Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Chauvin arrest warrant

8:25:31 the video appears to show Mr. Floyd ceasing to breathe or speak. Lane said, “want to roll him on his side.” Kueng checked Mr. Floyd’s right wrist for a pulse and said, “I couldn’t find one.” None of the officers moved from their positions.

At 8:27:24, the defendant removed his knee from Mr. Floyd’s neck. An ambulance and emergency medical personnel arrived, the officers placed Mr. Floyd on a gurney, and the ambulance left the scene. Mr. Floyd was pronounced dead at Hennepin County Medical Center.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner (ME) conducted Mr. Floyd’s autopsy on May 26, 2020. The full report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.

Basically the dude had a panic attack, passed out and died from an underlying health condition. He was not strangled. Improper police restraint procedure per the conditions. If you read the full thing, they had the deceased in the back of the cruiser and dumbass cop dragged him out for some unspecified reason and took him to the ground. Once he was restrained and in the cruiser he should have stayed there IMO.

BINGO

What is Minnesota law on causation? Is it "but for" or "substantial factor"/ Anyone know? The autopsy does not appear to bear out that cause of death had anything to do with the knee in the neck.

The almost 2 minutes with a knee on his neck *after they found no pulse* might be a bit of a problem.

There is a typo on that arrest warrant. In the fourth paragraph in the statement of probable cause they use the name Lloyd instead of Floyd twice. A sharp lawyer is going to make an issue out of that.

I don't think there's a lawyer in MN that can catch it.

You two have never had to take somebody back out of a squad car?

Likely over charged on 3rd degree murder, especially given the preliminary autopsy report.

Don't understand how they can charge him with both murder & MS............seems like it should be one or the other.

He might get off completely based on the charges & the report.

Place'll really be torched then, but he won't go to trial for a year, at least.

MM

The internet super detective Kingston will catch it. He has a lot of experience trying cases in criminal court.


Kingston - Can Chauvin be successfully prosecuted for 3rd degree murder based on that report? What about the blood tests?

You mean they dont just stay there until their sentence is over?

They think he accidentally killed him on purpose.

Sometimes they have to be calmed down before you transport.

Sometimes people remind the guy that's driving that nobody did a thorough search.

Sometimes the guy transporting does not trust that the subject was searched thoroughly and insists on doing it himself. (A variation of never let another man load your gun for you)

Sometimes (if the dude is big and fast enough) the rodeo restarts when you attempt to buckle the seat belt.

Just some examples.

Yep, LOL

This is gonna explode when your average mo- mo protestor reads or hears of the wording of it.

Not what they wanta hear.
Charge wise
Possible COD wise

Even it was what they want it too be.
It would be explosive also.

No win either way.


They need ta up level of force on these protestors.
So far it has been basically zero......

Friday night.....
Not good......
Maybe the presence of the NG might help calm schit down.
They are getting thrown into a elevated schit storm due to local unwillingness for action at lower levels for several days.

Make the NG the bad guys is what I take out of it.....
JMO.....

I know as much as you do about why he was dragged back out of the car.

But hey it all turned out great. Minneapolis is on fire, and that place was a chithole to begin with. Plus the idiocy spread to other chitholes, hopefully they will burn too. I think they won't make it out to Slinger. Hopefully they make it out to Wauwatosa.

Should be pretty easy to mount a solid defense.

The problem will be finding 12 people in that state that don't have Down Syndrome.

I posited that question earlier. What if the autopsy shows no signs of trauma or any issues with the neck/pressure and that drugs contributed to the death? Does anyone here know how much pressure the officer was exerting on the subject's neck.
