One last comment. Why were pages removed from the police manual filed with the court. Pages covering MRT, and then the COP outright says they don’t teach or use that technique? And yet, numerous other officers both confirm they do and the pages are clearly shown in Chauvin’s own manual. That is tampering with evidence, plain and simple. Does anyone believe this wasn’t a deliberate railroading of a white officer to fit a narrative?
I was disappointed to see how you backed off from your December 5th video in this one. Now John is saying he doesn't’ “think” Chauvin “meant” to murder Floyd, where on December 5th you said he didn’t. Who got to you guys and told you what to say, cause it looks like that. You know very well there were three officers holding Floyd down, and if it was really about compression on his side and not strangulation (I think that chest compression theory can be disputed, just check the comments from your 12/5 video where a very competent person describes exactly how air flows and what it means) then was it Chauvin putting the greatest amount of pressure on his chest? Or was it one of the other officers? The fact that this man had a lethal amount of fentanyl and meth in his system AND had COVID too, and you think it was officer’s fault? You changed the footage you showed of the Chief of police from where he outright lies, to something else where he says he doesn’t know what ”That” was. You don’t show the picture in the police manual of those officers doing exactly what they were taught. And I had to laugh when you talk about the mayor kneeling before Floyd’s casket in tears, and say you’re sure he was really crying, when if he was, it certainly wasn’t about the man himself. Why did you back down from your very bold video on 12/5? I trust your opinions but I have to wonder now, and I’m sorry for that. Yes, I am a support the blue person, but I’m happy to call out bad behavior, such as Officer Lila Morris on January 6, or Officer Michael Byrd on the same day.
I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I will. Very interesting topic and I read Liz Collins' book recently. I wanted to make sure you all were aware of a strangely similar case that just went down in Tacoma, WA. (Tacoma has historically been Seattle's working class little sister.) Manny Ellis was killed in police custody in March 2020, also with a complex drug history, etc. The three police officers involved in his arrest and subsequent death were charged by Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, current candidate for governor, with various counts of 2nd degree murder and manslaughter. The jury just acquitted them of all charges after a long trial. Tacoma is no right wing bastion. Anyway, the press has gone wild -- KUOW (our public radio stastion), The Seattle Times. I've attached an article from the Tacoma News Tribune: https://www.thenewstribune.com/opinion/article283421013.html. Awful firewall so you may not be able to read. Honestly, if this verdict had come down in 2020, we would have had weeks of demonstrations, I'm sure. I point this out to confirm the amount of pressure the jury in the Derrick Chauvin trial, obviously with much more national notice, must have been under.
BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two Denver-area paramedics were convicted Friday in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, who they injected with an overdose of the sedative ketamine after police put him in a neck hold.
The case over the 23-year-old Black man’s death was the first among several recent criminal prosecutions against medical first responders to reach trial, potentially setting the bar for prosecutors in future cases.
I searched “The Nation magazine: 2020 Minneapolis police station”. Mid-June 2020 Article by Vicky Osterweil said that rioters seized the police station. But, that is untrue. The mayor and police chief gave the police station to the protesters, without consent from police officers. There is a photo of the 3rd Precinct In flames, with a rioter in foreground waving a fist in the air. For leftists, the burning of 3rd precinct initiates the beginning of “police abolition nationwide.” But, the arson event required an “evil police act” that would push oppressed victims of capitalism over the edge.
In 2020; I believe that 100 cities were riot candidates. However, a Black deceased civilian victim and a White police officer were required. Derek Chauvin was an egg that needed to be broken for the “omelette”. I predict that this is just the beginning. We can expect more eggs and more omelettes at “Chez DEI”.
In Summer 2020; Seattle City-Gov tried to give a police station to a local BLM chapter but the chapter rejected the property gift. City-Gov does not have authority to destroy emergency infrastructure based on utopian fantasy. Mayors and former mayors have the responsibility of repairing the harm their anti-police actions cause.
I would like to pledge $100 for a new Minneapolis 3rd Precinct and I might offer to visit during construction for volunteer labor.
Could you run the talks through one of the AI transcribers? I don't have time to listen. In fact, I gave up watching TV or listening to radio decades ago (I listened only when I was commuting). Broadcast controls my time - and I don't have time for that. I read fast, can scan, go back and check, etc., Listening is much slower. I had hoped by subscribing I would get access to a transcript.
Thanks for taking this on. After watching Liz Collins' movie and reading her book I am convinced that Chauvin was wrongly convicted. Perhaps even that said conviction was the result of a conspiracy. After the knife attack on Chauvin I seriously wonder whether he will leave the prison alive.
Thank for your continued coverage of this. I live in Minneapolis. We held on to hope until the last election when the DSA made big wins (and they don't care that defund lost at the ballot box a couple of years ago). It's sad because we love our house and friends but I am afraid this city hasn't had enough chaos yet.

A request.

Perhaps this is just the way they like it. Squalor, violence, and excuses. Lots of excuses.
The smart people called the realtor, and the not so smart, are keeping the stereotype alive.
