Derek Chauvin’s attorney just said a “reasonable officer” would take into account that some people lie about having a medical emergency in order not to get arrested. Left unsaid: George Floyd is dead so it’s safe to say he wasn’t pretending? — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Chauvin’s attorney says focusing on the 9 mins & 29 secs Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd’s neck is “not the proper analysis” bc it ignores previous 16 mins & 59 secs that officers dealt w/ Floyd. Prosecutors say the knee on the neck is Chauvin’s crime that killed Floyd. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Derek Chauvin's attorney is talking at length about what a "reasonable officer" would do & is spending a lot of time walking through the moments before Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck. And, Chauvin has taken his mask off and is looking at the jury often as his lawyer speaks. — PolitiTweet.org

Does Pres Biden agree with Rep Maxine Waters who told protesters in Minnesota to "stay in the street" and become "more confrontational"? Psaki: His view is expressing first amendment rights is the most American thing people can do. He believes protests must be peaceful. — PolitiTweet.org

The prosecution is ending the way it began by telling the jury, "You can believe your eyes." The prosecutor says: This wasn't a sudden cardiac arrhythmia, a heart attack, a drug overdose, a death from underlying conditions or an accident. It was an intentional act by Chauvin. — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecutor on Derek Chauvin: "What the defendant did was not policing. What the defendant did was an assault. ... He did what he did on purpose and it killed George Floyd. That force for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. That killed George Floyd." — PolitiTweet.org

Q: Should you re-prioritize to push for legislation related to gun reforms and policing? President Biden: Congress has to step up to act and pass bills on gun reform. We need to ban assault weapons. But that doesn't mean that I can't also be working on COVID and the economy. — PolitiTweet.org
