Excellent George Parry interview on the death of George Floyd — 9 Comments
Thanks for posting this. I had heard about the autopsy, but this is the first time I’ve heard a reasoned critique of the decision to charge them with murder. Obviously the prosecutors decided on murder charges for political reasons, rather than the evidence.
In a liberal era, speaking facts to truth is a novel conception, indeed.
To paraphrase Floyd: No semantic games, no em-pathetic appeals, no diversity dogma, no witch hunts and warlock judgments, too. Progressives, leave the People and our Posterity alone.
It is interesting that this interview aired on WCCO radio. This is the most powerful station in the region. It used to be the station one went to for urgent information. It does not have the cachet it once did, but it is still influential. It has also been increasingly woke, but less so than the TV station.
Of course none of the rioters or looters would listen to an AM news station.
The legal system in this country is simply demonstrating that it is corrupt and dishonest. For instance, the General Flynn prosecution.
Funny thing, in the early hours of reporting that incident, the media showed the footage of trying to get Mr. Floyd into the car. He was saying repeatedly he could not breathe. As I only saw that clip once, I may have some false memories. I also remember there was a mention of excited delirium, for which the police were trained to subdue the person and to keep them restrained so as not to be a danger to themselves. As I said, I only saw the clip once before all hell broke loose. My memory may be a bit fuzzy.
I also remember there was the case of dueling autopsies. The family brought in an independent pathologist, the same person who declared the Jeffrey Epstein death a suicide. I also remember that the Minn. Coroners Office stated that Mr. Floyd did not die from a restricted airway, and the hyoid bone was intact. The independent concluded death by a restricted airway, even though the hyoid bone was intact. I remember hearing about that autopsy for a couple days after, and then that independent report just went away.
When this project goes to full distribution, there will be more riots. When charges against all the police officers involved are either dropped, or they are found not guilty in court, we will endure yet another round of riots.
Will there be anything left to burn?
In-activist, there is a second report prepared by pathologists paid for by the lawyer for the Floyd family. But they didn’t actually examine the body, only drew conclusions based on work done by the ME. They don’t have any actual physical evidence to back up their differing claims.
Of course, all anyone saw for the first few days was the citizen video of one officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck. Then, the surveillance video show some of Floyd’s crazy behavior prior to being put in the police car, but the video doesn’t show the nearly ten minutes when the cops were trying to put Floyd in the car.
Finally, we got to see the police body cams. Initially one could only see them at the Government Center on a specific computer. Then someone made videos of the videos, and finally the Attorney General released them.
Here’s the politics: the boy mayor and police chief fired the officers in a vain attempt to head off riots. That failed. Then, the Hennepin County Attorney announced quick charges including 3rd Degree murder on Chauvin (Minnesota has a peculiarity in law known as depraved indifference which can make nonmurder murder). Finally, the governor took the case from the county attorney and gave it to the state attorney general. That’s Keith Ellison, notorious for defending cop killers 20 years ago. Ellison bumped up the charges on Chauvin to 2nd degree murder and “aiding and abetting murder” to the other three.
Ellison is not a smart lawyer. He’s a political activist. And he doesn’t care how the case comes out. He won’t try it himself, so he can point fingers of blame in all directions when they cops are acquitted. If there are more riots, well, that’s not his problem. He’ll just blame white supremacists and Trump.
Defense lawyers will get the heavier charges dismissed either by the trial judge or on appeal. There is more than enough clear video and sound, and the ME report, to show that the cops were more than gentle with Floyd, and their procedures were straight out of the manual. Oh, and that knee on the neck? It will be shown, very clearly, in court that the knee only prevents Floyd from getting up. There’s no downward pressure. Chauvin’s weight is on his feet, not the knee. The MPD manual demonstrates it exactly as performed on Floyd.
It is like Idol worship. And sacrifice of humans too.

It’s not an easy technique to use, as with all body weight pressure techniques. That means you can feel no resistance at all, and that is precisely because the leverage force is crushing downwards that the person using it, feels no resistance or problem.
Thus for internal body weight techniques, when it works and when it does not need to work, is a rather thin line.
The use of a knew on a neck of an already handcuffed guy on the ground looks like brutality.
The appearance of brutality is worse than actual brutality that is not shown, or invisible.
Riots are based on the appearances.
