1st degree murder bluestarone Apr 2021 #2

Probably difficult to get a conviction for that and even if you did it would probably be thrown out cstanleytech Apr 2021 #34

that is pretty much what the post says stopdiggin Apr 2021 #68

I honestly don't think killing him was Chauvin's manifest goal... SKKY Apr 2021 #3

It was reported here that chauvin has had several other reports of use of too much force. brush Apr 2021 #5

A family member had a friend like that He was called in because way to many civilrights violations. Oppaloopa Apr 2021 #71

Maybe after 18 years he was ready to retire or move on to something else ToxMarz Apr 2021 #14

You are too kind. Whether he wanted to or not, he knew what he was doing while he was KPN Apr 2021 #55

18 complaints in 19 years... the Union sheilded him from prosecution. TigressDem Apr 2021 #66

Ok, see? That's new information I didn't have before... SKKY Apr 2021 #74

Agreed! When I heard they worked security at the same club, I knew they had a adversarial background machoneman Apr 2021 #81

Yes. They knew each other and had a prior "history." Has this come up in the trial? If not, why not? Evolve Dammit Apr 2021 #88

There was a guy who claimed Floyd was a good bouncer and Chauvin aggressive.... TigressDem Apr 2021 #89

It's obvious. He has shown zero remorse MVP Kamala Apr 2021 #4

And that is why the other cops are testifying against him Bettie Apr 2021 #9

That might be the only aspect of this case True Dough Apr 2021 #12

Yes, it's unprecedented. Perhaps this high-profile breaking of the blue wall... brush Apr 2021 #40

I don't think he was trying kill him. Jim__ Apr 2021 #10

Nah, his facial expression and wnylib Apr 2021 #24

Chauvin is a sadist Nutella Apr 2021 #58

And a killer. wnylib Apr 2021 #59

Agree. n/t sarge43 Apr 2021 #69

My read: maybe he didn't set out to kill him, but the impulse took over during his "restraint." BobTheSubgenius Apr 2021 #17

They need to look into the relationship the two men had at the club where they both worked. world wide wally Apr 2021 #20

I don't, and here's why. Not that I think he's a good cop, or Ocelot II Apr 2021 #21

Have you watched the nine mzmolly Apr 2021 #23

Yes, several times. Ocelot II Apr 2021 #26

It's difficult to charge and convict cops mzmolly Apr 2021 #30

He wasn't charged with murder 1 because the prosecution didn't think Ocelot II Apr 2021 #46

I do agree. mzmolly Apr 2021 #62

I opt for llashram Apr 2021 #80

No, I disagreed to appoint. First, he wanted to show who was in charge. ashredux Apr 2021 #27

I agree with this. nt Kahuna Apr 2021 #77

but why? will we ever learn Chauvin's motive, assuming there is one? RussBLib Apr 2021 #28

His motive was anger. mzmolly Apr 2021 #31

Why? Chauvin had done this yanking out and public restraint before. It was his M.O. FailureToCommunicate Apr 2021 #44

Chauvin is especially depraved Nutella Apr 2021 #61

yep. barbtries Apr 2021 #48

I don't know if he went into the situation intending to kill him per se Mad_Machine76 Apr 2021 #49

This has crossed my mind. There are times he looks to be digging his knee in harder Quixote1818 Apr 2021 #50

I agree, (although I have not seen the video).He "enjoyed it." & he was going to get away with it Stuart G Apr 2021 #83

I haven't watched much of the trial, did they mention that George Floyd and Derek Chauvin worked.... George II Apr 2021 #52

whatever happened about that club they both worked at? orleans Apr 2021 #54

I keep coming back to the fact that they knew each other. I think he had it out Luciferous Apr 2021 #72

My take is maybe that he didn't like the black bystanders telling him what to do.. Kahuna Apr 2021 #76

That's what it looked like to me. Texin Apr 2021 #78

I beg to differ. I believe Chauvin wanted to inflict pain, humiliation, and a demonstration of his Martin68 Apr 2021 #79
