Timcast IRL - Derek Chauvin Trial DELAYED As DA Wants Another Murder Charge w/ Clifton Duncan

It's not just about Chauvin defending himself, at least not using that term. A better term would be that he was protecting his personal health and safety. He was over zealous with it, but he has the right to prevent bodily fluids from being flung at him after the suspect has demonstrated that they clearly are on a controlled substance. He doesn't do toxicology on the spot, and must just react. George Floyd escalated the situation, claiming to be claustrophobic, yet he was just getting ready to drive a vehicle and possibly kill a family. For all the people who think they can make a better decision in the heat of the moment, there are ride along programs that you can partake in, and see what it is like. If around an area like skid row, you will come upon a ton of opioid related drug calls. After riding along, you might understand why cops have one of if not thee highest suicide rates for any job other than military Veterans. Police work is a microcosm of the failures of government. The people acquiesce to give all their power up for goods and services, then complain and not do shit about it after the fact. The police are just the poor bastard children that have to deal with all the aftermath and take the blame. It is easy to become a jaded cop after working for just a short time. So, any lazy fuck who has the balls to complain or sit back an analyze videos after the fact, should take their ass out on the streets and see what it is like. Too much intellectualism and not enough mofos in the trenches is the central theme of a failing system.
