Derek Chauvin trial

[deezvols]

I mean for the love of Christ, Nancy Pelosi on the verdict:

So again, thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that, call out for your mom, I can't breathe.”​

Wait, she’s glad GF died just so a cop could be put in prison?
Seems like an unfair trade

 

[Orangeburst]

The jury was probably scared shitless to come back with any verdict other than guilty. Again, I think Chauvin went too far(in case you haven't read that), but they were always going to find him guilty IMO. They're probably scared for their lives. Probably scared for their lives no matter which way they ruled, but they knew what the majority wanted. I'm not sure a "fair" trial was ever possible. At least not by jury.

Riots tonight regardless?

It never was.

Idk, he did a photoshoot with a Bible, so he must be Christian....

He held that Bible upside down. It was a photo op. That after Bill Barr ordered the Washington DC federal militia to shoot the peaceful demonstrators with rubber bullets and gassed That was a federal crime against the protestors who were lawfully protesting within their Constitutional right to do so
Brown should be arrested
all this for a Trump photo shoot so his sucker fans could donate another few million to his play money

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Not having to hear about this anymore will be a relief.

This.

 

[Boston Vol]

He’s furious with the verdict????

Your sarcasm meter sux.

In hindsight of course but that’s not fair to say given the situation. How is a cop supposed to know when and when not to listen to bystanders who don’t know the whole situation? I believe 3rd degree fails because the act of restraint wasn’t one of eminent danger. That same position has been used many times without the same result so the move itself isn’t eminently dangerous and that would take 3rd degree off the table. With loose application, which was certainly used here, maybe you stretch your way to 3rd degree but apparently the law was even more loosely applied than that. Hell, what if murder 1 had been on the table? I’m sure they would’ve found some way to back into that too. When you have the POTUS and other politicians saying what the outcome should be then how could law be applied without prejudice?

It's been several months since I read Minnesota's third degree definition. I'll have to go back and reread, but at the time, I recall thinking it reasonable. I absolutely think Chauvin did wrong, I'm just not sure how they reached the charges they did based on legal definition.

The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have been waging an intense 35 year competition to see who can get closest to the cameras in moments such as this... Al appears to be a little quicker these days. That weight loss has paid dividends, I guess.

Yes, but the camera used to not have a choice but to be closer to Big Al. You knew that the 2 OG Race Hustlers wouldn’t miss their camera time.

And this is what is happening.........retirements, early retirements, and 2 week notices have skyrocketed. Some of the bigger agencies here in Florida have stopped accepting retirement paperwork and are spacing them out as they try and recruit new officers........the problem is no one wants to be one anymore as they see the way policing is going and the funds/pay are in jeopardy of being stripped. Most agencies are super short, no officer is being proactive causing crime to soar, and the proverbial "you get what you pay for" is coming into play as it pertains to new officers. When I started you had to have a degree, no legal issues, upstanding citizen, etc, etc and there would be a pool of 500 guys for about 5 to 6 spots. Now they are out recruiting and begging any breathing body to take the job..........its about to get bad guys.......real bad.

The leftist commies are playing the long game to nationalize the police forces and your statement supports their efforts to replace the current personnel with ones loyal to their cause. Same thing is happening to the military.

 

[BreatheUT]

Exactly why I hate the 2nd degree part. Now anytime an officer puts hands on someone you can scream assault and get away with it. This is a very dangerous and stupid precedent to set.

I had a friend make the point Floyd was incapacitated so it was excessive and could've raised to the level of assault because of it. I'm not sure the jurors were thinking that.

 

[Orangeburst]

So the MSM is calling for injustice already, in what is apparent a severe conviction, but not enough accordingly?

 

[GreyWolf1129]

He intended to cause him pain or at least discomfort and didn't even stop once he was dead. He knew what he was doing

He's going to have a lot of time to make some new black friends

Way to keep it classy, pj.

Maybe Freak can bring on Maxine or one of the Squad next...

 

[Weezer]

Where are our lawyers? Was a bench trial ever an option in this case? Just not sure how you escape the realization that the jury pool was tainted, and was always destined to be tainted. Media coverage of this guaranteed that from the very beginning.

Harris speaking, almost fell off her step at the podium.

 

[PointGuard]

Reason I say white is because if a black cop did the same thing he would have never seen the inside of a courtroom

Right he would be lynched on the spot

 

[BreatheUT]

One of his fellow policemen suggested he take his knee off his neck and Chauvin persisted. When Chauvin was later told that Floyd no longer had a pulse by his fellow policemen he still persisted.

Guess you missed that.

Forgot about that caveat. Been a while since I even looked at the video. That was damning and did show arrogance.

And they’re still going to convict the other guy as well. “Justice”

 

[VolnJC]

I think she blocked me long ago but I haven’t blocked her. I don’t believe in blocking people unless they’re personally harassing. Everyone has a right to their opinion and I just don’t respond or don’t read it if I don’t like it.

I don't block ppl who have differing opinions but some are just trolls and try to stir it up

 

[BreatheUT]

Speaking for what? They continue acting like low rung SJW. A continuation of the Obama policy.

I guess she ain't doing anything positive or smart for the country so she might as well use her free time.

 

[Tastylicks]

It was a great day for America

 

[MG1968]

Right he would be lynched on the spot

By who?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

A bad cop is going to prison after justice was served In court. What’s the BFD with the outrage on both sides?

 

[BreatheUT]

Trump is an Atheist so if he said he prayed for anything he would be lying...

Are you for real?

Who's the new guy?
