Derek Chauvin: My Turn

You can say what you want, and you’re absolutely correct. George Floyd was no angel. George Floyd used drugs. George Floyd had just committed another crime.

 

Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes. During that time, Floyd quit struggling and passed out. Bystanders began to scream for Chauvin to let up, but Chauvin kept on kneeling… and George Floyd died.

 

George Floyd may have had enough drugs in him at the time to kill him. But, the threat to life he posed had ended long before Derek Chauvin stopped the kneel.

 

Just as you don’t shoot someone when they no longer pose a threat, you don’t kneel on their neck after they become unconscious. 

 

The verdict was just. Those who burn and riot in Floyd’s name, however, are terrorists and need to be treated as such.

 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
