QUOTE=retiredguy123;1922765]Police training videos show that putting a knee on a person's neck is an acceptable restraining procedure. This was not the cause of death. George Floyd was 6 foot 3 and weighed 225 pounds. Chauvin was 5 foot 9 and weighed 145 pounds. Floyd was resisting arrest and was high on drugs. Put yourself in Chauvin's position. I hope he is found not guilty. My 2 cents.

And this thread is replete.
I hadn't followed much of this, but in reading the autopsies, some of the rationale being used to make the victim guilty is simply mind boggling.
I think of the rape cases, lessening now....where the female victim ended up on trial because she wore a short skirt, gave off vibes, etc. Blame the victim....she was not a virgin...she deserved to be raped.
Lots of similarities. I hope the law wins in this case, and people just put their hate away, learn and grow
