Aphasic 4,033 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell’s closing statement to the jurors: “You were told … that Mr. Floyd died because his heart was too big … and the truth of the matter is that the reason George Floyd is dead is because Mr. Chauvin’s heart was too small.” https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/derek-chauvin-trial-george-floyd-death-closing-statements-2021-04-19/ I would be beyond disbelief, upset, mad, sad, furious, if former policeman Chauvin is found Not Guilty. Floyd deserved better, Black people deserve better, minorities deserve better, STOP Police Brutality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werk 13,166 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 What does that even mean?! Like is heart too small supposed to be figuratively for Chauvin being an evil person or is it literally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's figurative, he didn't care what he was doing to George & that heartlessness resulted in his death. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grinch's heart was 2 sizes too small. Then after learning his lesson, his heart grew 3 sizes in one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick615 12 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 it’s also a habit for white men on trial to somehow gain sympathy for irreversible actions they bring upon themselves....these offices are fully cognizant of the weight of their decisions. The reason why a lot of this keeps cycling is because it is now understood through years of desensitizations and trauma **** that we expect the narrative of “minority treated terribly by law enforcement.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is heart too small supposed to be figuratively for Chauvin being an evil person or is it literally? girl why would the prosecutor know if his heart was physically too small? which doesn’t have anything to do with our emotions or feelings or how we treat others?

The question of the trial and what everyone of color already thinks... Would Chauvin have applied that kind of pressure and restraint on a white man? BLM is saying that Chauvin and other police like him view black people as less than.... like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.
