DELETED my FIRST Take on *This* Derek Chauvin BREAKING News.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin here i am
retaking this video on the update
regarding derek shovin pleading guilty
to civil rights charges related to
george floyd's death because of drama
that ensued in the comments section
after my last post apparently folks are
more interested in their own personal
views of political righteousness taking
over the facts listen folks we're gonna
make this crystal clear right up front
and then i'm gonna go through the news
update which i had previously recorded
which i'm just going to retake right now
we got to make this clear because
apparently people don't understand what
a plea agreement is or how resisting
works okay that's what the problem was
in the last video and commentary people
were upset that i suggested that uh
george floyd at one point when he was on
the floor stopped resisting which is
what the jury found that is the fact
yeah he may have had
certain drugs in his system beforehand
he may have been resisting going into
the car we got that but
you stop resisting you stop using force
that's what the law is and so for all
the crazy commenters who want to put
together their political perspectives
and
spew them out in the comments section on
youtube let's make crystal clear what
the department of justice says and what
the plea agreement says this is not bias
so the people were like oh my gosh i
thought you were unbiased you're saying
he wasn't resisting would you read the
darn report and that's exactly what
we're going to do right now let's make
it crystal clear because that's what we
do here i'm not here to report bullcrap
bias what do i get out of inflecting my
bias on what what happened in this trial
i'm reporting information now i'm
reporting stuff that obviously people
are politically heated about which is
honestly ridiculous because it's right
here in the plea agreement defendant
chauvin admitted that on may 25th 2020
he willfully violated mr floyd's
constitutional right to be free from an
officer's use of unreasonable force this
is what chauvin admitted to
and this is part of a plea agreement so
that chauvin doesn't get life in prison
okay he's trying to negotiate his
sentence down i'll explain how that
concurrent sentence works in a moment
specifically defendant chauvin admitted
that he held his left knee across mr
floyd's back
neck and shoulder and his right knee on
mr floyd's back and arm in the plea
agreement
he states that mr floyd remained
restrained
prone and handcuffed on the ground for
approximately 10 minutes derek shoven
further admitted that he continued to
use force even though he was aware that
mr floyd had stopped resisting okay this
is critical now i've been on the road in
law enforcement for 3000 hours
i've been on both sides okay now i'm not
suggesting
anything by this beyond i'm trying to do
my best to just report the facts here i
don't care about your democratic or your
republican tilt i freaking hate politics
i wish we would take politics out of
politics so we can actually have
government that functions look at
california it's a disaster just as an
example
but anyway and i'm in california it's
all governor newsome's fault see i'll
say that because i ran against him
anyway
that's political bias okay
but i think i'm right too but anyway i'm
just being transparent about that that's
an opinion we're focusing on fact here
okay listen right here
when someone stops resisting you have to
stop using force
even though he was aware that mr floyd
had stopped resisting talking and moving
and even though he was aware that mr
floyd had lost consciousness
and a pulse
defendant chauvin admitted
that policy and training requires
officers to stop using force when the
subject is not resisting and to move an
arrestee from a prone position to a side
recovery or seated position because the
prone position may make it more
difficult to breathe
so what happens
we have a jury that declared that at
some point george floyd stopped
resisting
yet derek chauvin
continued pro
holding his knee on on shoving's neck
and back and arms
in the plea agreement chauvin is
agreeing to this now we understand it's
a plea agreement so obviously there's
some element of like well at this point
i may as well just sign and hopefully
get a lower sentence right
but the point is
there is a point and i don't think
anyone can dispute that there is a point
when derek chauvin
was on top of george floyd where george
floyd was not resisting where george
floyd gave up
and derek chauvin stayed on top of him
that's what matters here folks that's
what matters so all these comments about
oh my gosh you said he's not resisting
at one point he was not
we gotta chill with the freaking
political biases but moving on
let's understand what the news update
here today is okay chauvin appeared in
person today
to
input or change his plea he pled guilty
in both floyd's death and a separate
2017 case which in which both he was
being civilly charged for
essentially excessive use of force in
the 2017 case he was
charged with while he was arresting a 14
year old boy during
that encounter chauvin held the teen by
his throat hit him in the head with his
flashlight and held his knee on the
teen's neck and upper back despite the
teen being handcuffed there's a very
similar case here right obviously in
this case the teen survived and floyd
did not floyd died
now this wasn't the only encounter that
prosecutors used to show that chauvin
had used neck head and upper body
restraints in the past there had been a
total of seven prior instances prior to
2004 and this surfaced in court filings
four of those times state prosecutors
said that chauvin went quote too far and
held restraints quote beyond the point
in which such force was needed under the
circumstances
members of floyd's family were present
today and so was the then teenager from
the 2017
case yahoo news reported that as they
were leaving the courtroom floyd's
brother said to the 2017 victim it is a
good day for justice george floyd's
nephew said that a chauvin had been
quote held accountable for what he did
in 2017 to the then minor george floyd
would still be here
now the indictment now alleges that
chauvin violated floyd's rights to be
free from unreasonable seizure
the other officers had a similar charges
against them chovin right now remains in
prison on a 22 and a half year sentence
that was the midpoint recommended
between 15 to 30 years when we covered
the trial live or at least the
sentencing live for the state case and
acknowledging his guilt in this federal
case might actually help him get a
reduced sentence in
this this federal case see without a
guilty plea he could have potentially
faced his 22 and a half year term plus a
life term now he's facing a 22 and a
half year term plus a potential 20 to 25
year term and those would be served
concurrently with an additional five
years of supervised probation and
agreeing to never be a police officer
again so there is a chance that uh
chauvin's total sentence could get
extended by two and a half years to a
total of 25 years or that maybe the
judge will just choose a sentence that
matches the 22 and a half
not extending the sentence at all but
rather
reiterating the sentence with two terms
and then always there's the potential of
somebody being released early on on good
behavior or whatever but look i just
want to be crystal clear because in in
politics and political things people get
so emotionally charged about one thing
they hear one thing oh my gosh you said
he wasn't resisting didn't you see him
resisting going into the car yeah
okay
we got it
floyd resisted going into the car
yeah there were problems leading up to
the instance a lot of things went wrong
a lot of things went wrong on both sides
but dude if you're on top of somebody
and they're unresponsive get the f off
of them and that's not what happened
here and that is why in my opinion the
jury ruled the way they did
and we've got a clear statement now
from chauvin as well
that chauvin acknowledges
that when resistance stops
which he acknowledges the resistance
stopped you get off and you move the
person you're restraining to a seated
position so that they can breathe better
okay all right
look folks it's just the news
chill out with the freaking comments and
the hate
it's better to learn
and go spewing crap in the comments okay
all right thanks for watching this
updated version goodbye
