I’m sorry but st Floyd of George wasn’t killed by a bored cop. He was thrashing around because of a fentanyl overdose and not his first I might add and needed to be restrained. Just think, if the cops hadn’t arrested him, he’d have been found dead in his car after who knows how many days This guy was a thug and a criminal. He threatened a pregnant woman with a gun as they were menacing her. Oh and she was black too.
Making a martyr out of that guy was preposterous. But he was good for the grift by BLM.
And Chauvin was railroaded by a kangaroo court. He followed the protocol established by Minneapolis PD for such a situation. Medical examiner found 3x lethal dose and no sign of of airway obstruction. The trial was marked by misconduct by judge, prosecutor and at least some jurors. He needs to be freed and compensated.
Chauvin could show that the slide set in his police training had instruction on the kneeling restraint that he used. He could show that the had completed the training class that had that slide. "Ah," the prosecution asked, "even though you can show that you were in the class and that the restraint you used was part of the class, do you have proof that you saw that particular slide?" Of course, Chauvin couldn't prove that even though he was performing the restraint exactly as it was taught. So the judge said he wasn't allowed allowed to introduce his training as evidence. The judge made sure he wouldn't be able to defend himself. I think the judge knew that if Chauvin was acquitted, the violence would begin anew.
I live 20 minutes from that courthouse and in a county that just as well be a million miles away.
Thirty minutes after the jury was let out with final instructions from the judge...my phone got an emergency alert that civil unrest was eminent and to take great care and caution in case of riots.
I suspect Keith Ellison triggered that alert as a final warning to the jury to convict....or watch the rest of their city burn to the ground
In the immediate aftetmath of the Floyd event, I found and watched a U-tube video showing Floyd standing up and saying he couldn't breath. Standing not laying on the ground. In that video Chauvin wanted him to sit in the car but he became agitated and thrashed around so Chauvin put him on the ground. The video clearly showed Chauvin’s knee on the side of the neck not the lyranx. Chauvin would raise his knee and only reapply the restraint when Floyd thrashed around. It was perfectly clear that Chauvin didn’t kill Floyd but by the next day that video disappeared never to be seen again and Chauvin was framed by the corrupt system based on an autopsy from a doctor who didn’t even examin the body. Total bullshit and I'm disappointed in you Shasha for slipping that false progressive narrative into an otherwise excellent essay.
Sasha does not have all the information. The only information she has is what is presented by the propaganda media machine. She is aware of the machine, but in this case does not have access to a competing view. The comments have provided perspective. She probably has not watched The Fall of Minneapolis. (https://youtu.be/eFPi3EigjFA?si=lJeJTsWgL13Mn91m). Those of us who live in Minnesota and pay attention to Alpha News have the real story. The George Floyd riots destroyed Minneapolis and it still has not recovered. Minneapolis is run by socialists, so recovery will not come until its citizens wake up to the corruption of the city government.
Correct. That's what the first autopsy showed. The Democrat DA wouldn't allow that truth out. I also don't like how the police dept didn't stand behind Chauvin, that's how they're trained to subdue people....and that doesn't kill them, it just gets them under control.
George Floyd was as Rush used to say "a piece of human debris". He was a person that provided nothing positive to society, yet was given many chances. What a freakin' joke of a verdict.
That's called Excited Delirium, which the young rookie officer asked as he was on the ground lashing about and drying even though he wasn't confined at the time.
And up until the Judge (Cahill) decided on his own that Excited Delirium couldn't be introduced at trial as part of police training, every other court had allowed it to be used in cases where an agitated mentally unwell suspect was thrashing about.
I watched ALL OF THE FOOTAGE from that day and can honestly tell you, as a suburban white professional...I have NEVER been treated with as much respect by a LEO officer when pulled over for traffic violations before as they showed Floyd that day.
Such a shame.
They should have hog tied him and tossed him in the cruiser.
You're kind of still seeing what they told you to see when George Floyd died. You know why Derek Chauvin didn't look like he was killing somebody? Because he didn't think that was what was happening. and it wasn't. We threw away a white guy doing a tough job because a useless junkie couldn't control his impulses. That was a bad trade. Quit pretending that any part of their narrative was ever accurate. It wasn't.
Exactly. The life didn’t drain out of him. He kept saying I can’t breathe the whole time. If you can’t breathe, you can’t talk. Chauvin was railroaded. The autopsy showed the amount of drugs is what killed him. The ME lied on the stand because he knew it was what was demanded of him.
He couldn't breath and the first autopsy showed why.
He had Covid and his heart was super enlarged...and also on a lethal dose of fentanyl where he even admitted to police in the bodycam video he's just been "hooping" earlier.
For you non drug users, just do a cursory search of hooping illegal drugs (NSFW).
None of this was allowed into evidence.
I asked the MN Dept of Health 10 times if George Floyd was listed as "Died of Covid" while MN was amping up the # of people dead of Covid and dead with Covid as all having died from Covid.
Officer Chauvin was using a department approved and trained, restraint hold, his knee was not on the neck, but the shoulder of the man who had ingested enough fentanyl to kill 3 men his size, who had complained about his inability to breathe for at least 3/4 of the 45 minutes the police calmly talked to Floyd trying to get him out of his vehicle and to the police car.
Complaining about the “can’t breathe” and “physical pain” is a common occurrence from people who are trying not to get arrested.
An independent autopsy found fentanyl, marijuana in his blood, severe cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease.
If he said that he was ODing The cops could have gotten him narcan. But he didn’t say anything about that.
I think you are wide of the mark on this assessment of Floyd.
I think you'll find that the trial leading to the conviction of the police officers involved in the incident in which the criminal died was typical of the era, that is that facts and truth were ignored and denied to suit a political narrative.
The idea that George Floyd “bore the weight of the world’s failings” is utter tripe! Floyd bore the weight of his own failings.
The effort to turn Floyd into a victim of anything other than his own poor choices does a disservice to all people of all colors who work hard, make good choices, don’t make excuses when then experience setbacks, and consequently succeed!
He was with 'mother_ 2 weeks earlier in the ER having OD'ed on Fentanyl .
So....where is Morries Hall today...the guy Keith Ellison would not give immunity to for testifying at Chauvin s trial who would have exonerated the 4 officers?
Hoping @SashaStone can hunt him down and interview him since Establishment media refuses.
Excellent point. So much we've been told about the event and the trial don't hold up to scrutiny. Check out a documentary "The Fall of Minneapolis." https://www.thefallofminneapolis.com/
I love when the Left gives away its plot. The Atlantic writer claims conservatives seek to "advance illiberal aims" by canonizing Charlie Kirk. Wanting a return to rational debate on college campuses (the primary purpose of college) is "illiberal"?! Wanting to protect pre-natal life is "illiberal"? Assuring young men that it is okay to be masculine and protect women is "illiberal"?
Wow. Weird world we live in that a movement which suppresses free speech, attacks those who think differently and seeks to remove their God-given freedoms and revels in turning human biology on its head and considers that "liberal". No, that is authoritarian and fascist. The Left once again project their own illiberalness
An inconvenient fact: The police officers charged with the death of George Floyd were all recruited, interviewed, hired, trained, guided, managed, and provided oversight and supervision by the officials of one of the most woke politically correct Leftwing cities in the country — the mayor, the city council, the police commissioner, the police chief and the captains of that police force.
“Charlie said provocative things because he wanted to shake college kids out of their indoctrination stupor and have them think critically about what they had been taught to recite by rote. That’s what teachers are supposed to do. That is what art, journalism, and comedy used to do.” EXACTLY! Charlie was doing what no one else would! And in a fun respectful fashion. Great piece, Sasha!
Obama is such a poisonous manipulator. Remember that the devil is never more so than when he appears as an angel of light. Watch out for him and his disgusting “wingman” Eric Holder. They are up to no good.
Country took a sharp dive after Obama came around. Things were pretty good before he came around. Not perfect of course, but tolerable. Peak America was early 2000s. We had pockets of racism in the country but otherwise nothing else. The violent division started with Obama.
So true! 👍 He took it way too far. Possibly his difficult childhood experiences led him to blame his white mother for the loss of his black dad? As an adult he displays an anti-white resentment mindset.
Speaking of riots, Andy Ngo has an insightful post on the symbiotic relationship of Democrats and Antifa. https://substack.com/@mrandyngo/note/c-163342576 …anyone who doesn’t condemn their violence is supporting it.
Sasha, as the lying-Left has only their tired, failed narrative to fall back on, they’ll never lose the stench of their response to Charlie’s murder. And truth-telling Charlie will forever be smelling like a rose.

Yep. They’ll kill him first tho
The "justice" system acted to avoid more riots; to hell with the motto that one innocent man convicted is intolerable.

A false progressive narrative is the common thread running through almost all of Sasha's posts.

And now we have the CHicago PD refusing to come to the aid of fellow officers in mortal danger, at the ICE attacks in Brighton Park.
Different day, same shyt.
One day all of their money and stuff will be made worthless, and what will they do in the end thereof?

Derek Chauvin was the scapegoat. Watching "The Fall of Minneapolis" was gut wrenching; such a travesty.
The left did it first; the left did it worst. (Yes, I know, it should say “ worse” but…). We all do remember.
The idea that George Floyd “bore the weight of the world’s failings” is utter tripe! Floyd bore the weight of his own failings.
The effort to turn Floyd into a victim of anything other than his own poor choices does a disservice to all people of all colors who work hard, make good choices, don’t make excuses when then experience setbacks, and consequently succeed!
All true, but you're not supposed to say that out loud. That's what a bunch of chicken-shit fools we have become
Good column.
BTW, Mr Floyd was not calling for his mother. “Mother” was how he addressed his girlfriend.
He was with 'mother_ 2 weeks earlier in the ER having OD'ed on Fentanyl .
So....where is Morries Hall today...the guy Keith Ellison would not give immunity to for testifying at Chauvin s trial who would have exonerated the 4 officers?

Yes. There is that.

Twenty years later Sasha. Not thirty, twenty.
Doing math?
Racist
Only if she gets the right answer.
Right answers are a fiction of the patriarchy. Get with the program, they/them!
That would make me a "we." Would that be an editorial "we" or an imperial "We?"
lol

One was well-known before he died. The other was a never-heard-of outside of his family and the local police department.

Just look at what happened in Boston 2 nights ago. 200 rioters cornered cop cars and lit one on fire.
Only 2 ppl arrested. Pathetic.
The youth has zero respect for the law and the police.
I think people are going to have to start following these AntiFa types home after they leave the scene of the riot/protest.
Need to find out where the rat's nest is.
Charlie wasn't murdered for what he said, he was killed because people were listening.
Daily marches and nightly riots for three months during a COVID lockdown. All based on lies, all fake, all for political gain.
Sasha, as the lying-Left has only their tired, failed narrative to fall back on, they’ll never lose the stench of their response to Charlie’s murder. And truth-telling Charlie will forever be smelling like a rose.
