First day, everything revolved around the neck period and the crowd watching.
Yesterday, they showed all the individual body cam footage as well as video of Floyd, after he left the store and the employees came out to ask him to come back to talk about the phony bill he passed.
We see each officer from just before they arrive at the corner and follow them from there to the conclusion, with audio, and with the background voices, previously heard in other videos.
Floyd was yelling he could not breath from the time they tried to get him up and walk him back across the street to the first cop car. Long before any restraints other than cuffs were used. At no time does Floyd stop resisting or yelling like a madman. Cops are heard commenting on their thoughts that he was on drugs, maybe PCP? All the while, sounding and appearing to remain calm and matter of factly doing their jobs.
You have see all the video, not just selected sections.
But I think the prosecutor is making a great case that it was NOT murder.
....so far.

The girlfriend said George had just bought drugs from this friend. Why would the prosecution call this guy as a witness? Was it so he would plead the 5th and the defense would not bother calling him later in the trial when it is their turn?
I have not been following closely but watch this guy who is a defense lawyer and is paying attention. He went through the jury selection and came up with 7 guilty and 5 maybe not after they were selected.

And of course, who shows up today?
Racist agitator, phony minister, and all around POS Al Sharpton.
Hey Al, while you're in town, you should stop at Cup Foods, grab a coffee, maybe a pack of smokes.......

BLM is saying the city will burn if Chauvin gets acquitted.
Since it was part of Minneapolis training, there is a possibility the first trial ends in hung jury. I wonder how much will get burned?

You actually believe the lawyers when they say that people are presumed innocent until proven guilty? 67% of the incarcerated people are locked in jail while awaiting trial. If we presumed that people are innocent until proven guilty...wouldn't these people be in their homes instead of in a jail cell?

Something big needs to happen to wake up the “woke” crowd.

Yes the big thing that must happen is that the unwoke crowd gets as nasty as they are an attacks them similarly.

The solution is simple, Mr. Thask. Put up the bail money for those eligible and then they can go home. Gotta put your money where your bleeding heart is.

Black Lives Matter activist threatens 'all hell is gonna break loose' if 'George Floyd's murderer is not sentenced'
https://www.theblaze.com/news/ready-...e%20Daily%20PM
The above is the bad news. But the good news is that because Prez Dementia has said that BLM is just an "idea", we know the above threats are just bluster.
P.S.
Floyd needs to get a change of venue ASAP. It's impossible for him to get a fair hearing in that city.
