GEORGE FLOYD IS DEAD BUT SPEAKS LOUDLY TO POLICE
Derek Michael Chauvin is an American former police officer undergoing a trial on murder charges in the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25, 2020. Wikipedia
Misconduct complaints
Chauvin had 18 complaints on his official record, two of which ended in discipline, including official letters of reprimand.[20] He had been involved in three police shootings, one of which was fatal.[17][21][22][23] According to the former owner of El Nuevo Rodeo, a Latin nightclub, Chauvin had worked there off duty as security while George Floyd was also working as security, but was not certain whether they knew each other.[24][25]
The owner has been critical of Chauvin since his arrest, describing Chauvin's tactics as "overkill" and saying "Chauvin was unnecessarily aggressive on nights when the club had a black clientele, quelling fights by dousing the crowd with pepper spray and calling in several police squad cars as backup".[16]
The owner also said Chauvin responded to fights by spraying the crowd with mace instead of dealing with those who were fighting.
It is likely that Chauvin was another angry and ignorant cop who liked using his power whenever he could to abuse people. He was turned on by authority and control like many other policemen who belong in jail instead of roaming around loose endangering people just because they like to.
I believe that Chauvin is a miserable, sadistic, low life who should never have even been put on the police force.
He is just like so many other cops out there who are like Chauvin but luckily for them they do not get exposed.
My big question is why does the defense not put Chauvin on the stand to testify for himself? Even if the defense attorneys believe that Chauvin would come off to the jury worse than he has already been made out to be so be it.
I do not think his sentence if he is convicted would change very much.
What does he have to lose?
The jury has listened to testimony and seen evidence that portrays Chauvin as an inhumane creature who has no use for honest, ethical police work and victims.
He appears to be just the animal we have seen who casually sat on George Floyds neck for over nine minutes killing him by blocking his oxygen. Seems like he is a bad guy.
I have not seen one display of emotion from Chauvins body movements or facial rxpressions that indicates he is anymore than the savage he has been presented to be.
However, if Chauvin has any redeeming qualities that might impress the one juror he needs who may rescue him from a unanimous guilty verdict carrying a long sentence then they should let Chauvin testify no matter how terrible of a witness he is.
It does not seem he coud destroy himself anymore then the evidence against him already has. It seems that he has no possible way to get any sympathy from the jury without talking.
If he can speak and represent himself as a human being with emotions and felings that may help him.
If not, it seems that he will not get much more time in jail then he will get by not testifying.
I despise this cop and every other vicious cop out there. They are worse then those they arrest because they get to break the law legally with a badge and gun.
But, I am fascinated with stories like this.
I would like to hear Derek Chauvin tell the court why he killed George Floyd and whatever else he wants to say to possibly save his soul.
It is no closure for anyone if Chauvin does not testify.
