More retired MPD and EMT as witnesses
It's making the defense look good too.
Any number of people gathering and/or yelling can turn on a dime. Maybe I watch to many live streams but that is my opinion.If it’s reasonable to understand how an unarmed black man will immediately begin to yell “DON’T SHOOT!” when first encountering a law enforcement officer, it should also be reasonable to fathom how an officer involved in the arrest of an unarmed black man (or any person for that matter) will feel threatened by any amount of people who gather around a scene; yelling, standing, pacing, video recording, whatever the case may be.
In answer to your question about GF's high associates/friends........Defense theory is drugs did it. GF's friends high. You know, birds of a feather and all that. I am not defending Chauvin, I need to tell you again, DC is guilty as H----, in my opinion. But I am pointing out what the defense is going after. I am not challenging, just stating.If you think that a witness is high on the stand (is that what you are saying?) can you explain why you think that it makes the defense looks good?
TIA
And I keep saying this was GF's ex..
can someone please bump such information.
TIA

Witness Charles McMillian then approaches Hill and Hall, "Somebody call his family, he's ****** up." They kept... on his neck," he said gesturing. “What?" Hill asked?
What’s that saying about the company you keep...If you think that a witness is high on the stand (is that what you are saying?) can you explain why you think that it makes the defense looks good?

Or "Birds of a Feather"What’s that saying about the company you keep...
I can understand them being uncomfortable or even intimidated but what I don't understand is why they didn't react to their concern. Why assume both the Firefighter and Williams were wrong, especially about Floyd not moving or breathing? It just seemed like too big a risk to take. I wonder if they would have checked his pulse at all if the crowd hadn't been there.re: the crowd
I think it’s often important in these situations to be proactive rather than reactive, when possible. Although the crowd never got out of hand (IMO), I did see moments where it seemed like they were about to. I can see the officers being uncomfortable. You never know when things will escalate.
Yeah, which also needed an explanation.Or "Birds of a Feather"
