In his opening statement, prosecutor Jerry Blackwell played the full cell phone video that first catapulted this case into national consciousness. The defense attorney pointed to other videos, including officers’ body cameras, that he says will show the full interaction. The first witness, a 911 dispatcher who said she was watching a live video feed, said she felt “something wasn’t right†and reported the incident.

Trial Begins For Ex-Officer Derek Chauvin Charged In Death Of George Floyd | NBC Nightly News
This cop gets what he deserves ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
A friend of mine that lives in Minneapolis told me that groups of blacks in hoodies are just walking around the business district looking into the stores, not buying anything, just looking…almost as if they were window shopping and picking out what stuff they intend to loot when the rioting starts.
the video of the defense attorney saying “derek was just doing what he was trained to do†is so stupid because when have you EVER heard of a cop kneeling on someone’s neck who initially resisted but became compliant and killing them??
Crackheads like George floyd should have been in jail to begin with
Chauvin will get off cause floyd died of drug overdose.
Also this has nothing to do with skin color, so get over it blm
Officer Chauvin worked all his life to protect others. What Floyd did? Ridiculous trial.
Ridiculous
The killer doesn’t have the guts to even look up and acknowledge anybody
Just sits looking rather proud jotting on that paper
Exactly what I’d expect from that coward
Remember Daniel Shaver a true injustice, but doesn't fit the media's narrative.
Chauvin had a problem with George Floyd when they worked together. I hope this comes out in court.
Sometimes I wish I was a lawyer it's just be a perfect case for me to handle it ain't nothing to say nothing to say sometimes I think the law Robby from everything even your beliefs how many times people call out to God and nothing change something right
Chauvin might be listed as an ex-officer, but he sure is included in "sidebars" and being treated like a well respected officer by the court.
Everyone needs to look up the Tony timba dpd incident in dallas. Race has nothing to do with it. Respect the lawful orders of police.
These evil policemen are sent from Satan the devil – 1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Read this carefully!
There is an elephant in this case that has never come up.
If Mr. George Floyd had a counterfeit $20.00 bill, was he aware that he had a counterfeit $20.00 bill?
I have personally had counterfeit $20.00 bills passed to me without my knowledge. Some counterfeit money is so good that if you do not have a Veri-pen you might accept one without your knowledge until you go to spend it and a cashier swipes the bill with a Veri-pen.
Pass the popcorn. What day do the riots start?
While I hope this man gets the harshest sentence possible….this is just the first step in the fight against oppression faced by black people in the US. Long live the revolution.
George Floyd got something called karama, he was a deadbeat his whole life that went to jail for robbing a pregnant lady at gun point. He was a druggy and a cheat up until the moment he died
Floyd got died while having drugs and handling counterfeit money, innocent ASIANS are killed by BLACK MeN so many times….WHEREIS THE JUSTICE FOR ASIANS ! ! !! ! ! ! !!! free the police officer
Oh please!!!! I’m gonna bake me some cookies
I willing to bet 300 that he gets off
Not guilty!
Derek chauvin guilty of being a cruel scum bag who should be in prison to protect the public…the other 3 officers are quilty of cowardly indifference to human life…derek life with no parole, the other 3 officers 25 to life.
That video is hard to watch
ANYBODY WHO THINKS THAT FLOYD DIED OF DRUG OVERDOSE, GET A FAMILY MEMBER TO HANDCUFF YOU AND KNEEL ON YOUR NECK FOR JUST TWO MINUTES.

What this Criminal keep writing on sheet of paper????? Instead of remorse, he shows arrogance and look at his eyes, full of cruelty. WTf, what is he keep noting there on that small piece of sheet?
There were 4 officers involved, it took this long to hand cuffs him .
Guilty by camera but not by him is there really a defence for what he did .
This POS Officer has a History of violence he worked part time as a Bouncer ffs, or should i say Thug ,lets hope this is allowed to be shown in Court.
Facts say, the cop knelt on Floyd’s neck for over 9 minutes, even though he was not resisting arrest, and had passed out extremely guilty.

Asphyxia plus drugs plus stress equal heart failure
Look George floyd was anything but a boy scout but he didn't deserve to be killed. The officer is guilty of third degree murder for sure.
I worry that people who are activists will want an unfair trial just to get a point across
Disability Racism from the Defense! Typical, that the Defense wants to put the blame the murder victim, and is using the autopsy conducted by the county/department and not the autopsy done by the family which contradict one another! Because the autopsy done by family who was the same Coroner that was also hire by family that did an autopsy on Eric Garner! In the report of the family hired coroner there was no evidence of hypertension, heart disease from having a bad heart nor was there any evidence of a "Mild Heart Attack" during the what is now 9m 20s kneeling on George Floyd's back and neck! What there was evidence of beside dying from being stoked to death was blood circulation being cut-off from the brain! That is the evidence that was found by Family Hired Coroner, yet the Defense is using the department hired coroner autopsy finding which is clearly Disability Racism! I am getting tired of this! And I am angry that the Defense is using Disability Racism yet no one is labeling it as such! George Floyd deseves better and Justice! Stop using Disability as a reason for your Racism and in Mr. Floyd's case made up Disabilities!
He still couldn't breathe because of the officer knee on his neck
This trial is a joke. The whole thing is on video and shows zero wrongdoing by Chauvin.
A conviction for any crime would be nothing more than pandering to the mob.
Hope all knows and understands he was detained for his and officers safety, arrested for a crime, lied and fought with police, was placed in the back of a cop car for his safety and awaiting ambulance, fought and kicked out of cop car, made bad choices to end up on ground, fought more to have an officer use a trained technique from police academy to subdue suspect, continue detainment, keep control of situation for his safety, publics safety, and officer safety; all while, an ambulance was inroute for his welfare and safety; that was, requested by the Police Officers that were concerned for his general well-being… the choices he made put him in the situation he was dealt. My opinion and two cents.
Derek you will be sacrificed to the god of P.C. 👿 Our world is upside down! 🚩Everybody’s waiting for the settlement check! 🚩
America is in danger, I am Ade Munandar, American people fail products America who have a very high belief that goodness will win against evil, and I am also not the type of goodness that can be benefited, ana child in America wants me to be Ade Munandar, I am Ade Munandar like cars I like home, although currently I am Ade Munandar still in Indonesia I am Ade Munandar, I am still an American, America's product failed, America is fighting for continuation or America is better, America is currently in danger of having an impact on the economy and others, I am Ade Munandar, I need to fire some the government of america, which is bad for americA
This is why the defense states in opening statements. Their gonna attack the bystanders" Wait until the EMT bystander testimony. https://youtu.be/aS5HcpDSzn8
Not guilty that's the way he was trained.
Would Mr Floyd have passed that day if the officer didn't put his knee on his neck for 9 minutes…No he would have made it home safely.
The cop that killed him deserves the death penalty
Equality for resisting police, passing phoney money and OD on drugs? How stupid…
Never Trust the police!
