Yes, but he didn't do it correctly, as outlined in the manual. That's why George Floyd died.

Physical restraints are incredibly awkward and never go right. Shit happens. Trans lives matter

I agree.
Derek Chauvin shouldn't have got twenty years for what was essentially manslaughter.
There are 250,000 deaths from medical errors in hospitals and care homes in the U.S. every year and I'll bet almost none of those frickers get 20 years in jail.
His sentence was political. But he did frick up.

I'm sorry you don't believe Floyd was murdered. If somebody caves your head in with a bat while you're already handcuffed I hope they blame the person swinging the bat and not the person's employer or the manufacturer of the bat or the instructions on how to use the bat or whatever drugs you were on whilst having your head caved in or something.

Thanks for the link.
Nope. More like a comparison of different types of apple, but definitely an apples and apples comparison.
Not even remotely close to what Chauvin did to Floyd. A closer analogy would be using an approved restraint that is taught in the police academy but doing it incorrectly, which is exactly what happened.
Are you simple or something?

So it's apples to apples until it's not even remotely close?

Holy shit, you ARE simple.
Try reading what I ACTUALLY wrote, not what you fantasize about me having written so that you can 'gotcha' me, because your fent-addled brain is clearly letting you down here.
'apples and oranges' refers to deaths caused by the police and deaths caused by the medical fraternity.
'not even remotely close' refers to your stupid comparison between what Chauvin did to Floyd and someone taking a baseball bat to the head of someone in handcuffs.
I know words are hard, but TRY. REALLY TRY.

that doesn't sound like a murder to me, it sounds like a manslaughter.

Yes. Manslaughter is what it was.
He was convicted of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, all of which are pretty much what most people would simply call versions of manslaughter (ie. unintentionally causing death through some level of negligence), but because two of the convictions have the word 'murder' in them, people just say he 'murdered George Floyd'.
Just like medical staff 'murder' over 250,000 people in hospitals and care homes in the U.S. every year.

regardless, it was still a show trial because the two other cops who were with him were also tried and convicted of some bullshit, and we left a george floyd mural in kabul when we evacuated afghanistan, so chuds are still 80% right about that topic. and he had enough fentanyl in his bloodstream to conceivably kill someone (though most likely not him since he was an experienced user).
the one thing chuds are wrong about is playing up floyd's criminal history, it's not like he was a real menace like jordan neely or something.

Hadn't he just gotten out of rehab? How long does it take for tolerance to fade?
