    In reality, it should have been the near 9 minute kneeling on neck video that swayed their position on guilty or not.

    9 minutes of kneeling on back of neck, choking the victim is hardly a mistake.

    As others mentioned he said many times he couldn’t breath while he was chilling in the car with windows open and then when he was sitting on the ground. I don’t blame a cop at all for not believing someone who was lying for last 30mins. And cops see this day in day out. People get arrested and the lies fly. Can’t trust a thing they’re saying. If you really can’t breath you can’t really speak, so there’s that.

    He could have got off of him sooner once he detected he was out. But there was a violent mob forming. It was all unfortunate but to claim he purposely kept kneeling on him knowing it would kill him was ridiculous on its face. If he wanted to actually kill him there are much easier to and to do it. He subdued a larger man on a **** load of drugs. Their actions and strength are always unpredictable.

    But whatever. It’s over. Cops will accidentally kill worthless pieces of crap till the end of time. It’s what happens when you’re arresting worthless pieces of crap day in day out.

    Biased by a video showing a cop killing another person.

    As the country should burn.
    A cop killing another person by kneeling on neck with video proof, there was no other outcome.

    So the cop killing him was justified in your mind?

    Judge, jury, and executioner.

    And his guilty verdict also says it wasn't intentional.

    ...
    Guilty: Second-degree murder charge
    Second-degree murder is causing the death of a human being, without intent to cause that death, while committing or attempting to commit another felony. In this case, the felony was third-degree assault. Chauvin was charged with committing or intentionally aiding in the commission of this crime.

    He didn't kneel on his neck nor did Floyd die from it. He was dying before he hit the ground as he jumped out of the police SUV.

    Why do you make things up instead of dealing with the facts.

    Explain how a fake $20 bill was what killed him.

    Homicide does not equal crime.
    Floyd had been pointed out to the arresting officer as the person who tried to pass the bill. The woman witness in Floyd's car testified they were passing phony bills. What's your point anyway?

    And now his killer is in jail.
    Killing simply because you don't like someone isn't right.

    I suspect it's far to complicated to explain it to you.

    But it has to do with why the police were there in the 1st place.

    I think you've fundamentally misunderstood my point, at the most basic level. I wish I could say I was surprised by that, but it seems to be a recurring theme for you. Here's my point: George Floyd committed an armed home invasion. That phrase, "armed home invasion", is not a legal one. Indeed, there's no legal definition of "armed home invasion" in Texas law, then or now. My statement of fact (that George Floyd committed an armed home invasion) is not dependent on which law he was ultimately convicted of, or whether he was convicted at all. It's not an argument about legalese, because, again, Texas has no legal definition of "armed home invasion". It's an accurate descriptor for what he did: he invaded a woman's home, while armed with a weapon. It doesn't matter if he was there to kidnap, rape, rob, or murder, or even if he just wanted to watch the big game on her big screen TV. I'm making no claim about his motives, or any statement about how the Texas legal system chose to handle that case. The fact is, he committed an armed home invasion. That's all. Do you understand now?

    I’ll also add that woman was pregnant and I’ll also add He pistol whipped said woman while his homies robbed her house.

    Well he definitely has grounds to appeal because there are rioters and journalists that work doing their best to interfere with the jury.

    That doesn't mean you got a fair trial. The appeal will be about the jury being intimidated by violent hugs and politicians interfering and he's probably got a pretty strong basis for appeal.

    Which did not cause his death. Again explain how a fake $20 is what killed him. Lots happened between him attempting to pass it and his heart giving out on him causing his death. Or is it far too complicated for you?

    Well there is controversy about whether he died because the officer was kneeling on his neck or if he overdosed on fentanyl so I think he has quite strong grounds for an appeal.

    He didn't die because of a fake $20 bill. He died because he did a lot of drugs, tried pass a $20 bill, resisted arrest, then tried to get away from the police. He wouldn't have died had he not broken any of one of those laws.
