Good Lord at the arguing here. This is really pretty simple: it is nothing more than the confluence of two idiots.
George Floyd was a flawed individual with rampant drug problems and a history of brushes with the law on, as far as I know, mostly minor stuff. Nothing I saw, have read or heard indicates he deserved to die that particular day and hour.
Derek Chauvin, was flawed individual who, for whatever reason, acted extremely foolishly and a man died. It is his fault because he inserted himself into a situation with a man who may very well have died of a heart attack or some other reason at the same time or later. Doesn't matter. Knees on the neck are not a known treatment for overdosing and he has a responsibility for public safety. Not an expert on Minnesota law, but it does seem he was charged correctly. The jury, the only 12 people in America who for the moment matter, decided that as well. Could be a judge, on appeal, decides there are issues at law regarding the current dumbass SPOTUS and Congressidiot Waters running their fool mouths or whatever and the conviction overturned, but that will be decided. He probably did not deserve to have his career and life completely ruined by doing something stupid, but he did do it and it's time to pay the piper.
Floyd led a life that put him at a greater probability of intersecting with a Derek Chauvin. It is called Darwinism and probabilities caught up with him. Kind of like always thinking one can beat the train through the intersection all the time. You may go through life and beat the train every time. But the train, although it really has no evil intent, will kill you. It may be running a bit fast, the conductor may be dozing and not paying attention to hit the brakes just enough to not kill. But trying to outrun a train is not a sound strategy for survival. Just as I do not try to outrun trains, I do not run around overdosing on drugs, passing fake bills, waving guns (or knives) at people: I'm avoiding the Derek Chauvin's of the world. And doing so, increases my probability of being able to see more college football seasons.
