Even if Floyd was a thug, his thuggery was ended in a manner that society does not allow. Police are not empowered to use summary execution simply because they determine someone is a bad person.
It’s not if, he was.
Should’ve complied, not resisted, stayed away from drugs, etc..., and he’d likely still be alive.
Criminals kill innocent people everyday. So much remorse should be shown to those as folks as what’s shown for a thug like Floyd.
I'm so sorry the Floyd family was put through what they had to deal with, but I'm glad that at least some justice was served.
Every single person who I know and have discussed this with, across the political spectrum, think what Chauvin did was awful and far beneath what a human being should ever do.
For the people who who seem to be taking glee in Floyd's death, something is really off with their conscience.
The choice was simple. Send Chauvin to jail for the rest of his life on a trumped up charge, or watch every urban liberal cesspool burn to the ground in the next 30 days. Then again, the losers may still try to burn it all down anyway.
Yep and not only is it a tainted national jury pool caused by not prosecuting and judging democrat race rioters, so does only prosecuting and persecuting white and conservative rioters.
The jury wasn't just concerned about riots but their own personal well being of being persecuted for not doing what democrats want done. Not voting guilty could conceivably get you economically and socially blacklisted.
I didn't say that they voted to disband the police department. I said "many people think they can live without law enforcement officers.".
Gosh, I wish people would learn to read!
However, I guess next time I should remember to add "and/or" and to be more clear that when I put two thoughts in the same sentence that one thought is not necessarily a component of the other.
So, to make it clear, I hope, I will rephrase it. "I am also glad that this will probably end up being a wake-up call to many people who think they can live without law enforcement officers, and ALSO to those people who voted for extreme leftists/liberals." Better?
I don't know any liberals, even the most extreme, who want to live without a police force.
Maybe the second degree quilty was because even when the paramedics arrived & told DC there was no pulse he didn't get off Floyds neck for another minute or two.
I just can't imagine what he was thinking.
He was thinking that he would suffer no consequences for his actions. And why shouldn't he have thought that? That's the way it has always worked before.
I think he was guilty, but I do think the jury was thinking of the riot response.
OJ got off partly because of it imo
