GUILTY MN - George Floyd, 46, died, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #18 - Chauvin Closing & Deliberations #1

Nelson: "A reasonable police officer would have considered escalating the use of force".

Is Nelson saying DC should have killed GF sooner?

 

[Shaddow]

A reasonable police officer would have started CPR when he was told there was no PULSE.

 

[Katerz]

anyone else notice Chauvin seems to pay attention when the videos play like he’s getting some sick satisfaction of watching what he’s done? Jmo

I think that Nelson is making some good points. JMO

 

[Shaddow]

3 Minutes with no pulse equals death...

 

[Bravo]

Well I would have sat GF down and tried to calm him. Listened to his fears and simply called for a van or SUV to transport. Explained this to him. How hard is that!

 

[Katerz]

Ok but Nelson not everyone is faking a medical emergency so they don’t go to jail.

As despicable as it sounds, Nelson is doing a good job! Strictly from an argumentative perspective. But this argument defies logic and common sense! Chauvin’s actions were so egregious that this all just falls flat unless you’re looking for an excuse to acquit! The other officers actions also seem callous and unnecessarily aggressive after seeing this video over and over! Smh. The whole thing was so unnecessary and gross!

Exactly. It’s their responsibility to make sure he’s okay, even if he’s a suspect.

So speaking of anxiety and claustrophobia, I need to leave now for my first MRI. Rather have a tooth pulled.....oh wait! I did that last week.
Happy trial watching WS Friends.

Also I seriously think any mention by Nelson of Chauvin training any other officer at the scene just undercuts more of his defense. N no other officer acted like Chauvin. No one else placed their knee on GF'S neck....whether that's because they weren't trained to do so or they didn't agree with doing that doesn't matter. It doesn't help his client to point he trained one of them and (indirectly that) that the rookie officers acted much better than him

 

[Bravo]

Officers struggled with him because they did not listen to one word he was saying.

Oh dear, Nelson is discussing elevation of maximum restraint in the live feed.. and Nelson is saying "should we elevate the use of force".

Yeppers, the did Mr. Nelson... 3 people on back is elevation of the hobble on the side.

He is saying "reasonable police officers" discussed actions.. and would call EMS... that a suspect risk would continue.

attempting to 'imprint' the minds of the jurors.
Appalling tactic.

 

[Katerz]

I think Nelson just likes to hear himself talk.

even when I’m in full blown panic attack mode and I’m shutting down, I can’t breathe but I can still voice my concerns. Even when I’m at the point of almost hyperventilating I can still say I can’t breathe I’m going to pass out

Stay safe and good luck @Chelly

"A reasonable police officer" is going to come back and bite Chauvin in the...

You will be fine. Close your eyes and go to your happy place

A reasonable officer, a reasonable officer, a reasonable officer...

Interesting that he took the MFD witnesses 3 minute for help to arrive as what a reasonable officer would also think so Chauvin was just doing that waiting for them. Again, he provided no care when it was clear that Mr. Floyd was unconscious and, then, no pulse. It is disgusting to me every time they try to justify his client's actions.

 

[Katerz]

"A reasonable police officer" is going to come back and bite Chauvin in the...

Or put a knee in his neck

 

[Katerz]

Do we think the jury will start deliberations today or will they get the case and start tomorrow?
