The video clip that was shown over and over again back in the beginning made my blood boil.

I'm guessing a lot of people had that same reaction.

But if the toxicology reports actually state George Floyd had over three times the potentially lethal limit of fentanyl in his bloodstream:

One possible outcome is that a good defense attorney uses that to create reasonable doubt.

Should that happen and a not guilty verdict be reached:

I hate to ask (but given all that's happened) what happens then?

If the officers are found not guilty, more riots.

The body cam video shows a lot more of the situation. Most interesting is how the other two occupants of the vehicle interacted with the police. Follow instructions, and had no problems, even though they were both black. One of the other people also said that George was acting crazy. No wonder the DA kept these video's hidden as long as he could.

I still cannot abide the knee on the neck. If they let him sit on the pavement sitting up........then have him evaluated by a medic he probably ends up in the hospital under arrest.

The knee on the neck? I just can’t get past it. I’ve been in those scenarios too many times (more often as a hospital cop) and you never do anything like that. When I went thru the academy in California in 1983 they were still using the choke hold. But warned it was a last resort. Shortly after it was banned by most departments. I can’t get past it

The fact that evidence was concealed, a good lawyer would have any charges thrown out connected with the case. I agree with Ralph that the officer acted poorly and is an asshole, but lawyers rip these cases apart when corruption in prosecution surface.
There will no doubt be riots, but anything short of severe sentencing, riots will happen anyway.
