      Well I mean he probably has preexisting conditions, also (I mean I haven't watched the video, I'm not going to humor this grifter) there's probably a bit before the actual act where he coughs which proves the cops had nothing to do with it and it's just another 'unfortunate' event.

    Im not gonna watch the video but I can tell from the picture that this dude is putting the same amount of pressure on his back as his neck. Hes also squatting to purposely keep weight off of his neck.

    Let me take a crack at it Steve

      Definitely, you can see their center of weight is resting on their own legs, Chauvin was kneeling upright with full weight on the neck.

        This was something they discussed in the trial today -- based on the positioning of Chauvin's feet, it was clear that almost all of his weight was on Floyd.

    Obviously because he didn't die during this controlled experiment we need to exonerate Derek Chauvin asap and gofundme him at least 600 million dollars for pain and suffering 😤

    this is the same as when one of these rightist pricks had his friends "waterboard" him. it's such a bad-faith argument

      Wasn't that Christopher Hitchens? Because he was waterboarded for real (albeit with a safeword) and after that, he immediately changed his stance on waterboarding. That particular instance showed he wasn't ENTIRELY bad faith.

        Separate events, the Hitchens one was legit waterboarding and not just some photo-op facsimile

    Just in case anyone needs some brain bleach here is the time Crowder tried to pick a fight with some union guys and they beat his ass so he ran away

    I wonder if I could become a soulless grifter like him or if the guilt would eat at me and drive me to suicide

    This is absolutely disgusting in every conceivable way. That cop was very clearly putting his full body weight into his knee while he pressed a human being onto hot pavement for 9 minutes. How you could watch the footage and instead of immediately feeling sick to your stomach, want to “disprove” the violence that occurred, is so deplorable... I have no words, throw this guy in a pit.

      It's the kind of shit chuds need to write this off even more than they already had and to spread misinformation. It's easy to refute, but having to go through the bother is the point. It wastes time, plants doubt, and gives false credibility to chud-narratives.
