MN - George Floyd, 46, died in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #6 - Chauvin Trial Day 3

[Boodles]

I’m pretty sure if I was in that situation and was reeling with anxiety and being scared I would resist too. I don’t think he’s actually resisting to cause harm, he’s resisting because he’s scared to death. JMO. In my eyes, I wonder if he was so scared because he felt the situation was bad and he felt something was going to happen. I’m pretty good at feelings, and I was almost robbed at work a few months ago and luckily I was able to have someone stay with me while the guys got freaked out and left since I was no longer alone. This is why they say trust your instincts. Maybe GF felt all along this was gonna be the outcome, and he was panicked!

I agree – panic attack. You can’t breathe, have intense fear, terror, etc.

They decided brute force was the solution. Mr. Tough Guy Cop. I can’t even believe the one cop pulled a gun at first, which started the escalation, I think. They should have de-escalated the situation.

“I’m claustrophobic”

“Aha”.

“My stomach hurts”

“Aha”

Which officer is saying that? Chauvin?

McMillian is aware of the hobble (or "hog-tie") that Officer Thao was looking for in the back of the police car while the other officers were holding down Floyd.

This is upsetting. So this is what Thao was looking for in the back of the car.

#DerekChauvinTrial - Judge sends the jury home. NOW Nelson is proffering the witness, meaning asking questions so the judge can determine what the jury is allowed to hear.

4m
#DerekChauvinTrial - Nelson asking Lt. Rugel about the CCTV footage. The camera can be remotely panned around, the footage can be sped up, slowed down.

“I can’t breathe...”

“It takes a lot of oxygen to talk”

Which officer said that?

This from Chauvin's body cam.... WTH really.... This is the approach he was taking to pull GF from the car...

Lane seems the most humane. He’s the rookie. The experienced officers are cynical. This all seems like a combination of indifference, ego, cynicism, contempt for drug addicts, impatience, lack of humility. There’s nothing here that involves officers feeling threatened by GF or the crowd. That’s bunk!

Yet, wasn't he the one behind DC? but he absolutely did restraining of his own, on GFs legs.
He has some redeeming going for him but he's only less bad than utter ... you know what I mean

The pool reporter says that when the 9 year told was asked to identify Chauvin in the courtroom, she didn’t see him. When he stood up and removed his mask, she looked shocked to see him.

Wowwwww...


I paused a still of a different position of his arm around his neck too

I'm glad the judge said he was getting the attorneys to streamline. The sickening video had been played from every angle and perspective over and over. Not sure why the defense isn't objecting due to it being repetitive. I'm not gaining any additional information from the video being replayed constantly. No wonder some jurors are looking away, they've seen it enough times!

It’s multiple officers’ body cams. They’re looking away because it’s painful and unbearable to watch such cruelty.

That was Thao again I believe

Double wow. I didn’t catch that!

I couldn't tell either. It might be Chauvin, but none of them seemed to take him seriously. I think it was Thao who "explained" that if you can talk, you can breathe. I wonder if they were taught that in their training.

 

[UKslueth2018]

Adjourned till 9am tomorrow

Lots to digest again from today. All I can say is I feel worse and worse for George as each day goes on

 

[Cubby]

Forgive me if this has been posted/asked. Did anyone pull a still of GF sitting in the rear passenger side of the vehicle before he was pulled out?

I thought I saw GF sitting upright before he wS pulled from the vehicle. If so, thats an important point regardless of when the medical incident occurred.

 

[Bravo]

Somewhat caught up. My heart hurts

 

[UKslueth2018]

Does anyone know if GF was shot previously?

Ex GF said something to that effect on the bodycam of Kueng (I think) and that’s why he was reacting that way as he saw the gun by his face..

 

[Chelly]

God. After watching all of today's courtroom proceedings, I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

If they were taught that, they were taught wrong. A person in a life threatening asthma attack can ask for help and express their fear vocally.

#DerekChauvinTrial - No cross from Nelson. After jury excused Nelson asked the witness some questions surrounding the Park police officer that came on scene's video. He said that was not his area. Nelson will be arguing a motion surrounding that Friday morning
