    Nothing of the sort, done to anyone, is acceptable.
    This is America the brave.
    And the racism is clear and present in all its ugly forms, from sea to shining sea.

    And I hate when ignorant people try to deflect their faults, mental fragility and natural insecurities by branding the UK, as a whole, racist.
    Unfortunately, in this, sad, day and age, one cannot argue with wokesters for fear of being mislabelled and thus giving up on the precious freedoms of speech and thought that our elders so valiantly fought for.

    As I understand it he is charged with 2nd degree murder akin to UK manslaughter.

    Ahhh well as he was prone, handcuffed and being restrained by others what posable need would there be for the cop to place his knee on his neck?
    Most of the evidence will come out in the trial witness (both visual and verbal) with expert medical opinion.

    So there was no full weight placed on that knee on his neck, there, that was easy :) facts will guide the case, not emotive assumption :like:

    Nothing of the sort if you are kneeling on an object where does your weight go? It transfers on the the surface of that object be it the ground, a bean bag or a neck

    (sigh) Your taking "Take the knee" literally, didn't you see chauvin has two legs? So why the full weight on that particular knee? Your the only person who has seen the full weight on that one knee, there's no evidence of it, none, any proof?

    Something killed that feller. It wasn’t drugs. It was the officer on top of him.

    Weight is easily shifted from one leg to another or one knee to another as required in varying proportions. Presumably there was sufficient weight to kill the guy, whichever knee and whatsoever the weight used. Chauvin did the job and undoubtedly mal-intent was his preoccupation. What Chauvin did was overkill. No excuses. I hope he serves a long sentence in prison.

    I know, I never denied that once, I just contested a statement of fact that an entire bodyweight was on his neck, I asked for factual proof, nothing else, otherwise its just speculation and that means diddly squat in a courtroom.

    Don't base the case on an opening witness statement :)

    Not a deliberate "my actions are going to kill this geezer" murder, no, I can't.

    George Floyd was in handcuffs on the floor, so why did Chauvin find it necessary to kneel on him and shimmy around to get maximum pressure on his neck?
