DailyKenn.com — Actor and social justice warrior George Clooney reportedly sent an email to the legal team representing George Floyd in the Dereck Chauvin trial.
Clooney apparently suggested the Floyd attorney challenge Chauvin to “volunteer during his case to get down on the floor in that courtroom, and let somebody come and put their knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and be able to see if he can survive.”
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
Clooney may be aware that YouTuber Steven Crowder actually did that. And survived. As expected, Crowder's demonstration was panned as somehow racist. The demonstration begins at about 1:16:00 in the video:

He says ‘Attorney Crump, you should tell them if Derek Chauvin feels so confident in that, he should volunteer during his case to get down on the floor in that courtroom, and let somebody come and put their knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and be able to see if he can survive,’” Mr Crump said.
A representative for the actor and director confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that he had been in email contact with Mr Crump.
Addressing panelist and host Joy Behar, Mr Crump added: “The experts will opine during this case that the average human being can go without oxygen from 30 seconds to 90 seconds — where George Floyd went without oxygen for over 429 seconds, and that’s why it was intentional what this officer did.”
