So businesses, property, etc. is more important than a human life.

Is that your argument?

Really?
Lol!! It's right out of a Scooby Doo episode!
I swear some posters theories are giving me a reasonable doubt they even understand the severity of these actions by Mr chauvin. Instead make ludricrous and outlandish remarks.

Interesting.
there is no 'human right' to not die of self-inflicted fentanyl overdoses.

The jury must reach its verdict based on the evidence, & the law.

Otherwise it's a mockery.

What are you talking about?

Floyd didn't die of a Fentany overdose.

P.S. He didn't die of Covid either, though he tested positive for that as well.

Who's life is being saved by rioting and destroying businesses?

I agree. It was ironic that the prosecution was encouraging the jury not to use the evidence and to rely on the viral video to make their decision. I doubt they would say this if the evidence was in their favor.

How many times has the officer seen someone play dead so well that they can stop their pulse?

When Floyd had no pulse, Chauvin chooses to do NOTHING.
