s: JURY HAS REACHED VERDICT IN FORMER MINNEAPOLIS POLICEMAN DEREK CHAUVIN'S MURDER TRIAL -COURT
Fine by me I live In a low crime area and mostly everyone here is a gun owner. The hood however might miss actual police doing their jobs. 🤷♂️
How does one get charged and convicted 3 times for 1 act?
‘Once the mob has lost interest, there will be an opportunity to examine the case and have more level heads have a say.’
I don’t think so; everybody, saner heads included, just want this thing to go away...
I feel badly for Chauvin, and I think he is truly sorry for what happened...
Disagree. It was a no win situation. The judge should have moved the trial and sequestered the jury.
Maybe the jury went with overkill in terms of finding Chauvin guilty on all three counts as a kind of “F*ck You!” to the system, the press, politicians, BLM, or all of the above.
They felt they had no choice but to find him guilty of something to prevent riots, so they found him of guilty of everything to drive that point home.
Scott Adams suggested about a week ago that the jury should find Chauvin guilty and then come out with a statement that they felt Chauvin was not guilty based on the evidence but found him guilty only to save the lives of their families and to keep the Twin Cities from burning.
Here come Celebriots!
This will be appealed and Chauvin will end up with manslaughter.
Today is the beginning, not the end of this case.
By the time it’s over, no one will be paying attention.
That idiot Muslim AG started all of this, when he saaid at the gitgo he wanted to go for second degree murder. I for one, think the idiot died from ingesting Fentanyl, and not cooperating with the Police, not that the police intended to kill the idiot.
Unfortunately. At this point anyone who advocates for riots will be shut down by the ones who don’t want their victory party turn violent.
Personally I don’t believe the criminal charges were proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I DO believe they were proven sufficiently for CIVIL liability preponderance of evidence standard. The jury was not willing to even debate the difference so the appeals process will go forward while Mr. Chauvin spends his first of MANY nights in the jail he put others in.
I guess they want it all contained to one thread. Probably smart since tensions are high
And it’s a great excuse to loot big screen TVs.
Me too.
The rest of Western Civilization died today. Slain by the Democrat Party.
2020 The Constitution was the first victim of the Democrat Party.
The Right to a Fair and Impartial Trial was the second victim murdered by the Democrat Party.
Most people in the United States do not know what happened today.
Even fewer even care what happened.
Minneapolis is now the Berkley of the mid west.
They’d be killed for that statement anyway.

Chauvin bail revoked, heading to jail
Your trouble is that you posted it in Breaking News.
Breaking News is just for FReepathon threads and old Sunday Morning Talk show threads.
“It was pure common sense for the duration of the trial and any other verdict would have been shocking. Justice has been served and an evil and inhumane POS cop is off the streets.”
Chauvin was already off the street. He was fired the day after Floyd’s death.
If a healthy adult male is held down for that length of time with knee on neck...would they die?
They weren’t sequestered???? Ugh!
