The case is against a police officer, not George Floyd

This is a case against Derek Schwein, not George Floyd, despite what Schwein's defense team forces you to think. It is important to keep in mind that before we go into the courtroom today (Monday, March 29) try to understand.

Preliminary statements on the first day of this crucial trial give a clear indication of what kind of action we can expect. The prosecution provided convincing arguments with video evidence. Schwein's defense attorneys, on the other hand, tried to make it all happen because of Floyd. In other words, what we saw was an autopsy by a black man at the hands of the police.

The prosecution pursued the case at the outset of the proceedings, saying that what Schwein did was not only unjust but that the use of force was the cause of Floyd's death. Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell said in a statement that Floyd's death was the result of a lack of oxygen and not a large number of drugs. Prosecutors then played a nine-minute video of Floyd's death. It's never easy to see.

According to Laura Coates, senior legal analyst at CNN, the prosecution does not need to prove that Schwinn's actions were not the only cause of Floyd's death, but that they were a "general factor."

There are two different postmortems to prove that it was a murder, but one postmortem gives the exact cause of death differently. That was the difference between the two.

In an opening statement, Schwen's defense attorney, Eric Nelson, outlined a defense strategy that Fox News viewers have known for months. Defense attorneys tried to focus on George Floyd's alleged drug use and behavior before his assassination. When the prosecution told the jury to "believe in their own eyes," the defense tried to get the jury to dismiss them. Especially in an eye-opening moment, Nelson said, "there is no evidence that Mr Floyd's breathing was restricted." Our eyes, ears and reasoning ability are not ready to acknowledge this.

The defense team then abruptly turned the matter over to the unfortunate area, during which it attempted to shift the partial charge of Floyd's death to passersby trying to intervene. Nelson's position was that Schwinn felt threatened by the crowd, which had begun to gather on his knees, and that officials could not even take care of Floyd.

The video contradicts this. Passers-by apparently shouted at Schwein when Floyd asked for his life, to get his knee off his neck and give him proper help. Schwinn looked at the crowd, apparently acknowledging their concerns when they asked him to get up, but he rested his knees on Floyd's neck. In fact, Schwinn continued to kneel on the Floyd despite repeated pleas from a passerby, who identified himself as a firefighter, to check Floyd's pulse. Continued

A 911 officer was called in to testify as the first witness, who sent a sergeant to the scene because he was concerned about Schwein's continued kneeling on the floor. In other words, he called the police for the police. It gives you some idea of ​​what was going on there.

Everyone was aware of the defense we saw. We (Florida police officers) have seen attempts to convict Trevon Martin during the trial of George Zimmerman. We've seen it happen with Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ahmed Arberry, and the list goes on. I can only write a full article based on the names of black people who have seen their character questioned after being subjected to racist violence.

And the point here is that even if what the worst right-wing pundits say is true, it doesn't matter. Being a bad character doesn't mean he has to be killed. No feature deprives an individual of the right to life and fair litigation. No action by George Floyd or any other unarmed black person justifies his extrajudicial killing. Nothing.

Derek Schwein faces three charges: involuntary manslaughter, murder and manslaughter. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Black people are tired of being found guilty until proven guilty.
