. They could asked for a judge trial, and asked that it's a closed court. .

The legal expertise on this site is awesome.

Since that is your profession, give us an opinion, given the evidence available, of what you think will and should happen.

Unlike most of you, I don't know all the evidence. (Yes, that was sarcastic).

My opinion is this, you cannot make assumptions about what the evidence is or will be from media reports and some videos. You cannot say what a court will or will not do or what a jury will or will not do from the media reports and a few videos. Thinking this case will go away because of the way you view the evidence is, I don't even know how to put it other than stupid. You are looking at it with your perspective of what you want the evidence to be, not what it is.

I will say this one thing and stand behind it. It doesn't matter what George Floyd did 10 minutes before, or 5 minutes before. What ever he did, it does not give the officer the right to do what he is accused of doing. It does not give the officer the right to kneel on his neck for 9 minutes when there was no struggle and no attempts be Floyd to resist. I'm not talking about what happened before. I'm talking about the 9 minutes he knelt on his neck with no resistance from Floyd. The question for a jury isn't did he have drugs in his system. It isn't did the drugs contribute to the death. It is, did the actions of the officer lead to his death. Would he be alive but for the actions of the officer. You can't answer that question and no one on this site can answer that question because we don't know and can't know all the evidence. Unless you have first hand access to the evidence and review all of it, you can never make a valid determination as to anyone's guilt or innocence.

I understand a lot pf what you have said but wouldnt what GF did in the minutes up to his death matter if they could have been the cause of his death if someone was accused of killing him?

Its called an opinion. And yes some are stupid. Still its an opinion. If you havent noticed about 90% of the content of this site is peoples opinions, all kinds of people with all kinds of opinions. We must like that pretty good because we keep logging on and reading those opinions and responding to them. If thats stupid, I guess we all are to some extent.

I fully support LEO's, usually past the point of making sense, but, after watching that video those particular officers did a few things that unnecessarily escalated things and could have avoided the whole situation.

1. The officer who immediately drew his weapon at the beginning of the stop. Right there put everyone involved on high alert. Not sure I saw anything deeming that necessary.

2. It's obvious from the very beginning that Floyd is terrified and not in his right mind (crying, states he just lost his mom, terrified of being shot by police). At this point before you pull him out of the car by yourself wait for back up to arrive and just try to calm everyone down.

3. Never heard the cause for the stop. Also why were the bystanders asked to show their ID? Why was he put into cuffs? Again I support LEOs to the "T" but you can't escalate a situation and terrify a suspect then arrest them for resisting because they aren't following your orders when they're under immense stress at the end of a gun. That's a government state none of us want to live under.

I agree with everyone else that not all the officers should be charged or even fired for that matter. The a$$hole who kept his knee on his neck should have been fired and charged with something. Not sure what because in my opinion there will never be a non-biased medical report. But you'll never convince me that if he did not place his knee on his neck at all that Floyd would not be alive today because I think he would.

He (GF) would be alive if not for the actions of GF, period. Of course, that won’t matter.

You can't put toothpaste back in the tube.

Did he have the Kung Flu on top of fentanyl, meth and weed?

And what is cotinine?

You can't put toothpaste back in the tube. Video could come out today of Floyd murdering someone in the street 5 minutes prior to his arrest, and it wouldn't change the narrative. I still believe the officer acted inappropriately but making Floyd some innocent martyr is just being intellectually dishonest.

I don't believe he's dead.
