  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  I wonder if the circumstances would have come out differently if there wasn't pedestrians on the side shouting and taunting Chauvin and the other police ???

  Sorry I'm a bit of a rational thinker.

  i think cops are getting a bum rap.

  are there some cops who shouldn’t be cops?

  are some over eager?

  Sometimes cops justifiably get a bum rap for their mistakes and bad judgements while on duty, but unlike us non police workers when we make mistakes we usually dont cause a death of someone.

  Its a tough job for only people who can be tough at times but also smart in their interaction with the public, they also have to have a semblance of human compassion, most do.

  Floyd appears to be whacked up on drugs during the arrest , perhaps two different drugs fighting against one another.

  The toxicology report showed that as well.

  I dont understand why that wasn't put into consideration to him going into cardiac arrest. ???

  The elevated heart rate during the struggling arrest and then the sudden suppression to his breathing capability by Derek Chauvin's knee against his neck, combined with a fair amount of drugs in his system most likely caused the cardiac arrest to occur.

  you can't confirm whether or not someone has drugs in their system by watching a video. A qualified medical person needs to do a blood test.

  and that was done and there were traces of fentanyl in his system.

  All the doctors who reviewed and analyzed Floyd's body agreed that cause of death was asphyxiation which was most likely enhanced by drugs in his system and a unhealthy heart.

  Covid Virus and serving where the need is greater

  by eyeslice in

  i get the impression that many of those serving where 'the need is greater' have had to return to their home countries due to the current covid pandemic.. just over a year back the society was pushing people to go to places like india; not the easiest places to get to grips with at the best of times.

  now i see that the covid pandemic is pretty much out of control in india.

  it seems to me that 'needs greaters' were the watchtowers way of getting missionaries on the cheap.

  What Slim said ..
  

  and they are looking more for good actors for their up and coming video presentations.

  I wouldn't be surprised if they encouraged Gilead brothers and sisters to take acting lessens.

  The WTS/JWS has a working business model in action and it has been notably revised in recent years $$$

  I wonder if they will have the JWorg. video presentation Academy awards every year ?

  Stay tuned folks

  I would be willing to bet that if Floyd was forced into the back of the squad car, he would have just died there. It was an OD.

  He wasn't strung out high when the arrest took place, that can be confirmed by the video, so why do you say he would have OD'd in the back the police car ?

  He was cognitively fluent during the arrest from the start.

  Someone who is high on fentanyl doesn't act like that.
  

  Nonsensical
  

  Making stuff up as it suits you doesn't present intellectual honesty.

  An off the cuff question to this case ...

  Did all of the attending cops not know that cutting off a person's breathing capability such a choke hold or knee against the neck could cause an individual to blackout and possibly die ?
  

  The taunting by pedestrians seemed have created a psychological effect to Chauvin to directly oppose what the people were saying, kind of like I'm the law officer in charge here not they.

  Overall I fail to see the intent to murder, one can look at the video footage which was presented in court and quickly come to that conclusion but there were other mitigating circumstances that needed to be addressed.
  

  I certainly can see criminal negligence manslaughter in this incident.

  was it really necessary for George Floyd to resist arrest and refuse to get in the cop car ?

  That goes without saying after the fact.

  As I mentioned early Floyd has to bare some responsibility for what happened to him.

  The use of deadly force by acting police officers against a individual who is suspect of a crime has to have its limits.

  Police officers while on duty have to have the cognitive awareness to be in control of a situation within the bounds of legality during an altercation with an individual, if they cant do that they shouldn't be a police officer.

  I wonder was it really necessary for Chauvin to place his knee across Floyd's neck area, I'm sure placing his knee across the top of his shoulders would have worked as well.

  I'm sure many police officers are going to take this situation into account when trying to restrain someone on the ground.

  If he did that and Floyd still passed out, Chauvin wouldn't be going to jail for the next 10 to 15 years.

  Kind of surprised at the verdict particularly when the information came out that Floyd had drugs in his system and existing heart problems.

  There is certainly going to be an appeal which in my guess the charges will be lowered a bit..
