George Floyd was anything but a saint- I know that - but he didn’t deserve to die for the relatively trivial crime he was being arrested for. No-one does.

People can come up with all sorts of excuses for Chauvin’s behaviour and actions, but none of them can excuse what he chose to do.

I know what I watched with my own eyes, and I know what Chauvin is. He revealed himself to the world that day. I’ve got an unending respect for police officers and what they have to endure each day, but Chauvin’s actions showed him to be nothing more than a heartless, cold-blooded and arrogant murderer, who knew exactly what he was doing during those 9+ minutes. There are no excuses for that, as I know what I saw in every painful and distressing minute of George Floyd’s murder, and your condescending sarcasm will not change what I know to be the truth, Alf.

Do you not question why they allowed you to watch that trial but didn't allow you to watch the Ghislaine Maxwell trial?
