Yeah, doing department approved methods to control suspected criminals is warranting criminal charges.
SO what's gonna happen if the cop that killed George Floyd get off?

So either he's not competent enough to know when he's in control of a situation or doesn't care? It doesn't actually make it better
...and if he was following those department approved methods, then that would presumably be determined in the trial. If that is the case, and those methods are found to have caused/significantly contributed to the death of an innocent man (presumption of innocence and all), then that needs to be determined and those methods need to change.
Cops aren't supposed to kill people, innocent or guilty.
He already lost his job. He was fired. His own supervisor testified against him too.
We shall see what happens. I always bet on the money. Defense has a lot of money, so I think he will walk. But he will never be a cop again.
What do you think his training says about what to do when a suspect becomes unresponsive? For1 minute? 3 minutes? For 9 mins?
Do you think kneeling on his upper back lower head but definitely not the neck area on an unresponsive suspect is an approved method?
the trainer testified yesterday that he himself has restrained a suspect up until emt arrived.
regardless of the defense pushing for uncertainty for the cause of death, the prosecution only needs to prove that chauvins actions "significantly contributed to death".
even if a juror concludes floyd died of an OD, they can still find him guilty.
It doesn't matter what I think, especially in this day and age of media bias and slanted reporting. What matters are the facts.
And if he's proven innocent, he'll never have to work again, because he'll file a wrongful termination lawsuit against the department and the city, and will make millions.
I’d like to agree with you, but facts don’t always determine outcome. Money has more bearing in court than facts.
yeah not really.

Explain OJ then.
If he can't breathe you must seeth
Lack of evidence. After all was said and done, oj boiled down to him not liking his ex-wife and a glove that he couldn't shove his hand into. No witnesses, no real evidence. The way that money helped was he was about to secure superior lawyers. Having a stack of cash in court is irrelevant if your lawyers suck
Money buys good lawyers with a team of lawyers behind them to use any number of tactics to discredit actual evidence like DNA at the scene and Bruno Mali shoes he said he didn’t own yet he had pictures of him wearing them.
So yes, money can buy innocence where lack of you negotiate guilt. That is our justice system
So yes, money can buy innocence where lack of you negotiate guilt. That is our justice system
If the evidence shows you were not-guilty, money didn't buy your innocence.
If you were guilty could you have thrown that money at lawyers and got off? No.
If you didn't have stacks of cash but happened to find a really good lawyer that worked for cheap and found the same information, would you be found not guilty? Yes.
So money doesn't /= innocence. Good legal council does.
