Appeasement, Fear, and A Truth Not Told

 

The Communist oriented Black Lives Matter organization actually cares more about instituted a Marxist state in America than the race-baiting organization cares about the lives of Black Americans. It is my opinion the insidious incitement by BLM supporters against police when Black criminals die in the process of law enforcement can be observed by corrupt Court decisions bending to race-baiting. A Diane Sori analysis of the conviction of Derek Chauvin is a case in point.

Appeasement, Fear, and A Truth Not Told 

 

By Diane Sori

April 26, 2021

The Patriot Factor

 

Guilty as Charged

 It wasn't a verdict...it was a vendetta delivered to appease the always angry mobs of miscreants and thugs...a verdict rendered way too fast to have been carefully and with due diligence reached. Guilty on all three charges...second degree murder, third degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

 

And so, it's now one week since former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin has been tried and convicted both legally and in the “court of public opinion”...convicted based not upon true medical evidence per se, but based upon a video played for the jury over and over again. We all know well the video in question...the video showing Officer Chauvin's knee on media anointed saint George Floyd's neck...a video that those on the jury surely viewed many times during the past year as did we all...jury persons who had already found Chauvin guilty in their own minds even before being appointed to sit on said jury.

 

Chauvin Knee on Neck

And don't think for a minute that anyone on that jury hadn't seen the video beforehand as it was and still is being posted all over the internet...posted so many times that this one video has become so ingrained in our subconscious that common sense coupled with must needed impartiality of the legal kind be damned. And why common sense specifically...because to most law-abiding folks it seems pretty obvious that those on the jury were picked because they appeared to be easily swayed individuals who could be manipulated if need be... manipulated to fear the very real possibility of their being both the cause and the scapegoat for any riots that followed if the verdict rendered exonerated Chauvin in any way.

 

George Floyd autopsy (enlarged)

But why do I say this...because one key critical piece of evidence seems to have been completely and possibly deliberately ignored during the trial...as in the very fact that the Official Minneapolis Medical Examiner's Autopsy Report showed absolutely no...I repeat no... forensic evidence that George Floyd was asphyxiated by the placing of Derek Chauvin's knee upon his neck. Also included in the M.E. report was the lack thereof of petechine [sic – I think sori meant Petechiae - TheFreeDictionary.com definition and a Witchita.gov forensic description in strangulation] (pinpoint-sized red dots caused by broken blood vessels common with asphyxiation) and that there were no internal neck injuries of the "crushing" kind found, as in "life-threatening" injuries to Floyd's neck, head, spine, chest, brain, skull or injuries even remotely related to his larynx.

 

Simply, without said injuries present, common sense should once again dictate that while Officer Chauvin's knee was indeed on George Floyd's neck as shown in the video, it appeared not to be "crushing" or compressing into his neck but simply, for lack of a better word, "resting" there. And while that action itself can be considered a questionable action regarding the legalities of police procedures used, it in no way, in my humble opinion, even remotely relates to murder especially when the one being subdued was a career criminal, a convicted felon, a man caught in the act of committing yet another crime, a man so hopped up on drugs that it took numerous officers to subdue him. The actions of Officer Derek Chauvin regarding the knee was, if anything, a bad judgment call on his part, but not one that should equate to murder...manslaughter perhaps but not murder...for he in no way ever intended to kill George Floyd.

 

Lebron James Tweet 

And what so many forget is that police officers take an oath to “serve and protect,” and that they put their own lives on the line everyday to do so. They surely never know when a routine traffic stop might lead to their own death or when a drugged-out thug might turn on them next. And while too many say there's always some bad apples in the police bunch, I say those few bad apples are way outnumbered by those simply doing the very job they swore an oath to do. Think of it this way...do we white folks condemn all black folks for the actions of BLM miscreants and thugs or for the likes of disgraceful and cowardly sorts like LeBron James who last week tweeted and then took down that “YOU'RE NEXT” in reference to the white police officer who saved the life of a young black girl ready to be murdered by another young black girl, as in 16-year-old knife-wielding Ma'Khia Bryant? No we do not, and the Columbus, Ohio police officer who saved the young girl's life should be hailed as a hero, and LeBron James should not only be ashamed of himself and publicly apologize to the officer, but should be arrested for deliberate incitement of violence as well.

 

(Mad) Maxine Waters

 

Arrested for incitement as should 16-term California Rep. Maxine Waters, a woman solely driven and defined by the color of her skin. A thug in her own right who not too long ago claimed that “rioting is the voice of the unheard” when rioting is actually the voice of those who think they are owed everything simply because they are black, Maxine Waters embodies everything the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought hard against for the “content of her character” is as ugly as the sick sneer she always has on her face. A no longer closeted racist, Maxine Waters outward hatred of white people is on full display every time she opens her mouth to speak, for her ill-mannered vulgarities and hate filled vocal intonations against not just white folks but the police as well speak volumes while her black skin color now places her safely in the "dare we not condemn her" zone.

 

(Beijing-Dementia) Joe

 

And what exactly is this zone we, as white folks, dare not enter but a politically manufactured sector of sorts where no white person is allowed to speak nor even think ill of any persons of color. And if we do, we are not only deemed to be racists, but it gives misplaced credence and opportunity to both Democrat politicians and their media cohorts to continue perpetrating the lie that our beloved America is a systemically racist nation especially against those whose skin color is black, or as Joe Biden, the man who once said he did not want his own children to grow up in a "racial jungle" now says, is but a “stain on our nation’s soul.”

 

But I believe what is the true “stain on our nation's soul” is actually the not uniting together of both good black and white folks in a show of strength against these evil and vile sorts no matter the color of their skin.

 

BLM Inspired Rioters

 

And herein lies a good part of the problem, a problem that in reality only black folks themselves can solve, for the fact is that while the majority of black folks are truly decent, hardworking, family oriented folks...just like the vast majority of we white folks are...and they are folks we are happy to call “friend”...they continue to allow the voices and rhetoric of the likes of Rep. Maxine Waters, LeBron James, BLM's hierarchy, the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, and other assorted militant black groups and individuals...as in black leftist politicians including, sadly, a former president...to not only speak dangerous words of incitement but to take action into their own hands all in the name of the whole.

 

Remember, if one does not condemn one condones...if black folks themselves do not tell the black miscreants and thugs to stop speaking and acting up on behalf of said whole, then in their silence they are indeed condoning not only overtly racist words of hate, but overtly racist and ever so dangerous actions now coupled with vehemently anti-police rhetoric as well. And their cry of holding police officers accountable for acts of brutality are truly getting tiring indeed for more white officers are killed by black thugs than black thugs are killed by white officers. But these deaths we never hear of for the media themselves acquiesces both out of fear and unfortunately the ratings...a true monetary gain which black thug deaths garners for them as well.

 

BLM Inspired Violent Vandalism

 

Simply put, the miscreants and thugs are carrying out actions ordered and heralded by what are militant black separatists groups...groups who in no way strive for or even want equality between the two races...groups whose true want is total black domination over white folks...domination delegated and willingly accepted, it seems, courtesy of the always present fear that these same black groups will surely act up again if we dare not appease them. And know that these black militant minority groups actually now do control the entirety of what amounts to the politically designed and motivated race-baiting discourse, and they do so by their always hanging the threat of said violence, rioting, looting, arson, and mayhem over our heads if they dare not get their way.

 

Saint George Floyd Caricature

 

And not only do these vile militant black folks have the vast majority of America's black population silently complying out of fear...remember black on black crime is the curse good black folks face on a daily basis...but sadly that same fear now seems to have engulfed a good many white folks too. And this can easily be seen in the ever-growing multitude of spineless Republican politicians so afraid of being labeled a “racist” that they willingly cater and bend to the will of those who have no problem sacrificing, if you will, Police Officer Derek Chauvin to the angry miscreant mob calling for his blood. And they're doing so all in the name of the afore mentioned career criminal, convicted felon, and hard-core drug addict who had enough illegal substances in him on the day of his death to open up his own drug store, a man who will now and forever be known as media canonized Saint George Floyd...a martyr to all who claim they "can't breathe."

And all I can say is may heaven and an overturned verdict on appeal help save us all.

American Cities Explode

George Floyd’s murder by Derek Chauvin while three other Minneapolis police officers did zero is an act deserving of mass protests. HOWEVER Floyd’s murder is now being used as a pretext for Marxist Antifa to spur anarchy with senseless violence, rioting and looting. If the Dems don’t stop their ideological anarchists I have a suspicion Pro-2^nd Amendment property protecting will escalate. Justin Smith goes over some details that has struck this match inflaming America.

American Cities Explode

George Floyd's Murder and Chaos Across America

By Justin O. Smith

Sent 5/30/2020 12:51 AM

"It doesn't matter whether #GeorgeFloyd was an upstanding member of society. It doesn't matter whether blacks commit a disproportionate share of violent crimes. There is no excuse for the police to squeeze the life out of an unresisting individual. Period!"  ~ Dinesh D'Souza

No one finds justice served in the wake of any horrific, terrible tragedy, by burning their cities and towns down around them in the name of "peaceful protest". Justice is not served by ignoring the due process of the law for police officers who have abused their authority and power, in a manner that can only be described as evil, no matter how justified one might believe one's self to be in acting to mete out immediate, self-gratifying, vigilante justice. And justice absolutely was not served on Memorial Day, May 25th 2020, when a police officer ripped forty-six year old George Floyd, from the backseat of a police cruiser, and threw him to the ground and restrained him, with a known deadly hold, and pinned him by the neck until he was choked unconscious and died, as surrounding witnesses begged and pleaded for his life. 

Floyd was an ex-convict who served five years stemming from an aggravated assault conviction in 2007, but he was trying to turn his life around, as seen in an old video, where he urges the youth of America to reject gun violence. At one point, Floyd states: "Our young are clearly lost, man, clearly lost, man. I don't even know what to say anymore. You youngsters just going around bursting guns in crowds, kids getting killed." 

[Blog Editor – VIDEO: George Floyd before being killed, This is what he said 2 youth “Our young generation is clearly lost.”

Posted by Home250 news TV

May 28, 2020]

Floyd, 46, grew up in Houston, Texas, where he was known as a gifted athlete and hip-hop artist, according to the Houston Chronicle, and he was well known by the patrons of Conga Latin Bistro, where he worked security. As Luz Maria Gonzalez notes, "He'd keep us safe there". On Tuesday, the restaurant shared a photo of Floyd in his blue security uniform, with the caption, "We'll always remember you". 

George Floyd was a "gentle giant" and helpful man by all accounts, and sadly, the taking of his life, has left a little six year old girl without her father.

Floyd's death came, after he supposedly "resisted" officers and was placed in handcuffs. But subsequent evidence has shown that he was not resisting or being violent, and he was not armed. He was first approached, around 8:00 pm, by four Minneapolis police officers -- Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J. Alexander Kueng -- who answered a call to investigate a possible forgery attempt and a counterfeit $20 dollar bill. What followed, at least in part, was captured in a video, that has exploded across social media sites, made by a young woman, Darnella Frazier, who was standing nearby outside the Cup Foods Market.

4 Murdering Minneapolis Cops (from Heavy.com)

[Blog Editor: Andrew McCarthy of the National Review (5/30/20 4:07 PM) adds some info to Mr. Floyd’s death that cannot be deciphered from video footage. The extra info does not help murderous cops but does add context to the whole idiocy.]

There on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue South, Officer Derek Chauvin is seen pressing his knee into George Floyd's neck for nine long minutes, with Floyd's face pressed so hard into the pavement his nose begins bleeding. And Floyd tearfully pleads with Chauvin: "Please, please, please, I can't breathe. Please, man."

"You got him down, man! Let him breathe at least" said one bystander in the background.

Someone asks, "You're going to just sit there with your knee on his neck?"

One alarmed citizen exclaims, "Bro, he's not even f###ing moving! Get off his neck!" 

Another asks, "Did you kill him?"

Floyd told the officers he could not breathe twelve times, including within the first few seconds of the video. Floyd said, "I'm about to die ... they're gonna kill me", and called out for his mother. Approximately four minutes into the video, he lost consciousness, stopped breathing and his body went limp. Forty seconds later witnesses were screaming that he was unresponsive. At least sixteen times bystanders begged the officers to take Floyd's pulse. And all they received in return was a hard, cold, depraved indifference to a man's life draining out beneath them. 

Each time a concerned individual attempted to get Officer Tou Thao to check Floyd's vitals or to stop Chauvin from choking him any further, Thao would become aggressive and combative and simply turn away from their pleas, exhibiting the same depraved indifference to a man's life being snuffed out there on the pavement. Thao has previously had police brutality charges leveled against him, in 2017; the case settled out of court to the tune of $25,000.

Ms. Frazier told the Washington Post: "The police killed him, bro, right in front of everybody. He was crying, telling them like, 'I can't breathe', and everything. ... They killed this man."

On Wednesday, May 27th, Bridgett Floyd, sister to George, said: "I would like for those officers to be charged with murder because that's exactly what they did. They murdered my brother. He was crying for help."

Representing the Floyd Family, Attorney Ben Crump observed: "It's a 'I can't breathe' again case in 2020, and it's worse than Eric Garner in many ways because you hear the people even pleading with them, 'Please get your knee off his neck. Have some humanity. This is a human being.'"

I have very nearly stated the exact words as Angela Stanton-King, Alveda King's goddaughter, who tweeted: "Why didn't someone stop George Floyd's death? They should have fought at that pivotal moment. Instead of just standing there watching." That was the time they should have been raising unholy hell, not a day later, not two and three days later and not against their own community.

Addressing the use of the knee on a suspect's neck, Mylan Masson, a former Minneapolis police officer in charge of training, noted that once the officer has the individual under control, the hold is to be released. It is used until the threat has stopped. Floyd represented no threat whatsoever to anyone, as he lay prone on the ground in cuffs. 

According to the Star-Tribune, George Kirkham, professor emeritus at the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida State University, said that placing the knee on a suspects neck is seldom taught in police academies anymore. The move has been acknowledged as risky and capable of causing brain death in a matter of a few minutes. 

Water boils at 212 degrees, and in the aftermath of what can only be described as a callous and indifferent murder of George Floyd, Minneapolis and St Paul are exploding and burning at 1500 degrees in a violent response and riots across the area, as protests elsewhere in America unfold, from Minneapolis to Memphis, Los Angeles to Louisville, and Denver to Atlanta, even seeing barricades breached near the White House. Somewhere shortly before 9:00 CST, on May 29th, the 88th Precinct in New York came under attack by protesters, with police cruisers destroyed and multiple fires set, as reported by Bernie Kerik, former New York City Police Commissioner, to Fox News.

And, in fact, one of the four police officers, Derek Chauvin, was just arrested today, May 29th, and charged with third-degree murder/manslaughter, but shortly afterwards, Judge Andrew Napolitano told Fox News that there was enough evidence seen through a horrendous, gut-wrenching, soul-searing video to warrant a charge of second degree murder.

Ms. Stanton-King expressed her outrage, stating: "Choke a man to death with Your knee which we all know was intentional and you don't get charged with 1st degree murder ... How do he slide with just a manslaughter charge and 3rd degree murder?"

By Wednesday night, the situation had devolved to the point that Governor Tim Waltz and Mayor Jacob Frey called out the Minnesota National Guard to halt the violence that started around the 3rd Precinct Police Station, as protesters set fires and caused some massive damage to every business within a two block radius, according to CBS Minnesota. The 3rd Precinct had to be abandoned by the police and was soon overrun and completely destroyed by an angry mob.

More than one-hundred seventy businesses were also damaged and looted in the St Paul and "Twin Cities" area on Thursday, as the protests escalated. According to the Pioneer Press, numerous fires were set by large crowds across the city, and St Paul's Mayor Melvin Carter noted that "the anger, the anguish, the sadness, the rage that we're seeing in the community, it's understandable."

Disgusting and disturbing doesn't even begin to describe what is occurring, as the left-wing interlopers of Antifa, anti-American fascists, are seen urging the destruction further, and young blacks are destroying their own neighborhoods and the very businesses owned and operated by their fellow black minority brethren and other minorities too.

One surely must wonder where was a similar outrage and calls to allow due process to take its course, and where were the riots, when Minneapolis Police Officer Mohammed Noor murdered Justine Damond. It's hard not to miss the incongruity and hypocrisy of the views of the protesters, rioters and their apologists; and, with that said, the video evidence in the Floyd case is so damning that Chauvin's arrest within four days’ time was one-hundred percent the right call, however, the charge may need to be revisited as all the evidence unfolds in the coming days.

Floyd's family released a public call for an end to the violence, while also thanking all those who have actually been protesting peacefully. Speaking to the unrest, Courteney Ross, George's girlfriend of three years, said, "I am heartbroken."

Ross continued as she spoke with the Star Tribune: "Waking up this morning to see Minneapolis on fire would be something that would devastate Floyd. He loved the city. He came here [from Houston] and stayed here for the people and the opportunities. ... He was about love and peace. ... I want people to protest in a peaceful way."

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman is pursuing the murder charge against Chauvin and investigating deeper to see what charges might be forthcoming in regards to the other officers, who seemed to exhibit a disturbing and marked indifference to what was transpiring right in front of them. President Trump and Attorney General William Barr are also actively monitoring the case, and U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald and FBI Special Agent in Charge Rainer Drolshagen will be conducting the federal investigation. And, in the meantime, as of May 28th, Freeman has acknowledged that all four officers involved in Floyd's murder are not cooperating with the investigation and are pleading their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. 

Now, newly released reports, by Anna Lastra and Eric Rasmussen, indicate that there exists a high probability that Chauvin, who has had 18 complaints of police abuse placed against him during his nineteen year career, knew Floyd from the El Nuevo Rodeo Nightclub, where they both had previously worked security for Maya Santamaria. According to Santamaria, Chauvin worked there for 17 years, as outside security, while Floyd worked as inside security. This certainly should be raising some eyebrows and demanding an intense bit of scrutiny and deeper investigation. 

Some have suggested that we need to know what happened in the hour before the video was made, but it doesn't really matter. Even if Floyd had allegedly committed a bank robbery or a murder in that time frame, police all across the nation take down and capture violent murderers every day without killing them in the process.

Yes, most police officers are outstanding, good and decent and honorable men and women, and they normally have a rough job and are asked to do unimaginably tough things, as they carry out their duty to "protect and serve" the community, that has hired them and where they usually also live. That same duty also extends to suspects, especially suspects in non-violent crimes, and especially when a suspect is cooperating and not resisting, as was the case with George Floyd. Their duty demands that they subdue and arrest suspects, in such a case, without taking the person's life in the process. 

Tragic as this case is, it still is not a free license to loot and destroy, simply because people are angry, and not one single criminal looter should be given a pass from any misplaced sense of justice, to assuage the outrage that may be genuinely felt by many, since many other outraged citizens have, in fact, expressed themselves angrily, loudly and peacefully. 

At the same time, these police officers who set themselves up as judge, jury and executioners of George Floyd must pay for their gross negligence, their lack of professionalism and compassion, and their inexcusable depraved indifference to the distress Floyd's mind and body experienced, as he knew his death was imminent. Not only did they prevent a female EMT from trying to save Floyd's life, but for nearly 5 long minutes after warnings from witnesses, Chauvin kept his knee pressed on his windpipe, as all the officers knew Floyd was unconscious, was not breathing and that his body had gone limp. If the witnesses could so readily see that Floyd was dying, the officers had to have also known as well, and yet, they denied him oxygen, never attempted CPR, never took his pulse and never tried to save his life. The level of inhumane treatment in this case that took George Floyd's life demands criminal charges for the other officers involved and prosecutions that end with hefty prison sentences for all four officers. 

These officers failed to live up to anything remotely associated with simply being a good human being. Any further revelations will not change the simple truth, that with just a little more care and a sense of urgency and some common sense, one check of Floyd's vitals at the first sign of distress, George Floyd would still be alive. Even sadder, it seems the price of a man's life today sets at twenty dollars.
