It is important to note that when white police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the murder of Brother George Floyd by choking him to death, it came as a surprise to many of us who have been following police misconduct regarding blacks for the last 30 years.

Letter from America…..with KENNETH MUFUKA

Derek is the second white police officer ever to have been found guilty of killing a black man. It really does not matter what evidence is brought before white judiciary officers, usually, extenuating circumstances are used as justifiable excuses for the killing of a black man.

This is how the system works.  Brother George, at six feet four inches tall, 250 pounds in weight, as dark as midnight and blessed with thick Negro lips, is regarded as a quintessential boogie man, a threat to every white police officer and to civilisation itself.

Derek’s defence for choking the brother was that he was resisting arrest, was acting up and cutting out and threatening peace and civilisation. Please readers, I am not making this up.

The brother was in handcuffs, lying down with his face on the hot-tarred road and there were three officers in the group.

The reader should revisit this evidence with David Fowler, MD, a South African sinner employed by the Minneapolis police department. This sinner, with the calm countenance of Lucifer, witnessed that Derek was following normal procedures in helping Brother George to find a zone of comfort.

“Are you aware that George’s face was crushed into the pavement?” asked the prosecutor.

Lucifer’s surrogate answered calmly: “Yes Sir!”

“Would that position not inflict pain on George?” asked the prosecutor.

“It might!” answered Lucifer’s surrogate with some pride in his voice and manner.

Brother George cried three times. “I can’t breathe.” George further asked for his beloved mother Larcenia.

Fowler rejected the coroner’s evidence that “a healthy person, subjected to pressure such as Floyd was subjected to, nine minutes and 23 seconds, would have died.”

Fowler contended that George had a tumour in his stomach, had inhaled carbon dioxide from police cars nearby and had injected some amphetamines found in his blood. The cause of death, according to Fowler, was unknown.

The purpose of Fowler’s evidence is to emphasise a well-known narrative that blacks, who are killed by police belong to a class of criminal pests and the killing itself was merely a matter of time as police were trained to face criminal pests with unflinching courage.

To be fair to Fowler, he did not create this narrative. US chief justice Roger Taney wrote the narrative on March 6, 1857 in the case of an escaped African slave Dredd Scott.

“A Negro or a person of African descent is not numbered as a citizen of the United States.” Taney wrote.

While it is true that white opinion towards blacks has become more benevolent, this does not in any way change the reality or the narrative that the black man in the US belongs to a class of people regarded as a nuisance. Taney foresaw this possibility.

“The change in public opinion and feeling in relation to the African race… cannot change the construction and meaning” of this reality.

The defenders of police brutality have another weapon. George’s background creates a heavy criminal shadow. He was accused of passing a counterfeit U$20 bill. He appears to have fallen asleep in his car from some inebriation.

A fellow passenger, Morries Hall, was also under some kind of police warrant for criminal mischief.

Going to press

The above evidence shows that black people are presumed to belong to a race of criminal mischief operatives and in an attempt to treat them with firmness, minor issues easily escalate, leading to shoot-outs.

Even when white officers are found guilty of excessive use of force, the judges are placed in difficult situations. Justice must be tempered with mercy, even if the police officer did not handle himself with any restraint whatever.

Derek has been found guilty, largely because ‘Black Lives Matter’ went into a frenzy of rioting and burning of the city of Minneapolis for 100 days.

There was no hiding of the injustice.

But, the question remains: What exactly was Derek accused and found guilty of?

Murder in the first degree is reserved for evil doers, who go into the post office and shoot people. That is murder, plain and simple.

Derek has been found guilty of murder in the second degree and third degree; both charges can carry a maximum of 45 years, if George was white.

Murder in the third degree is interesting and is much beloved by prosecutors. It is used against drug dealers, who callously “pump” their drugs with potent materials like baking powder, knowing it to be dangerous to those who imbibe it.

To wit, such depraved persons may sell the drug within 1 000 yards of a school premise, mindless of the fact that youthful scholars may buy such drugs.

Derek, if he was a normal person with some religion, would not have placed his knee and the weight of 160 pounds of his body on the neck of George in the face of his remonstrations about failing to breathe.

The judge must now make a determination whether Derek was human, or whether he was a depraved human being.

Fowler has already said that Derek was following procedures permitted by the Minneapolis police training manual.

There is no record of any racial complaint in the 16 years’ experience against Derek.

To blacks, there is a simple explanation. The people who write police reports are the same people, who commit crimes against blacks.

The question now is: What would be the proper punishment for Derek? That is something for the consideration of our readers.
