MN v. Derek Chauvin Trial Day 4 - David Pleoger - MN PD

Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, 44, stands trial in the alleged murder of George Floyd, 46. As seen on the footage, the defendant kneeled on the victim’s neck for minutes until after the man became unresponsive during an arrest over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill on May 25, 2020. Jurors must determine under the law if Floyd died because of Chauvin’s actions, or if it was really something else. The medical examiner noted that he also had arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, and also fentanyl, and evidence of recent meth use.
Both sides jockeyed over evidence amid jury selection. Judge Peter Cahill ruled jurors can hear evidence Chauvin once told another officer in a separate arrest to apply a Hobble restraint-a kind of a restraining belt used by law enforcement-in a “hog-tie” position although a woman allegedly did not put up much resistance. The state can also show evidence that the defendant knew how it was dangerous to kneel on the neck of the prone Floyd.

I dont get the question about would/how common is it that youd decide not to hobble someone after deciding to hobble them when someone starts having an energency after youve decided to hobble but you havent yet applied the device. 🙄 Am genuinely curious about what was going on there. They Didnt end up hobbling him, just sitting on his neck for 10 mins to Hold him...? (Did chauvin Ever even once Mention a hobble...?) He HAD the emergency DUE to having his neck sat on, not randomly for no reason in between chauvin deciding to hobble but before he actually applied the device. Wait, is he trying to say chauvin was being Compassionate/following standard, reasonable protocol in Not applying a hobble & rather just sitting on his neck....!? Are you Insane...!?? 🤦‍♀️grrrr

[@docastrov9013]

I think is was that when ambulance arrived time would be wasted unhobbling.

[@MyMy-we3wi]

Should have hobble him from when they first got out of the car. Because at one point he was sitting against the wall. Why not just let the man sit. That’s what I want to know. No hobble No medical assistance No pulse checking Wow I’m sure this is part of their training or I’m missing something

[@Cakey-K]

14:29...its a wrap. Guilty

[@conniemunoz4780]

Everyone should understand that if the knee on the neck killed him, why was he saying he can't breath when they were first trying to get him in the car. Make we wonder if the drugs were already causing a cardiac arrest that will keep a person from breathing. I'm sure police hear all kinds of excuses to not get arrested, just like Floyd did in 2019. You can see him setting in the back of a cop car just one year before this with no words of being claustrophobic.

[@marianb2530]

Even if that were true, the knee on the neck was an added BONUS...

[@maryb6672]

He was having a panic attack, almost certainly due to the drugs. That said, his death was not due to drugs. Drugs only explain Floyd’s behavior, not Chauvin’s.

[@awright119021]

I do believe the drugs and stress played a role in his death, but I'm sure having 2-3 people on him for that long did as well. You can't ever know if he would've died without the police doing that, especially Chauvin on the neck area. You can't know if he would've survived if they had started cpr once he was unconscious. It's a messed up situation in which the officer should've helped the person in his custody at the very least. I can see why he was found guilty although I do think the sentence was a bit much. On top of that, if he was innocent, he would've been convicted anyway to avoid a huge riot/ total destruction so good thing he wasn't.
