Hate to burst anyone's thought bubbles here but even if the last witness was problematic - that wasn't my opinion but I wasn't paying super-close attention to the details - it still doesn't detract from the previous witnesses, notably the Chief of police, against whom the defense will have to provide some line of argumentation, which they haven't.

The state doesn't have to prove Chauvin's actions were the deciding factor that killed Floyd, even if it looks likely they were. Guilt can be established through misconduct, and the case seems solid there.
 Quoting: Destin-Toulouse



There's no misconduct here that any rational person could find. You have 3-4 average to small sized cops dealing with the 6'4-6'6", 223 lb body builder, BIG FLOYD, who was high on drugs and being aggressive, in and out of the cruiser, and trying to subdue him for their sake & the bystanders. They were way outmatched and did the best they could without killing or injuring him. I'd have hit him over the head with the nearest blunt object and so would any bystander there. We were misled by the footage we were shown endlessly, the body cam footage clearly shows Chauvin on his shoulder, not his neck. There is apparently no evidence that Chauvin injured Floyd at ALL, and that he died from a combination of his OWN DRUG USE & MEDICAL PROBLEMS.

This, alas, is a political case, not a legal one. It must be SOLELY a legal one to be fair. We are asking completely unreasonable things from our police and pitting them up against a well armed and physically superior criminal element. If the police try to subdue or God forbid, have to kill one of these criminals (and they almost all have extensive criminal records) THEY are the ones in endless trouble.

This is unrealistic and has to stop. The end result is what we see - an America whose cities are increasingly consumed by CRIME.
