“Resisting arrest” while cuffed and walking fairly calmly with the cop lmao

Here's the full clip from that camera. The MPD's line that Floyd was resisting arrest is complete and utter bullshit,according to this feed.

Edit: This does not show what happened after Floyd was put on the ground, just the several minutes leading up to that after he was escorted from his own vehicle.

yeah..for sure they'll have some story, probably along the lines of 'that the suspect randomly became violent after one of them starting using his neck as a knee-rest and all 4 of them feared for their lives'

pretty sure that hat picture being circulated is fake and gay
here's an actual article about Derek Chauvin and his family from 2018, its about his wife who competed to be Mrs Minnesota in a beauty contest

I would argue the officers (not merely the officer with his knee on the man's throat) knew exactly what they were doing. When the man is unconscious and the officer is still blocking air, the only possible reason for doing so is to cause brain death. It's not a lack of knowledge or training, based solely on the evidence we have on hand, that is witnessed. It's the willful choice to commit murder on behalf of the "restraining officer" and a willful decision to allow a murder to occur on the part of the 3 supporting officers. Again, we don't have 100% of the facts, so that's not a 100% judgement, it's a calculated estimation based on actions verses the situation that can clearly be seen in the video.



Good!



Depends if criminal wrongdoing charges are pursued against the officers in question. If criminal charges are brought, then any attempt to sue the city would be delayed pending the result of those charges. If convictions are handed out, most especially with felony charges (such as murder) being at the heart of the issue, then no, no breach of contract civil suit could occur. If no criminal charges are filed, then it is indeed possible (depending on the contracts in that police district) that a wrongful breach of contract could be claimed.

Firing them is not enough. This appears to be willful and unjustifiable murder by the police based on the evidence that is to be seen, paired with the statements made by the police department itself. Not pursuing the case into criminal trial where all four officers are concerned would be to excuse their actions.

Conor mcgregor would have tapped from that neck crank.
Jokes aside these four should get life.

In the case of Holly Holm, Ronda got it in her head that she could strike with one of the greatest female strikers of all time and not gameplan her grappling like she did every other fight before this.

In the case of Amanda Nunes, Ronda just ran into the scariest women on the planet and pretty looked like she almost got killed.

In both cases she tried to grapple and couldn't get hold of her opponent. When it turned out she couldn't simply dominate these women with her BJJ, she tried to box. That foot to the head was still one of the most brutally efficient KOs I've ever seen in female combat sports.

You are not allowed to put any pressure on the neck, unless it’s a use of deadly force situation.


I honestly think the cop who kneeled on his neck was just plain ignorant to his placing of his knee. To purposely kill someone while knowingly being filmed is just plain dumb.

Either way he gets what he deserves and I’m pro police

Exactly. And as I stated before, he was told by all onlookers, "he's unconscious, get off him, let him breathe" and he looked down, saw it was true, and still refused.

It was murder, no doubt.
