I just watched this video on Rumble. There was nothing really surprising about it. I had long suspected the actual facts in the case, but had nothing other than a lot of experience dealing with budding criminals to know that there was a lot more to what was being told about George Floyd than what the media had said. It went a long way in clarifying the issue.

I heard about the video on a recent episode of the "Megyn Kelly Show" in which she interviewed the producer. Megyn said it was a must-see, and having watched it, I cannot but totally agree. The events that followed the death of Floyd are horrendous to witness, but the trial itself and the complete miscarriage of justice is even worse, because it has very likely destroyed a major American city.

The unbelievable corruption of the state and city governments of Minnesota and Minneapolis is appalling. But worst of all is the incredible injustice done to four fine police officers who were simply doing their job and the long-term effects that is going to have on police everywhere in this country.

Please take the time to watch the video, offered free on Rumble. Here is the link:

    Ricochet recognizes YouTube links and parses them so that the video will embed. Rumble hasn't been popular enough long enough, I guess.

    Check out Powerline. Minnesota lawyer blog that has been documenting the decline of that city for years. Only question is which city will hit the sewer first: Minneapolis, San Fran, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore or Chicago. My money is on San Fran. Fewer murders but more car breaks ins and poop on the street. Until Xi comes back.

    The fact that Floyd was complaining of being unable to breathe before he was on the ground combined with the traces of fentanyl in his system by itself constituted reasonable doubt. It was weird watching the trial, where the cop and his lawyer didn’t even look like they were trying to win. I think the cop realized that going to prison was a better option than what would have happened to him if he’d been acquitted. The image of him kneeling on Floyd was a priceless asset of the SJW movement at that point and they would have done anything to prevent it from being debunked and to avenge anyone who was successful in doing so.

    For sure he would have had to go into some kind of Witness Protection but under the circumstances he probably would have been exposed rather quickly.

    Casual progressives online are finally beginning to notice how bad the problem is, but they are in complete and utter denial over the causes of it all; they post comments about how horrible the situation is in response to news segments, and then respond with 'its due to the quarantine' or 'we didn't vote for this' every time conservatives explain the obvious. Sometimes they'll even concede that the (Democrat) politicians have failed them, but never that they failed precisely because they implemented the policies they campaigned on (Republicans should be so fortunate).
