The Trial Of Derek Chauvin, Death Of George Floyd

[John]

Well anyway, I think the only reasonable response to the pigs head being left at the defence witnesses house is to nail a bag of Fentanyl to the prosecution witnesses front door.

The repercussions of this prosecution will stretch far beyond the courtroom in Minneapolis.

Isn't it strange that it was the Daily Mail who broke the story with the US press playing catch-up?

I doubt you can prove that.

IMO George Floyd was the agent of his own destruction. Had he not participated in criminal activity, taken drugs and fought with police he would probably be alive still.

It appears the pig's head on a stick is a common theme here.

"Minnesota police have arrested 24 people amid clashes with Black Lives Matter protesters brandishing a pig's head on a stake on a fourth night of chaos on Wednesday following the police shooting of a black man there days earlier."

Do you think he deserved to die under the knee of the police officer?

What’s that supposed to prove?

I think the trial should have been held outside of Minneapolis & the jury sequestered for the full trial.

In the George Zimmerman trial (a hispanic guy who shot dead a black youth) the jury were sequestered for 22 days because of the level of protest.

The defence attempted to have it moved but judge Cahill wouldn't permit it.

I believe that was the original story.

Why do you believe that?

It was accidental imo. It's time career criminals realised that they are not untouchable.

[Venturi Swirl]

It was accidental imo.

so manslaughter then.

The judge was of the opinion that moving it would only move the rioting and looting. Minneapolis was as good a venue as anywhere else in the State of Minnesota.

No, but if the police had shot him dead when he was robbing a pregnant woman at gun point I'd see no good reason to question the use of force.

Well he wasn’t so that’s a completely spurious argument.
