If you haven't had the opportunity to view this film, I highly recommend it.
Very well presented.

Only city I felt like a minority. The airport is a *******.

You need to get out more. LOL.

I'll have to give this a watch in the a.m.
Gary if you still have your lady friend in Arkansas, next time your down go and visit Pine Bluff. I would hate that Minneapolis is the only place you felt like a minority. lol

mnsora- Just got through he first 20 minutes, mostly the body cam videos. Wow, the guy was melting down. Drugs are a bad deal, especially with one zipping you up and one zipping you down. All 4 of those cops now doing time now, correct? Political prisoners...

Yep

mnsota or anyone else from Minnesota,

I'm a hour+ into the documentary and they've been talking about the "abnormal" response time of the Mpls Fire/Rescue after the cops called for EMS-- taking over 20 minutes to come half a mile; has anyone in the state ever gotten an answer to why the EMS response was so slow during the evening of May 25, 2020? Given that earlier in the film, its shown that members of Fat Boys International are talking to the county ME within a week after he gave his "official" autopsy that shows cardiac disease (probably accelerated by chronic drug use) AND meth and fentanyl on board in the toxic report sort of makes my "tin foil hat" a tingling.

Was it ever determined 1) where did GF get the counterfeit U.S. currency?, and 2) who gave GF the meth and fentanyl? Maybe its just way, way too crazy to actually entertain but this is during the same Presidential administration where members of the Fat Boys had gone "rouge" and taken out the new president's national security advisor (a 3 or 4-star Army general) and tried to take down the POTUS himself.

Ok, I'll retreat to my paranoia tent once again and finish the movie.

I have no intention of watching another documentary on that subject.

In my opinion though, I can tell you that there should be at least one more person in prison....That witch that was "filming" the whole thing. The more she filmed the more the super-hero performed.

Just watched the first 20 minutes and am learning they found pills with Floyd's saliva on it in the police rig. The media and politicians sure did a bang up job of making "suckers" out of people with all sorts of things in 2020.

If you’re implying the police killed this thug, that is the whole reason to watch the film. You may learn something from it. Never hurts to take in more information, only hurts your pride when you find you’ve been fooled and fell for it. Sometimes that’s a hard pill to swallow. In this thugs case, the pills he swallowed killed him and threw our nation into turmoil. Just as some wanted….

And that's the key point in the end.

Chauvin is a narcissistic thug. He played right into BLM's hands because he refused to back off just because some teen aged activist was threatened to "tattle" on him.

It is pretty well known that the drugs would have killed Floyd had there been no intervention, let alone abuse.

As a matter of fact; Chauvin applied for appeal because he had not been able to present such evidence. His appeal was just rejected without a stated reason.

The totalitarian government has already made up their mind on the matter.

And that's the truth...

Yet that cop kneeled on a mans neck for what 20 minutes? They could have easily just cuffed him and stuffed him into a squad car or ambulance. Those cops are not blameless. Prison may not be justice but they did deserve to lose their eligibility to be cops.

Life ain't fair:

• Chauvin didn't give Floyd a chance
• The govm't didn't give Chauvin a chance

Sadly, I don't think the government should have that option.

Chauvin didn’t give floyd a chance? He gave him plenty of chances to comply but he refused, floyd put himself in the situation he ended up in.

They tried repeatedly to stuff him in car. A night stick probably would have done the trick but a video in the 80's stopped that procedure.

Any situation can escalate and de-escalate in a fraction of a second, over and over.

There very well may have been an opportunity or two to get off of Floyd's neck during that eight plus minute hold and move him into the car.

That is the whole problem with this case. Was there, or wasn't there. and how much would it have mattered?

That thug did not die from asphyxiation, that has been proven also.. knee or no knee, his date was sealed when he swallowed more fentanyl than even his drug laden body could tolerate. Sad that a few people ae paying for his issues…. I’m not a policeman, but in order to put up and survive in the neighborhoods some of these men are forced to patrol, you’d better have a hair trigger or you will be swallowed up by the bullies. Bad people only react and appreciate aggression in many instances unfortunately. The weak get weeded out quickly amongst the packs.

Pretty sure no cop anywhere will do that again.

9 minutes he knelt on Floyd's neck. Floyd was a career criminal, not a hero as the media made him out to be.
"They're Lying" is a good book to read to get the real story.

As a community, we missed a perfect opportunity to resolve the situation.

We should have offered up Mayor Frey, and Governor Walz as sacrifices to the mob.

Figuratively. the mayor should have done what his name implies.

Please understand this is not to be construed in the literal sense. Only that these weaklings never stood up when they had the chance, never accepted any responsibility, and even found ways to take credit.

Did you guys watch the documentary?

We can have a conversation about what happened to Floyd.

How the leaders of the city and this state allowed the riots to happen and abandoned the 3rd precinct is another matter. It's a disgrace

I said from the beginning that those policeman did what their handbook told them to do.
I was called a mental midget for simply stating the truth.

I quit posting on here because, even on here people don't want to hear the truth unless it fits their way of thinking
I opened my eyes and found out that most of you are blind.

Who said that?

I can't see nothin'

Staggering amount of evidence for defense was not allowed by the judge. The Supreme Court was just as complicate by not taking the case under extensive review.

Osky

The body cam videos are very interesting. Chauvin and the Hmong guy came to the situation about half the way into the scene. Chauvin took control because he had the most seniority (I think he was a Sgt.). The first two guys tried to shove ole George into the car several times but failed. The knee on the shoulder came when Floyd started kicking one of the first two cops while he was on the ground. Supposedly, according to the movie, the first two cops were both newbies and riding together (?)(doesn't seem a good thing to do). Ole George talks all kinds of crap, such as "he just lost his momma" (she had passed 2 years earlier), the last time he was arrested "he was shot" (not true), lied about taking any drugs when asked, and then (maybe) tells the truth that he "couldn't breath" when first (and second time?) they tried stuffing him into back seat and before anyone "knelt" on him.

Full disclosure, my bedroom town cops showed the church youth group a number of years back one of their squad cars-- they were driving those Ford Escapes such as it appears the Mpls cops had in the body cam video. The back seats, with the separation between the back and front seats, is a fairly tight space. I can see if someone was freaking out, they wouldn't want to be there. I think the reason many police departments went to such rigs is that if there's too much space in the back seat and the perp's legs aren't hobbled, they can get a lot of force into kicks and break out side windows and maybe even the back windshield. Smaller transport space doesn't allow such action as easily as in the past.

Just guessing here but..., I thinks his family that got the $$ would not give the $ back if they could resurrect that pos.

If god came to them today and said I can give you george back but I need the money back, they’d quickly say george who?

Finally got this watched...all I can say is WOW! I knew it was a hamstrung case, but I didn't realize the extent of the corruption.

So True

20 minutes?

He was in the squad car at one point (and wanted out).

They were also WAITING for the ambulance to arrive.

Had the ambulance arrived sooner (as was called for) none of this conversation would be taking place.

And funny, the autopsy clearly stated there was no trauma to the neck area.

Just a thought.

George had been convicted at least 8 times and had been stopped or had altercations with the law at least 23 times. Google it and all you can find is stories making him a hero and the cops murderers.

I've heard that EMS response is so long in areas that are "troubled". EMS waits till there are cops on scene and the place is as safe as it can be before they show up.
In a related note I saw an article about Milwaukee Fire Fighters having problems with items getting stolen off trucks while they are fighting fires.

It is a disgrace. I couldn't imagine how those stupid people re-elected Frye again after all the damages he allowed to happen.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You live in PA, we live in MN. We have first hand knowledge, you don't. You are going by what the media wants you to.

I had the same thought.
Growing up I thought Minnesota was a craphole. As I get older and travel the country, I realize the standard of living here in MN is unique. I'd sooner live in Minneapolis than just about any other major city I've been in. The airport is so far the best I've been in. Granted I've only been in around a dozen of them.

NonPC, it wouldn't surprise me if no charges were ever brought up against the other perps, however the one from the passenger seat did stand before the judge as a witness and it seems as though the corrupt judge coached him along the way.
The feds jumped on this right away,..very convenient.
