I hope I am wrong. He needs his day in court. But, I fear that he will leave the building in a bodybag.

Not necessarily. Chauvin worked in the parking lot and Floyd worked inside as a bouncer. As of yet, no one knows if they ever met or worked the same shifts. You may be right....

Be careful Mike....I don't want to see you in the news. But, I agree...if we do not stand up to the thugs....we will be outnumbered, outgunned, and we can kiss freedom good-by.

Strange that you should ask. About 6 years ago, a member of my family was arrested for breaking and entering. Cops were called and at the same time I was called by a friend. The cops and I arrived within seconds of each other, I arrived first. The cops surrounded the house, a baton was used to bust down the door, my relative was manhandled to the ground, hog tied and cuffed. My relative was confused as he was d**gged from the house and put into the squad car. The whole thing lasted 38 minutes. I remember every detail as if it happened today.

Well it seems that a well meaning neighbor called the cops about a man who she thought was armed breaking into the house. She did not know this had been his home and suffered from Alzheimer's. He had a confusion attack, he thought he was home and he had misplaced his keys. He was only 55, but had been diagnosed for two years. He was quickly declining in health and in particular his mind. He died shortly after this incident.

I did not like the way he was treated, but I understood that the cops were doing their job.

So...I have been there..I held and still hold no ill feeling for these policemen. They were called, they arrested....by the books. His funeral was attended by most of the police and the neighbor.

How many days will it be until the lights go out at 2AM and Derek will be dead? Was his arrest used to stop the r**ts...meat for the animals?

Sad thing about scapegoats...after they fulfill their function, they are k**led.

Read the complaint. Links have been given several times.

I guess that is a question the officer will need to speak to....

He had gone limp several times, got up and fought with the officers. It is easy to go limp and for that matter slow your respiration/heart rate way down. My resting heart rate has gone as low as 40 bpm with respiration to 3 breaths per minute and I can make this happen by meditation… Not saying Floyd did this....I am saying it is possible.

I believe that he died from a combination of conditions. But, like you...I need to see the comprehensive autopsy with his blood work and dissection of head, heart, and liver.

Here is a picture of the hold, notice the nose and mouth are free...notice the placement of the knee. The Carotid artery (one on each side) runs anterior of the jaw bone, the trachea is between the arteries....all in the front of the neck, that is the throat.

I was ranting.....

I strongly support our military and police, things like this makes my blood boil.

He was not chocked. The officer did not lean on his throat, which is the FRONT side of the neck. He leaned on the side of the neck resting the knee on the three major muscles that keeps the head upright and allows you to turn your head from side to side. See attached. Sorry about second diagram, but see the large muscles in the neck...that is where the knee rested. Remember when Floyd fell as he was scrambling out of the squad car, he fell on his stomach....that is why I used the back diagram.

Throat

Read the handbook.....I gave links several times.

Not for 17 years, Floyd was in prison up to a year ago. The officer worked at the club for 17 years. The police officer worked outside in the parking area and Floyd worked inside as a bouncer.

Personality and "feeling" aside, the arrest and restraint was by the book.

Eventually....
