Do you have all the facts that will be brought to light? I don't understand how someone can make a statement like this unless they know al of the facts.

I don't have anymore facts than what has been reported in the media. One thing that I haven't seen brought up here however is the fact that Officer Chauvin and Mr Floyd had a history. From what I understand they worked together as security guards, had several arguments and threats had been made.

This was no mistake and not the first nor last black person to die from lack of oxygen by a choke hold.

Everyone knows if you stop oxygen to the brain you will die how much proof do you need.

Doctors don’t target black people to make mistakes on, way different.

Let's reread that first sentence again ... "spoken like a true white person"

Racist thought that is well, simply despicable ... we need for guilty white liberals stop their self-abuse

You are dreaming. They are going to hang these guys cause the BLM will once again riot, protest and stamp their feet if they don't. It doesn't matter if Floyd was high and crazy or a hardened criminal. They will be the fall guys no matter the truth or circumstances.

That’s what my mom told me too. But that still doesn’t excuse kneeing someone on their neck when he was handcuffed and it was 4 against one.

I agree with you but I’ll do you one better. When a governor makes a mistake and kills thousands he is never charged with a crime.

I may have misspoken. I don’t know that his carotid artery was occluded, but I believe an interruption in blood supply was on the autopsy. The point I was trying to make was even if Floyd’s airway was open, an interruption of blood supply may have contributed to his death. It sounded like Chauvin was making an effort to assess Floyd’s well being with the comment if he can talk he can breathe but may have overlooked the fact that the blood supply to his heart and brain may have been interrupted. Floyd would have been able to talk for a period of time depending on the severity of an occlusion. Read my later comment regarding Fentanyl. This may have been a much larger factor than put out in the media.

Sadly I have to agree with you. I hope we’re proven wrong.

BLM doesn’t believe in the justice system.

BLM and ANTIFA are hoping that will happen so they have the excuse to loot and burn. BLM is a known Marxist/Communist group whose goal is to eliminate capitalism and turn our great country to sociaism/communism. They are doing this under the guise of black lives inequality. Are you racist? Do you know anyone who is? They all should be rounded up and jailed.

I’m disgusted by the replies I’m reading on this post. Just stop for 8 minutes and 46 seconds and imagine a knee pressed hard on your neck and you can’t move. All because of a counterfeit bill? Those who think the cop is innocent of murder is not paying any attention nor have any sense of reality.

The defense will use the female witness in the car and bodycam video and audio to prove it.

True enough; nothing in the linked article was in quotes except when Leslie Stahl or Chief Arradondo were actually quoting someone else, just like in the 2 excerpts you included below. It turns out that the quote was actually from narration by Leslie Stahl (as opposed to the Q&A), which was not apparent in the transcript of the interview. The 2nd quote you included below says basically the same thing in the Chief's own words.

Chief Medaria Arradondo: That was preliminary information that was absolutely an official police statement however, um, that was not accurate.

The Chief may or may not be called to testify at the trials. I'm sure the defense lawyers will use whatever video & witnesses they can to attempt to prove their clients' innocence.

It was quite obvious that the cop knew exactly what he was doing. It was cold blooded murder. There is no doubt in my mind or anyone else’s for that matter.

Now for the interesting question. Was Floyd and the police officer into washing money together? What if Floyd told the officer he was going to be arrested with him?
There is more to this than we are seeing.

This is one of the goofiest, unfounded conspiracy theories yet in this entire episode.
