Derek Chauvin (The murderer of #GeorgeFloyd) has just officially been convicted of murder by the grand jury, finally justice!
@icedquinn Dude was obviously a murderer and was caught red handed. So any other outcome wouldnt be justice when its such a clear cut case IMO.. but that said what irregularities are you concerned with?
@freemo @icedquinn Presumably jury intimidation by threat of mob violence
Any jury that didnt convict the dude would be a moron, the case was cut and dry and no doubt the man was guilty. Mob violence is hardly needed and since no jurors were publicly identified it wouldnt sway them anyway.
@freemo @icedquinn They will be identified and they could be worried about mob violence in general even if it's not directed at them
@valleyforge
I cant imagine any juror in their right mind coming to any other conclusion, mob or no mob. The case was clear cut and obvious of his guilt and intention
@icedquinn
@freemo
Finally!
why the hell it take so long in the first place
@deesapoetra @freemo
The judiciary process in general is very long. hence why some people actually want "Judge Dredd" to be a real thing.
@lucifargundam @freemo
> The judiciary...
...is very long.
I guess it's just american related thing i don't undertand.
@deesapoetra @freemo
Tbh I don't know why it takes so long myself.
it takes several days/weeks for the simplest of tasks. There's been plenty of explanations but none of which really added up to me.
@deesapoetra Well the jury themselves didnt take long to decide at all. It was just the trial and the mountain of evidence that was the issue.
@freemo
Ah i see.
I see a lot of riot related post on twitter.
I'm afraid it's a bit too late for the verdict.
@Feddylain Considering how overwhelmingly obvious it is that he was guilty, and caught red handed, then no, I would not say justice was carried out in that case. I would say, however, that the system obeyed its own rules for how a trial is to be carried out (that system doesnt always result in justice, though its the best we got).
@ChristiJunior LAWL, ok buddy.. i mean the dude was literally caught red handed murdering someone.. The guy was dead (or at least unconscious) and the man continued to strangle him for another 4 minutes and physically stopped other cops from checking on his safety... There is no sane reason anyone could side witht he cop on this.
@coolboymew
Who said anything about relaxing. Once he was immobile you cuff his feet and hands, no relaxing needed. There is no excuse for strangling a man for 4 minutes after he is unconscious.
@ChristiJunior
@coolboymew
They were, but they were also completely docile until he literally died then one dude started creeping up but immediately backed down. Either way its not a free ticket to kill someone or denying other cops the right ti check on his safety. Once he was unconscious him continuing to strangle him was obvious intent to murder.
@ChristiJunior
@coolboymew
None of that excuses shit.. a few people standing around docile doesnt make your murder excusable. Again once the man was unconscious he just sat there strangling doing nothing else. Thats not handling the situation. He. Ould have told the other officers to handcuff his feet once he went unconcious and get off him after he was cuffed. Dude woukd have still been dead but then i could atleast see some possibility of it not being second degree murder. But no he just sat there strangling a lifeless body and doing little else, no excuse.
@ChristiJunior
@coolboymew @ChristiJunior
Fyi even after the cop literally said he had no pulse he continued to strangle him... So the whole "drug addicts are unpredictable" is all well and good but once he is dead they become pretty damn predictable and does t excuse the continued strangulation rather than resuscitation.
@realcaseyrollins
Mot true, the EMTs said they did not detect a pulse in Floyd when they arrived on the scene. He was dead before entering the ambulance.
Provide your source please.
@ChristiJunior @coolboymew
@coolboymew
Ive posted the autopsy several times on my feed, yes obviously i read it.
Dude was unconscious for 4 minutes and he sat on his neck. Police officer identifies him as having no pulse and chaivchauvinin still sat on his neck 3 more minutes.
None of the other points you make are the least bit relevant beyond that. When you sit on someones neck with no pulse, your intention is clear to murder him, period.
No that was not Chauvin or his partner. The other cops on the scene before chauvin arrived call the EMT. Chauvin wasnt even aware the EMT had been called till much later
@coolboymew
I never denied that. Does t change the fact the Chauvin continued to sit on his neck even after he was told he had no pulse... No other evidence of any kind makes hi. I. Ocent when thst fact is true.
