I would never kneel on anyone’s neck because it’ll hurt them

Defense is up to bat... Another home run incoming...
Notice how this expert witness said "knee on the NECK" ?

Yes. And I saw where he spent an extensive amount of time over nearly a year picking out the perfect still-shots. Nelson is destroying him already, it's pleasant...
Don't know man. That doc was pretty convincing..

What evidence did you see ? All I saw was the guy kneel on the guys neck until he died . The guy on the ground warned him he couldn’t breath . Jerk didn’t care and kneeled on his neck until he died . That’s what I remember, I could be wrong

"Arrests are not made on the basis of someone being a threat".
Really, Baker Act anyone? How many Peeps get arrested, errr detained, for failing to ID even though not required to do so in many states? Tens of thousands of youtube clips and lawsuits say you is wrong.
"They are made when someone breaks the law.
Floyd broke the law, then resisted arrest."
Riiiiight, the ole resisting arrest hooey.
Guess you are OK with theses thugs costing taxpayers $300 million in lawsuits a year then.

And lets get to the real point here, if this was a dog or a pretty blonde, the narrative would be 180 out. Especially as evidenced in the thread about the officer beating his K9 partner.

I've been keeping an eye on the trial in Minnesota.
My wife works in a bank in an urban area so I want to be aware of possible issues of the riot variety.
From everything I've seen on the news and social media, the cop is going to be found guilty...
In the actual courtroom, the cop is going to be acquitted. The prosecution is failing miserably.
Im not here to discuss the trial itself as that's been beaten to dust around here but.....
The media coverage is in my opinion slanting their coverage either towards their desired outcome or in a blatant attempt to poke the public opinion bear.
So from a legal standpoint, is the media liable for the damage done in the coming riots?
Opinions?
Anyone?
Bueller?

No he didnt in fact officers testifying all said it was accesive force.
Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified that officers are not trained to kneel on the necks of suspects.

I feel like there will be riots either way.
Maybe, but on different scales.
If he is found guilty on all counts the riots will be more of a celebration like a superbowl win.
Innocent on all counts....
Lock and load
If they're looting businesses, dragging average joes out of trucks to smash their heads with a brick, burning down buildings, and behaving like demons, does it really make a hill of bean's difference whether it's in celebration or protest? Lock and load either way, literally it is the only way to stop this cycle of asshattery once and for all.
