The vacancies will be filled by BLM with their kind of racists.

That isn't a possibility it is reality. In the areas where antifa/blm has taken over the cities that has already happened. They simply chased the police out of their ghettos.

Politicians at the highest level have thrown cops under the bus. Why would anyone take a life or death job where they have to make split second decisions then be second guessed and sacrificed months later?

No, they don’t. The British who were often wrong, were 100% correct in their assessment of the French revolution. I regard it really as the first communist revolution. And the only one really driven by mob rule for an extended length of time. Exactly where America is going I’m afraid to say. There is no way cops are going to be enthusiastic about getting a black assailant into their car.

Blacks and whites should be segregated in my view. I am Asian in case you wonder. So unfortunate they live together.

What do you expect from a kangaroo court.

So, will the jurors be driving new Cadillacs or did they hold out for houses in the Hamptons?

PD recruiting all over the country just became MUCH harder. It is going to be very hard to retain good cops anywhere in the country now. We are rapidly descending into complete lawlessness and anarchy.

Martha whatshername on Fox News said this afternoon (quoting as closely as I can remember): ‘...that horrible 9-minute tape of Mr. Chauvin grinding his knee into the back of George Floyd’s neck....’

That’s our ‘conservative’ network we rely on to be fair and balanced. Lolz.

They get to keep their lives, their families survive, and their homes will not be burned down. They voted for self-preservation and not any justice.

Plenty of error for an appeal, as well as a new venue for another trial.

Sure, he would have died in that 10-minute window. Doubt it. Guess the jury OF 12, didn’t buy that either.

That's my feeling too. I think this is the wrong hill to make our stand on.

Sucks to be any white cop these days.

My white cop son just retired, with the minimum amount of years service to do it.

Keep in mind there are three or four other cops awaiting trial....at least two of which are people of color.

There were two black cops in ATL last summer who were arrested for attempted murder for having the audacity to taze a black girl who refused to exit her car. Apparently, following the direction of a law enforcement officer is now wholly discretionary irrespective of the color of the cop’s skin.

CW2 is going to be the cities against the suburbs.

Do you mean the suburban Conservatives with their 10 million guns that we've been threatening the left with for the past decade?
