This is nuttier than anyone could expect. If Republicans do nothing, they will be like the officers who watched #Chauvin for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and did nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Major points made for prosecution by the most sr MPD officer & others as trial ends for the week. They testified that #Chauvin's knee on #Floyd's neck constituted force that was excessive, unnecessary, unwarranted & wrong. A dramatic, powerful end of 1st week of testimony. — PolitiTweet.org

4. police also trained to get suspect out of prone position as soon as possible and sit him up or on his side 5. Cross made no relevant points to counter the excess 6. Redirect ended with witness saying crowd was no threat & there was no reason for #Chauvin's knee for 9 minutes — PolitiTweet.org

VERY IMPT TESTIMONY in #ChauvinTrial today. Most sr officer of MPD: 1. kneeling on prone handcuffed suspect is deadly force 2. breathing is restricted when handcuffed &restricted further when prone 3. police trained to know that and to render medical aid to suspect in distress — PolitiTweet.org

@corpavsafety @manchu_scout Great point! Though, as important, the crowd was not menacing and backed off when told to. Help was offered, not threats, all in an attempt to stop what appeared to be -- and was -- a murder in progress. — PolitiTweet.org

In other news today: Case against @mattgaetz gets more awful. He left a paper trail of paying cash for the underage girls & more. His claim of being a victim of extortion does not change evidence of his sex w minors & he cld not be extorted unless there was an underlying crime. — PolitiTweet.org

4/that drugs killed Mr. Floyd and that fear of the crowd distracted and prevented Chauvin from doing the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

3/Off-duty EMT on scene earlier who wanted to help but was barred from helping also could have saved him. All the evidence is pointing to depraved indifference to Floyd's life. Defense scoring no points imho and insulting to witnesses grief and guilt and to jury with arguments... — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

2/Paramedics describe Floyd's medical condition when they arrived - basically too late to save him, but say police could have done chest compressions and saved Floyd. Of course, all that was necessary to save him was for Chauvin & the others to get off him once he was handcuffed. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

1/Today's news from the #ChauvinTrial. #GeorgeFloyd described as a vibrant, active man by his girlfriend & surviving an earlier drug overdose, but not a knee on his neck. Chauvain described by his police supervisor as using unnecessary force after Floyd was handcuffed and prone. — PolitiTweet.org

Great analysis by @BarbMcQuade — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

Same is true for their attempts to dehumanize Mr. Floyd and make him responsible for his death because he had drugs in his system. Video shows him alive and well and dancing and testimony says doing side lunges just before dying. The cause: a knee on his neck, not drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

I like @NicolleDWallace analogy to having an underlying health issue, getting covid and dying. Covid is the culprit, not any other health issue. Same here. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

@CapehartJ Yes -- and it never works unless the jury already hates and distrusts the prosecution team. It won't work here. — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahcpr He remained calm and, like the MMA witness, didn't fall for the blatant and disgusting attempt to paint him as "an angry black man." — PolitiTweet.org
