Once again, I haven't heard one thing on this forum or anywhere else that has changed my mind.
I tend to trust info I get from David Horowitz
If I find out he stretched the truth... well, there goes my trust. But so far, I'm good..
If what Chauvin had done had been illegal... The procedure has been explained. As long as the windpipe isn't impacted, there is normally no problem.
the only question in my mind is whether all those drugs in F's system may have made him more vulnerable to the knee thing... But still... how are cops supposed to know the full medical history of every person they apprehend AND/or the lethality of the drugs they have ingested?
yes, maybe they should assume the worst, health-wise/drug ingestion-wise... but I just can't help thinking about how...
Most legislatures are not going to make something legal that can cause death...
The problem is, which expert do you believe? One stated that a completely healthy person would have died in the same circumstances. The other issue is that the arrested man was completely restrained and a risk to no one. Whatever his record, he was a man made in God's image. People treat their dogs better. He was also innocent until proven guilty, again whatever his criminal record was.
From what I saw and heard, the problem was not the initial arrest. It was the treatment way past what was necessary to restrain the arrested man. It smacked of deliberate vindictiveness and hatred. I don't have insight into Mr Chauvin's mind, but I can see for myself the end result. So could the jury. It helps to remember that the jury gets a way more detailed picture of events than anyone else, except for those who sit through the court case.
That a white man was convicted tells me that the US is far from the racist nation that it was before Martin Luther King. I've only spent a month in the US, but I saw no evidence of systemic racism. Of course, it's a big place and there may be areas that are still living with a 1950's mentality. I did not come across them if there are.
