Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of all counts against himin the killing of George Floyd, nearly one year after kneeling on Floyd’s neck in an incident that sparked global protests against police brutality.
After less than 24 hours of deliberations, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Chauvin, finding him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Floyd on May 25, 2020.

“Things haven’t changed very much since 33 A.D”
Times change. Human nature doesn’t.

If you got one drop of slave owner blood...
A human sacrifice for the Big Lie of systemic racism. You can’t hear God’s truth while listening to the devil’s lies. The devil’s lies are all the mob wants to hear.
Still, it is obvious the people in Minnesota have historically been, and still are, weak people.
After the Dakota War, in which the people of Minnesota fought to extirpate the Dakota Tribe, 38 captured native Americans were taken out and executed in the largest mass execution in American history.
Some accounts say the trials for the condemned lasted only five minutes. Now, the panicked verdict of Mr. Chauvin to save their cities from being torched.
Don't be fooled by the comedy routine of Garrison Keillor; Minnesota people really are weak.
Exactly.
If it doesn’t meet all the elements and there is no way a fact finder could reasonably find him guilty.... then yes. But that will happen well after the mob has moved on to another subject and forgotten about this one.
The vacancies will be filled by BLM with their kind of racists.
Three different crimes he is guilty of...this is quite confusing.
Stevie Wonder could have seen that one coming from a mile away.
And lefty leaning ESPN has it posted all over the place despite this having nothing to do with sports.

Dammit, I guess that means now the NBA is going to play.
Sure, he would have died in that 10-minute window. Doubt it. Guess the jury OF 12, didn’t buy that either.
I do think we’ll never see a repeat of this scenario (knelling leg deal) for a cop. The issue going forward will be high profile police shootings that catch national attention.
True. I see no defense they could make for what you said. They should remember their Democrat racists did the lynching for a long, long time. We had to cure America of their venom. Fair, honest trials were supposed to be the long term replacement for angry, emotional mobs.
Some victims (not all!) were blacks. Minnesota (Duluth) on June 5, 1920 featured a lynching murder of six black men and the "postcards of the hanging" were sold all over America for decades. This was the origin of Desolation Row by Bob Dylan.
Article said: By 1908, the trade had grown so large, and the practice of sending postcards featuring the victims of mob murderers had become so repugnant, that the U.S. Postmaster General banned the cards from the mails.
In 2008 a man bought one of the cards for $280 as part of a group of memorabilia.
How can he be convicted of murder(s) (intent to kill) while at the same time, convicted of manslaughter (unintentional homicide).
Either he did it with purpose or not.
Pick one!!
I am expecting massive numbers of early retirements & resignations.
They can become private security because WE ALL will need that.
I wonder what procedures there are for making more neighborhoods GATED???
Get trained & paid to put your life on the line every day & then GET PROSECUTED for doing your job???
Yeah but only the left cares and they don’t regularly watch them anyway.
I assume the rioting and looting is officially postponed until the sentencing. Anything less than beheading at midnight by guillotine will be a sufficient reason to resume with the original plan.
