It’s really too bad Maxine Waters came here and stirred it up even more? It’s bad enough already!

I have not been following the case but the accusers have to prove without a shadow of doubt that Chauvin's actions alone Killed Floyd, how is that possible? Did Chauvin contribute to Floyds death, immaterially in my opinion. Floyd died because of his heart condition and all the drugs in his system. Floyd was foaming at the mouth, behaving erratic and claiming he could not breath well before Chauvin had him on the ground. Still, Chauvin will be found guilty of something. The state only had to prove that Chauvin contributed to Floyd's death per the definition of the law per the judge. Chauvin's attorney stated otherwise in his closing arguments and it was objected to by the prosecution. Then the judge re-told the juries to ignore what the lawyers have to say about the laws and to listen to only the judge on those matters.
I was very surprised with how little the prosecutors needed to prove in this case. Intent did not matter. Pretty much just that Floyd died while in custody and that Chauvin used excessive force was all that was needed for a conviction. If Chauvin and co. had gotten off of Floyd when they didn't find a pulse then he probably would not have been guilty of anything.
Mistrial likely. Not sure if that means a do-over or a free man.
Hopefully I'll be living in SD when there are riots over this verdict being overturned.

After watching a lot of the trial I agreed with the verdicts. This after having a view like many of you had and still have post trial. I hope the BLM tames down after this “win” that’s likely to get appealed. The problem I see is that they’ll expect every cop shooting to end with a murder conviction now and we all know that won’t be the case. Prime example is the Duante Wright killing.

I didn’t watch any of the trial and I didn’t watch any news on that trial or anything else for that matter anymore. My take is this cop or the other two never set out that day to kill a black guy or any guy for that matter. Should he be punished? Yep. But 3 counts of murder? For trying to do your job? This cop was fucked from the get go by the establishment but don’t put your knee on a guys throat for 7 minutes straight so you aren’t judged by the establishment. We will now see lawlessness like never before and criminals knowing they won’t need to comply with police. You will see the collapse of the city of mpls as the Criminals take over worse then they already have. You will see a commercial real estate collapse like never before. Just watch.
