The cops are going to walk free. Get your popcorn ready.

Man you lefties have a hard time with reality and really like to twist the facts. There is zero logic in your post. Floyd resisted arrest every second of the encounter. If someone is fighting with you while at the same time saying he can’t breath how seriously are you going to take him?! He asked to be placed on the ground.

If Chauvin doesn't get major jail time, you can look forward to more riots - ones that will make the 1992 Rodney King riots look very tame.

All of this rioting and violence, all because of some loser drug addict who died of a drug overdose while in police custody?

If the police and national guard are allowed to actually do their jobs, then riots won't happen.

This is a good post. I think it’s idiotic how some canonize Floyd, but trashing him in his death and ignoring the cop’s indifference to his well being is just heartless. I don’t have to agree with everything this man did to recognize that the police mishandled this interaction and showed callous disregard for his well being during this interaction.

With the whole video we can put certain things into context and it shows it in a different light, but the point still stands that while Chauvin was kneeling on his neck someone should’ve told him to let up and check on his well being during that time.

If they stick with the fentanyl overdose defense, it will go badly. It’s just not a viable argument. I wrote earlier, and I’ll repeat it now: fentanyl overdose cases are very distinctive and any well-trained cop would recognize one and know to administer Narcan. If they stick with this defense, it will look like a case of depraved indifference. This is not a good time to try that one before a jury.

DA overcharged. They blew it.
Yep. I want him charged with murder. Exactly. That’s what I want.

And if he’s found not guilty and he’s released, I want street retribution.

Now maybe his kids have a chance.
This is ironically true. That family won the lottery.

$14.7 million Jesus Christ. Who said crime doesn’t pay?
