They arrested and tried Floyd's drug dealer? Floyd committed suicide by self drugging.

Sounds like the police officers were railroaded.

Autopsy didn’t find any strangulation or asphyxiation.

Probably died of drug overdose.

Well dang, I missed the "?" in your post at first glance and thought you were making a statement of fact vs a rhetorical question.
I misunderstood & thought that the guy inside the SUV with Floyd that day, the one who was pending drug charges or something in relation to Floyd's death, that Chauvin's defense team wanted to call as a witness, had finally been held accountable.

The prosecutor objected to the defense calling the guy as a witness, as it would be prejudicial with the jury to hear him "Plead the Fifth Amendment" in response to any question of substance relating to Floyd's death since he was either pending charges, or had already been charged. The judge said if the defense could articulate any line of questioning that would be relevant and not elicit a "Pleading of the Fifth" in front of the jury that he would consider it. However, even asking if "Were you there that day?" would lower the prosecutions burden if he went to trial, it was decided the defense couldn't call him as a witness.

That stood out for me as the prosecutor's office timing the sequencing of the trials in a manner to exclude a key witness that would present reasonable doubt regarding the proximate cause death. Watching the full trial, especially the deliberations where the jury had been excused, further eroded confidence of a fair trial. As unpalatable as it would be, I would have preferred the prosecutor exercise discretion and grant immunity for any TRUTHFUL statements that guy made under oath. Or, prosecute that guys case / plead it down as low-hanging fruit BEFORE The Chauvin murder trial to enable the cases with greater jeopardy to have the fairest process possible. The prosecutor has an ethical obligation to pursue Justice, not a political conviction.

Maybe he will change the name of the holiday.

RIP Martin.

I wouldn’t have picked white granite for your monument.

I wouldn’t have picked a Chinese national for the sculptor either.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/4-hotel-empl ... 02161.html

4 hotel employees charged in the death of an obese man who while on cocaine and meth and was not a hotel guest, entered a first floor occupied womans restroom, fought with hotel employees attempting to remove him from the hotel. They failed to roll him on his side and instead kept him on his stomach waiting for police to arrive.

He died of asphyxiation.

News is comparing this event to George Floyd’s death.

Not know if he identified as a woman.

An autopsy found that Mitchell was morbidly obese
That alone might have killed the guy.
John Chisholm

Milwaukee County District Attorney Chisholm’s office faced massive criticism after it came to light that it freed Darrell Brooks, the lunatic who killed six people when he deliberately drove through a Christmas parade, five days before the murders, on $1,000 bail.

That further solidified his reputation as a weak-on-crime DA. An investigation from Wisconsin Right Now found that Chisholm’s office “has been refusing to prosecute 6 in every 10 felony cases requested by police and an astounding 8 in 10 misdemeanor cases.”

Amid controversy, Chisholm announced he wouldn’t be running for re-election at the end of this year.

DA Chisholm is simply top cover for criminals. Past time to put Chisholm in jail for life. That would be actual justice.
