Floyd seems to "struggle" in car before being extinguished

Post by bignflnut »

New surveillance video shows George Floyd in struggle with cops in back of police car BEFORE being pulled out and 'killed' by officer Derek Chauvin

New video appears to show George Floyd, 46, in a violent struggle with police
Clip was posted by activist Shaun King who said: 'Police were in the car beating the sh** out of George Floyd'
White officer Derek Chauvin was captured on video kneeling on Floyd's neck
Floyd, 46, fell unconscious and died, and Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter
I'm sure this will inflame and fuel all sides...
This is going to be an OJ level trial (if it ever gets that far).

Aren't we lucky that "activist" Shaun King was nearby? :roll:
Some say Floyd and Chauvin worked as bouncers together. (chin stroke)

Plea deal reached for Chauvin

https://apnews.com/article/death-of-geo ... 26802c0395" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The judge overseeing the federal civil rights cases of four former Minneapolis police officers in the killing of George Floyd said Wednesday that he has accepted the terms of Derek Chauvin’s plea agreement and will sentence him to 20 to 25 years in prison.

Chauvin pleaded guilty Dec. 15 to violating Floyd’s civil rights, admitting for the first time that he kept his knee on Floyd’s neck — even after he became unresponsive — resulting in the Black man’s death on May 25, 2020. The white former officer admitted he willfully deprived Floyd of his right to be free from unreasonable seizure, including unreasonable force by a police officer.

Under the plea agreement, which Chauvin signed, both sides agreed Chauvin should face a sentence ranging from 20 to 25 years, with prosecutors saying they would seek 25. He could have faced life in prison on the federal count. With credit for good time in the federal system, he would serve from 17 years to 21 years and three months behind bars.
