I wonder if we dont see plea deals now.

Lots of people said they could have potentially been the worst riots in modern American history if he wasn't guilty. So thankfully we avoided that.

Hopefully Maxine Waters comments didnt screw this up. They shouldn't of course, but the law sees things differently many times that many do not.

Didn't the Republicans try a vote to censure her today and lost?

The jury really only needed to watch the video on day one.

I don't know, feeling those tears flow from every tweet is pretty enjoyable.

You have to think certain bystanders screaming at Chauvin to get off him were tempted to jump in and try to pull him off, but of course they would have been tackled by the other cops.

A very well laid out case from the prosecution. The tape spoke for itself but the witnesses did a good job showing the complete disregard Chauvin had for Floyds’ life. The defense seemed to essentially be “well no one ever told him that kneeling on a guys neck for 9 minutes was a bad thing. And oh ya this Floyd guy wasn’t that nice.”

Chauvin whipped out his mace when a couple of them approached him, yelling at him to get off of Floyd, then Thao moved in to block them.

The video was huge for sure. When other people are yelling at you to stop doing something and you refuse, there is no chance to claim plausible deniability.

Do any of the defense's "expert witnesses" get their expert credentials revoked now? It kind of seems like they should.

And, as the verdict was being read, police in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed a 15-year-old Black girl after she'd phoned police for help, as she was being attacked by 4 other girls.
The legally sanctioned murder of POC goes on.

I know its not popular right now to say wait for the facts prior to passing judgment, but below is all I could find on your story. It's not racist, nor "blue lives matter" , nor anti BLM to simple say that unless you have more evidence, I will wait until passing judgment on this event. I hope more people do the same instead of jumping to conclusions.
What we appear to know: someone called 911 and reported that someone was trying to stab someone, the cops showed up, and the neighbors are reporting a 15 year old black person is dead, along with the hospital reporting that who was taken has died.

https://www.10tv.com/article/news/lo...8-099c105a0f20
If you have a different link with more info, I would invite you to share it as right now, its not an unrealistic conclusion that the deceased was trying to stab people prior to being shot.
