Every cop in Minneapolis should quit. Let the George Floyds of the world manage your community.
Honestly stunned speechless.
There is no way a community can have a police force if Chauvin was found guilt on all these charges.
It literally is the most insane thing I've ever experienced outside of 9/11.
Its just insane.
Pretty much what I expected given the riots, media coverage and the way the judge handled the trial. He was probably guilty of something, but murder, I have my doubts about that. I see a mistrial coming, especially if it goes before another judge.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
I'm pretty close to that myself. It's confusing to me how meth + fentanyl + heart disease/75-90% blockage of coronary arteries + his own choice to fight the cops does not equal reasonable doubt that the cops caused Floyd's death. I can't help but feel that the jury agreed that one man's life was not worth the elevated risk to themselves and the community from the virtually guaranteed rioting if he was acquitted. If that's what it was, then I can understand their motivation, but ugh, that's not the world I want to be living in.
The jury knew what would have happened if they didn't convict. Have a whole country burn or send a cop to the pen? I think that was an easy decision for them.

I am not sure what the defense expert knew or did not know about the hybrid vehicle, but it became relevant, and a prosecution expert testified about it at a time when the defense expert was on his way back home and unavailable to comment further. It is possible that the prosecutor did not realize it was relevant, but the defense is entitled to ALL information in the hands of the prosecution.
