New documentary out about the death of George Floyd, the ensuing riots in Minneapolis and the trial of Derek Chauvin.
Anyone else watched it yet?

Also on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eFPi3EigjFA
Will give it a look.
Derek Chauvin was stabbed in Federal Prison on Friday. The man deserves a retrial damnit

Just watched it.
It's a bit suspicious that they showed almost nothing of the actual 7 or 8 minutes with Chauvin's knee on him. They showed all kinds of footage of everything else. I would like to have seen it in better detail.
That said, there was nothing at all surprising about how the the media and politicians ran with the bullshit narrative. What I didn't know is how easily that puke Mayor handed the city over to his thug friends in the streets and crapped all over law enforcement. What a piece of fucking shit that guy is.
I just watched it as well, and while I found it curious that they didn't show that portion I also think they didn't need to due to us knowing the end result. Also from watching it we now know the officers involved where hung out to dry by their superiors and city officials, and 100% also by the judge and others with ulterior motives. There are a lot of cowards exposed in that documentary and none of them are paying the price...
In all honesty I feel there won't be a retrial because those same officials are afraid of the mob mentality and the BS retaliation of the BLM crowd (another conversation altogether), and how the city will suffer by while also showing how wrong they were. I hope and pray I'm wrong

As someone who has a very close acquaintance who paid the price for a political witchhunt 25 years ago....none of this is shocking. That case....a good man, a well loved and respected man to the world renowned organization he worked for...a lifetime of service destroyed. This man did no wrong and gained nothing from the actions which he was accused of. Why did this happen, because the government was after the "bigger fish" organization and this man would not turn on them. The organization even paid for his defense and even retired him with full pension. Well surely, the organization did something wrong to do this for the man. Nope. At this mans sentencing, the judge knew the case was bullshit and passed a minimum sentence ruling...far, far less than the prosecutors asked for.
Whether Chauvin was to partly blame for Floyds death or not, his case was criminally handled. Tried by the media and politicians...guilty out of the gate. The other officers lives ruined too. When police are not allowed to do their job or are prosecuted for doing it by the book, the world is upside down. Sure, there are bad cops, I'm not seeing that in these body-cam shots. What we have is a career criminal who resisted and lied from the drop. Floyds death, based on this video, was caused by an overdose...him swallowing the drugs seems to be the reason.
It's appalling the mayor/governor sacrificed their police force and the precinct, for reasons which can only be about division/politics.
If you're paying attention...you know this country is fucked.
I’m curious to hear the downvoter’s opinions on this matter.
Don't hold your breath.
They'll have to go back through their archives to remember what they've been told to think.
Could be awhile.
Apparently they don't have the balls to go all mainstream media on "you people"
To me, the knee on the neck is the primary issue. All we or at least I ever saw was footage that the media was willing to show. Certainly there would have been more body cam that actually showed whether or not Chauvin was acting according to the training photo. Was his knee actually on Floyd's neck or not. The training photo showed the cops knee on the suspects upper back and shoulders. The one, single photo of Chauvin looked like his knee was on Floyd's neck. That part of the documentary was vague. The interviewer was not asking the right questions. The fact that she was asking Chauvin's mother for clarity on the technique was fucking bizarre.The training photo clearly shows the technique but was Chauvin applying it correctly? She never asked that. All she asked was if the method was approved or not. Which it clearly was. Intentionally misleading in my opinion.
I hate the fucking media. Who the fuck is Alpha news? I don't trust anybody anymore.
I did not watch this, but I saw a video from another angle where the knee couldn't have done anything to his air supply. The fucking drugs he took killed him from what I've gathered.
I don't disagree with anything you said. The fact remains though (if I'm remembering it correctly) that the official coroner's report claimed no bruising on the neck or shoulders, and he didn't die of asphyxiation. I'd agree being held down helped lead to his death, but he was complaining of not being able to breathe when they were trying to get that piece of work in the squad car. Seems he was on the way out even then... and then the EMS/Fire issues made it all worse. Too many facts were not permitted in the trail and Chauvin should get a new trial altogether
More downvotes without opinion. Let's hear your opinions and why you disagree
The boys club pulled out an oldie to rant about with their blinders on.
Cute.
Basically what you said about the coroner, and my memory is blurry to details, but he had enough drugs in his system to kill him. I don't know if those details are in the documentary.
When he held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, he should have been publicly hung immediately. Dude was a total thug pos before the final crime using fake money, and resisting arrest.
Blinders on... Explain please; after you watch the documentary. Or do you trust what the media has fed you without looking further?
Yes they clearly stated the amount of drugs in his system was enough to kill him from swallowing them when he was pulled over (video proof); plus he had underlying conditions. They also stated the Floyd family had a private coroner report who claimed he was a healthy man, even though those two doctors DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM and went by hearsay. They went public with a total line of BS and the media ate it up (as did the POS in the highest office in our USA). That's the true crime
How many felonies did that scumbag have? The law should be three and you’re out. I’m 35 and haven’t had to try very hard not to rack up 20 some felonies. Seventeen too many in my book. Then they gave the pos how many funerals and a gold casket and a giant settlement to the “family”. Spare me the bullshit and good riddance. Race ain’t got shit to do with it.
Enlighten us on the truth oh so knowledgeable one.
Pit Row
I thought GF was a COVID death?
The shit part is the discussion of whether or not it was being applied correctly never made it to court. And Chauvin's higher-ups denied under oath that it was an approved technique.
Obviously, this documentary has a narrative, but there's enough facts presented to prove Chauvin and his fellow officers were railroaded by the weak Minneapolis leadership. They didn't receive fair trials.
Apparently there is video that shows he knee was NOT on the neck. The Judge did not allow it into evidence. The judge was not going to allow this trial to end in a NOT GUILTY verdict. The upper officers testified that this was not a trained restraint. However apparently DC's mom has a copy of his training manual from the PD that gives instructions for that. That training manual issued to DC that she has was also not allowed into evidence by the judge. I did not watch the documentary but did listen to a podcast of so many of the things that would have come back with a NOT GUILTY verdict but the question becomes, do you destroy one man or destroy the city if he walked free. You know the city would have been destroyed. Look at all the destruction that happened even after they generated a guilty verdict. Apparently GF was saying "I can't breath" before he was ever restrained, again the tapes were not allowed.
I think there was too much pressure to get a guilty verdict and everyone played along. Would he have been convicted with other evidence allowed? I don't know, but what was done was to guarantee a guilty verdict.
So he was moved to another prison for his "own protection".
Then stabbed 22 times by a Mexican mafia member, who is/was/always will be, an FBI informant, in the name of BLM.
Who had served 27 yrs of a 30 yr sentence.
🤔
In prison, and out in the real world, blacks and mexicans are nothing if not mortal enemies.
And Epstein didn't kill himself either.
Putting your knee on the back of someone's neck won't stop them from breathing- the spine is keeping the windpipe from being compressed.
At one time the full 16 minute video was available online, and Floyd was complaining about breathing while the knee was on his neck. If you can't breathe you can't talk, hence the need for the international choking sign. He died of a drug overdose. That did occur while he was in police custody, so an argument could be made that someone was negligent, but Chauvin was railroaded.
The only negligent one is he who voluntarily ingested a lethal amount of drugs. Case closed. Good riddance.
The coroner did not say he died from asphyxiation. He died from heart complications exacerbated by knee pressure on the carotid artery which restricted blood flow to the brain. BTW, the knee was on the side of his neck in the only photo I have seen.
Did the coroner factor in that he had three times enough fentanyl in his system to kill him?
Yes, although it wasn't 3 times the lethal amount. It was less than a lethal amount but he did say it could have been a contributing factor but was not the cause of death. Cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest.
I’ve heard that he did, just googled it and there are other opinions out there as well. They have ruled death on fentanyl at 3 and he had 11. But they say his size and past drug use would affect what it would take to kill him.
Some also say he also had meth in his system which could add to the effects of fentanyl.
Like everything, ask 4 different people and you get 7 different answers.
We will never know the truth. But I believe Chauvin was a scapegoat.
