(76,693 posts)I don't believe the claustrophobia story.
Derek had been in cars many times. Wasn't an issue then.
I think that's the cops' excuse for dragging him out to rough him up. Then, it went far too far.

(16,971 posts)If ever there was a case where a man was pleading for them to stop or they were going to kill him that was it. I'm a 60 year old white guy and I can emphasize. I am claustrophobic and am not comfortable with having my ability to breathe impeded.

(2,403 posts)He was in the police care sort of. He was having a bad panic attack and was thrashing around quite a bit.

(18,497 posts)Chauvin and Floyd worked security at the same nightclub.
Did you know that?
I think there was a prior history of some kind that provoked all this.
If so it should have been murder 1.

(24,906 posts)As soon as Chauvin showed up at the scene, he knew exactly what he was going to do.

(18,497 posts)There may be nothing.
But they were not strangers.

(54,770 posts)have used the stuff in the car to say he was trying to subdue Floyd. But, he stayed on his neck at least 8 minutes and 36 seconds too long.

(4,109 posts)I have no evidence or proof. Just a theory.
He was killed to keep the counterfeit money ring secret, and some of the Police were a part of the ring.
