premeditation doesn't require he woke up that morning and thought "i cant wait to kill George Floyd."

Isn't this exactly what premeditation requires

Premeditation in the legal sense only requires the intent to kill before taking the act. Premeditation (for any normal non cop person) can be established in the literal blink of an eye. If you decide to kill someone and immediately thereafter point the gun and pull the trigger that is premeditation for legal purposes. In the real world you can’t prove that unless they confess, so any court is going to accept the fact that you did it intentionally as enough evidence to prove it was premeditated

Well no poo poo. What a weird definition of premeditation the courts are using

no. he killed george floyd slowly and through deliberate, intentional action. chauvin had many, many minutes to contemplate what he was doing and the foreseeable consequences of what he was doing. he didn't shoot floyd in the "heat of the moment" or whatever bullshit.

Yeah I got corrected on this. hosed up
