Minneapolis cashier tells jury Floyd was chatty, appeared ‘high'
[Aljazeera] A cashier who was one of the last people to speak with George Floyd before his deadly arrest on May 25 last year has testified at Derek Chauvin’s murder trial in the US city of Minneapolis that Floyd appeared to be high on drugs but was able to make friendly conversation.

Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, is being tried for murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd on May 25, 2020. Floyd died after Chauvin pressed his knee on his neck for about nine minutes. The prosecution alleges Floyd died because of Chauvin’s actions, the defence is expected to argue that drugs and pre-existing medical conditions caused his death.

#2 The Gentle Giant was foaming at the mouth? The autopsy report read like a drug store inventory sheet. Are we going to see another spate of BLM riots across the country if this doesn't go the way the left thinks it should?

#4 This is definitely not going well for the prosecution. Their case is garbage, their witnesses are clowns.

Wouldn't be totally surprised if the jury acquits.

For sure. St George's Bar mixes one helluva cocktail for Happy Hour (Hoopin' Hour?):

- Methamphetamine
- Fentanyl 4 times the lethal dose!
- Norfentanyl (ditto)
- Cannabinoids
- Amphetamines
- Fentanyl (Metabolite)
- Morphine

#10 They could prove Chauvin absolutely totally innocent and it won't matter. The rioting types don't watch the dailies.

#11 The body is to influence this and future juries into criminal unless proven guilty; everything else is a hydra head.

#13 As I've said before, unless the jury delivers a guilty verdict, with an appropriate sentence(i.e., death), there will be riots.
Of course, if he is convicted and sentenced to death, there will still be riots.
