Stop lying. Stop insulting our intelligence. I may have been born yesterday, but I wasn't born in the past 15 minutes. I'm an adult. I know when I'm being conned. Here's what really happened at the Derek Chauvin trial: A guilty man was railroaded.
I'm no fan of that former police officer. He's clearly a bad guy, a bully. When he had his knee on George Floyd's neck, he passed the line no cop should ever pass.
On the other hand, George Floyd was no hero. He was a lifelong criminal. When he died, he had just committed a crime and resisted arrest, and his body was filled with fentanyl. I have no sympathy for criminals, or drug addicts. And I always support cops. I appreciate the courage it takes to do their job. I think cops are heroes. So, it pains me to say that Derek Chauvin went too far that day.
But stop lying. Stop saying, "justice was done." Stop calling it a fair trial. It was more like a Soviet show trial. There was nothing fair about it. The verdict was clearly determined by the Black Lives Matter movement and the liberal media before the trial ever started. It wasn't based on justice; it was based on mob justice.
That jury was always going to convict Derek Chauvin of all charges, because it was THEIR lives on the line. They knew that if were to acquit Chauvin or convict him of lesser charges, they might never make it home, or the courthouse may have burned down with them inside it, or they might have had to leave the courthouse wearing bulletproof vests and be escorted home by a SWAT team and the National Guard.
Had they not convicted Chauvin, by the time they made it home, their names and addresses would have been leaked. An outraged President Biden would have made it clear they were all evil people, racists and white supremacists. Black celebrities would have tweeted out their photos. Angry, violent mobs would have surrounded their homes.
And, of course, America would have burned. Minneapolis would look like Hiroshima right now. So would New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and most major cities.
Their lives would effectively be over. Best-case scenario, none of them would ever work again. No company could afford to keep them employed. Their children's lives at school would be ruined. They would need police cars stationed outside their homes day and night. They'd never be safe again.
Sorry, but that's not a fair trial. Derek Chauvin, bully or not, bad guy or not, guilty or not, never had a fair shot.
If all of that wasn't enough to poison the well, Rep. Maxine Waters made sure everyone knew the country would be burned down with her approval. Then, President Biden all but announced he was praying for a guilty verdict. Not too much pressure on the jurors, huh?
No, folks, those jurors did not base the verdict on evidence or justice. They were fighting for their survival. They were trying to avoid the third rail and being tarred and feathered.
Chauvin should now have the best grounds in history for an appeal to overturn his conviction, but no judge would ever overturn it, for the exact same reasons.
This is America in 2021. Mob justice rules. Police officers can't do their jobs. They have to be paralyzed with fear. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't. They must be afraid to get out of their cars. It's no surprise they're retiring and quitting in record numbers. They know no police officer will be able to get a fair trial ever again.
The next time you call the police in an emergency, understand why the officers may not be coming: There may not be any left.
Lost me at the lie about his knee on his neck. It was very well established it was on his back
The upcoming trials of the other officers with Chauvin and the woman officer (Potter) who mistakenly used her gun versus taser will be the real tests of the system.
Prediction: The Dems and their racist allies like BLM and Antifa want any excuse for a riot. They should probably get it with these upcoming trials. Potter should not be charged at all under existing laws and policies.
He died of a fentanyl overdose.
His fentanyl O.D. caused pulmonary edema. His heart gave out because it couldn’t pump against the increased resistance.
End of story.
Heard the judge said the jurors’ names will be released in 6 months. Why?
But it is *not* the whole country.
It is only those areas controlled by Democrats.
It is also their weakness. Most people in those areas do *not* want the anarchy being imposed from the top down.
A guilty man was railroaded...by being found guilty?
LOL! Poor choice of words.
As a political prisoner, he was railroaded by being denied a fair trial.
That is CORRECT. His knee was on his shoulder blade NOT his neck.........Watch the video here that the LYING MARXIST Media will NEVER show:

Seems like maybe that judge should be on trial for a few things.
His defense was weak at best.
I did not watch the entire trial—I doubt a lot of people did.
But there is a misconception about what “Justice” means. I suggest people look up the meaning of the word. The word is tossed around like a beach ball. But the wrong meaning has been assigned.
Juror #96 Lisa Christensen: “I did see the ($27 mil) settlement running across the bottom of the screen one day. I didn’t want to go through this whole rioting and destruction again and [I was] concerned about people outside my house if they weren’t happy with the verdict.”
When he had his knee on George Floyd's neck...
You first, Root.
“Seems like maybe that judge should be on trial for a few things.”
The judge is a former staffer of Amy Klobuchar.
Sure looks like he's kneeling on Floyd's neck to me.
Chauvin is guilty of being a dirtbag, but not guilty of murder
But, you believe the narrative and see only what they want you to see.
You are gullible to the propaganda and are supporting the Africanization narrative
Wayne Allyn Root is not as smart as he thinks he is.
Get real.
EVERYTHING Chauvin did at that scene complied with the Minneapolis Police Manual and with hundreds of other Police Manuals.
Police have used that hold thousands of times before, and no one has ever died that I know about.
The officers used excessive force on Floyd because their Police Manual explicitly states that if a hostile crowd is gathering at an arrest scene, the officers must remove the suspect as quickly as possible.
The knee-neck hold Chauvin used is explicitly described in the Police Manual, and all officers are given training in using it.
If Floyd had not swallowed his illegal drugs, he would be alive today.
If Floyd had not resisted arrest, he would have received emergency drug overdose treatment 10 minutes sooner, and he might have lived.
