Kalit posted:I actually didn't know chief ME made that statement, makes a little more sense. But still hilarious. George Floyd was called "Big George" for a reason. From personal experience I can say that effective levels of prescription drugs are probably 50% higher than they are for average-sized humans. Considering his size and acquired tolerance, him having a bunch of fentanyl in his system isn't surprising.

The Lone Badger posted:So did the prosecutor get the nod from the police union to go ahead, or are they ending their career here? Nah, this is out of their league. The AG of MN is Keith Ellison, formerly the Congressional Rep from the district that Ilhan Omar is from now. He quit to run for state AG and he's personally overseeing this case. If the cops tried to push him too hard they'd have investigators up their rear end looking for evidence of witness intimidation and racketeering. Part of the reason that I'm not worried about the prosecution pulling any bullshit is that I don't think that Ellison would put up with it, and because I'm fairly certain that the governor also wants Chauvin breaking rocks in Oak Park Heights until he drops dead.

And for the record, if Chauvin is convicted I expect demonstrations and maybe a couple knuckleheads busting windows, but no riots. If he's acquitted or there's a hung jury I expect the city to get what it deserves.

CommieGIR posted:Love that his testifying basically shot himself in the foot. Every single person who I've talked to about it thought his testimony was outright bizarre and the idea that George Floyd died of CO poisoning was ridiculous.

Sjs00 posted:Not a pirate ship got it They're taking a particularly Minnesotan tack to the aftermath by treating it as an "all are punish'd" situation instead of doing a victory lap like you'd see in states where big egos can be more public about it. Everyone in the AG's office is a political animal and has a political future to protect. Ellison is a decent man but an ambitious one, and knows that the AG's office can be a springboard to either the Senate or the Governor's Mansion.

DOJ realized that the entire country would be up in arms if Chauvin got off and had a plan to possibly mitigate that. It wouldn't have worked, but it's nice to know that they had a plan to try.

Rather envious of Chauvin's lawyer, guy can float by grifting police unions and chuds for at least the next 5-10 by pretending that they can get him off if they can make this or that legal move. Often dreamed of living the good life off of the bucks of the worst people in America but never figured out a way to do it that wouldn't slowly destroy my soul.
