Rationalizing somebody being murdered for passing a fake $20 bill... That's a new low even for this infected colon of the forum.

Pointing out the battles of the prosecution isn't supporting the idea that someone should be murdered for using a fake 20. Not sure why you think I'm on the side of Derek Chauvin acting appropriately here because I don't think he did.

He was handcuffed when he fell to the ground and then got a knee to the neck -- he wasn't exactly going anywhere. I just have to wonder what the fuck is wrong with anyone who would attempt to justify the behavior of the police in this situation.

I posted a link earlier on about how handcuffed suspects can still be a threat but nonetheless that doesn't justify a 9 minute duration of a knee to the neck. Chauvin is negligent and he was rightfully fired. My point was strictly made to address a legal perspective which was can you prove intent to murder when Floyd died from a heart attack after resisting? Manslaughter sounds appropriate, but hey, I'm not a lawyer so what do I know. But you absolutely do have instances where people get overcharged with crimes which end up in acquaintance.
