0:00

hey everyone meet kevin here i am

0:01

retaking this video on the update

0:04

regarding derek shovin pleading guilty

0:06

to civil rights charges related to

0:08

george floyd's death because of drama

0:10

that ensued in the comments section

0:12

after my last post apparently folks are

0:15

more interested in their own personal

0:17

views of political righteousness taking

0:19

over the facts listen folks we're gonna

0:22

make this crystal clear right up front

0:25

and then i'm gonna go through the news

0:26

update which i had previously recorded

0:28

which i'm just going to retake right now

0:31

we got to make this clear because

0:32

apparently people don't understand what

0:34

a plea agreement is or how resisting

0:38

works okay that's what the problem was

0:40

in the last video and commentary people

0:42

were upset that i suggested that uh

0:45

george floyd at one point when he was on

0:47

the floor stopped resisting which is

0:49

what the jury found that is the fact

0:52

yeah he may have had

0:54

certain drugs in his system beforehand

0:55

he may have been resisting going into

0:57

the car we got that but

0:59

you stop resisting you stop using force

1:02

that's what the law is and so for all

1:05

the crazy commenters who want to put

1:07

together their political perspectives

1:09

and

1:10

spew them out in the comments section on

1:12

youtube let's make crystal clear what

1:14

the department of justice says and what

1:16

the plea agreement says this is not bias

1:19

so the people were like oh my gosh i

1:21

thought you were unbiased you're saying

1:22

he wasn't resisting would you read the

1:24

darn report and that's exactly what

1:26

we're going to do right now let's make

1:27

it crystal clear because that's what we

1:29

do here i'm not here to report bullcrap

1:31

bias what do i get out of inflecting my

1:34

bias on what what happened in this trial

1:36

i'm reporting information now i'm

1:38

reporting stuff that obviously people

1:40

are politically heated about which is

1:41

honestly ridiculous because it's right

1:43

here in the plea agreement defendant

1:45

chauvin admitted that on may 25th 2020

1:49

he willfully violated mr floyd's

1:51

constitutional right to be free from an

1:53

officer's use of unreasonable force this

1:56

is what chauvin admitted to

1:58

and this is part of a plea agreement so

2:00

that chauvin doesn't get life in prison

2:02

okay he's trying to negotiate his

2:03

sentence down i'll explain how that

2:05

concurrent sentence works in a moment

2:07

specifically defendant chauvin admitted

2:09

that he held his left knee across mr

2:12

floyd's back

2:14

neck and shoulder and his right knee on

2:15

mr floyd's back and arm in the plea

2:17

agreement

2:18

he states that mr floyd remained

2:21

restrained

2:22

prone and handcuffed on the ground for

2:25

approximately 10 minutes derek shoven

2:27

further admitted that he continued to

2:29

use force even though he was aware that

2:31

mr floyd had stopped resisting okay this

2:34

is critical now i've been on the road in

2:37

law enforcement for 3000 hours

2:39

i've been on both sides okay now i'm not

2:42

suggesting

2:43

anything by this beyond i'm trying to do

2:46

my best to just report the facts here i

2:49

don't care about your democratic or your

2:52

republican tilt i freaking hate politics

2:54

i wish we would take politics out of

2:56

politics so we can actually have

2:57

government that functions look at

2:59

california it's a disaster just as an

3:01

example

3:02

but anyway and i'm in california it's

3:05

all governor newsome's fault see i'll

3:06

say that because i ran against him

3:08

anyway

3:10

that's political bias okay

3:12

but i think i'm right too but anyway i'm

3:14

just being transparent about that that's

3:16

an opinion we're focusing on fact here

3:17

okay listen right here

3:20

when someone stops resisting you have to

3:22

stop using force

3:24

even though he was aware that mr floyd

3:25

had stopped resisting talking and moving

3:28

and even though he was aware that mr

3:30

floyd had lost consciousness

3:32

and a pulse

3:34

defendant chauvin admitted

3:37

that policy and training requires

3:39

officers to stop using force when the

3:41

subject is not resisting and to move an

3:43

arrestee from a prone position to a side

3:45

recovery or seated position because the

3:46

prone position may make it more

3:48

difficult to breathe

3:50

so what happens

3:52

we have a jury that declared that at

3:54

some point george floyd stopped

3:56

resisting

3:57

yet derek chauvin

3:58

continued pro

4:00

holding his knee on on shoving's neck

4:02

and back and arms

4:04

in the plea agreement chauvin is

4:06

agreeing to this now we understand it's

4:07

a plea agreement so obviously there's

4:09

some element of like well at this point

4:11

i may as well just sign and hopefully

4:12

get a lower sentence right

4:14

but the point is

4:16

there is a point and i don't think

4:18

anyone can dispute that there is a point

4:21

when derek chauvin

4:23

was on top of george floyd where george

4:25

floyd was not resisting where george

4:27

floyd gave up

4:29

and derek chauvin stayed on top of him

4:31

that's what matters here folks that's

4:33

what matters so all these comments about

4:35

oh my gosh you said he's not resisting

4:37

at one point he was not

4:39

we gotta chill with the freaking

4:41

political biases but moving on

4:44

let's understand what the news update

4:45

here today is okay chauvin appeared in

4:47

person today

4:49

to

4:50

input or change his plea he pled guilty

4:52

in both floyd's death and a separate

4:54

2017 case which in which both he was

4:57

being civilly charged for

4:59

essentially excessive use of force in

5:01

the 2017 case he was

5:03

charged with while he was arresting a 14

5:05

year old boy during

5:07

that encounter chauvin held the teen by

5:09

his throat hit him in the head with his

5:11

flashlight and held his knee on the

5:13

teen's neck and upper back despite the

5:14

teen being handcuffed there's a very

5:17

similar case here right obviously in

5:19

this case the teen survived and floyd

5:22

did not floyd died

5:24

now this wasn't the only encounter that

5:27

prosecutors used to show that chauvin

5:29

had used neck head and upper body

5:31

restraints in the past there had been a

5:32

total of seven prior instances prior to

5:34

2004 and this surfaced in court filings

5:37

four of those times state prosecutors

5:38

said that chauvin went quote too far and

5:41

held restraints quote beyond the point

5:43

in which such force was needed under the

5:45

circumstances

5:47

members of floyd's family were present

5:48

today and so was the then teenager from

5:51

the 2017

5:52

case yahoo news reported that as they

5:55

were leaving the courtroom floyd's

5:56

brother said to the 2017 victim it is a

5:59

good day for justice george floyd's

6:02

nephew said that a chauvin had been

6:04

quote held accountable for what he did

6:05

in 2017 to the then minor george floyd

6:08

would still be here

6:10

now the indictment now alleges that

6:12

chauvin violated floyd's rights to be

6:14

free from unreasonable seizure

6:16

the other officers had a similar charges

6:18

against them chovin right now remains in

6:20

prison on a 22 and a half year sentence

6:23

that was the midpoint recommended

6:24

between 15 to 30 years when we covered

6:26

the trial live or at least the

6:28

sentencing live for the state case and

6:31

acknowledging his guilt in this federal

6:33

case might actually help him get a

6:34

reduced sentence in

6:36

this this federal case see without a

6:38

guilty plea he could have potentially

6:40

faced his 22 and a half year term plus a

6:43

life term now he's facing a 22 and a

6:46

half year term plus a potential 20 to 25

6:49

year term and those would be served

6:51

concurrently with an additional five

6:53

years of supervised probation and

6:55

agreeing to never be a police officer

6:56

again so there is a chance that uh

6:59

chauvin's total sentence could get

7:00

extended by two and a half years to a

7:01

total of 25 years or that maybe the

7:03

judge will just choose a sentence that

7:05

matches the 22 and a half

7:07

not extending the sentence at all but

7:09

rather

7:10

reiterating the sentence with two terms

7:12

and then always there's the potential of

7:13

somebody being released early on on good

7:16

behavior or whatever but look i just

7:18

want to be crystal clear because in in

7:20

politics and political things people get

7:22

so emotionally charged about one thing

7:24

they hear one thing oh my gosh you said

7:26

he wasn't resisting didn't you see him

7:28

resisting going into the car yeah

7:30

okay

7:32

we got it

7:33

floyd resisted going into the car

7:36

yeah there were problems leading up to

7:38

the instance a lot of things went wrong

7:40

a lot of things went wrong on both sides

7:44

but dude if you're on top of somebody

7:46

and they're unresponsive get the f off

7:48

of them and that's not what happened

7:50

here and that is why in my opinion the

7:53

jury ruled the way they did

7:57

and we've got a clear statement now

7:59

from chauvin as well

8:02

that chauvin acknowledges

8:05

that when resistance stops

8:08

which he acknowledges the resistance

8:09

stopped you get off and you move the

8:12

person you're restraining to a seated

8:16

position so that they can breathe better

8:18

okay all right

8:20

look folks it's just the news

8:22

chill out with the freaking comments and

8:25

the hate

8:27

it's better to learn

8:28

and go spewing crap in the comments okay

8:31

all right thanks for watching this

8:33

updated version goodbye
