Surprisingly, I am unaffected in my opinion of the officers involved in this. You can argue "whatabout" George Floyd until your blue in the face, that doesn't make what they did any better.
They were paramedics.My sympathy for him extends to that officer remaining on his neck long after he'd ceased to struggle, and in fact after he'd died, and how they treated him when it came to loading him into that stretcher. That video also raises the question of why exactly county deputies arrived with a stretcher rather than paramedics.
Damn near every cop I know says Chauvin shouldn't have had a badge. That is pretty damning right there IMO.Surprisingly, I am unaffected in my opinion of the officers involved in this. You can argue "whatabout" George Floyd until your blue in the face, that doesn't make what they did any better.
My only issue is he didn't put him in resting position. That is the only mistake I see.Damn near every cop I know says Chauvin shouldn't have had a badge. That is pretty damning right there IMO.
Down here is SC It is knee on Shoulder not neck.My only issue is he didn't put him in resting position. That is the only mistake I see.
I was even taught the knee on neck thing when I went through Jailer training
I'm from GA remember? When handcuffing someone whonisnon thier stomach. You come in, but one knee on the neck, the other underneath the arm and then you use that to grab the other hand and cuff them.Down here is SC It is knee on Shoulder not neck.
I was trained once you have the suspect down you grab on of the thumbs to gain compliance. Taking hold of a thumb can be very effective in controlling a person at times.I'm from GA remember?

They teach us what they do in a jail setting because you need to be able to restrain someone much larger that won't make it easier to grab thjer thumbs.I was trained once you have the suspect down you grab on of the thumbs to gain compliance.

Shrugs different States different training. And different periods of time. Mine was from 16 years ago.They teach us what they do in a jail setting because you need to be able to restrain someone much larger that won't make it easier to grab thjer thumbs.
Only if threats are made, and there are alternates that can be swapped in as well. Usually, the members of the jury are actually public knowledge, and even when they aren't (likely in this case) they frequently become public after the trial.Heard a rumor that someone in the courtroom might have taken a picture of the jury.
If this turns out to be true, and that picture leaks, where does the trial go from there? Will they have to scrap the current jury and seat a new one?

They absolutely should, insofar as anyone publicly identified as having found him innocent would be destroyed by the media, blamed for the inevitable riots, and rendered unemployable for the rest of their lives. It'd be like a mob boss' trial, only with the threats telling you to find them guilty rather than innocent.Only if threats are made, and there are alternates that can be swapped in as well.

I worked in a jail before I joined the armyJailer training?
You're an MP?
Some are getting close, but worse, this could become a mistrial, and that's worse than a conviction or acquittal for everyone, as it means riots and the whole thing happens again, and that conclusion will be riots as well.Are they in contempt of court?
