- I already stated, a person can suffocate without getting bruised
- Even more of a reason to treat it as a medical emergency, not a threat
- A person can't be frantically resisting arrest and falling asleep. In other words, get your story straight
- Derek Chauvin's supervising officer testified today that when Floyd went unconscious, normal protocol is to uncuff him and definitely stop pinning him to the ground.
- Lol what?
- The first EMT on the scene testified today that any layperson could have performed chest compressions on George Floyd. None of the cops did that. More importantly, they didn't put him in the recovery position. That is called abuse my man.
- Riiight. There were like 5 cops on the scene with guns vs 1 fatally doped up George Floyd, such a huge threat!
- How the fuck is the crowd on trial now?
Even someone like me, who has had very little first aid training knows about the recovery position. So the fact that the cops literally let him lay there and die shows a willful disregard for his well-being. And that's why the jury will have no choice but to return a guilty verdict.
-can you suffocate without any medical signs of asphyxiation? Because that’s what happened. No mention of it on the medical examiners report
-if the knee was on his neck, there would have been some form of even superficial damage. There wasnt
-You don’t treat an enormous methhead screaming, fighting, rolling out of a car into traffic and resisting arrest as a medical emergency, you treat it as a threat
-and then that officer testified that outside of that one aspect, the officers acted rightly restraining him until the ambulance got there.
-they called an ambulance long before he was even on the ground.
-“cops with guns“ you would’ve preferred they used their guns?
-the crowd is a part of the trial. It’s funny, like the prosecution, you only want to focus on the single aspect of the situation, which is the video that you saw from one angle and were told to be sad about. The fact that it took place within a greater situation, that things happened before, during, and after, that you weren’t aware of, and from perspectives you haven’t seen, you want to write off or count as insignificant.
some other highlights from today:
-when george Floyd was calling out for “mama“ he was calling out for his side piece, who drove him to the hospital when he overdosed the month prior and did pills with him and he called mama.
-paramedics were able to take George’s pulse on his neck while the cop was restraining him, further proving that he wasn’t on his neck.
-the prosecutors brought in the police supervisor but testimony was objected, because he wasnt the one that reviewed the evidence, other than what the prosecution showed him, and they were only able to ask a couple questions before the judge stopped them. The defense cross examined and had him confirm that virtually everything the officers did was justified and nessessary given the circumstance.
-the paramedics testified that to revive Floyd was a labor intensive job, and with two of them and a police officer in the ambulance, they also needed to call fire for help.. they also testified that they couldn’t work on him on scene due to the hostile crowd and had to take him to another block
basically, the prosecution looked like the defense
