Google and wiki didn't help me - how long is this trial expected to run? It sort of seems like they've covered most of the people who could testify so far?

riddle me this, as a non american law knower. The standard of proof in a criminal trial is fairly high, if defense can raise the possibility that Floyd died of an overdose and point to the autopsy that shows fentanyl in the blood - doesn't that prevent them reaching 'beyond reasonable doubt' and Chauvin could get off some or all of the charges?

cr0y posted:How in the cinnamon toast gently caress do police see one of their own basically get the book thrown at them and then immediately think "Pulling a gun and shooting at this child will go my way" seems a little hasty, BW looks like she was in the process of stabbing someone. What are police supposed to do when they see someone about to get stabbed? https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/crime/2021/04/20/one-person-killed-officer-involved-shooting-east-side/7309088002/

Sanguinia posted:De-escalate rather than immediately murder someone? quote:Bryant then appears to swing a knife at a girl who is on the hood of a car, and the officer fires his weapon what sounds like four times, striking Bryant, who died a short time later. I agree but what does de-escalation look like in this scenario when someone is actually swinging a knife at a victim? if there is space and time to verbally de-escalate or back off etc then they ought to do that but here?

Sanguinia posted:You know what there's not space to do AFTER you shoot the gun? Undo murdering someone if you hosed something up in your fraction-second decision where you defaulted to "Murder That Scary Looking Minority" as the obvious right answer. We can agree to disagree here. If someone is about to imminently receive a fatal or life threatening injury that is clearly a case where cops are justified in shooting.

forbidden dialectics posted:I am actually aghast at this post. After everything we've seen from American police officers, and their utter disregard for human life, you still manage to find a way to justify them executing a child. Seriously, what the gently caress is wrong with you? From the GBS thread Weka posted:That's all largely true but this really looks like somebody about to do a stabbing. It's a still from just before she's shot if that's not something anyone wants to see. I'm not 'justifying executing a child' - I'm taking the fairly vanilla position that lethal force is justified if there is an imminent threat to someone's life. This is a pretty milquetoast take

The Lone Badger posted:In theory 'actively attempting to stab someone right at this exact moment' is pretty much the platonic ideal of a time when lethal force is justified. From the bodyworn this is exactly what this looks like!

I posted earlier that I agree that should be the goal - but when there isn't time, as in this instance, as the person was literally raising a knife and advancing towards someone trapped against a car?
