Chauvin plead the 5th. Why is this still posted?
Nelson you picked this guy to testify. This heartless being trying to give cavedin chavin the ok for abusive force. Trying to blame the crowd. The crowd was concerned Floyd can't breath, no resistance cuz he expired idiots .
Who ever taught Chavin hate from a young child needs to be on trial. When one teaches one hate, this is what happens. When one teaches one hate it is the worse child abuse on this earth. You are destroying those kids soul which you did not give to to them,not allowing them to know what it feels like to love other humans regardless of race creed or color. Stop teaching your kids hate and try love.
The fact the chair for someone, anyone, even chauvin's fellow police officers to be there on chauvin's behalf remains EMPTY…speaks loudly of who derek chauvin is. I hope wish he would take the stand to defend the accusation against him…I know…I know that's a wish that won't come to light.
Without any blood work the cops figured he was on drugs. Once he established many times he couldn't comply with orders they called EMS and restraining him was protocol. Restaining him after he lost consciousness was the mistake. His fear of going back to prison mixed with drugs is what killed him.
The best thing for that ass to do is sit there quietly. There is nothing he can say to defend his actions. He killed the man with premeditation. How can he explain why he did that?
Chauvin has 17 criminal violent complaints on him , some were choking complaints . he has a violent history . Think about how many people have 17 criminal complaints on them and are not in prison . But this cop has them . This shows a violent pattern from Chauvin .
FREE DEREK
For the defense to stake their case on the presence of drugs is a loser, for the simple reason that Chauvin had his knee of Floyd's neck for 9+ minutes. Any coroner will tell you that in that circumstance, the principle cause of death was asphyxiation, and the conributing cause may have been drugs, but it was not the main cause.
What Chauvin did wrong was a failure of a “Duty to Protect.†Then when bystanders said he wasn’t breathing, refused to check on Floyd. Totally ignored it! Then a paramedic bystander told them he was not breathing and offered to help, but was denied. Then when paramedics arrived. Remained on Floyd’s neck(possibly shoulder(some saw this shift)., after he had not been breathing for several minutes.. Multiple failures of a
“Duty to Protect.†All at critical junctures and when a off duty paramedic had offered to start care!! These failures to act resulted in death. This is murder by Chauvin!
I am surprised how civilized this trial is going, are they not allowing public inside?
Bring the coroner in. Wrap this up and put chauvin in general population in prison, where he fits in with violent offenders. Maybe they will give him a taste of his own medicine.
Perfect, put Chauvin on the stand so that the whole world can see his cold and calculating attitude. His testimony should be enough to convict him of murder.
The street police in the USA have been wantonly, willfully, and brutally killing Black people for decades.
The lies of the police ( which they laughingly refer to as testi-lying) are always taken as being the “absolute truth. “
Cell phone video cameras have finally moved the scale, ever so slightly, towards justice.
Unhappily, the crimes against humanity of U. S. governmental agencies are even darker than the slow-kill wanton extermination of their Black population through murder and impure drinking water etc. … For example George Floyd and the city of Flint
In actuality, the American police are doing on a micro level that which the CIA/DoD are doing on a macro level.
Allow me to illustrate this example through a fairly recent event.
Please recall the threat which Ms. Susan Rice, the former National Security Advisor under President Barrack Hussein Obama , made to Snoop Dogg. (Ms Rice is also amongst the first chosen for Biden’s Cabinet. )
‘Snoop, back the ** off. You come for @ Gale King, you come against an army. You will lose and it won’t be pretty.’
Ms. Rice was in the world’s face, speaking LITERALLY and not figuratively!
Allow me to elaborate.
The USA has well
over 800 (eight hundred) military bases!
Over FIVE HUNDRED of these bases are located OUTSIDE of the USA (Even in Africa … AFRICA?!?!?)
Everywhere these military bases are located, reports arise of 5G electromagnetic torture.ÂÂ
EVERYWHERE!ÂÂ
From Japan to Thailand, from England to the USA, the precise same reports of 5G EM torture .
In case you are unaware that 5G electromagnetic weaponry exists, search under ADS (Active Denial System). You will find an ancient government video which shows a tank which shoots 5G electromagnetic radiation. (If this site has been scrubbed, you can still find videos of this equipment on mainstream media outlets. )
The official government video denies that handheld versions of this electromagnetic technology exists.ÂÂ
Absolutely False!
Handheld 5G EM weaponry has existed for, at least, three decades.ÂÂ
There is even a miniature version small enough to fit into a man’s front trouser pocket and still leave room for his hand inside the same pocket.ÂÂ
The power and range of this miniature gun can cause heart arrhythmia in the Target, and , consequently, death is a possibility.ÂÂ
This method is used to publicly execute a Target and have the death appear to be from medical causes rather than a CIA/DoD hit.
(Another rather ingenious assassination technique which has been developed by the CIA/DoD is food suffocation.
The food or drink of the Target is contaminated using a biological/chemical agent.
Upon consuming the slightest little bit of this contaminating agent, the Target’s throat immediately tightly swells up. The food is trapped in the throat’s passageway not allowing the victim to breathe and leading to suffocation.
The offending biological agent disappears from the victim’s system within minutes.
Once again, We see a gendre of assassination which gives the false impression that the victim was not murdered, but rather died due to an unhappy set of circumstances.
As an aside, the CIA scientists perfected (by the 1960’s)an extremely virulent cancer which is many times(but not solely used to produce throat cancer. All biological and chemical assassination methods are perfected using real, live, none volunteer subjects. )
For information on CIA latest weaponry read Project Soul Catcher by Scientist Robert Duncan (who also wrote , “How to Tame a Demon,†a book exposing the CIA/DoD program of Targeting and experimentation upon innocent Americans).
To go forward, I must now go back a bit.ÂÂ
Some of you may recall the disinformation apology of President Bill Clinton for the CIA/DoD developed Project MK-Ultra. (This apology is on YouTube. )
In his apology, President Clinton greatly diminished the level of the human rights abuses, as well as the intensity and horror, of the torture conducted by the CIA/DoD in Project MK-Ultra.
Nor did he mention that routine killing of the victims, once they were deemed to be “unnecessary, “was “normal. “
Additionally, Clinton failed to mention that these CIA/DoD developed projects were heavily reliant upon SRA (satanic ritual abuse) to achieve their trauma based mind control objective.
(See the YouTube channel of Fiona Barnett, an SRA survivor, who was sexually farmed out to President Nixon and the Rev. Billy Graham as a child. She now receives a pitance in compensation from the Australian government.
(NATO aligned Intelligence Services co- operate in these CIA/DoD projects. ))
Clinton also neglected to mention that the sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and children is another integral part of these trauma based mind control projects.ÂÂ
(See the book,†The Trance Formation of America,†by Cathy O’Brian.ÂÂ
Ms. O’Brian is an MK-Ultra survivor (as is her child who was also sexually trafficked). )
President Clinton solemnly promised that Project MK-Ultra would be terminated.
He lied.
Project MK Ultra was, in fact, RENAMED and EXPANDED.ÂÂ
One offshoot of this renaming and expansion is the Targeted Individuals Program.ÂÂ
(For more information on Project MK-Ultra, research “The Black Vault. “ )
Ms. S. Rice was, therefore, in front of the world, in plain sight, threatening ‪Snoop Dogg‬ with being placed in this Targeted Individuals Program.
A few of the elements of the CIA/DoD Slow-Kill Targeted Individuals Program are:
 1. Being gunned, 24/7, with the handheld version of 5G EM torture guns.
2. Being used as a human laboratory test animals for biological and chemical weaponry (Like the two assassination methods mentioned above. )
3. Being bombarded with high frequencies which destroys the hearing and damages the brain (check the back of the left eat, near the jaw bone, beneath the ear lobe for something which feels like a lump of dry skin , that may be a chip)
4. Having none-stop subliminal messages pumped into one’s living quarters.
5. Being none stop subjected to extreme psychological and emotional trauma (in addition to receiving long distance shocks and EM gunning)
6. Having your pets (and sometimes loved ones killed)
7. Being asset stripped ( not just your money and jewelry, but everything, job, reputation, clothing, photographs, personal telephone books, e- mail accounts, e-mail contacts, identification,University documentation ..EVERY-THING)
8. During the constant home invasions, your food and water is contaminated to facilitate the shocks, and EM torture which they administer. (The contaminant is probably lithium which is odorless and tasteless, and is an excellent conductor of electricity. The USA’s two decades long war in Afghanistan is not because of terrorism , but rather to obtain their lithium and other minerals.)
9. Having your body contaminated with worms which were meant to feed on dead bodies, but which have been genetically modified by the Intelligence Agency’s scientists to feed on those still alive. (See photos on Youtube of two Chinese doctors who helped to expose the Covid 19 virus and, as a result, were punished with being infested with these worms by Chinese Intelligence. The telltale sign of this infestation is the blackened facial skin. These two Chinese doctors now appear to be be two Black men. )
10. Being chipped like an animal. (If a Targeted Individual, or whistleblower, reads this comment and is aware of why miniature drones,which were the size of bees in 2008, are sometimes used to hover over Targeted Individuals, notwithstanding the chipping please contact me.)
11. Being subjected to V2K … 24/7.
12. Being gangstalked
If you wish to research gangstalking and Targeted Individuals on YouTube, please note that the CIA/DoD have taken the precaution of scrubbing most pertinent videos and  placing VICE and other disinformation videos in amongst those of the few remaining real videos produced by Targeted Individuals.
13. Having your living quarters sprayed with contaminated “smart dust†and mold
For the daily life of a victim, there is the video of Myron May.ÂÂ
May was painted by the CIA/DoD, and, consequently, the media as insane. Nonetheless , his video shows us something quite different.
Watch his video.ÂÂ
HE is SANE. (To see his video go to YouTube search. Type in Targeted Individual Myron May. Go down to post by memory hole blog, James Lico, Dabbin Good and others. … many are working to keep the memory, and sacrifice, of Myron May alive.

TRUMP TOLD POLICE OFFICERS "NOT TO BE NICE" AND Chauvin followed his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noCx808TvZU&ab_channel=CBSEveningNewsorders………………………….
If he get on the stand the state gone chew him up
The chemical beetle spatially contain because ladybug pathogenetically detect via a sore slime. physical, fortunate cocoa
The nervous british occasionally reign because son coincidently print round a jumpy rabbit. long-term, thankful curler
Want to ask him one question…hope he gives an honest answer……did he do that out of racial hatred intentionally to hurt or kill him …….or did that for he was doing his police duty ……..🤢🤢🤢
In July of 2017 Donald Trump said that police should stop being protective of criminal suspects. You might remember that the then President basically said that it was OK to slam a suspect's head against the door frame of a police cruiser. This is sheer reckless vindictiveness and goes against the policy of most police departments that a criminal suspect is in the "care" of police – and the police have a professional and moral responsibility to be aware of a suspect's health. Words continue to matter. Trump liked to consider himself to be the top law enforcement officer in the nation. He was not. He was a self serving politician who tried to gain political points by endangering both American citizens and the police who are sworn to protect them.
I’m not familiar with courts and stuff. Will Derek ever save questioned by the prosecutor?
They trying their best to cover it up the only thing they know is that the whole world saw what they did ain't no I'm no good
If he’s innocent he’ll take the stand. Nothing to hide right?
My dude, Brian. You need to seriously change your barber. WTF kind of hair style is that?
If Chauvin testifies, he will sink himself further.
I am sorry but there was not blood going to the brain, the oxigen is in the blood, anyone could day if there is not blood in the brain.
If he doesn’t take the stand he will look guilty. He needs to tell us what was going through his head and how he preserved things at the time. I think he could gain some sort of mercy by saying he misjudged the situation and that GF resistance to get in the car mad him believe it was just another ploy to avoid arrest. He needs to explain himself and I want to hear from the other officers who were there at the time also.
He should stay off the stand because it’s no reason for his actions
What about Tony Timpa? He was a drug user, died from OD, 13 minutes long/kneeling. No one cares bc he is a white guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-E_i8Q5G0
He better take the stand.
Speaking for himself is the ONLY thing that could sway the jury to minimize the sentence.
They all know he did it.
Cops are Never held accountable. Shameful…..
Crocodile tears will flow.
