The videos, from Sept. 4, 2017, allegedly showed Chauvin striking a Black teenager in the head so hard that the boy needed stitches, then allegedly holding the boy down with his knee for nearly 17 minutes, and allegedly ignoring complaints from the boy that he couldn’t breathe.

“Those videos show a far more violent and forceful treatment of this child than Chauvin describes in his report [of the incident],” Matthew Frank, one of the state prosecutors, wrote in a court filing at the time.

What the fuck is it with these idiots and applying pressure to the neck? Like Christ, there are better ways to restrain someone.

So...should we expect people to defend him, saying that he'd done worse to other black people and they didn't die before?

I guess you could say that if his go to thing was to knee everyone who looked at him funny and nobody died before he thought it was non-lethal? I guess it goes to his state of mind.

Dude, one happened only 2 days ago

They've learnt nothing. They especially haven't learnt that if someone feels like they are dying, they will fight for dear life. Asking the restrained person to calm down is literally impossible to comply with. Stop asking them to calm down because you're killing them

These fools better learn something if they don't want to lose their jobs and be thrown in jail. Or better yet, hire people to actually care about their job and not just in it for a power ego trip. Or thanks that making the situation aggressive to a non-aggressive citizen as the answer to everything.

They've learnt that they'll probably not face repercussions for doing it.

Too true.
