The Trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd

He wonā€™t. He had to restrain a very large and drugged up individual and he did it as he was shown in training and while a crowd of people were shouting at him. It mustā€™ve been a very scary incident for him and clearly it affected his judgement and as a result he knelt too long on the manā€™s chest/throat area.

ā€¦ and heā€™s only a small lad, 63kg, must have been very difficult for him.

Actually, Chauvinā€™s weight of 140lbs has been mentioned several times. The prosecution should have thrown out a set of scales and asked him to stand on them. No way that guy is only 10 stone.

It would have backfired spectacularly if he were. A bit like OJā€™s glove.

True. But he doesnā€™t look like a feeble 10 stone does he?

Thatā€™s what was reported in the courtroom, heā€™s 5-9 and slim looking, so Iā€™d say a reasonable range for that profile would be 130-150 lb.

Iā€™ve said it before and Iā€™ll say it again, anyone under 6ā€™1 has no business being in a position of authority

Iā€™d have my doubts about that too.
Below is the type of vehicle Floyd was restrained beside. Itā€™s almost 6ft See below!! (59.2in) high.

Chauvinā€™s head is easily above the lights at back which are easily higher than 3 ft off the ground. See bottom pic. Just rough calculations but if heā€™s 5ā€™ 9" Iā€™m 28 years old.

OOooooooooooooooops! 60 in is 5 foot

Yeah but he wasnā€™t kneeling on the ground, which is kinda the issue hereā€¦
