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%.
A few thousands NG troops in D.C. will look like a platoon size weekend training excursion compared to what they will likely call up.
“ 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 ...
Probably, but there will absolutely be riots no matter what happens
Riot Season coming early this year.
Excuse me...
*BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA*
Erm... Sorry about that.
Would like to see the number broken down by age. The under 21 crowd likely still believes whereas those over 30 know he was moments away from suicide from drugs.
I've not been polled in freaking 40 years...
Sign language...........
Race relations were set back when Obama came on the scene.
He had the BEST opportunity to help in race relations.. and BLEW it. Caused them to be totally worse.
Barry is a asshole gay jackass....
Always will be...always has been....
Took me a second. O.J. verdict reactions, right?
Barry knows that keeping Blacks feel like they are victims is good for his agenda. He purposely tried to make race relations worse. It motivates his people to come out and vote.
Yes
It wasn’t even negligence.
The officer may not be a nice guy, but he did nothing to kill that bug and med help was on the way.
Indeed, like the 3 black teens they side with over the rape accusations from that white woman in New York.
Well, a LEO told me that one should not kneel on a handcuffed person’s neck, but it was certainly not murder, and it was the OD that ultimately cost Floyd his life.
And there was no way the poor rookies were going to question a senior, experienced officer in a tense situation. They didn’t do anything wrong.
Unfortunately their cultural history doesn’t exactly give reasons to believe or trust.....like politicians there’s a pattern.
