    As a black guy, I can find nothing wrong with your analysis. Chauvin was clearly high on his own power and felt that satisfying himself was more important than doing his job properly as a police officer. The other officers are almost as guilty because they, unlike the regular citizens, could have stepped in and pulled Chauvin off of Floyd. Regardless of what Floyd did or his general state of mind, he did not deserve to be suffocated to death. The lack of empathy on the part of the officers was clear and unfortunate. People like that have no business being cops. If they used to be better people, perhaps it is the culture you mentioned that has to be changed.

      I live in a country with mostly white folk. Since hearing about this case, I've been so sad. Mostly because when I want something to change, I just take control over it. In this case, I can't. And I am afraid of poc falsely believing every white person is an enemy. It hurts me so much to see this divide between us. Every life is valuable. I wish you all the best and if you are in the US, I hope you can stay safe.

      GET IT?
      People need to stop mentioning that as if she HAD BEEN MURDERED! Yes, it was awful to do this but they did their theft and left. Many times such an assault ends in murdering the homeowner for the sheer thrill of murdering - NONE OF THESE MEN KILLED HER, THEY DID NOT EVEN. KNOCK HER UNCONSCIOUS WITH THE BUTT OF A GUN, NOR DID THEY BLIND HER OR TIE HER HANDS DOWN NOR TIE HER TO A CHAIR NOR DID THEY RAPE HER. PUTTING THE GUN TO HER BABY MAY IN FACT HAVE HELPED HER STAY CALM AND NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID WHICH COULD HAVE ESCALATED THE SITUATION - BECAUSE the gun being on her belly helped her remember she had to keep quiet to protect her baby (which kept both of them safe). So, contrary to what a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman first may strike us as, it actually was a very helpful thing for them to have done that. They were not wearing masks either, which would have been more terrifying. There was actually a sane method to this action. They were black men and she a black woman, so there was a level of understanding each other culturally as well, which helped keep the situation calm and a clean theft ONLY so to speak. Neither did they taunt her even with the threat of rape, nor did they cut her face up with a knife nor trash her home for the thrill of it. This puts this act, though fully unlawful, in a whole better light than what many truly awful perpetrators have done.

      +Algo1 Floyd was wacked out of his mind on meth and fentanyl. Fentanyl increases your chance of having a heart attack 100x. George says that he can't breathe before being pinned down. This is a symptom of a heart attack. He also said he was claustrophobic and his stomach hurt. Two more symptoms of a heart attack. George is 6 foot 6 and muscular. He freaked out in the back of the police car. That is why they pulled him out and pinned him to the ground. The medics didn't give any medical care when they arrived. Seconds count. Instead they loaded into the ambulance and drove to a different location to look at him. He wasn't pronounced dead at the hospital until an hour later. The medics probably could have revived him had they started resuscitation immediately. I think everyone thought that he had just passed out and wasn't dying.

      it’s called a taser. It’s called pepper spray. It’s NOT called murdering someone with your knee and asphyxiating them to death by holding that knee for nearly nine minutes-two of which he was fully unconscious. It was a heinous act of brutality and murder. And should have never happened and could have been prevented had they used different methods. It doesn’t matter if the victim was a saint or not. Who among us has never sinned? Let them cast the first stone. Who among us has never loved someone who was in a dark place in their life and made horrible choices and paid the consequences for those choices? Do we love them less because they make mistakes? Who has never hurt because someone we loved broke our hearts with their mistakes? If you cannot relate to what I’m writing, you may not have a soul, a conscience or you’re devoid of empathy. Because He was a human being. A life. And he had the right to live and go on living. Most people have done regrettable, some even unlawful, things in their past. And many people have turned their lives around. I turned my life around. When I was a teen and young adult I made many regrettable decisions. Then I made a decision to turn my life around. And I went to college and became a social worker got married and am raising a family. I got my education and have a fantastic family and career and life now. Every day is another chance to turn it all around. Who knows what better things he could have done had he lived. He moved to a new city for a fresh start and was in process of doing that very thing. But he was murdered and that chance to do better was horrifically extinguished. Redemption is possible. People are not just the sum of their mistakes. He was loved. He is mourned. He was someone’s son. He was someone’s father. He was someone’s brother. HE WAS A HUMAN BEING. A WHOLE HUMAN BEING. NOT JUST THE MISTAKES HE HAD MADE. BUT A WHOLE HUMAN BEING. Someone who loves him is crying at the loss of him right this very moment. What he did in his past is irrelevant. He did not sit before a jury of his peers and be found guilty and sentenced to death for a counterfeit $20 bill. He was denied any due process whatsoever. He was MURDERED. And Murder is murder. His past is irrelevant and it’s disgusting for people to act like his past transgressions somehow excuse the fact that he was murdered. Like that makes it ok to take his life. He is the victim of a homicide. Victim shaming is a shameful act in and of itself. Period. And for those who do it, you’re making a disgrace of yourself. Not the victim. YOURSELF.

      @D C The police chief of Minneapolis has testified that ex-officer Derek Chauvin violated the agency's policy on force during the arrest of George Floyd.
      Chief Medaria Arradondo said the way Mr Chauvin restrained Mr Floyd was not in line with training and "certainly not part of our ethics and our values".
      The chief fired Mr Chauvin and the three other officers involved days after Mr Floyd's death last May.

    • @johnsteinrock6125
      @johnsteinrock6125 3 года назад +1

      @D C Mercil testified the restraint Chauvin used was unnecessary.
      And has since been banned.
      "An expert witness testified in the trial of Derek Chauvin on Tuesday that officers used excessive force against George Floyd during his fatal May 2020 arrest. LAPD Sergeant Jody Stiger, an expert in tactics and de-escalation training, reviewed the case and testified for the prosecution..... Earlier, more Minneapolis police officials took the stand. Their testimony came a day after Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified Chauvin's actions violated department policy.
      Tuesday's first witness, Minneapolis Police Sergeant Ker Yang, explained how the department's crisis intervention team responds to people suffering behavioral or mental health crises. He said officers are trained to de-escalate a situation whenever "safe and feasible." Next up, Lieutenant Johnny Mercil, who trains officers in use of force and defensive tactics, took the stand. A martial arts practitioner, he said he incorporated Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques into the department's police training. He said officers are trained to use the least amount of force possible to gain a person's compliance."
      At the time of Floyd's death, Mercil testified officers were authorized to use neck restraints by applying pressure to the side of a person's neck to gain compliance, but only for people who were actively resisting or assaultive, and only if other techniques had not worked. Looking at a a picture of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck, Mercil said it was not an authorized neck restraint. He said such a restraint is not authorized to be used against someone who is handcuffed and under control. All neck restraints at the department have since been banned." It's very doubtful Mercil's testimony will clear Mr. Chauvin.

This technique has been banned in MN as a result of Chauvin's actions so probably very dangerous. "At least 32 of the nation's 65 largest police departments have banned or strengthened restrictions on the use of neck restraints since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd after a Minneapolis police officer held his knee to Floyd's neck for more than seven minutes, a Washington Post analysis shows."

      Bella Hammer....And yet it's not so different ! Dr. Grande is basically saying that this cop knowingly and willfully decided to and carried out the murder of George Floyd, and was willfully assisted by the other two cops who held Floyd down, and the fourth who stood watch to further facilitate their crime. Any layman watching that horrific video comes to that conclusion themselves, especially when you get the side view behind their patrol car and a full view of George's body and the other two thug cops on top of him. Dr. Grande goes on to conclude that sadism, narcissism and total domination were the psychological factors in play here with Chauvin primarily, and the others to a lesser degree, as well as racism and conspiracy of all them to commit murder. This analysis is pretty spot on. Thank you for covering such a timely event in such a timely manner. I would have just preferred a more in depth analysis of the psychological factors of this case...i.e these killer cops, but I guess you might have time constraints with these videos.

According to your analysis and assumptions, this cop was out there killing people routinely with a smile on his face. Your disappointing assessment that this was definitely racially motivated has no evidence to support it unless you know something that hasn't yet been reported.......I heard a report that these men knew each other but you don't mention that......

Instead they loaded into the ambulance and drove to a different location to look at him. He wasn't pronounced dead at the hospital until an hour later. The medics probably could have revived him had they started resuscitation immediately. I think everyone thought that he had just passed out and wasn't dying.

      Those were not paramedics but officer's check the video again they were wearing body armour and side pieces. In my opinion they were attempting a cover up but were not expecting the posting of the video and the actions that followed.

    i appreciate the distillation of the issues in the chauvin trial. it was good to hear a psychological perspective, and i had been watching the trial in its entirety. the judge, has declined to allow any evidence of psychological issues, perhaps validly (per rules of evidence) but i think we miss out on the big picture when we do.

    I couldn’t watch the video of Floyd it was so sad I think the verdict was just. Thank you for sharing on this.
