Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of all counts against himin the killing of George Floyd, nearly one year after kneeling on Floyd’s neck in an incident that sparked global protests against police brutality.

After less than 24 hours of deliberations, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Chauvin, finding him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Floyd on May 25, 2020.

This jury doesn't give a hoot about guilt or innocence. All they care about is the safety and wellbeing of their own posteriors. The threat of violence works wonders. The right ought to take a few pages out of the left's playbook.

Mob Rule

Burn down the internet.

This sets a dangerous precedence. Find someone guilty or we’ll riot. And there are rumors the jury was afraid for their lives if they DID NOT find him guilty ...

At which point, Democrats have endorsed lynch mobs.

The whole thing was a travesty.

He'll be dead within a year. Protective custody won't help him any more than it helped Jeffrey Dahmer,Jeffrey Epstein or Whitey Bulger.

This will be appealed.

And a mob educated by the public school system. It’s 1790s France now.

All cops nationwide should consider resigning. It’s a thankless job. No one has their back.

To be expected. The justice system is broken.

It’ll be our turn, soon...

That is what is called “social justice”.
Some of your ancestors did it to us, so we’re going to do it to you.

Chauvin should sue. It was proven in court that he was kneeling on Floyd's shoulder blade.

What do you expect from a kangaroo court.

The summer is young. There will be plenty to riot about. You will see.

[T.B. Yoits]

Some of your ancestors did it to us, so we’re going to do it to you.

They know that's a lie because very few Americans alive today had ancestors who owned slaves and they also know that many black Americans owned slaves.

Things haven't changed very much since 33 A.D.

sucks to be him.

[kenmcg]

A cowardly jury, no reason to find him guilty on all three counts. Chauvin has a big target on his back.

Might as well have had Judge Freisler overseeing the trial.
