Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin arrested in George Floyd case

In case you missed it.

Murder 3 and Manslaughter.

Going for the layup rather than risk letting him walk on Murder One.

More favoritism towards government employees.

Remember George Brown.

Remember Treyvon Martin.

Remember Freddy Grey.

Remember Rodney King, which is what this case most reminds me of.

A video without context. Cops who followed departmental policy to the letter.

Politicians who wanted to make political hay of the event.

A rush to judgement, vindication in the first trial, then conviction in federal court, all to satisfy the mob.

We need to follow due process, allow the evidence to be gathered, hear from both sides and all witnesses.

Video, and the narrative given to it often lies.

We should never become the electronic lynch mob, which is what is going on here, the worst I have ever seen it.
