George Floyd and then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin — who has been charged with second-degree murder in Floyd’s death for kneeling on his neck during an arrest — clashed with each other when they worked security together at a nightclub, according to their former coworker.
Inching towards Man 1?
Pinney said he had “no doubt” Chauvin knew he was kneeling on the neck of one of his coworkers that day.
“He knew exactly who George was,” Pinney said.
Anybody else see Murder in the 1st here?
Yea. Looking at murder 1.
Still would be hard to prove he intended to kill, though getting murder in the 2nd will likely be easier if you can show that he knew Floyd and didn’t like him.
This is probably going to be as telling as the video the dumass released with the murder of Abury
I trust Ellison to make the right determination with the charges. It’s becoming clear that he deserves (at the very least) the charges that have been filed.
He came onto the scene after Floyd was subdued. He had him removed from the car and then forced his nemesis to the ground, commanded his charges to hold him down and then knelt on his neck long enough to kill him despite pleas for mercy. Yeah, he thought about what he was doing and kept it up until he achieved the desired result.
Yeah, a perfect excuse for murder fell right into his lap.
Still would be hard to prove he was determined to kill him from the get go, and given how its hard to get a conviction on a cop in the first place… Though this information does make it easier to prove murder 2.
Now this is interesting. There was all this talk that they may have never met each other at this club, one outside, one in. I thought it rather strange that two people could work at the same small place for years and not know each other.
That knee on the neck is going to get much more complicated and the charges against the criminal Chauvin may get upped. Yep, just doing his fricken job.
He kneeled on the neck of a handcuffed man for 8 minutes, hearing him plea for mercy and feeling the life slowly drain out of him. A man he knew, and didn’t like, as demonstrated by third party witnesses. I don’t think they will up the charge to 1st degree murder, but from my vantage point this certainly seems premeditated.
If true, this is a submissable case for 1st degree murder.
I think it depends on how far back your idea of premeditated goes. IMO if he wasn’t a cop, they likely could charge with Man 1, but getting a Man 2 convention in this situation would be a victory for justice.
What really pushes me on how this should be a easy Man 2, is the almost 3 mins of him being
unresponsive, while he was still on top of him, with no effort to help.
There are thousands of people who’ve been convicted of first degree murder based on a prosecutor demonstrating how long it took to stab someone 51 times or to reload and put more bullets into a victim by arguing that even if the initial blow or shot was fired in uncontrollable rage, intent to kill had to have been formed by the time of the last.
This may be the first person coming forward. There are bound to be more and they might have the goods on this bad cop.
Nothing worse than a rotten rotten cop.
Except Hillary. And Soros.
It’S too sOOn.
Well. Rotten cops team up with a rotten da.
