Why not just use a fake name :fp:

I can’t think of any other explanation for this situation other than Chauvin deliberately and preemptively deciding to kill Floyd. The length of time that he had his knee on him makes no sense other than intentionally trying to kill him.

Every second Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd was a conscious decision he made.

Maybe Chauvin thought squeezing for nine minutes is the appropriate amount of time it takes to get a spliff out of a man's system.

If this is found to be murder, do the other cops then get tried for accessory?

I've only just heard about how difficult it is gonna be to convict this strawberry floating cop. No way in hell are they gonna get everyone to agree to guilty on all the counts.

He's going down. It may not be for length of time people want, but he's going down.

They just need one right-wing moron on the jury for an acquittal. The prosecution evidence has been overwhelming though and anyone with a brain in their skull would vote guilty on all charges.
