Derek Chauvin trial - Jaw drop moment with the current expert for the defense.

61. I agree

This is something left unexplored by the prosecution team. Black people are traumatized and the mere presence of the police triggers us and produces fear and anxiety (extreme anxiety even panic in some). George Floyd was afraid of the police. We now see that his fear was justified.
I have never taken street drugs or abuse any form of drugs but I have been accused of "being on something" in a traffic stop before because of my anxiety-ridden reaction. I was lucky to be able to explain my reaction. George Floyd tried numerous times to explain his reaction but he was neglected because of preconceived notions. Therefore, I believe the accusation of taking drugs is made to us even when we are not on drugs. It's a mere coincidence that Floyd was on drugs. The defense is riddled with the racial bias that is rampant in law enforcement. I don't believe this will be lost on some of the jurors.
My brother is a LEO and he has told us how tight it can be at the back of a standard police car. I believe it is inhumane. He has also told us about how they can make alternate arrangements for bigger people.
