Numark3 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Yea, it should be manslaughter or maybe 3rd degree murder. None of the other officers with him that day should be criminally liable though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 He will die in jail. That dude ain’t going no place but the big house for a long time, most likely the rest of his life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So each crime usually has a different level of culpability associated with it. And separately, each crime also has specific circumstances tied to it. 1st degree murder - intentional and premeditated (and then specific circumstances is just killing a cop) 2nd degree murder - intentional but not premeditated 3rd degree murder - not intentional, but you were knowingly doing something so reckless it was a conscious disregard for human life 1st degree manslaughter - intentional murder but with understandable circumstances, like heat of passion (catching your wife cheating) 2nd degree manslaughter - basically negligence each has some very specific circumstances, but I only listed it for the first murder. my thoughts. 2nd degree manslaughter is the most appropriate, and is the most common for stuff like this. But you could shoehorn it into 3rd degree murder. I expect 2nd degree murder just because. Not really appropriate though Edited April 3, 2021 by Crayola64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chauvin knew better, was trained not to do that, knew it restricted Floyd’s breathing, heard him begging for his life and yet kept him down like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he really didn’t like him not because he wanted him dead IMO. He let his emotions get in the way and he will likely pay dearly for it. Human emotions ***** up so much of our lives from poor investment decisions to marital infidelity to killing someone. We are emotional beings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of things that can be learned on both sides of this tragedy if we are willing to look at them straight on . The way Chauvin went about the arrest after Floyd was in cuffs should be a learning video on what NOT to do in police training . Then there is the other side but let me say bad guys don't seem to learn or want to learn any thing from past behavior because they are bad guys . First & fore most don't commit a crime . Second if you have committed a crime and a man with a gun, taser, dog or other reinforcements are around don't be belligerent, don't be combative, don't resist in any way, don't run and remember the cop is only doing his job & wouldn't be there if it weren't for your actions . Oh and if you have committed a crime or crimes prior to being pulled over it's all on you no one made you do it but you & your decision making put your future motivation into something other than being a repeat criminal & life will be much better for all concerned and the earth will be a better place !!

You know there is a part if me who thinks the city , the police powers and training, the push for macho, the blue code, the military training, the style of weapons provided, the police union all played a part on making of the present Derek Chauvin. Not suggesting he is not responsible, but others created the culture that fostered him. Like the fighter in hockey, the cheap shot defensive back, the Suh of the d line. Nurtured to be violent. Nurtured to hate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) I voted yes. But why didn't the dude just comply? He'd be alive. Brought in on himself dealing with a whacko LEO. Same with all of these other losers who have been killed by the cops. Just do what the cop says. Pretty simple.
