I leave it to you to decide why, from the Trayvon Martin case to the George Floyd case, the media has so consistently misrepresented the facts. Whether it is that unskilled reporters are covering these matters, or that the press is simply looking to attract consumers with florid tales, or that the media looks forward to destroying urban areas with false tales of murderous white racists (amid a shortage of real ones), I cannot say. (Snip) It occurred to me then that if people like these could be sold the false narrative, officer Derek Chauvin was surely in for a judicial lynching.

Clarice is correct, rioting will commence. Innocence or guilt is not the aim for the mob. Destruction and trashing of our culture is the only outcome for the mob.....aided and abetted by the city waifs.

The jury WILL convict. Whether out of personal fear or personal animus, the media has thoroughly poisoned the well and even a change of venue would not have helped. Chauvin must be sacrificed to the Lords of Antifa and BLM. And sadly, for his own safety in prison for the next decade, he will essentially be on death row and in isolation lest his head be some scum's trophy for having murdered him. WHO will want to be a cop now?

I have watched most of the witnesses, except the hysterical bystanders, and would note the following:
11 nanograms is a lethal dose of fentynal, especially when combined with methamphetamine and a variety of opioids,
There was no independent autopsy by Dr. Baden. That was a Benjamin Crump lie.
Floyd was 6'6"tall, and the restricted back seat of the SUV was too small. Did the city eliminate paddy wagons for transport? If so, why?
The three officers were using restraints they had been taught by the city's police academy trainers.. The Police chief should be on trial for murder for approving those restraints.
The defense, I predict, will put on some compelling witnesses.

George Floyd was a criminal killed in the act of committing a crime. The case would be open/shut if not for the racial shenanigans and stupid people of all colors.

I've been watching the trial on Court TV, which leans left but you don't have to listen to their commentary.
One extra fact I'd known was that dealers, when in danger of being arrested, force their own customers to EAT all of their product.
I had the sad experience of living next-door to an abandoned property taken over by a dealer.
I saw him force drugs down the throats of his own customers to avoid being busted for having enough drugs to be over the limit of "personal use," in CA.
George was sitting on the front seat with his dealer.
All of a sudden, as arrests were looming, he has enough drugs to kill him either in a packet (that he drops) or in his mouth (some of which he spits out in the patrol car.)
Later he dies with fatal levels in him.
Odd since he was broke.
Dealers don't give product away to broke addicts.
But they do force addicts to consume product rather than let police catch them in possession.

A pretty good look at the facts, which those who actually cared have been able to have in their hands for many months.
I have a copy of the Floyd autopsy report on my computer, downloaded the day it hit the net. I read it, and spent some time with a medical dictionary learning of some of the medical jargon. The nonexistent "petechiae" written about in the autopsy report are KEY POINT, often missed by those who read it but gloss over the 'big word' and don't take the time to look it up and understand it. Even a superficial definition will not give a casual layman the key information on petechiae. The simple definition is 'little red dots under the skin'. The meaning needs a deeper search, which I did back then.
The autopsy report says:
"No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae." OK, is this important?
Yes, it is CRITICAL. It shows what Floyd was not strangled.
From a NY Dept of Criminal Justice training report on "Strangulation Information", we find:
"Petechiae or petechial hemorrhage
**Tiny red, brown, or purple “dots,” ranging in size from a pinpoint or a speck of dust to around 1/10thof an inch
**Occur as a result of blood capillaries that burst from the strangulation, causing bleeding under the skin. "
Here is the report, read for yourself:
https://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/ops/training/other/DIR-Training/story_content/external_files/Strangulation%20Information.pdf
After understanding the the autopsy specifically ruled out strangulation or any sort of soft tissue injury to Floyd's head, neck or upper torso, by doing careful dissection of all those tissues, I called a pharmacist friend.
We discussed the survivable dose of fentanyl, and I did some more online checking. Since some drug abusers can work up a tolerance to opiates, it was difficult for my pharmacist friend to absolutely say what would be a fatal dose for a drug addict who had built up tolerance, the 'normal person' fatal dose is known. Floyd had triple that fatal dose in his system.
I asked my pharmacist friend how they could tell what dosage was safe, if some folks had such a tolerance. His answer was very telling. "We give them what is normally a safe dose and then observe them for symptoms. If they are getting too much they will begin to have a little trouble breathing and we know not to give them any more."
So - as has been pointed out, having trouble breathing is a primary medical indication of an opiate (fentanyl) overdose. No strangulation. Trouble breathing after a massive dose of fentanyl. Classic opiate overdose symptoms.
Floyd killed Floyd with an overdose of fentanyl. The officers did nothing to harm him, and followed procedures and training all the way.

The prosecution can crumble and fail but it will still win the conviction of guilty. Chauvin better resign himself to the fact that he will never be free again. The jury at this point is just sitting there waiting to vote 'guilty as charged'.

The biased intemidation pressuring the Court, the witnesses, attorneys and Judge is immense. Yet if the Judicial System is to ensure its integrity according to the Constitution, Justice must prevail, based exclusively on the evidence. Chauvin is innocent until the facts prove to the Jury that he is guilty. So far, the dems' press has tried to decide this case, and others involving law officers, instead of the jury. The press has no integrity. Hopefully this Court does!

#8, I think that you are way too negative.
My bet is that there will either be a "shocking" innocent finding, or a hung jury if one or a few folks will not go along if there is a lynch mob mentality in the jury room.
All the Enemedia expected Zimmerman to be found guilty, but he was found innocent. If the jury is honest, the officer will be found innocent. If not, it takes only one honest juror to hang the jury.

any EMT or paramedic knows that blocking off the carotid artery renders someone unconscious in 10 seconds. If Chauvin's knee had been blocking off Floyd's arteries he would have been unconscious long before the 8 or 9 minutes of the incident. Video shows knee was on the shoulder blade, not on the area of the neck where the arteries are. Chauvin is innocent.

I feel sorry for any person who is unfortunate enough to be "cared for" by that incompetent fat broad who claims to be an EMT. I'd rather not have this sort of dangerous fool "helping" me.
