Derick Chauvin

[Rams]

Sentenced today to 22.5 years in prison.   Could have been less, could have been more.
Regardless of the sentence, there will be folks on both sides will be disappointed.

corrupt judge stated its really sad and painful for the floyd family.

amazing floyd died from fentanyl but the officer is guilty.

Pretty much my thoughts too.

I thought the Judge handled the trial and all the hoopla that went with it very well. Is 22 years enough for killing somebody ? Who knows.

The Fentanyl wasn’t charged so who knows. I don’t remember the drug being charged.
His autopsy report showed enough to be leathal for more than one person. He was dead and didn’t know it yet way before the police interaction.

Mostly not, 22.5 years may not be enough.   Then again, that might depend on whether on not you agree with this particular jury.................

there are police vids showing that while floyd was standing and cuffed he kept saying he couldn't breathe.
and that is what od of fentanyl does.

The last breath you take

Here is how fentanyl kills you: When it binds to the endorphin-releasing receptors, it can mess them up.
Because of that, your body cannot respond to low levels of oxygen or high levels of carbon dioxide.

Those are the two things that tell your brain — which controls your lungs — that you need to breathe. If the opioid is bound to those receptors, it cannot tell if the oxygen is low, or the carbon dioxide is too high and you eventually stop breathing and die.

"If you are taking a drug orally, you swallow it, It can take a while before it gets absorbed into the body, versus if you are injecting it or snorting it. It can happen a lot quicker," said Bishop.

I know how it kills you been in the medical field 35 yrs.

22.5 years aye?  will he make it past the 1st year without being someone's _itch and being killed in jail?

One would think he would have to be in isolation for in a group he will be getting killed or hurt for sure.

Is there any possibility of parole getting out early 'on good behavior' say in 5-10 years?  Probably will not matter since doubt he will make it past the 1st year in there.

I've heard that in MN, for felonies, you serve 2/3rd's of the sentence.  So, if its 270 months in prison, that will be bit less than 15 years in actual prison time, with the remainder on supervised release.  There is no good time or parole board.  

14+ years is going to be a tough stretch going in at 45 years of age.    

Chauvin was experienced enough to know that if you handle sh!t too long, the sh!ttier your hands get.
The perp Floyd was a PITA for over an hour.  Fully restrained.  There were enough others around to just call for a van and collectively chuck him in for a bumpy ride.  One guy on each arm and leg. "One, two, three...hooo!"  End of story.

No. They decided to kneel on his neck and mess with him and taunt the public with it when they should have already sent Floyd down the road and moved on.  They knew cameras were on.

It was stupidity on Chauvin and the rest of the cops' part.  And now he gets to pay for it over a worthless piece of societal crap named George.  Who may have died of fentanyl in minutes or an hour.    Floyd gets statues, and Teddy Roosevelt must come down.  

Not worth it.

Chauvin was over-charged, over-convicted and over-sentenced and now a leftist punching bag, with the Feds waiting in the wings to pile on.

I'm surprised anyone want's to be a policeman anymore.  Especially in D strongholds anywhere (where they should contract out all law enforcement duties to Antifa and BLM who would give them the enforcement they deserve).  

[scooperhsd]

Chauvin and his fellow officers were idiots for the way they handled this incident. The rest just naturally followed on as a result. It will be interesting to see what happens at the follow-on trial of the rest of the party plus Chauvin, but I don't expect the public to be too sympathetic to them.

[Rams]

One of the biggest and most frequent causes for an outcome to be overturned is judicial error (or overreach).  Will be interesting to read the judge's written judgement.

The "interlocutory" appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court notwithstanding, the initial refusal of the judge to sequester the jury and the accusations of jury intimidation aren't going to disappear post sentencing.

I don't believe this is a done deal.

Maybe Kamala will pardon him

a total $hit storm all the way from beginning to end

I thought NY was bad....

In view of the obvious prejudice against him in the case I would like to see a motion granted to continue his freedom pending the appeals as nobody gets those pieces of their life back once aquitted

Photo of Chauvin juror wearing BLM T-shirt at march raises questions of impartiality, experts say

The photo, shared by several news sites, shows Brandon Mitchell, a 31-year-old high school basketball coach in Minneapolis, standing next to two relatives wearing a black T-shirt with a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. with the words “Get your knee off our necks,” as well as a black baseball cap with the letters “BLM” (for Black Lives Matter).

The refusal to allow a change in trial venue, especially after the city settlement with Floyd family of $27 million dollars was made public to all (and the jurors) may be what is called prejudicial error.

One of several judicial errors IMHO but, I'm not qualified to make that call.   Had the trial been in a more neutral location, the judgement may have been totally different.   As I said, I don't believe this is done.
I wasn't on the jury and didn't see all the evidence.  But, I do recognize what fair is.

[Patrick]

I too doubt this is done, and, don't think it should be.  But, JMHO.

[Ramie]

It is what it is, he screwed up.  Was it racism? I doubt it, probably more from indifference after hearing a million sob stories every time he arrested some one.  To me the worst part of everything is the deification of the poor George Floyd.

Jason Whitlock say's it best.

The family made more off of him dead than they would ever have hoped for alive. How many supposed miscarriages in justice have catapulted the poor to wealthy status. I wonder if this could have made actors of many, knowing that there could be a big payout soon.

I wonder how reasonable Floyd really was high on fentanyl and the rest of the drugs he was on. Hope Chauvin gets out on appeal. 

BTW =  Floyds statue was already defaced.

toxicology report showed he had enough in his system to kill him. but that didn't fit their UN globalist BLM marxist agenda to reset America.

You mean at 47 y/o, he wasn't about to turn his life around and pursue a career for which he showed no previous interest or potential?  (/sarcasm font)
