What the hell is Derek Chauvin doing having his own Movie Chat page?

You speak English? My response is self-explanatory.

lmao!

I hear ya.

Yeah I'm a little surprised they give people attending their trial a page discussion on moviechat. I'm not sure I agree with that but hey, it's their site. Derek Chauvin didn't give his version or testified at his trial because he decided to use his constitutional right to avoid so. I'm not sure it was a good strategy considering we and the jury will never know his side of the story and, well, he was declared guilty anyway.

I still don't see where Chauvin crossed the line. I watched a lot of videos these last years of so-called police murdering black people. I will be the first to condemn a murdering cop killing people in cold blood (black or anyone else) but it's usually not what I can see. The only video with a real murder was the one showing a policemen who shot a black dude in the back when he was running from after being arrested for a minor driving offense. Again, he seemed to resist arrest but obviously you don't shoot someone in the back for that. Moreover, the cop tried to hide proofs by moving stuff on the crime scene. The cop was convicted and I think it was deserved.

But almost all the other videos out there are not at all what people want them to be. They are mostly showing cops doing their job and having to use violence (force) to control lunatics not being cooperative. Things escalate quickly, mistakes are made and people die. It's risky to resist an arrest. You know where it starts, not where it will end. No ones likes violence and people dying but it's part of a cop's job.

When I see Floyd and Chauvin, all I can see is 4 policemen acting profesionally, using very little of force. They know it's daylight, there is plenty of people around them and that they are filmed, they won't kill a guy they don't know anything about. On the other side, Floyd resisted his arrest during the whole time. Passively, but still resisting. If you listen all the videos, you will notice he even says "I can't breathe" when he enters the car ...
