What a difference a year makes — and two billion dollars in destroyed property by leftist rioters!
Jury selection began this week in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin over the May 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
A new USA Today/Ipsos Poll found that today only 36% believe George Floyd’s death was murder — that number is down from 60% last year.
As Jack Posobiec reported the coroner’s report found George Floyd suffered no life threatening injuries. He was high on drugs at the time.
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on George Floyd’s death. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/trial-next-week-will-jury-find-george-floyd-died-drug-overdose-not-approved-minneapolis-police-procedure/
USA Today reported:
Americans’ trust in the Black Lives Matter movement has fallen and their faith in local law enforcement has risen since protests demanding social justice swept the nation last year, according to an exclusive USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll.
The debate over the intersection of racism and policing will be in the spotlight again as jury selection opens Monday in the Minneapolis trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, which sparked nationwide marches last year.
The survey finds complicated and shifting views about Chauvin’s actions and broader questions of race. On many issues, there is a chasm in the perspective between Black people and white people.
Last June, 60% in a USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll described Floyd’s death as murder; that percentage has now dropped by double digits to 36%. Uncertainty has grown about how to characterize the incident, caught on video, when Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck and ignored his protests that he couldn’t breathe. Last year, 4% said they didn’t know how to describe it; that number has climbed to 17%.
Great question for a Zen master.
Next is "what is the sound of one hand clapping?"
Leftists push that all blacks are the targets of secret plans by police to murder them if they can get away with it. Preposterous but pushed by the academics and media.
The only opinions that matter are the nine adults in the jury box.
He was not murdered. Negligence for someone’s life, but not murder.
Doesn’t matter. The trial was scheduled so it would end during warm weather so the riots would be stronger and last longer.
If it’s “guilty,” there will be riots, stores will be looted and destroyed, innocent Whites will be attacked and Minneapolis will descend into pre-civilization barbarism. Whites will be branded all “racist” and there will be calls for reparations.

The racism market is in sell mode about time.
Despite the corrupt media’s efforts to hide it, the word has gotten out that Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.
Watch for a Biden gun confiscation bill to be passed by congress before a George Floyd jury is empaneled. Large mobs are expected in the street and they will riot regardless of the outcome, but especially if the office is acquitted.
Didn't slay a dragon but probably chased it a time or two.
We're just waiting for the pseudo-pontiff to beatify the addict before his death's political capital expires.
Yes, there will be more riots, if he’s found not guilty.
Well they’re real good at burning down and destroying their own communities........
What the racist / communist / marxist / blm / aunty fa / hate America crowd will inevitably do will make last year's riots across the country look like the Rodney King riot.
74% are RACIST!
LOL.
Lemme guess who the remaining 36% are... liberal black folks, liberals In general, and young college age know-it-alls that hate authority and hate cops.
They can’t! You can test this yourself by briefly cutting off your air and trying to speak. You can somewhat talk, but you absolutely can’t speak distinctly and clearly. Ike George did the whole time he was being restrained. Your chest will also not be going up and down like George’s was as he was breathing the whole time, nor will you be heard on audio breathing fine like George was as heard on audio.
There are several videos and audio from all angles, and you can clearly see and hear George breathing just fine, even after he passes out from the drugs as the drugs are in the process of killing him
You’re not going to get twelve to convict. Too many other factors reducing certainty.
The mob on the street will not be able to understand this.
It really wasn’t because of him. Race relations are set back because of the agenda of the home crowd and their supporters who all blew this routine drug overdose story into a narrative that cops are murderous racists in a system where systemic racism runs rampant... DESPITE the fact that only two unarmed black folks were shot a d killed all last year by cops unjustifiable, and the cops in those 2 incidents were indicted and convicted. 54 cops meanwhile ,out their lives last year defending all communities and all races, but. Y golly, it’s the cops that are racist according to the racist blm movement
Prediction: Guilty because the jury is afraid of getting fixed if they don’t and because they don’t want to be deemed racists and responsible for the rioting and burning that will follow anything other than a murder conviction.
We all know this, right?
Damn autocorrect. That’s DOXXED not fixed.
If it’s “guilty,” there will be riots, stores will be looted and destroyed, innocent Whites will be attacked and Minneapolis will descend into pre-civilization barbarism. Whites will be branded all “racist” and there will be calls for reparations.

All that poison is already flowing in this country's bloodstream.
And because that's where we find ourselves already....
When the widespread riots happen, and they will, Xiden and the anchor baby non-natural Born Citizen "woman of color" will either tread lightly with the rioters, which will of course lead to more police departments themselves having to tread lightly which will lead to more police leaving their jobs and yet more riots.
Or, if Xiden and the anchor baby non-natural Born Citizen "woman of color" choose to try to put on a strong show against the inevitable anarchy....that will naturally lead the barbarians at the gate to riot even further.
The poison has been allowed to spread.
Sure looks like a tipping point of some magnitude is setting up to play out this year when the jury is in and the weather warms...
And 13% believed OJ was innocent
