I saw enough with my own two eyes to know Chauvin didn't commit murder but after watching the first half hour of this there is not even a shadow of a doubt left. I know most of the regulars will not take the time to even open the link but here it is. The Fall of Minneapolis | A Crowdfunded Documentary
This is the second pro-chavin and third thread overall in like a week…. Dude is where he belongs, getting shanked in prison.
In a related future heartwarming story…. “Inmate TOTALLY EXONERATED in Chauvin shanking. Death caused by accidental fall on knife while performing oral sex…”
My intention was to post this in the "Was Derek Chauvin Wrongly Imprisoned" thread but that thread has been closed by someone.
One Derek Chauvin thread on the front page of Too Hot is enough. I can merge this one with your last one or lock the last one? your choice
It doesn't matter....I just watched a bit of the documentary and thought it would make an interesting topic. Lock whichever one you want.
Derek Chauvin defenders are in shambles ever since hearing their hero got sliced up like Thanksgiving turkey
Well, 1 of the many reasons to not put your knee on someone's neck is cuz if they die people are gonna blame the knee.
I can’t think of anyone on this forum who would say that Derek Chauvin is their hero. Do you have any quotes from anyone on this forum who would say such a thing?
Boy can you pick em. The producer’s husband, Kroll, is a disgraced former cop, ex-police union chief of Minneapolis who is barred from being a police officer for 10 years for beating up George Floyd protesters. In 2007 Kroll was named in a lawsuit for four black police officers — including the chief — brought against the Minneapolis Police Department for discrimination. As examples of Kroll's prejudicial treatment, the complaint said Kroll openly wore a "white power" patch sewn into his motorcycle jacket. Kroll is reportedly a member of the City Heat Motorcycle Club, which has been cited by the Anti-Defamation League for its white power connections. I figured you’d like her since she claims she’s a victim of reverse discrimination and a vast left wing conspiracy to marginalize her reporting and ruin her husbands reputation. Her book was picked up by zero publishers and eventually was published by Paper Birch Publishing which is basically a self publishing front. Now she self produced this “movie” no one will pick up either. Former Minneapolis police union leader Bob Kroll barred from policing in 3 counties
I defend Chauvin not because he is a hero but because from the first time I saw the video I realized his knee was on the back of his neck not in a choking position. I also realized because of the uproar of the media there was no way he was getting a fair trial. The documentary confirms these points and takes it much further. We all know Floyd was a scumbag and had a lot to do with his own death. We all knew he was saying I can't breathe long before he was on the ground. There was a lot I saw in the documentary I did not know, he claimed he was shot by the cops in his drug arrest just a year earlier. Video from that arrest shows no such thing and shows him going into his crybaby act in that arrest too. He also claims to be grieving for his mother who just died...His mother died 2 years prior and I will almost guarantee Floyd had little to no love for his poor dead mother. I only watched 30 minutes so far but if the rest is as telling as the first 30 or 40 minutes it sure makes it hard to see George Floyd as a martyr type.
Floyd was handcuffed and Chauvin knelled on his neck for 9 mins. Floyd died of “cardiopulmonary arrest”. And in op; I’m not watching a right wing conspiracy video for 2 hours. Interesting maga is supporting Chauvin.
While the justice system spoke, and perhaps his conviction was the appropriate justice, but I seriously doubt Chauvin woke up that day planning to kill a black man on the job. He did his job poorly and a man died and he was held accountable. People celebrating him getting stabbed in prison is in poor taste.
Look at it this way. What if Floyd was a mentally ill person instead of a person with a criminal history who was on drugs? Does that change anything? While Floyd’s own actions contributed to the situation and he wasn’t a saint he didn’t deserve to die. Chauvin’s actions were clearly negligent and excessive and lead to Floyd’s death. As to the other cops who were convicted that day I don’t think they deserved to be convicted.
I never learned what the objective was of his placing the knee the way he did and for the duration that he did. I would need to learn more about that before even giving any kind of consideration for him not being guilty of causing another's death (or otherwise denying their ability to live, however you'd want to word it).

He's guilty. The prison stabbing proves it. If the Floyd incident was merely a political witch-hunt, they would have left him alone. The stabbing proves the inmates knew and Chauvin knew. They got this one right. He's guilty.
I don’t recall the OP ever identifying as MAGA. And I even know some people you might identify as MAGA siding with the left on this one. The left appears to be the monolithic group walking in lockstep with what has been dictated as the correct view on this….FWIW.
Kroll sounds like the type of winner a certain contingent would rally behind But definitely not surprising.
