Derek Chauvin Trial

zuesthe cop was a douche but having fentanyl in your system isn't a good look. This dude was arrested like 20 something times. At some point your luck will run out dealing with the pigs.

hdubsNO RIOTS LETS GOOOOOOO

snowfinderhaven't you been arrested a bunch of time?

goofygoober0104that's the thing you're celebrating?

BrandoComandoGuilty on all 3 charges too. Wow. Derek Chauvin could spend the rest of his life in prison. For the sake of this case and for the sake of unity in this country, I think the Jury made the right call.

CaseyThe police fucked up big time letting that girl leave with her cell phone. They could have just killed her too and taken it no one would have ever known any different

r00kie'Unity of the country' is not something a jury should have to worry about. I bet the defense appeals becuase of the threats of violence if the verdict went the other way. I don't think it matters cause a new jury would face all the same if not more pressure.

BrandoComandoChauvin was getting convicted regardless of the media coverage. The prosecution accused him of three levels of murder. If he was found innocent of Second-Degree, he could still be guilty of Third-Degree. If Third-Degree didn't work out, there was Manslaughter. It was pretty clear after the defense that he was going to be convicted. We just didn't know whether it was one, two, or all three charges.

I don't know why my opinion was controversial. I'm pretty damn glad there hasn't been a negative response to the case results. The LA riots and certain pockets of the BLM movement proved how destructive riots can be. I truly believe the Jury made the right decision regardless of outside circumstances.

That being said, Maxine Waters fucked up big time. Politicians need to stay the fuck out of judicial cases.

r00kieI'm not going to comment on whether I agree with the verdict or not, it not my place and it's above my pay grade. However, you mention the jury making the right choice for the unity of the country. In order for due process to work as intended, a jury must be able to look a case without concern for the outside world such as 'unity.' The facts of the case are the only factors that should matter. But as I said before, a re-trial will only be worse for that.

zuesMaybe of they would have killed her police murdered would like reach a 10th of a percent of the people who murder eachother daily in Chicago.

r00kieOf all the bad takes that could have been made in this thread, this is worse than I could have imagined.

DolansLebensraumI hope chauvin goes on a diet before prison.

hes gotta make room for the 1500 black cocks that are about to take up residence in his colon.

BrandoComandoDid you have a stroke?

BrandoComandoI agree with that completely. The Jury shouldn't be responsible for how others react. My wording in my original comment wasn't clear enough

zuesI just find it funny when we’re angry at cops but no one cares about other people killing each other which happens on a daily basis. I ate so I’m calm again. My bad.

rubberpantaloonsbad take, doesnt mean he should die under the knee of a kook regardless of his drug usage.

Bringing this bad boy to the next city I burn down

zueshave a sense of humor. Sheesh. It's the fucking internet

snowfinderhow does it feel being on the losing side of everything?

zuesHow does it feel to take the internet seriously you fucking square.

zuesWasn’t the whole point of this trial to figure out if it was the knee or the fentanyl that killed him. Welcome to the conversation dumbass.

AndrewGravesSVThis exactly, cops shouldn't kill people and should try to deescalate situations. Not a hot take. The fact there are all these mental gymnastics after the fact to justify the murder is bullshit. I can't go choke someone to death and then justify it because they had lung cancer saying "it might've just been the cancer that killed them". The drug use aspect is a conservative talking point meant to demonize any drug user to prop up justification for the war on drugs. Equivalating drug use to a moral failing deserving of punishment by death is insane.

I don't understand how you could have seen the video or read the body cam transcripts and think the fentanyl killed George Floyd. He literally said he couldn't fucking breathe 20 times, and when one of the other officers showed a bit of a conscience and suggested rolling him over Chauvin said no. Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd and that is a fact under law now.

The media narrative is exhausting and super cherry picked to emphasize the racial aspect within the problems of policing in America. We don't really have a free press in our country and thats looking at ALL the networks. Fox is straight propaganda for the GOP and MSNBC is biased crap for liberals wanting to be outraged but nothing more. Trump saying fake news had a lot of validity to it, but people turning to Fox as the only reliable source is fucking laughable. Where our press fails is where the blame never really falls on how broken our system is itself. Right now, left wing news outlets are capitalizing on the energy of social justice groups to push this as a race issue and cherry picking stories to fit that narrative. They don't include all the facts to better generate outrage, but it seems disingenuous and leaves a lot of talking points for conservative media to spin. It only serves to divide people from pointing fingers at the system as a whole.

There have only been 7 police officers, including Chauvin, convicted of murder while on duty since 2005. Around 1000 people each year are killed by police. Do you really think that all of those killings were completely justified? Without even going into the race aspect of it all, I think that everyone should be pissed about that. For a rich country, our police sure do seem to kill a ton of citizens and not be held accountable.

Charlie_KellyI agree with everything you said here except calling Fox propaganda for the right and MSNBC playing to liberal bias. I’d say, if anything, CNN is literally propaganda for the left (caught admitting it by Project Veritas). So any spin Fox puts on something CNN does on the other side of the spectrum. The fact that they have been caught on camera admitting this and the only repercussions is Project Veritas getting permanently banned from Twitter is absolutely wild.




Other than that, well said.

zuesand i've complied. Not that difficult.

BigPurpleSkiSuitThey'll appeal i bet, probably based on undue influence on the jury since Minneapolis would have burned
