Comments by "Barry On" (@barryon8706) on "Derek Chauvin Sentencing: Probation or 30 YEARS?" video.

I'm going to discount Floyd saying that he couldn't breathe because (1) he was saying it before he was placed on the ground and (2) I've heard people screaming that as they're being arrested, indicating that people do lie about it. But even if he didn't mean to kill Floyd, I think other behavior indicates he showed depraved indifference to the man's life. I wouldn't take Chauvin's heart condition into account at all. I would take into account that it's his first felony. 18.3275 years. But anything from 15 to 30 seems pretty reasonable to me. Probation would be ridiculously light.

@racheld23biscuitsmom42 You're wrong here: "Asking that shooting deaths of overwhelmingly young black men be investigated and eventually prevented is not demonization." Young black men are not overwhelmingly the victims of police shooting deaths. They are disproportionately so, but the majority victims of police shooting are white. You're wrong here, too: "It’s asking that certain races finally be humanized." Young black men disproportionately commit crimes, so you would expect more to be shot by the police. There's nothing dehumanizing in treating young black men like other humans of similar activity. I have to agree with: "asking that a human being, no matter their title, do not kneel on another humans neck until they are dead.. is not unreasonable and it’s certainly not demonizing an entire organization."
