Woman accused of running over George Floyd protester found NOT GUILTY of assault

A Denver jury found a woman accused of hitting a person with her SUV during a 2020 George Floyd protest not guilty of assault.

The jury did find her guilty of a misdemeanor reckless driving charge.

"On the evening of May 28, 2020, my client was just trying to get home, driving a route she took regularly, when she was diverted by protesters at the intersection of East Colfax and Broadway. She was alone in her car with her dog when she was surrounded by people who began kicking and hitting her car and taunting and yelling at her. While stopped, Mr. Max Bailey jumped up onto the hood of her car and her windshield was smashed in two places. She was terrified and fearful for her safety," Watson’s lawyers said last year in a statement.

The verdict comes after some Republican governors have signed or pushed for anti-rioting legislation, including in Florida where Gov. Ron DeSantis touted that he enacted the country’s "strongest anti-rioting" law.

The Florida law grants civil immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road, and also makes it more difficult for local governments to strip funding from law enforcement, and prevents accused rioters from bailing out of jail until after their first court appearance.

Good. Well, good on the not guilty of assault part. The moment the idiot jumped on her car, he was taking his life in his own hands.

Another no-knock warrant gone bad. No way in hell no-knock warrants should be legal under the Constitution. People will argue the erosion of the first or second amendment but continue to ignore the erosion of the fourth.

A 12-year-old was Killed by Police, But He's White So No Protests or Riots

Thomas Siderio Jr., 12, was shot and killed by Philadelphia police on March 2.

According to reports, he was fleeing police when he was shot in the back. Typically, such a story would be front-page news. There would be national outrage, widespread media coverage, protests, and riots. Except, in this case, the 12-year-old victim was white.

Because of Siderio’s race — most people shot by the police are white, by the way — you most likely haven't heard about this incident. Thomas Siderio Jr. will not be a nationally recognized name. Such is the case anytime there are white victims of police shootings. If the truth were reported, it would shatter the fallacy that blacks are the victims of a systemically racist, white supremacist U.S. police force.

Is everything you read this slanted? "but he's white so no protests or riots", yeah also because he was shooting at cops and wasn't choked to death while already detained. This has nothing to do with George Floyd

Lol “choked to death”. Also still waiting for you to answer my question from before…
do you believe it’s acceptable to physically assault someone over simply being called a name?
