Anyone watching this George Floyd trial?

I do feel there was political pressure that tainted objectivity. I also think Chauvin is a kind of individual who thrives in a system where use of force guidelines are biased so much to the government/ officer. Your initial post was doubting my experience and suggesting my opinion was naive ... I have no problem with that comment and I always expect people to be skeptical about any poster's, including my, claim to have some experience. Never-the-Less I tend to site my experience because sometimes people can make a judgement to some capacity, based on what a poster claims if they have some understanding or their own.

My point is that when you see how training translates, and... ALL police officers, regardless if they are mother Theresa's brother, or a sociopath, respond the way they are trained... we all do, you see the training is poor. it is poor in how individuals restrain, the decision to shoot, etc. The guidelines and actions initiated are an effort to give the officer all benefit of doubt but create other problems. Its a bit much to go into on a post but it is very sad.

Let me give you an example: A seminal film was produced in LA using a Martial Artist named Dan Insanto. Guy is, and has been beyond reproach. Here is a portion of that film

This film has been integral to training officers, it makes a lot of sense, BUT it has also created the false assumption that there is no way to deal with a knife safely. Ill leave it at that...

I would just say that I have yet to really see an interaction between an officer and a criminal, where my first thought (when something goes wrong) is anything other than 'man you cannot do that sh.it around police and expect good outcomes.' The police aren't the problem. We need criminal retraining.

Some of our uneducated, lower income, government assistance receiving caucasian posters are very upset that Chauvin was found guilty.

I just can’t understand why?

if they are this mad now, they might riot if their hero Kyle Rittenhouse is found guilty.

If the right to defend yourself becomes obsolete, I don't think you'll be a very happy camper in that society Dunn

The right to defend yourself has nothing to do with the Chauvin trial. Or Rittenhouse.

Black Lives Matter: Nancy Pelosi’s Remarks on George Floyd ‘So Damn Disrespectful’


2:47
The controversial activist group Black Lives Matter criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Wednesday after the speaker thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his life for justice, calling her remarks “so damn disrespectful.”

“This is so damn disrespectful. George Floyd didn’t choose to die @speakerpelosi. He was murdered by a killer cop operating through white supremacy,” the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account, which has one million followers, remarked. “There isn’t justice here”:

The sharp retort Pelosi’s reaction to former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin being guilty on all charges he faced: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

The 81-year-old speaker reacted to the verdict alongside the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), thanking George Floyd for “sacrificing” his life for justice.

“Thank you, George Floyd—for sacrificing your life for justice,” Pelosi said.

“For being there, to call out to your mom—how, how heartbreaking was that? Call out for your mom. ‘I can’t breathe,’” she continued, adding, “but because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world, who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous”:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is among prominent ********s who harshly to the verdict even though it was what the movement demanded.

“It’s not justice because justice is George Floyd going home tonight to be with his family,” she said in part:

Justice is Adam Toledo getting tucked in by his mom tonight. Justice is when you’re pulled over, there not being a gun that’s part of that interaction because you have a headlight out. Justice is your school system not having or being part of a school-to-prison pipeline. Justice is a municipality and a government that does not — because it trickles down right? — that does not value military and armaments more than it healthcare, and education, and housing.

So, no, this verdict is not justice. Frankly, I don’t even think we call it full accountability, because there are multiple officers that were there. It wasn’t just Derek Chauvin. And I also don’t want this moment to be framed as this system working, because it’s not working.

Attorney General of Minnesota Keith Ellison (D) had a similar reaction.

“I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration,” Ellison at the time. “But it is accountability, which is the first step toward justice.”
