(29,225 posts)Didnt even look at the guy or react to his pleas at all. He just wanted to stay perched there on his neck, making a statement. Indifferent and even feeling good about the cruelty.
Have to wonder if he did it to be noticed by trump, knowing itd be big news. Was he posing for the camera?!

And convicted.
And sent to a prison that has a large Afro-American population.
And that he doesn't last long.

(6,231 posts)he'll just spend years in protective custody and getting appeal after appeal all at taxpayers' expense. If he gets tossed in the general population, he's got two strikes against him: he's a cop and he killed an Afro-American.

(1,351 posts)There is another picture that shows the cop who murdered George Floyd and the cop in the photo of the Trump rally side by side and there are some differences that would indicate these are 2 different people. The ears are totally different, for example. The cop kneeling has ears very close to his head whereas the ears of the cop at the trump rally stick out on top. So though very similar in appearance they arelikely two different people.

(1,351 posts)Here's an article on the 2 cops caught on video. The cop kneeling is Derek Chauvin and the other cop is Tou Thao. Tou Thao has had an excessive force charge brought up against him before and it was settled out of court for $25K.
There is a close up of Derek Chavin and he's definitely not the same guy as the one shown at the Trump rally. Still a slimeball, just a different one.
