#ABCNews #GeorgeFloyd #FederalTrial
I’m just curious wasn’t the crowd shouting Floyd check his pulse
You can’t follow the lead of someone and then see with your own eyes where their lead was leading you only to say he had a better view leading me.
He's lying. I watched the Chauvin Trial. Totow or whatever was alerted by the MMA expert and the Emergency Responder who joined the group of people that Floyd could not breath! The cop looked at what was going on a few times. Its in the video!! Clearly he heard what the group was saying and was aware of what was happening. His "crowd control" was the result of the group pleading for him or to intervene for Floyd's life!!
George Floyd, 46, died while being arrested for passing a counterfeit twenty dollar bill in Minneapolis, Mn., on May 25, 2020. George was a lifelong drug addict and career criminal whose interests included acting in porn movies, selling cocaine and fentanyl, robbing defenseless women during home invasions, holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s abdomen, and spending time in prison among others like him. His cause of death will be disputed in court but unsurprisingly, he tested positive for methamphetamine and a powerful respiratory depressant fentanyl, two of his favorite recreational drugs. George moved to Minneapolis to get a fresh start and to leave Houston, where he had accumulated at least three convictions for drug offenses and aggravated robbery while armed with a firearm. The fact that his most recent arrest was for a non-violent offense shows that George had finally found his way. George is survived by several children from several different baby mommas, none of whom had seen him for years because he was only recently released from Texas State Prison after serving a five year sentence for his robbery conviction. Looting and burning other people’s property would be a nice way to honor George's memory.
But he sacrificed himself for justice
I'm actually glad the judge is sustaining a lot of questions by the prosecutors. It will force the jurors to rely MORE on the video evidence than the officers' own words.
just a witch hunt on cops doing there job, BLACKS pulling a race card again….

Not GUILTY on the plus side George has been sober since May 25 2020
Floyd was a no good bum. Good riddance to bad rubbish !
Tao and the other officers did their job in the crime ridden place. Had that POS obeyed orders he would still be alive!
The ASIAN man might get a light sentence, he was not on top of floyd . the white males did the worst of it of course
Not one cop on top of floyd tried to end the torture , they enjoyed it .
No sympathy hes worried today but he should have been worried that day!!
If my lawyer was the same lawyer that represented Kim Potter i would be getting a new lawyer
A lot of insult from my landlord, lately I got recommendations about Intellectweb s online, I'm happy now I own 4bedroom flat in MICHIGAN USA

Nothing on dur ham report proving hill arys guilt that is why a b c is garbage and against we the people!!! A b c was wrong and won't even acknowledge it!!!
You notice it only happens to minority cops…I don't see any white cops that kill innocent kids on trail for murder
Change the record already!!!
Here we go again. Killed for BLACK WITH A PHONE or SUBWAY SANDWICH or JAY WALKING. Thank God I'm not American!
1964 – A change is gonna come – Sam Cooke. 1965 – Color of Man’s Skin 4:41–6:15 – Billy Graham.

2022 – The World must hold the US accountable for human rights abuses both domestic and internationally.
The bystanders were urging him to do something, you can see that on the video.
Did they overdose the Thug with meth and Fentanyl, Good Riddance
Not guilty
Tao had been told several times of the seriousness of Floyd's health issues by bystanders. I think he is guilty.

It is the hierarchical structure of the police dept which has resulted in a system where they can't say no but also too poor to say no
Due to actions of people like Maxine waters I would’ve thrown this case out of court and held a fair trial with no leaks of where it was so there’d be no media circus there were several factor in George Floyd’s death one being him laying on the ground handcuffed with an officers weight on him 2 ingestion of fentanyl 3 presence of meth and finally a heart condion it wasn’t solely the officer that killed George Floyd rather than all the above mentioned

lol Thao seems like the type of thirsty little "sidekick" cop OTHER cops don't actually like or respect either….a real brainless p****y wannabe
Set them free
Sorry you're trying to stir up racial tensions and nobody's even faucing slightly interested

He did not hear him say I can not breath?
None is worthy of worship except ALLAH.
MOHAMMAD is the messenger of ALLAH.
Is any of this going to bring him back is any of this going to stop it from happening again the answer to both is no.
Sincerely Yours, King X ðŸ¤ÂÂ
