I thought, "well at least they didn't kneel on his neck". OK, that joke was in bad taste. But seriously, how do you feel about it? Karma? Or was it terrible to you?

+1 yI feel justice wasn't served... he was treated much more harshely than other officers doing the same or worse. NoneI know of went to jail for doing same if not worse. It's racism/culturalism. If he was black, diff deal. If girlfriend was white, you'd never heard of the story. His arrogant attitude and possible mental issues made it worse. We don't know him, or the real story... but he didn't give a crap attitude was bad. Why was he screwed up at that time, that day... and still employed as an officer after 19 years work?
2ndly: he did serve his community for 19 years... one incident (there were others where he was questionable and should have been fired, but still)... if this was the worst of it, doesn't deserve to be knifed by thugs in prison. So I feel he should sue the state... After all, if you were knifed in a McDonalds, you'd sue them, right?
I feel like there should be a real trial... but he won't get one because it's not about fairness and justice, it's about controlling society masses. Always has been.
The girl at the check out stand that had to deal with girlfriend stealing her $20, all the checkout workers that have been injured or killed by thugs (that got less time) and all the people since who had to deal with the theft and lack of enforcement resulting, and all the people having to pay higher insurance premiums due to the theft, and all those brutalized by repeat offenders (just read the news in NYC)... is there fairness and justice? Is there forgiveness and corrections?
I feel like bing watching Die Hard... Merry Christmas!!!

Well like a told another poster on this question I do think he got as long as a sentence as he did because he was a victim of culture and politics at the time. And it's NOT lost on me that this happened in a very Liberal city, Minneapolis. But the fact remains he was still guilty. Yes, George Floyd was no Saint but that doesn't mean he deserved to die (not saying Chavin did it intentionally. Just neglegently). My father was a cop for 33 years. So believe me I hate seeing this. I want to give the cops the benefit of every doubt. But we all saw the video.
Thanks for your take @lightbulb27🙂 - +1 y
Welcome. I'm not so sure it's a fact, it's a conclusion of the system... which in my view was not fair.
Regardless... it's one of those jobs where... you cannot make a mistake, even when under high stress and risk of life. No wonder our police staff is low and taxes going higher.
no he shouldn't have... there should be better policies... we'd think. Then again, we aren't watchig the videos of the police holding suspects down... whom have drugs that make them 10x stronger than normal, over power the cops and kill them. The cops are trained in these techniques, they deal with that reality... sure seems... he became jaded or was by nature.
oh well... in the future, people whom have issues with thugs and criminals, I just tell them to call social services and community services for their advice. lol! like the liberal lady and her kid that were beat to crap in a car jacking... a great time to call your local social services... when 4 thugs beatin the crap out of ya... lol!!:
peace!:)

+1 y2 food for thought. Was he shacked because he was a cop, or (b) because it was payback. Also the 'noise' about George Floyd and the fentanyl claim. According to corners, not enough to kill him.

Fact check: George Floyd's death ruled a homicide, not fentanyl overdoseThe claim: The cause of George Floyd's death was a drug overdose
Following weeks of testimony in a closely watched case, a 12-member jury found former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the death of George Floyd, a 46-year old Black man who died while being restrained by Chauvin in police custody last May.As Americans flooded the streets to mark the verdict, misinformation erupted on social media.
Despite video evidence of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes, a viral social media post claims Floyd's death was the result of a drug overdose.

Yeah I'm sorry I posted this. He was found guilty. I don't know why this is being debated.
I do think Chauvin got 20 years. As a sacrificial lamb for what is a systemic problem in the American justice system. But everyone saw the video. I don't see how anyone can call chasing innocent.
As I said I kinda regret asking this question. Because I didn't think anyone would still debate his being guilty.
+1 yI was very happy to hear about it. Just a-shame it didn’t kill the bastard

+1 yHere's the thing about something happening "within a certain number of days": AFTER the event is also a possibility; time doesn't stop. (This is, for some reason, a very common mistake; I can't tell you how many times I've seen lists of "the best [X] of all time" that doesn't include anything from the future.)
For example, Covid tests. When they're given as part of an autopsy, they still count as being "within 28 days". And that's relevant here, because George Floyd was, and tested positive. Officially, he died of Covid, and his death is one of the numbers that fueled, and was used to justify, the hysteria. Were in coming from separate groups- was the BLM-type madness, or even the (far more legitimate) anti-police brutality sentiment behind it- not an almost total overlap with the Church of Branch Covidianism, I wouldn't even have mentioned it, and simply say something like "you throw a police officer into a prison full of criminals, you're going to have violence", but the Venn diagram is almost a circle.
Per their own rules, Chauvin's innocent, and shouldn't be in jail in the first place.
10 ReplyWho do I feel about it? I didn't personally know the guy, so I have no feelings for him. That said, it was a transitivity of justice. A corrupt judicial system and jury framed a man for a crime he didn't commit because he was White. The coroner's report indicated there was no trauma to the neck of George Floyd. George Floyd was alive when he left the scene and died at the hospital where they called time of death. The coroner indicated that George Floyd died of a drug overdose after blood analysis. If you can't breath, then you can say "I can't breath". Video evidence from body came shows that Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd's left shoulder. How you are so fucking brainwashed when the evidence was crystal clear is beyond me. I guess people like you were just born stupid. You have a low IQ and can't process facts.

+1 ySeems a pretty shite prison to house an ex cop with gen pop.
Also George Floyd was a POS, so I'm not going to say this is karmic justice
10 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Trending & News topic. It was determined at autopsy that George Floyd did not die of asphyxiation. He died of cardia arrest moat likely caused by fentanyl and other drugs. He was still convicted of murder. This was nothing but a miscarriage of justice by the left who pandered for the black vote.

Unsurprising. You probably think a junkie high on crack who is resisting arrest is a Rhode’s scholar.

@Agagagagaga I’m just goofin’, I just wanted to use the Seinfeld gif. I don’t want to see anyone stabbed, in reality. I just also don’t want to live in the kind of place where police are kneeling on citizens’ necks as a means of restraint.

Probably not. Chances are you vote Democrat.
