The witness currently on the stand who was trained at the same place

[onecaliberal]

As most of the cops and even military is putting this case away. VERY DAMING. Knows everything about choking. Has been choked and can expertly explain in simple terms exactly how it was done. This was exactly what we all thought it was. A white cop killing another black man.

1. I hope this testimony brings the conviction we want. n/t

[onecaliberal]

2. I don't see how the defense can overcome this.

9. I hope you are correct, however,

as I told my wifey, OJ was not convicted of murder. Of course, we didn't have video evidence of the crime either. I never count my chickens before they hatch.

11. There Was Video Of Rodney King Getting A Beat Down

Didn't matter of course.

12. +1

13. Good advice. It was damning testimony. Same witness will continue tomorrow.

3. What are the odds that one of the eyewitnesses would practically be an expert witness on choking ?

This guy's got it going on.

I was wondering why we did 5-6 minutes on him and his son fishing, including how they finally killed the fish - by putting them in a plastic bag so they're suffocate.

About 15 minutes later, in describing what it was like to watch this killing...he described watching Floyd like "watching them fish in the plastic bag...flopping around and flopping around slower and slower until they stop moving". What a visual.

And he knows he anatomy and the effect of pressure in various parts of the neck as well as how to make a choke more lethal...which he just showed was happening as he narrated to the video.

Damning (I would hope).

5. He is very good.

The defense will say he is not an actual expert.

He knows his wrestling moves. Has been wrestling for decades.

And the video of him telling the cops to check Floyd's pulse over and over is powerful.

Damn HLN signal went out.

[onecaliberal]

6. He trained WITH most of the police department employees.

They know he knows.

[IcyPeas]

7. On HLN one of them just said the defense didn't want him going into all this. But

The judge allowed it.

Good.

14. The thing that they cannot explain away is why did the officer keep his knee on Mr. Floyd's

Neck for a full two minutes AFTER the officer was told Mr. Floyd did not have a pulse.

[Faux pas]

8. Kickin' with gusto!

I'm asking the universe for a life sentence for the murdering rat bastard

15. So am I

Even if I won't be able to step out of my own front door for the next few weeks. (I am horrified at what has happened in this town, even for the few years I have been here, but I am also a white, bald male. I have to go get a replacement SS card because the one I got in 1976 is not accepted anymore. There was nothing about not laminating your SS card for 20 FUCKING YEARS and now I cannot get my license renewed because of this. The closest office is just on the other side of 35W from all that. I am decrepit and already suffering from massive anxiety and depression. I don't need confrontation right now. Not even a dark glance...)

10. Kick!
