This body cam video is so hard to watch, him crying and begging not be shot. The cops went into this all Rambo. They escalated from the start.
over 20 dollars
It is absolutely despicable. The way they put the gun on him immediately. If that had been a white dude they would have kindly knocked on the window, asked the guy to step out to talk and no gun would have been drawn, ever (unless the person got hostile of course). This guy sobs and begs them not to shoot him from the start and they just keep their gun on him the whole time anyway.

The cops also seem completely unfazed by just holding him there unresponsive too. Like this is just a Sunday in the park, whatever.

to the EMTs "You might wanna check him, he's not responsive."
NO fucking shit.

And honestly good for those bystanders heckling them. They deserve every single word.

I'm a bit behind willow
One cop has his hand on his wrist and couldn't be bothered to check for a pulse.

I saw a post on FB complaining about the judge - saying he is biased towards the defense. I have only watched bits and pieces so I can't comment, do you think the judge is bad?

Technically I think all cases should weigh in favor of defense because you know innocent until proven guilty (as long as you're white anyway). But I really havent seen anything egregious

He has been both a PD and a prosecutor in his former life and a prosecutor for the last 10 years before he became a judge, for the same county. I know he’s an old white man so it’s healthy to be skeptical of him in a trial like this. Poof

Also just tuned in to learn that George had his girlfriend saved in his phone as “momma/mama”.
ETA on cross she says she can’t explain, but (essentially my understanding) he wasn’t calling for her, but his mother.

It's so obvious GF was dead when he was moved to the stretcher, and those LEO didn't show any emotions at all.

This EMT is having to explain every which way, confirming over and over, that it was obvious Mr. Floyd was deceased on arrival. And yet Chauvin was still on his neck.
Lord.

I think this line of questioning for the firefighter is to establish that first responders were walking around (looking for GF), not feeling endangered, talking to witnesses, blowing up defense argument.

The fact that this captain sent his crew BACK to the scene to check on the off duty FF is really telling.

The first call for assistance because of "mouth injury" is really pissing me off.

I love this fire fighter captain answering questions with “affirmative”. He seems like a really good, likable person. I wish they asked what they said in their debrief

Here is my daily, the defense atty is an asshole post.
First he tries to say things are SOOOOO different now than when the most senior officer in the MPD was on the street. and is implying Mr. Floyd was just so 'violent' that it was justifiable for dickhead to keep his knee on his neck.
