    The Lynching of George Floyd: Truth vs. Copaganda https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article7111 USA The Lynching of George Floyd: Truth vs. Copaganda - IV Online magazine - 2021 - IV555 - April 2021 - Publication date: Wednesday 21 April 2021 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/5 The Lynching of George Floyd: Truth vs. Copaganda This article was written before the conclusions and the verdict. "I CALLED THE police on the police," one eyewitness told the jury. The prosecution opened the trial of Derek Chauvin with a 9-minute and 29-second ("929") video of the cop's knee murdering George Floyd on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis. The Medical Examiner and other medical doctors said he was not moving minutes after the knee was placed on his neck. The evidence by eyewitnesses and testimony by police officers, including the chief, declared that Chauvin was not following police policy and should be convicted. The Blue Wall of silence was cracked. The top police officials' argument is that Chauvin is an exception to "good policing." African Americans and many others, on the other hand, see Chauvin as the norm of modern policing especially as it applies to Black and Brown people. $27 Million Civil Settlement A few days before the trial began the Minneapolis City Council agreed, March 12, to a historic civil settlement paying the Floyd family $27 million the largest pre-trial settlement ever. Chauvin's lawyers unsuccessfully tried to use the settlement as a reason to move the criminal trial out of Minneapolis.

  • A Pastoral Word on the Verdict of Derek Chauvin's Trial the Trial Of
    A pastoral word on the verdict of Derek Chauvin’s trial The trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minnesota police officer charged with the killing of George Floyd, has riveted our national attention these past weeks, and now a verdict has been reached. Together with people around the world, we have anticipated the jury’s decision with troubled hearts. As members of the community of Jesus, we affirm that “if one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26, NRSV). No jury verdict can erase the pain of the Floyd family, and we share our condolences and pray for ongoing comfort in their suffering and for all whose lives have been touched by this tragedy. As people of the cross, we believe in the hope of the resurrection. Yet we cannot rush to Easter Sunday without reflecting on the oppression of Good Friday. The murder of George Floyd is one of the many examples of the ongoing abuse of police authority. The extrajudicial killings of Brown and Black bodies must stop. We recommit ourselves as a church to continue to fight against the sin of racism and to hold accountable unjust systems and structures that perpetuate injustices, including our own. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” The work of confronting these injustices is long overdue. Let us together in our congregations and communities discern how we are being called in this moment to live out our baptismal promise to serve all people and strive for justice and peace.

  • GEORGE FLOYD / BREONNA TAYLOR ESSAYS by Julius Wachtel
    GEORGE FLOYD / BREONNA TAYLOR ESSAYS by Julius Wachtel As originally published in POLICEISSUES.ORG (c) 2007-2021 Julius Wachtel Permission to reproduce in part or in whole granted for non-commercial purposes only POLICEISSUES.ORG Posted 5/17/21 IS THE “CURE” WORSE THAN THE “DISEASE”? Dem’s push the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.” Its consequences could be profound. For Police Issues by Julius (Jay) Wachtel. On June 8, 2020, a mere twelve days after those punishing “nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds” took George Floyd’s life, the 116th. Congress introduced the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020.” Seventeen days later, on June 25, the House approved the measure by a comfortable 236-181 margin. Only three Republicans, though, voted in its favor. And the Senate, then a province of the “Reds,” simply refused to take it up. Hoping for a better outcome, the Dem’s reintroduced the legislation in the 117th. Congress. On March 3rd., reflecting their eroded standing, the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021” passed the lower chamber on a far less decisive 220-212 vote. It now awaits action by the evenly-divided Senate. Here are some of its key provisions (for the text version click here; for a summary click here.) · As Federal law (18 USC 242) presently stands, police officers can only be prosecuted for “willful” civil rights violations, meaning done on purpose and with bad intent. The George Floyd Act would relax this standard to include behavior that was “knowing” – meaning, not by accident – or “reckless.” Should death result, present penalty enhancements would be extended to include situations where officer conduct was a “substantial” contributing factor to the fatality, not only its sole or primary cause.

  • NAMI NH Statement on Verdict in Murder Trial of Derek Chauvin (April 20, 2021)
    NAMI NH Statement on Verdict in Murder Trial of Derek Chauvin (April 20, 2021) NAMI New Hampshire applauds the guilty verdicts returned in the murder trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. The murder of George Floyd brought renewed awareness to how racism negatively impacts mental health and the need to address racism as an important public health issue. As part of our strategic planning process, NAMI NH is working to advance diversity, equity and inclusion throughout our organization. We are doing this work to further our mission of improving the lives of all people impacted by mental illness and suicide, including communities of color who are historically underserved. George Floyd’s murder also underscored the need to continue to address excessive use of deadly force by law enforcement. In the Chauvin trial, fellow law enforcement officers and leaders turned out in force to testify against Chauvin, a recognition that the use of deadly force must be reduced. In New Hampshire, fifty percent of fatalities from officer-involved shootings have been people with known mental illness. NAMI NH will continue to provide and promote training to law enforcement that focuses on de-escalation strategies and techniques. Today NAMI NH recalls and reflects on the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Mental health resources for BIPOC/AAPI communities and allies are available at https://www.naminh.org/resources-2/bipoc/. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NAMI National’s Statement on the Outcome of the Derek Chauvin Trial (April 20, 2021) The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) today released the following statement from CEO Daniel H.
