I haven't followed the defence this week but when your own boss is saying that they are absolutely not trained to do that in any way shape or form to a handcuffed man and three medical experts said it's that which was the overriding factor in his death... yeah he's going to the big house.
I dont envy him that's for sure.

That of course will just open the gates to more rioting, violence and accusations of racism - prepare yourselves

Slavery was abolished more than 150 years ago, yet African American populations remain one of (if not the) the nation's poorest and segregated ethnic groups. Just put police brutality aside, a host of research shows that they are proportionally more likely to suffer wrongful arrests, wrongful convictions and face obstacles for the same administrative procedures as other groups.
Why do you think that is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’re also more likely to be involved in gang crime and criminal activities in general - that statistics speak for themselves
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why don't you try answering the question. Why, in your opinion, are black populations 150 years after slavery was abolished, still (among) the most marginalised in the country?
And those statistics, that you say speak for themselves, what do they say to you?
My fear in this case, is that all it takes is for one, just 1 Juror to say not guilty. Cos of reasonable doubt.
Although yesterday’s defence witnesses did more harm than anything else.
This Brood guy was so disingenuous, playing with words to try back Chauvin.
As a lawyer said, you don’t have to WIN everytime you answer a question.. the fact he got pedantic about saying the words ‘On Top’ isn’t a good look to the jurors, cos in the end he ended having to say the words.
But he got made to look like a fool, hope it continues.
A little thing though, just what in the hell is Chauvin writing. I don’t think for a minute Nelson even bothers to look at his notes.
I think he’s logging stuff, thinking of a book deal to come later down the line...

You need to take a few steps back at look at the bigger picture.
Due to inequality black people have suffered across every walk of life (schools, jobs, etc) and the lack of privilege they get causes poorer communities, poorer parents that don't have the money to look after their children, don't go to nice schools and therefore end up in gangs, committing crimes just to survive.

This has to be the most loaded question of all time. The fact that you have twice quoted how long since the abolishment of slavery suggests that your response is already typed.
Most crime is committed by black males because of Gangs. A lot of the time this is created with single mothers bringing up children without a father figure.if you have to ask why black people are stopped and searched then I would suggest that you are either thick or being provocative.

He should be given the lethal injection for what he done not only to the man he murdered but for causing all the mayhem that came after it
Calling it murder is where it gets silly. Does anyone really believe he intended to kill him in front of loads of witnesses? Just another moronic cop thinking he is king of the world.

Fiftieth arrest this week Derek so you had better kill the next one, we need all the extra paperwork
I read the latest guy killed by Police around there was because she used her gun when she thought it was a taser.
I can't even work that out.
There does seem to be an inclination in the US not to prosecute:

She obviously can't work under that pressure and the incident needs to be investigated. You can't have the old bill not knowing the difference between a taser and gun ffs.
Saying that, if the lad acted in the right way he would still be alive. There is no question that his actions leading up to the accident caused his demise. You see it over and over again in the States. Some of these guys who get pulled over must have a death wish. I can't work it out.

Calling it murder is where it gets silly. Does anyone really believe he intended to kill him in front of loads of witnesses?
yes because they get away with it frequently over there

So if I shot and killed someone, a good defence would be that I only meant to hit his kneecap, but I'm a terrible shot.

I read the latest guy killed by Police around there was because she used her gun when she thought it was a taser.
I can't even work that out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
She obviously can't work under that pressure and the incident needs to be investigated. You can't have the old bill not knowing the difference between a taser and gun ffs.
Saying that, if the lad acted in the right way he would still be alive. There is no question that his actions leading up to the accident caused his demise. You see it over and over again in the States. Some of these guys who get pulled over must have a death wish. I can't work it out.

That of course will just open the gates to more rioting, violence and accusations of racism - prepare yourselves
------------
Slavery was abolished more than 150 years ago, yet African American populations remain one of (if not the) the nation's poorest and segregated ethnic groups. Just put police brutality aside, a host of research shows that they are proportionally more likely to suffer wrongful arrests, wrongful convictions and face obstacles for the same administrative procedures as other groups.
Why do you think that is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’re also more likely to be involved in gang crime and criminal activities in general - that statistics speak for themselves
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poorer communities more likely to be involved in crime, is this a surprise?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it’s not, but it also doesn’t excuse the fact that crime is still a crime irrespective of circumstances
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So why does 'just doing his job' excuse him?
