible they are.
@Bob I know what he meant though and so does anyone with a brain. He meant he was having trouble catching his breath. He misspoke because he was being suffocated. That was the cause of death by the coroner by the way. Not heart attack or drug overdose. I have said I can't breathe before everyone knew what I meant, none of them said well you couldn't talk if you couldn't breathe. What a ridiculous to say.
Didn't I just watch a video where this witness said that the defense attorney was not going to paint him as angry yet here he says multiple times he got more and more angry?
defense should have went one step further and asked him how many fights in his mma career were against someone under the effects of fentanyl. mma is NOT the same set of circumstances as a law enforcement situation. mma is irrelevent in this case. also, couldnt they have found a more reputable mma fighter to speak on choke holds and loss of conscience? maybe an actual doctor, because loss of conscience and the causes has an actual science associated with it
Defense attorney, “so you got angrier and angrier.” Witness, “No, I got professional and professional.” Prosecutor, “why did you get angrier and angrier.” Witness, “Because nobody listened to me [when I called them bitches].”
He was like wtf, that guy just asked me one question and made me rethink my entire life. I don't want to sell you deathsticks, I want to go home and rethink my life.
The way this judge handles questions to and answers from witnesses is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. This whole trial is a circus and a show. Str8 up sham.
Right there's something fishy here also they know there's going to be riots either way so why broadcast this. Why put this on TV or the internet, I think its to inflame the destruction of America from the inside.
I'm not sure how much time you have dealt with court, but the Judge is doing his job. There are no "feelings" or "what ifs" allowed. Which is all the witness was doing. To be put on the list as a "expert", then they tried to direct him to give facts when he can o ly give personal experiences. Aka, the prosecution was being dirty in attempt to have their particular narrative pushed. Hope this helps/makes sense.
I am not a doctor but I have undergone training in many different fields as an iron worker and safety coordinator. Anyone who has been trained as a safety coordinator in any type of construction outfit knows that the human body retain up to 8 minutes of oxygen as a natural default safety mechanism. The officer was on Mr Floyd's neck for a little better than 9 minutes and most of this time Mr Floyd was talking.. we all know that if you're talking that means you're getting oxygen so if you deduct the time from the last time Mr Floyd spoke or gasped to the time the officer got off him and EMTs took over you would see there's plenty of time to save Mr Floyd or resuscitate him via defibrillator or CPR. This has to be something other than death by strangulation. What the officer was doing was wrong but he did not murder this man and does not deserve a murder charge. Nor does the Floyd family deserve a predetermined $27 million... That's ridiculous!!! Out of everybody white ,black, red, purple, green, what makes this man so much more important than everybody else that has lost their life either through accident, or murder by police officer?? The man's casket was gold-plated for crying out loud this is ridiculous and it is a joke!!!
Yeah it's a disgrace! AmerIca watched the mess and AmerIca was silently pissed off, but was either sensored or was afraid to talk about how "we" truly felt about the shenanigans that took place... Everybody knew they going to exploit the hell out of this and that's what they did... All that did was enabled these terrorist groups called ANTIFA and BLM and allowed them to burn cities to the ground, and innocent people, innocent children were killed... there were no repercussions for their actions "over a man's overdose" ... It is truly disgusting all of this over CRACKHEAD...
The way the msm/ BLM/ lefties treated this incidence have made it difficult to be a witness as a black and also as white and it's gonna be even tougher for the judge. These 3 groups are only out there for just one verdict. Any other outcome is gonna be mad
Din’t know why your natrowmindedness made this a BLM/Leftie issue. That $27 million could’ve accomplished a lot, but for the idiocy of an incompetent (at best) or bitter Chauvin. The jury will likely have to consider Floyd’s hyperventilating response to the back seat and history of drug use and settle on manslaughter. I’ll give on the fact Chauvin remarked GF was probably on something. The callousness Chauvin showed by the length of time spent on Floyd’s neck is why I’d struggle between murder & manslaughter. The problem I’m having with current GOP is they have no interest in facts - just Party. After Sydney Powell’s acknowledging, “No reasonable person,” would’ve believed her claims of voter fraud, the GOP should’ve said, “We get it. We were being manipulated, etc” Not one Dem ive spoken to re Cuomo believes he should remain Governor. At the same time, GOP Election Cmtees that honored the vote were targeted by their own and families were threatened. Good luck with that has your moral floor.
@@preztruman-tv9zi all the prosecution has to prove is that chauvin CONTRIBUTED to floyd's death!!!! This is a easy case , I mean how can you watch that video and say this officer didn't contribute to the death? Unless you are under the idea that a cop can legally kill you if you resist and don't comply? I'm sorry but I would bet a million dollars they find him guilty 3rd degree manslaughter!!! It's so obvious in the video Even if Im on the police side , I can't say he didn't contribute to the death of floyd
@@preztruman-tv9zi To prove murder you'd have to prove he either wanted to kill GF (2nd degree) or that he was committing a crime when he kept his knee on GF's neck (3d degree). It will also need to be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the levels of Fentanyl in GF system could not have been fatal, also considering GF pre-existing heart condition. Regarding his intoxication, we don't just have the autopsy report but also messages that GF passengers have sent to other people asking to be picked up as he was too intoxicated to drive and was falling asleep, and we also have GF on video saying "I can't breathe" before he was on the ground with the officer's knee on his neck. I think that it will either be 3rd degree or manslaughter. 3rd degree, if it will be proven that he was in fact committing a crime when kneeling on GF for so long (use of excessive force), and if it is not reasonable that Fentanyl was the main cause of death. Manslaughter, if it will be proven that GF was having trouble breathing mainly due to drugs, and the officers both failed to recognize the symptoms of overdose and delayed GF from getting medical attention.
@@thefishylife6823 First, I believe i said “ Manslaughter”. What I “want” vs what one’s obligation as a juror can be pretty tough. I’d like to see a 40-year sentence. BUT, the jury must consider all the points the Defense will make. But Chauvin stating his assumption that Floyd’s being high IS relevant. A jurir can surmise, “Gee, Floyd’s a string guy...when you’re high, your adrenaline increases agitation.” A juror pre-disposed to give Chauvin a break can use that to argue Chauvin “assumed” Floyd would be hard to handle. Personally, the length of time Chauvin held him down is why I’d personally argue fir 2d degree murder , or, as i’d mentioned before, Manslaughter. You clearly took my post as what i want, vs what I believe jurors must weigh in the room. People i consider fair-minded, who have served on a felony juries have told me that when they believed a person guilty, they have had to weigh the EVIDENCE and not their dislike or sympathy for an accused. BTW, I’ve been on both sides of that equation, with LEO’s lying on the stand. Fortunately, I convinced my atty to put me in the stand. Later learned my testimony was the reason for my acquittal - against two lying cops and two lying vendors. Then I settled fir my legal fees. Oh, the issue? A Black busboy was called an “F’n N & Bl lazy dog,” The vendor attacked me fir asking him to chill with the racism. A double-leg takedown and two pops later he was down and i went to jail. Despite the acquittal, next time I’d take the pre-trial diversion. Even war didn’t make me feel as worried as 12 strangers (all White) with your future in their hands.
BLM IS A Marxist organization they don't care about black lives and they don't really care about George Floyd what happened to him just gave them an opportunity to flex and they took it and look what happened
I've said from the beginning there is a certain irony of a man SAYING he cant breathe... Anyone who's been choked before knows you cant speak... As all.... You can barely push enough air out of your longs for a silent wheeze...
@@eko4749 That is correct. To begin with if it was a blood choke youd still be able to breathe perfectly fine eliminating the whole "I cant breathe" thing.... I've seen people litterally sit around blood choking eachother having a full blown conversation and the dude randomly just drops and passes out within a few seconds of slurring his words.... A blood choke involves precise pressure. If you use a large item like your knee you're just pushing the vein not actually pinching it. To blood choke you need something like your fingers which can pierce deep enough into the skin to actually pinch the vessel... And besides... Your arteries are in the front/side of your neck... Not the back... Floyd was on his stomach.. From that angle youd have to snap his neck before you will reach his arteries.
@@flowforever9084 In a situation like this, his own bodies reaction is what's causing the restricted airway. Similar to how you become worked up and suddenly gasp for air because your body forgot how to breathe. This is the drug induced hypoxia the doctor who pronounced him dead spoke of. He was so worked up from the arrest and cracked out by the drugs that his body litterally forgot how to breathe and shut itself down. It's similar to dying from shock, the classic bus stopping 1 inch from hitting you and you pass out dead from the mere fact your body thought it was going to die. In an attempt to save yourself your body goes into a complete hibernation, however it rarely has the ability to jump itself back up... But sometimes you can find examples, like stories of dead men waking up 5+ minutes later...
When in a chokehold the universal sign of submission isn't "I can't breathe" it's tapping either on the ground or on the person who is choking you in order to let them know that 1. You either give up, because you can't win or 2. You give up because something is wrong.
@@trip9755 just explain exactly how, they were going to "help" this man breath when he was stating that while sitting in the vehicle? One of the effects of fentanyl OD is of shortness of breath because the oxygen is not getting into his lungs normally.

Literally all of it. are you saying that it's perfectly justifiable to kill a person during an arrest just because they're high? How many intoxicated people try to fight cops and only end up in drunk tank overnight?.... the man used a fake $20 bill, he didn't he didn't kidnap a child, it's not even clear if it was intentional.

You can’t blood choke somebody with just one knee. You have to block both arteries that run along opposite sides of the neck.
In order to apply enough pressure to collapse one of these arteries. You would have to have something solid on the opposite side of the neck that would prevent neck movement and flexing.

@@HoldenNY22 I am referring to both. Floyd was a bad human being who held a knife to a pregnant woman's stomach while him and his buddies robbed her, which is why he was on prison for his 5th time for a 7 year term. He also swallowed a handful of fentanyl before they pulled him out of the car while he was resisting. His actions put him in that situation that went bad. But I also believe the cop should be punished for his actions as well. There was no reason to kneel on a person for 10 minutes, especially when you have numerous cops around you, and you're not alone waiting for help to arrive. Considering the entire situation between both parties, I believe a 10 years in prison would be a fair sentence. No more, no less.

The defense asked way more than one question. Why edit them out?
I'm glad you asked rather than assume something untoward. You'd be surprised how many people don't do that and go down some crazy conspiracy rabbitholes. So, there was no video editing, as its a live feed, as you can see, no crazy camera cuts or continuity errors or any of that. So all of this is indeed live and not edited. There is a long section of this video where the audio feed was muted however, but this wasn't when the defense was making a case or probing with questions relevant to the case. It was simply for what the court call a "sidebar". This means a slight break from the trial that's intended solely as a private discussion with the judge, but indeed holds no relevance to the case. In most instances its an opportunity for the judge to explain to someone who may be unfamiliar with courtroom decorum on matters like how they should be presenting their accounts or even a suggestion of how best to proceed the trial. And as with all broadcasted court proceedings it is a legal requirement of any participating networks to not broadcast a sidebar, as its a private conversation and again, holds no relevance to the trial. I hope that clears it up for you :)

@William Fisher Fisher yea he said he can’t breath and is talking so let’s knee on him until he stops talking that way we know for sure he really can’t breath. Great logic there 🥾 👅
@@tonylvez it depends if you are being choke by obstructing the airways which it isn't the case or by starving the brain of oxygen by putting pressure in the arteries which are located at the side of the neck, which if you look at the video Chaving was putting pressure around the side of the neck as his face was sideways
Also the pressure to do that chokehold doesn't even need to be that strong nor damage any tissue as the more time passes the less oxygen his brain will received and will eventually die out.
Chauvin choke him for at least 8 mins even the slightest pressure in the neck for that long will eventually kill anyone
Floyd stopped responding and Chauvin still had his knee around his neck for another 1 or 2 minutes
I'm sorry but there is no way Chauvin wasn't involved in his death charges for murder might be debatably but not manslaughter which is in my opinion what happened and they should have gone with that
As I don't believe Chauvin wanted to kill him but Floyd died while having Chauvin 's knee on his neck so they should change the charges to manslaughter
Pathology reports shows he died from a drug overdose and not asphyxiation. Yes Chauvin should he reprimanded of excessive force but EXECUTION?! You’re delusional. Facts are there for us all to see.
@@shipwreckjs673 you can clearly see in thr video the extreme negligence of Chauvin during the hold to the point of having his hand in his pockets while there was ppl telling him he wasn't responding
You can aldo see both in the raw footage and on the viral video that Chauvin not only had one knee on his neck but he had the other one on hid back
That prone position he is not pleasant to breath it is possible but if you have an officer putting his knee on his back and knee then you csn see how Chauvin negligence caused Floyd's death
I seriously doubt they can get him on murder but manslaughter is more appropriate

Yeah, he’s an idiot. The knee on the back of the neck is not a choke. The carotid and larynx are on the front of the neck. There’s a spine and a bunch of neck muscles in the way when someone is prone. You can’t compress either the carotid or the larynx from above with the knee in that position.
I’m not an expert and I know that the Kimura is not a choke. What a freaking circus.
@PassionOfLifee the point is Floyd was NEVER in a chokehold
@PassionOfLifee I can't remember the exact quote, but he did reference the Kimura as a blood choke.
@PassionOfLifee I'm more than sure having over 3 times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system had nothing at all to do with the cause of asphyxiation. Anyone who has watched the entire police body cam video (and not just the 9 minute video) will tell you that Floyd was scream he couldn't breath and that he was dying while sitting in the back of the police vehicle.

I have train jiujtsu since my late teens( im almost 30). The knee on the neck is a choke only if you can block both sides of the carotid (usually by wrenching on the collar in a kimono or gi) in this instance im not sure how it is possible for both sides to be cut off unless they are arguing his neck was pressed so hard against the ground. So in my opinion this was not a “blood choke” or a air choke ( which basically your trachea has to be crushed which autopsy would show). This guy also called a kimura (shoulder lock) a choke. His grappling experience is highly suspect if you ask me. Im guessing he is local mma guy who focuses on striking.
@Sativa your intelligence is showing
Dude iv been doing jiu-jitsu for years as well, I noticed the same thing about the Kimura that was very odd.
Yeah calling a kimura a choke is very strange for a man with 11 professional MMA fights. I'm certainly no professional fighter but I've done a bit of BJJ and rolled a few times and the kimura is one of the most common submissions you see in BJJ/MMA. Most casual MMA fans are aware that a kimura is not a choke. It's not like we're talking about a Von Flue choke or an omoplata or some submission you rarely see so even if he's mostly a stand up fighter, how tf does he not know what a kimura is? Strange...

@@HighCountry81 Dude, the one side of his neck was pressed on but you have stop blood supply from both sides of the neck. There are 2 main arteries to the brain and numerous smaller veins that still feed blood and oxygen to the brain. You would have to suppress all of them to starve the brain.
@@HighCountry81 I agree in part. The delayed medical was not the issue in the beginning of this trial. For there to have been enough pressure due to compression on the street side then his whole neck would have to be lying completely flat against it and that is not possible due to his shoulders preventing it. If his neck had become compressed by both the knee and street then his neck would have to be broken to manage that. Even if Floyd was laying face down, sideways or face up the shoulders prevent that. Another example: When you look at TV commercials that advertise pillows because ppl complain about how the neck can never align enough for comfort. That is why some pillows were made with a curve in it so that it lies in enough prone position for comfort. Now for the Police Officer rendering aid. In theory yes but legally he is not obligated to personally render the aid, he is obligated to obtain the aid. His part is negligence due to a moral issue. That I do agree he is guilty of. He is guilty of Negligence. When you face people everyday who are career criminals of whom most would kill you in a second and your every day life is always at risk then Police officers become jaded and cynical. This happens to soldiers too. You go listen to WW2 or Vietnam soldiers and they can attest to what it is like when you are faced with death every day and how it affects your own humanity. You become jaded or desensitized. That is one of the problems with the youth today who eat sleep and breathe playing Grand Theft Auto or the ton of other simulations of killing. They become jaded also but in a different form. Youth become desensitized.....when they kill someone in real life there is no respawning.

What you are seeing are versions that have been altered to slant the view to appear like the officers are guilty. You don't see the version where he Floyd is fighting the officers, kicking one in the face several times and when he is on the road he did that on his own. He forced his way out of the squad car, dropping down to the road kicking the officers the whole time ( That is called resisting arrest ) Before the officers were ever wrestling with him he was screaming he couldn't breathe and he had a phobia of being in cars. Which made no sense since he had been driving! When he dropped to the road he was not face down he was on his side, then on his back kicking one officer in the face. Did you see any of that???? Then he was on his side again rolling back and forth from his side to his back then to his side again kicking and screaming he could not breathe and momma! Then the officer Derek placed his knee to his neck because his hands were trying to assist the other officers in stopping his kicking! Onlookers came along after this part and started filming from the sidewalk from their POV. Their POV completely alters what really happened. Officer Derek never had enough pressure to his neck to sever his breathing. He only had enough pressure to stop him from rolling over again to his back and keep kicking! That is the part you are not being allowed to see!!!! Try rolling over when your head or neck can not move. It is very difficult. That is what Officer Derek was trying to do was stop Floyd from rolling over back and forth from his side to his back. You can not control a suspect if they are on their back facing you. It makes it ten times harder to deal with. The people with their cameras came onto the scene after he had been rolling around kicking the officers. Their POV gives a false idea of what was happening because they could not see it because the car blocked the view.

George is trying to say I'm losing my ability to catch my breath due to the knee on his neck. He can't form complete sentences as he feels he has only a couple minutes of life left. Eventually he lost his entire ability to breathe in which he quit talking. And was dead.

Defense played him like a cheap drum. Somebody that can't breathe can't talk.
@@dexter726 Floyd started saying he could not breathe when placed in the patrol car before he fought/struggled himself out and continued to yell prior to any holds. Is that the kind of pulmonary issues that would limit him to a few words you're referencing?

The man is constantly asking the questions, and they keep interrupting
he was being arrested police didnt care to hear his mumbo jumbo. none of that was important after they said put your hands on the wheel and he refused I knew it was going south. that is called failure to comply. fighting police 30 minutes is called resisting. questions?? he just tried to pass fake money and got caught at that point he was a criminal. no one cared about his questions he could ask them in court
You clearly have never watched an actual trial
The look of confusion on his face was amazing. lol. Can you talk while being choked out? No.
because it seems so obvious, but the defense's point was to ask why Floyd was able to speak then..
How does one repeat the phrase "i cant breath" over and over in the video without "breathing"?
How does one sit behind the wheel of a Mercedes when officers arrive resisting to come out of said vehicle without being "claustrophobic" and yet cant sit in the back of a squad car without being "claustrophobic"?
It's going to come down to the fact that he was claiming he couldn't breathe while working to escape the patrol car and the drugs in his system. If he didn't use the 'I can't breathe' line during his escape attempt they might actually have listened to him and made adjustments on the ground. No matter what tho this guy is going to walk.
"escape attempt"? LOL . HE was in handcuffs. How far do you think someones going to escape for with their hands behind their backs in handcuffs?
@@johnnytorres277 a rational person you mean?
How hard is it to realize someone is unconscious? The cop holding his legs said it like 4 mins in. He said "maybe we should roll him to his side" and "i think he's passing out" while Floyd's body was convulsing. But Chauvin decided to keep his knee there for another 4 mins. End result he died under his knee while the other cops had already let go. Undeniably 3rd degree murder aka involuntary manslaughter...
@@dalindr maybe, maybe not but the drugs in his system will be enough reasonable doubt for any jury. That's all I'm saying. There is no way to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
@@johnnytorres277 he slid through the cop car while claiming he couldn't breathe. It's in the body cam video. Obviously they weren't going to believe him a second time.

Any time a witness says "I think" or "I feel" it should be thrown out, emotions shouldn't be tolerated in a witness testimony.

Exactly👏🏼you can’t talk if you can’t breathe. Period
Well, floyd did talk.
They are different chokes. air chokes you can't talk. Blood chokes you can a little.. you can still breathe
To understand the case you have to understand the drug fentanyl. Clearly. When oding on fentanyl you're unable to take deep breathes and you die. Now, when george is saying I can't breath, this isn't that complicated. This is why he wouldn't get in the police car.

Just because you do not SEE some one "fighting back" while being detained does NOT mean they were not resisting

"over ruled, that is not a real objection."
I’ll quote Liar Liar....
“I OBJECT”!
“On what grounds”?
“Because it’s devastating to my case”!
Great point, did not think about that. Once air is "cut off" you can't speak...
How is it a great point ? You feel as if you can't breathe when someone is constricting your airway, and cutting off oxygenated blood to the brain. We was still able to get a small bit of air In as his. He was suffering from extreme Hypoxemia (low oxygen in blood) which lead to Mr. Floyd becoming hypoxic (low oxygen in tissues). When your sp02 (blood oxygenation percent) goes lower than 90 it feels like it is hard to breathe under mr. Floyds sp02 was getting lower as the seconds go by, until the brain shuts down and the heart stops.
@@jordanthistle2360 thank you for the medic class, I know all that. AGAIN he did not die from lack of oxygen he died from a massive overdose. Coroner's report.
@@baldfireman Lmao, that's hilarious
@@jordanthistle2360 what I meant by my comment, and I definitely worded it wrong.. but the entire time he was saying I can't breathe. You have to breathe to talk, so he was getting air. Again it is a HORRIBLE thing for him to die, but he caused his own death by overdosing on drugs.

The prosecution sucks, the Judge and defense attorney RULE big time. When I first saw the video on the news my first thoughts were the cops killed Floyd, but after seeing this case in court it seems the cops were under attack at the scene by bystanders and they had to watch their backs and at the same time keep Floyd under control. The crowd made things much worse by their actions and because of their actions the medics could not work on Floyd at the scene, they had to take him to a safe place to start working on him, so maybe they should charge the crowd with Floyd's death?.
U are correct. The crowd bears responsibility for his death. They prolonged his restraint, and emt help.
@@mikemeyer4800 You're one in a million that would agree with that, thank you.
Nice try. 4 men vs 1 handcuffed man and a crowd that didn't move past the curb. The lieutenant LITERALLY testified against the officers and said a few people yelling requests should Never effect or excuse officers on aiding someone or being professional. The Actual Lieutenant of police said this.
@@doesntmatter6453 Well if the lieutenant said it then it must be true right?.
Problem here is the media only showed you edited footage... If I take a security video of a man running at me with a knife, I draw my gun and shoot him... The media will show you a video of me shooting him and that's all you'll see.... Headlines being "dangerous gun owner shoots unarmed person with a knife"
The media footage:
A: Officer with knee on neck and floyd calling for his mother as he dies
The complete body camera footage shows Floyd
A: Eating drugs destroying evidence.
B: Resisting detainment
C: Saying he cant breathe before cops even pinned him down
D: Having a panic attack because of the drugs.
E: Resisting arrest.
F: Floyd being the one to ask to lay down.
That's about as much information as most people missed which the media intentionally removed from their reporting.

It wasn’t a chokehold, it was simply a grown man kneeling on someones neck. Regardless of what you call this position the man was still dead.

I did mma for 11 years. Not a choke. Carotid and larynx are on the front of the neck. Floyd was prone. You can’t compress the carotid or the larynx with the knee from above. So many people have demonstrated this obvious physical fact. You don’t need to be an MMA expert.
Well Mr. Bunny any MMA fighter can do choke hold. I was shown at work how to break a person's trachea, it's quite easy.
Thats funny that this guy didnt see Floyd resisting.. i watched the bodycam footage and i don't know what else i would describe that as?
Just cover what they want even tho the body camera shows everything
Struggling to catch your breath?
@Bob Yes he starts kicking because he can't breathe. The only resisting he did was when they tried to get him in the vehicle. He was obviously having a anxiety attack and felt claustrophobic. I have gotten that way when I have had anxiety attacks. They suck, and I'm glad I have only had a handful in my lifetime. If you have ever had one just put yourself in his shoes. If not ask someone who has how horrible they are.
More stupid people
@Bob I know what he meant though and so does anyone with a brain. He meant he was having trouble catching his breath. He misspoke because he was being suffocated. That was the cause of death by the coroner by the way. Not heart attack or drug overdose. I have said I can't breathe before everyone knew what I meant, none of them said well you couldn't talk if you couldn't breathe. What a ridiculous to say.
*Attorney:* can you state your name for the record?
*other attorney:* objection your honor.

If that guy is a "mma" fighter then I'm an astronaut.
What an upstanding citizen.
defense should have went one step further and asked him how many fights in his mma career were against someone under the effects of fentanyl. mma is NOT the same set of circumstances as a law enforcement situation. mma is irrelevent in this case. also, couldnt they have found a more reputable mma fighter to speak on choke holds and loss of conscience? maybe an actual doctor, because loss of conscience and the causes has an actual science associated with it
For the prosecution it's all emotions and theater because the facts and science are against them.
I agree but defense still did good
This witness was there
Defense attorney, “so you got angrier and angrier.” Witness, “No, I got professional and professional.” Prosecutor, “why did you get angrier and angrier.” Witness, “Because nobody listened to me [when I called them bitches].”
He was like wtf, that guy just asked me one question and made me rethink my entire life. I don't want to sell you deathsticks, I want to go home and rethink my life.
😅😅 funny way to put it but truth
Actually they edited out defense getting the witness angry when asking him why he got angry at the seen. The prosecutor established this fact.
The way this judge handles questions to and answers from witnesses is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. This whole trial is a circus and a show. Str8 up sham.
Right there's something fishy here also they know there's going to be riots either way so why broadcast this. Why put this on TV or the internet, I think its to inflame the destruction of America from the inside.
I'm not sure how much time you have dealt with court, but the Judge is doing his job. There are no "feelings" or "what ifs" allowed. Which is all the witness was doing. To be put on the list as a "expert", then they tried to direct him to give facts when he can o ly give personal experiences. Aka, the prosecution was being dirty in attempt to have their particular narrative pushed.
Hope this helps/makes sense.
@@Jack-oz4bf So you suggest no transparency? Yea, bc that goes well lol.
I am not a doctor but I have undergone training in many different fields as an iron worker and safety coordinator. Anyone who has been trained as a safety coordinator in any type of construction outfit knows that the human body retain up to 8 minutes of oxygen as a natural default safety mechanism. The officer was on Mr Floyd's neck for a little better than 9 minutes and most of this time Mr Floyd was talking.. we all know that if you're talking that means you're getting oxygen so if you deduct the time from the last time Mr Floyd spoke or gasped to the time the officer got off him and EMTs took over you would see there's plenty of time to save Mr Floyd or resuscitate him via defibrillator or CPR. This has to be something other than death by strangulation. What the officer was doing was wrong but he did not murder this man and does not deserve a murder charge. Nor does the Floyd family deserve a predetermined $27 million... That's ridiculous!!! Out of everybody white ,black, red, purple, green, what makes this man so much more important than everybody else that has lost their life either through accident, or murder by police officer??
The man's casket was gold-plated for crying out loud this is ridiculous and it is a joke!!!
Ridiculous is having the American Flag Draped on the gold coffin like he was a hero who died by his life style!
Yeah it's a disgrace! AmerIca watched the mess and AmerIca was silently pissed off, but was either sensored or was afraid to talk about how "we" truly felt about the shenanigans that took place... Everybody knew they going to exploit the hell out of this and that's what they did... All that did was enabled these terrorist groups called ANTIFA and BLM and allowed them to burn cities to the ground, and innocent people, innocent children were killed... there were no repercussions for their actions "over a man's overdose" ... It is truly disgusting all of this over CRACKHEAD...
Please stick to iron work and stop embarrassing yourself. Your entire comment is ridiculous.
The way the msm/ BLM/ lefties treated this incidence have made it difficult to be a witness as a black and also as white and it's gonna be even tougher for the judge. These 3 groups are only out there for just one verdict. Any other outcome is gonna be mad
Din’t know why your natrowmindedness made this a BLM/Leftie issue. That $27 million could’ve accomplished a lot, but for the idiocy of an incompetent (at best) or bitter Chauvin.
The jury will likely have to consider Floyd’s hyperventilating response to the back seat and history of drug use and settle on manslaughter.
I’ll give on the fact Chauvin remarked GF was probably on something.
The callousness Chauvin showed by the length of time spent on Floyd’s neck is why I’d struggle between murder & manslaughter.
The problem I’m having with current GOP is they have no interest in facts - just Party.
After Sydney Powell’s acknowledging, “No reasonable person,” would’ve believed her claims of voter fraud, the GOP should’ve said, “We get it. We were being manipulated, etc”
Not one Dem ive spoken to re Cuomo believes he should remain Governor.
At the same time, GOP Election Cmtees that honored the vote were targeted by their own and families were threatened.
Good luck with that has your moral floor.
@@preztruman-tv9zi all the prosecution has to prove is that chauvin CONTRIBUTED to floyd's death!!!!

It's so obvious in the video Even if Im on the police side , I can't say he didn't contribute to the death of floyd
@@thefishylife6823 I agree but to me, it was first degree murder.
@@preztruman-tv9zi To prove murder you'd have to prove he either wanted to kill GF (2nd degree) or that he was committing a crime when he kept his knee on GF's neck (3d degree).
It will also need to be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the levels of Fentanyl in GF system could not have been fatal, also considering GF pre-existing heart condition.
Regarding his intoxication, we don't just have the autopsy report but also messages that GF passengers have sent to other people asking to be picked up as he was too intoxicated to drive and was falling asleep, and we also have GF on video saying "I can't breathe" before he was on the ground with the officer's knee on his neck.
I think that it will either be 3rd degree or manslaughter.
3rd degree, if it will be proven that he was in fact committing a crime when kneeling on GF for so long (use of excessive force), and if it is not reasonable that Fentanyl was the main cause of death.
Manslaughter, if it will be proven that GF was having trouble breathing mainly due to drugs, and the officers both failed to recognize the symptoms of overdose and delayed GF from getting medical attention.
@@thefishylife6823 First, I believe i said “ Manslaughter”.
What I “want” vs what one’s obligation as a juror can be pretty tough.
I’d like to see a 40-year sentence. BUT, the jury must consider all the points the Defense will make.
But Chauvin stating his assumption that Floyd’s being high IS relevant.
A jurir can surmise, “Gee, Floyd’s a string guy...when you’re high, your adrenaline increases agitation.”
A juror pre-disposed to give Chauvin a break can use that to argue Chauvin “assumed” Floyd would be hard to handle.
Personally, the length of time Chauvin held him down is why I’d personally argue fir 2d degree murder , or, as i’d mentioned before, Manslaughter.
You clearly took my post as what i want, vs what I believe jurors must weigh in the room.
People i consider fair-minded, who have served on a felony juries have told me that when they believed a person guilty, they have had to weigh the EVIDENCE and not their dislike or sympathy for an accused.
BTW, I’ve been on both sides of that equation, with LEO’s lying on the stand. Fortunately, I convinced my atty to put me in the stand. Later learned my testimony was the reason for my acquittal - against two lying cops and two lying vendors.
Then I settled fir my legal fees.
Oh, the issue? A Black busboy was called an “F’n N & Bl lazy dog,” The vendor attacked me fir asking him to chill with the racism. A double-leg takedown and two pops later he was down and i went to jail.
Despite the acquittal, next time I’d take the pre-trial diversion. Even war didn’t make me feel as worried as 12 strangers (all White) with your future in their hands.

I've said from the beginning there is a certain irony of a man SAYING he cant breathe...
Anyone who's been choked before knows you cant speak... As all.... You can barely push enough air out of your longs for a silent wheeze...
To say “I can’t breathe” can only be a lie
@@dylancoleman1921 .....its not a lie. Your air is being restricted is what they mean you fool.
Unless its a blood choke youre correct. However I dont think you can effectively blood choke someone with your knee like that
@@eko4749 That is correct. To begin with if it was a blood choke youd still be able to breathe perfectly fine eliminating the whole "I cant breathe" thing.... I've seen people litterally sit around blood choking eachother having a full blown conversation and the dude randomly just drops and passes out within a few seconds of slurring his words.... A blood choke involves precise pressure. If you use a large item like your knee you're just pushing the vein not actually pinching it. To blood choke you need something like your fingers which can pierce deep enough into the skin to actually pinch the vessel...
And besides... Your arteries are in the front/side of your neck... Not the back... Floyd was on his stomach.. From that angle youd have to snap his neck before you will reach his arteries.
@@flowforever9084 In a situation like this, his own bodies reaction is what's causing the restricted airway. Similar to how you become worked up and suddenly gasp for air because your body forgot how to breathe. This is the drug induced hypoxia the doctor who pronounced him dead spoke of. He was so worked up from the arrest and cracked out by the drugs that his body litterally forgot how to breathe and shut itself down.
It's similar to dying from shock, the classic bus stopping 1 inch from hitting you and you pass out dead from the mere fact your body thought it was going to die. In an attempt to save yourself your body goes into a complete hibernation, however it rarely has the ability to jump itself back up... But sometimes you can find examples, like stories of dead men waking up 5+ minutes later...
Trained in chokeholds... he’s been taken out in many. Couldn’t speak either.
The cop is not guilty
This “MMA” fighter just tapped out verbally!🤣
When in a chokehold the universal sign of submission isn't "I can't breathe" it's tapping either on the ground or on the person who is choking you in order to let them know that 1. You either give up, because you can't win or 2. You give up because something is wrong.
