The whole George Floyd protests and riots were cooked up and manufactured before Floyd ever died. The Black and Leftist Power structure were looking for a martyr to set the anti-police movement off and Floyd was the best they could come up with. Look at the whole video. Derek Chauvin should have gotten a police citation for his exemplary handling of the situation. Instead he got a falsified coroner's report and a jail sentence. Spare me the tears for the recidivist felon, Floyd, who killed himself by his wayward life choices.
The coroner found zero evidence that the knee on the neck had any negative effect on Floyd. It is scary that the left wing actually managed to successfully sell a total lie, and use it as an excuse to destroy downtown Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland, with 26 people killed and countless innocent people assaulted out of pure progressive hate.
Remember, Hitler rose to power in the same manner, and he was a supporter of the progressive movement; and progressives supported him. We are looking at the very definition of the term 'useful idiots.'
Floyd was yelling, "I can't breathe" when he was in the squad car with no restraints. Chauvin checked twice as to why the ambulance was late in arriving (they went to the wrong address). Does that sound like someone exhibiting criminal intent (or mens rea)?
And, of course, if you can say "I can't breathe," you can breathe.
The "I can't breathe" line was used sometime in the past by a guy under arrest. Now, every street punk knows to say, "I can't breathe," when he is arrested. It can turn into a great payday for him and his lawyer.
Not only destroying the cities, several police officers and family lives, businesses and don't forget the officers in prison blamed for Floyds death. It began the devastation of Justice and Rule of Law in USA
Once again, for the slow learners: The coroner found no evidence that the knee on the neck cause Floyd's death. The coroner DID find a lethal dose of drugs in his body. How hard to do you have to think, to draw the obvious conclusion?
Watch "The Fall of Minneapolis" and get some information that DIDN'T come from the MSM. You'll learn a lot. The main thing you'll learn is that MSM lie their asses off.
I refer you to the documentary “The Fall of Minneapolis” which clearly reveals the truth of this unfortunate encounter! Yes, Chauvin should be a free man!
A masterwork documentary that is sickening in its uncovering of Minnesota, Minneapolis and FBI government corruption. The Judge would not allow the most important piece of evidence to be shown to the jury- the Minnesota and Minneapolis approved police training manual on use of the kind of restraint used on Floyd.
Police brutality against black citizens was born when the former slaves received full citizenship in 1868, and was still alive when Floyd was murdered by Chauvin. Black people had been complaining about the problem, to no avail, since its first instance. By the time Floyd got his beat-down, black citizens were sick and tired of complaining, hence, the birth of BLM. White people who believe the movement was the result of Floyd’s death don’t know the history of police brutality, and should take a trip, or two, to the Smithsonian’s African American museum.
Watch the video, The Death of Minneapolis. There was no police brutality here. There was no beat-down. Though rare, statistically, white cops are more likely to engage in police brutality against other whites than against blacks. The Smithsonian exhibit has been discredited and dismantled as leftist propaganda.
Thank you for this current view, Christopher. These retrospectives are a necessary reminder of how useless the Democrat narratives are. They are mendacious opportunists who have used their unthinking followers for power. They have turned Minnesota into an ugly mess, with a governor who wants to keep up the grift with illegals voting. They are now trying to up the ante in NYC. Keep up the hard work to expose their folly.
Greg Zotta says: George Floyd was a career criminal and the World is better off without him in it. He was not a saint and should not have been martyred. He died from a fentanyl drug overdose and may have lived if he did not lie to the police about him swallowing the drugs. Derek Chauvin followed Minneapolis Minnesota police procedures in restraining the criminal. He did not die from being restrained. The propaganda media, politicians the DA and the judge convicted Chauvin from day one. The case should have never been brought, but since it was because of the pressure it should have had a change of venue. The judge refused to let in exculpatory evidence that proved Chauvin did nothing wrong. He was convicted because members of the jury feared their town would be set on fire again. The World was set on fire with riots everywhere because of Saint George Floyd. He died in police custody and the family won the GHETTO LOTTERY. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case and order a new trial for the same fear of riots throughout the country. Chauvin was lynched and sacrificed to the mob along with his fellow officers all because of a dead THUG. The World is truly upside down.
Floyd was a career criminal. He was obese, had heart problems and had cocaine and fentanyl in his system at the time of the incident. He was a dead man walking. Floyd is responsible for his own death. Watch "The Fall Of Minneapolis."
George Floyd was 6'4" tall and 223 pounds in weight.. That means Floyd had a BMI of 27. To be obese Mr. Floyd would have to have weighed 270 pounds with a BMI of 32.9.
Floyd was imprisoned in 2009 for aggravated robbery for 4 years. Since Floyd was released in 2013, he was not arrested or convicted of any crimes for the seven years that he lived in Minneapolis. Of course Derek Chauvin tried,, convicted, and executed George Floyd for the alleged crime for passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Charles Floyd was hardly a career criminal - a drug addict, an all state high school athlete who totally failed to fulfill his promise, a petty criminal with a drug offense history, but he did not deserve his death by a sworn police officer on that day in 2020
The cry of these types (like the women you mentioned) is: "Give me Democrats or give me death" because they couldn't conceive of not voting, nor voting for anyone else. Funny enough, this is a very inclusive disjunction: Giving us Democrats has given them death.
This is a good thing -- the monumental stupidity of the whole George Floyd "thing" does not deserve a monument of remembrance. Seems like it has a fitting monument to forgetting.
Totally bereft of accountability or discernment. Only someone who has built nothing and taken responsibility for nothing could possibly believe that Trump is somehow responsible for the fact the world (and Floyd "square") didn't turn into some sort of brightly colored Teletubby utopia after the summer of racial violence that was 2020.
I am afraid it is not the last gasp. The destructive energy of the Floyd movement is now highjacked by the pseudo-Palestinian movement, which is in reality a normalization of Islamism in the US.
Sadly it appears to have uncovered an extraordinary amount of hitherto mainly hidden antisemitism throughout the West, with violent demonstrations which police forces are unable or unwilling to confront.
Antisemitism was carefully and strategically planted and grown by the marriage of two forces: neo-Marxists and Islamists. Only at a glance they seem unlikely bedfellows. Decades-long Soviet meddling in the Middle East, funding and arming anti-Israel wars and terrorism finally bears fruit.
Q: What is your specific critique of Curtis Sliwa's candidacy, especially in light of this article (other than being last in the polls) Chris? Why is the founder of the Guardian Angels a bad choice, or worse?
"I left Minneapolis that night for New York City, which has its own mayoral race featuring choices ranging from bad to worse."
50 years ago he donned a red baret and rode the subways to thwart crime when it was rampant. Since then, not so much, not that he was effrctive back then. Sure he loves the city, but he has no record of getting anything of substance done in one of the toughest jobs one of the most important cities of the world. Nice try.
re "substance", Com-dani has nothing to show for his 33 yrs on earth. And Cuomo should have been charged with ngligent homicide and spent some time in prison. He sullied his name and reputation, tho they were not that great to begin with.
Sliwa loves NYC and knows how it is wired. He would get my vote but thank god I dont live in that hell hole.
The Guardian Angels' trademark beret was an effective visual to keep the subways safer in the 1970s, due to how out-of-place it looked. It symbolizes the Guardian Angels and the failure of cities to protect its taxpayers who need to arrive at work and home in one piece.
Curtis has spent decades, free of charge, raisingup security teams in NYC and then hundreds of cities worldwide in the decades since. He was later famously shot in the back seat of a taxicab during the mob wars of the 90s, and somehow survived.
Unfortunately Curtis removed his beret and donned a suit for the debates, removing the branding he spent a lifetime building.
Accurate commentary, Chris. Thirty years ago, I began to tally the scorched city consequences of Democrat control in Newark, NJ; Detroit, New Orleans, L.A., Chicago, and dozens of smaller cities around the nation - all a mess, and all taken over by the Democrat machine decades ago.
Most of these cities have a large black population, so it makes one wonder why the Democrat Party would allow their steady supporters to deteriorate economically and socially.
What has happened in Minneapolis does not surprise me.
The simple and accurate answer is “Because they do not care about Black people” and you can insert “women”, “children” and any other group in that statement.
Back in the ‘70’s, we would say, dismissively, “All talk, no action” and it was understood. I would amend that to “All talk & meaningless action” to today’s Democrat Party. They are grifters & it’s no wonder that the Socialist arm has taken control of it. The two older white women referenced in this essay are emblematic of the party. Sad, empty platitude quoting.
And the president today is not a grifter. He is suing the government for millions of dollars. And guess who decides if he gets it. His minions. You want to see grift watch your president. Like no other.
No, Trump is not a grifter. I dont blame him for trying to recoup legal fees for his defense of all the bogus lawsuits thrown at him. He is bringing suit vs the DOJ, so a trial will determine success or failure.
Anyone with an honeat bone in their body can admit to the persecution he and his family experienced the past 10 years.
I heard today there is slush fund to pay these types of lawsuits against the DOJ, for false and defamatory actions. IF Trump can prove it, more power to him.
* I agree with a change to legal fees, that if you bring(plaintif) a suit and "loose", the loser pays all the legal fees of the defendant.
I don’t know what lawsuits you’re referencing. Sadly, like the 2 ladies Christopher Rufo encountered in Minneapolis, your knee jerk response is “but Trump”.
Please understand something, that response carries absolutely no weight as we know the full grift perpetrated by Hunter, Jim & Joe Biden. Hunter who literally sold access to our government through his father for decades & 10’s of millions of dollars.
Would be interesting if you went back to the 1960’s and reviewed some of the people who predicted what would happen with unbridled immigration and were denounced and memory holed.
Vagrants doing dope, broken windows, societal decay in George Floyd Square: sounds as if George Floyd got the "monument" he deserved... Leave it as is...
Christopher, thanks for painting the picture of failure. That is emblematic of the Left: failure. Lots of noise, lots of destruction, then move on to the next created issue and repeat the process. These people are failures and they simply vomit their failure upon everything they touch. Worse yet, they are not held accountable for the damage they cause. They are the scourge on our country.
well, they did "build something that would last", if you consider the deep, destructive social fissures and race-aligned disgust that resulted from that movement to be a "thing."

Floyd ingested the deadly(according to MAGA conservatives) dose of Fentnyl while in his car.
-- He didn’t diie.
After police spoke to Floyd a few minutes while in his car, they remove him from the car.
-- Still not dead yet.
Police put Floyd in their car, where he sat for a while complaining about different things.
-- Still not dead yet.
Police removed Floyd from their car and placed him on the ground where Chauvin knelt on his body.
-- Still not dead yet.
Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s body for 9 minutes while spectators shouted to him that Floyd was in distress.
-- After 9 minutes of this … Floyd finally dies from that fatal(according to MAGA conservatives) dose of Fentanyl.
OK, and what's your point?
Correlation does not prove causation.
Once again, for the slow learners: The coroner found no evidence that the knee on the neck cause Floyd's death. The coroner DID find a lethal dose of drugs in his body. How hard to do you have to think, to draw the obvious conclusion?

Free Derek Chauvin NOW!!
I refer you to the documentary “The Fall of Minneapolis” which clearly reveals the truth of this unfortunate encounter! Yes, Chauvin should be a free man!

"The whole George Floyd protests and riots were cooked up and manufactured before Floyd ever died."
Absolutely correct. The Left was just waiting for Something to happen, Somewhere.
Just like they were hoping for and delighted by the 4 Kent State students killed in 1970.
Police brutality against black citizens was born when the former slaves received full citizenship in 1868, and was still alive when Floyd was murdered by Chauvin. Black people had been complaining about the problem, to no avail, since its first instance.

Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis-St. Paul used to be relatively nice, northern cities. Years of leftist chaos have made them unlivable.

I always think of Mary Tyler Moore throwing her hat in the air and feel quite sad to know what it has become.
Minnesota was that funny place where almost everyone spoke with a Swedish accent. Now the big cities are the new Mogadishu.
Black Hawk Down II could be filmed in Ilhan Omar's congressional district.

Well said. One takeaway: If you live in or near an area like this and can possibly move, do it. Don't hesitate, don't wait. Go.
Me and about 100 of my friends here in Southern California knew it was a scam.
Floyd was a career criminal. He was obese, had heart problems and had cocaine and fentanyl in his system at the time of the incident. He was a dead man walking. Floyd is responsible for his own death. Watch "The Fall Of Minneapolis."
George Floyd was not obese. Lawrence you must have your Black guys mixed up, Maybe you confused George Floyd with Eric Garner of Staten Island
No confusion. George Floyd was extremely overweight. Meaning, obese.
George Floyd was 6'4" tall and 223 pounds in weight.. That means Floyd had a BMI of 27. To be obese Mr. Floyd would have to have weighed 270 pounds with a BMI of 32.9.
That would make him about the only druggie who was obese. They're usually pretty skinny.
Actually methamphetamine
Floyd was imprisoned in 2009 for aggravated robbery for 4 years. Since Floyd was released in 2013, he was not arrested or convicted of any crimes for the seven years that he lived in Minneapolis. Of course Derek Chauvin tried,, convicted, and executed George Floyd for the alleged crime for passing a counterfeit $20 bill.

Yes---EASY--stolen virtue. Just say a few "correct" phrases and instantly lazy, uneducated people ..feel good.
Good review of a very sad chapter in MN & USA history. Thank God for President Trump
This is a good thing -- the monumental stupidity of the whole George Floyd "thing" does not deserve a monument of remembrance. Seems like it has a fitting monument to forgetting.
These women sound like typical AWFLs.
Totally bereft of accountability or discernment. Only someone who has built nothing and taken responsibility for nothing could possibly believe that Trump is somehow responsible for the fact the world (and Floyd "square") didn't turn into some sort of brightly colored Teletubby utopia after the summer of racial violence that was 2020.
These people should not vote. Full stop.
Their ignorance and laziness is on full display--and they are proud of it!
A choice between the devil you know and the devil you don't is seemingly yhe current direction of the movement. That's the last gasp I think.
I am afraid it is not the last gasp. The destructive energy of the Floyd movement is now highjacked by the pseudo-Palestinian movement, which is in reality a normalization of Islamism in the US.
The Palestinian movement is an even larger display of both ignorant "protestors" and PAID protestors.
Sadly it appears to have uncovered an extraordinary amount of hitherto mainly hidden antisemitism throughout the West, with violent demonstrations which police forces are unable or unwilling to confront.
Antisemitism was carefully and strategically planted and grown by the marriage of two forces: neo-Marxists and Islamists. Only at a glance they seem unlikely bedfellows. Decades-long Soviet meddling in the Middle East, funding and arming anti-Israel wars and terrorism finally bears fruit.
Their hate & destruction are like mold. You can never eradicate it. It lurks out there always. You can only work to remove it as it shows up.
And, what feeds this 'mold'? The fuel is a 'host' on which it can feed and grow.
They don't conceive of working, building, creating. So they only have envy, hate and lies to fuel and justify their destruction.
Once the boomers start passing it will come back with a vengeance. Not many understand what’s coming.
Could youbl elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by this comment.
Q: What is your specific critique of Curtis Sliwa's candidacy, especially in light of this article (other than being last in the polls) Chris? Why is the founder of the Guardian Angels a bad choice, or worse?

Sure he loves the city, but he has no record of getting anything of substance done in one of the toughest jobs one of the most important cities of the world. Nice try.
He’s got my vote as the others are worse. But he’s polling single digits
The polls never lie :) If enough others do the same as you, I'm there for it.
re "substance", Com-dani has nothing to show for his 33 yrs on earth. And Cuomo should have been charged with ngligent homicide and spent some time in prison. He sullied his name and reputation, tho they were not that great to begin with.
Sliwa loves NYC and knows how it is wired. He would get my vote but thank god I dont live in that hell hole.
It's the beret man. Clearly unserious looking. Altho I liked what he said, it's all the look, sadly.
The Guardian Angels' trademark beret was an effective visual to keep the subways safer in the 1970s, due to how out-of-place it looked. It symbolizes the Guardian Angels and the failure of cities to protect its taxpayers who need to arrive at work and home in one piece.

Unfortunately Curtis removed his beret and donned a suit for the debates, removing the branding he spent a lifetime building.
Indeed, its so 1970s, as is Curtis. No matter what,these activities over the last 50 years haven't resulted in anything today.
So there's that.
But hey worse is better than bad for sure. How can you right the square therefore that Mr. Sliwa is not ahead?
I wish someone more electable was up there, but the other candidates are just more of the same hoping to avoid that label.
Wouldn't it just be something if the polls were wrong and he made it through though? I'm a big fan of the 70s, not so much the grey or black-pilling.
Strange things do happen!
Except Sliwa can't win......that's the problem. He is at least more honest and likes NY. But that's not enough for uneducated, lazy voters.
