Appeal soon.tm
Unfortunate, I think the Jury got affected by the democrats rhetoric's. Its almost certain that he will appeal with Maxine Waters threatening the jury.

Have you considered hiring an editor?

Hahaha people think Maxine Waters tainted the jury? How about the sitting POTUS Joe Biden getting used as a sock puppet by Obama and this morning saying that Chauvin was obviously Guilty? Impossible to get a fair verdict. That has to be THE dumbest stunt in American politics in my lifetime.
Alll these Dem morons guarantee this gets appealed/ overturned.

I don't like cops, but they are a necessary evil.
I've personally seen cops beat the hell out of handcuffed
people, so, no surprises there.
This trial was politicized and there is no way that guy could get
a fair trial.
All people deserve the presumption of innocence without
the worry of the "mob" rioting and personal threats to their jury.
So the result is, if the Blacks throw a fit, we appease them.
No white guy in America will become a cop from here on out.
The ones that do, should not be cops, as they have mental issues.
Overly aggressive cops need to be purged from the ranks, or all
police will go down.
Aloha.

Its not about race, its about not being a criminal druggy and resist arrest. If the same thing happened to a white man, I would think the same outcome. As I don't judge what happened on the color of his skin, but the actions that he did. He was a criminal, he resisted arrest, he died from a drug overdose complication. That's the fairness this trial deserves, isn't that what everyone wants? But instead we get race baiting and over exaggeration of the color of his skin.

I agree. :thumbsup:
I was watching the news coverage and saw a flag with 13 stripes like the US flag but instead of 50 stars it was replaced with "Black Lives Matter" If it was really about transcending race it should have read "Justice Matters" but it was disgusting that the US flag was represented that way.

Democrats are shameless. nancy pelau-see, maxine waters and biden lead the way.
If one can't see that those in power will do anything and everything to affect their agenda, then it must mean it is compliance to their actions.
A very sad realization to those of us who treasured freedom, independence, responsibility and accountability. It's apparent the demokrats have convoluted the meanings of these sacred words.
The country will no longer be the same with these insane criminals leading the way.

The real issue of this trial is that it was influenced by angry mobs and evil politicians who threatened to burn the city down if they did not get the result they wanted. When you compare it to Ashli Babbitt it is clear that our justice system is broken and results are not based on merit but what color your skin is and what party you are affiliated with. In other words there is no justice system any more.

DOJ Launches Civil Investigation into Minneapolis Policing after Chauvin Conviction
The investigation will determine whether the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) engages in “a pattern or practice of unconstitutional or unlawful policing,” Garland said during a press conference.
Attorneys and other personnel from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota will join the investigation.
According to the DOJ, the scope of the investigation includes whether MPD engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, including during protests, whether the MPD engages in discriminatory conduct, and whether MPD’s treatment of those with behavioral health disabilities is unlawful.

That is THE great irony of all of this, who is calling the Cops to intervene in all these events? Whites? Why arent Obama and the BLM people telling Black folks to stop calling the police on each other so they can end up dead by each others hands instead of at the hands of Racists dressed in Blue? that is what they want isnt it?

America's best will not apply to be police officers.
The ones who will apply will be the ones that shouldn't apply, lol! Bet they get hired.....
Maybe just hire all black police officers. When they respond to black violent incidents, they can work it out. Or not. Wonder how the MSM will cover this.
And when they respond to white incidents the f*kn MSM won't cover it anyway.
May sound racist but like Stang mentioned in the other thread, everything is racist nowadays.
And in my opinion it's all because of that damn BLM movement.

In almost every incident about black injustice in the hands of police it was because they simply resisted when all they had to do was comply.
Justice is served in the court of law, seldom out in the field.
And in almost every incident the black person was doing something unlawful. Which is probably why they resisted.
Oh well, stupid is what stupid does.

Randy Quaid Just Came Up With a Great Way For Biden and Harris to “Honor” George Floyd –

Here's my take. Chauv should def not be charged for murder 2. But the other charge fits of manslaughter.
Once someone is cuffed, they are now in the custody and control of the officer. So if they slip and crack their head on the side walk, the officer is responsible. Due to the fact that their arms are cuffed behind their back and it's harder to walk and cannot brace for a fall. A while ago, had 1 guy die in the back of a cop meat wagon. The cops failed to restrain him properly in the van properly and he ended up breaking his neck when the van hit a pot hole or something. Again custody and control=PD's responsible.
So Floyd was cuffed and on his stomach. That is a very difficult position to get up off the ground from or try and do anything bad. So with Chauv on top of him, he is responsible for Floyd. Chauv messed up plain and simple. There was no racial motivation. TBH, I'm sure this isn't the 1st time Chauv used the same technique, and at most the guy on the ground passes out. Then wakes up and that's it. "Hey man, you ok? You passed out".
Now Floyd could have avoided this entire situation if he wasn't tripping balls and writing bad checks. So actions have consequences.
Let's compare this accident to the other MN cop who's from Somalia and shot and killed the girl in her driveway. She was not armed nor arguing. She died and he only got 5 years. His instructors at the academy felt he wasn't going to be a good cop, but told to pass him due to his race and immigration status.
With all the public and pressure from politicians, I don't think Chauv got a fair trial at all. The fact that they found him guilty of all those charges is BS too. His atty better appeal.
The media and DS played the public who are crying foul for suckers like how they always do. How much money did BLM make off of Floyd? White guy dies in a simular manner and the cops are even laughing at him and no protest in the streets.

You remember the Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot?
Lightfoot was Bridges' character -- immature, stupid loudmouth who died because he showed really poor judgement (kept hassling George Kennedy).

Waiting for the first city to wake up and order police to carry video cameras instead of guns. That way, they can record what happens on the call for social workers, judges and social media mobs to based their judgements on.
Let the crimes happen, and document it. That way, the Cops can't be accused of anything -- other than refusing to get in the middle of the situation.
If the public complains, tell them, "We decided that if two people are fighting, and one of them dies, it's no different numerically than police intervening and shooting the assailant. If two are engaged in a knife fight, nobody is innocent. We'll let the law of the jungle decide who lives or dies. We can later decide from the recorded evidence who is at fault -- the same evidentiary standard Cops are being convicted with today."

That was happening back 15-20 years ago. Seattle and other PNW counties were paying good money for officers to "join them". Many were coming from Hawaii. Not sure if Spokane was part of the mix, but there were definitely some eastern WA counties that were doing this. I think Pasco and another in the "dry shitties" (Tri Cities).

I was thinking along those same lines yesterday, the unions should tell the officers not to physically intervene, record the incident, collect evidence and witness testimonies and then drop it all off at the door of the anti-LEO, No Bail Release, Soros Funded Prosecutors and DAs. Make them issue the arrest warrants (or not) and they can explain to the families of the victims and the families of the criminals which of them is more important to keep happy and how their idea of a communist utopia dispenses social justice

Majority of Black Americans Say Politics at Least ‘Somewhat’ Influenced Derek Chauvin Verdict
57 percent of black Americans said politics influenced the decision to some degree, 36 percent saying “a lot” and 21 percent saying “somewhat.”
-
I am not entirely surprised by the verdict but I think they made the wrong choice. Derek Chauvin was definitely guilty of something but not murder. Maybe manslaughter but I am leaning towards some other type of civil rights violation. When a cop takes someone into custody they are now responsible for them and that he where he screwed up.
I don't know how the prosecution could argue that the knee played a substantial role in Chauvin's death. Given the drug use, his medical conditions, and his level of excitement, I don't know that we could solidly say the knee [;ayed a significant role. He very well could have died without a knee on his back too. If we can't know this then it would seem reasonable doubt to me.
I am curious to watch the appeal as there are a number of things his lawyer can bring up. The failure to pick a different venue, the failure to sequester the jury, the comments by that idiot Maxine Waters, etc.
I do think the lawyer should have done an experiment to try and replicate the incident. Have someone Floyd's size/age lay on the ground and have someone Chauvin's weight lean on him for an extended period of time. Meanwhile monitor the heartrate, breathing, and oxygen levels to see if that would have compromised his breathing. I have heard of studies similar to that before too.

My dad retired from a Spokane police department and I have visited that area many times. Nice are, medium size city, more conservative politics. Got some white supremacist groups in that area, including Idaho and Montana but not a big issue for cops as I understood it. Different problems there than Hawaii. I could see living up there if I had to leave Hawaii but not much in the way of asian food.

BLM Activist Sat on the Chauvin Jury After Claiming He Could Be ‘Impartial’, Tells People to Get on Juries to ‘Spark Change’
Minneapolis’ FOX 9 reporter Paul Blume reported in March that “Judge Cahill asked Juror #52, whether he heard anything about the #GeorgeFloyd civil case. He says, no. He explained hearing some basic info about trial dates, etc from the news in recent months, but nothing that would keep him from serving as impartial juror. #ChauvinTrial”
However, Mitchell was photographed last August wearing a shirt that read “Get your knee off our necks” and “BLM.”

I long ago came to the conclusion that juries should only consist of older
engineers. We have for years had our personal prejudices beat out of us
by "peer" reviews. Every decision I ever made was challenged by everybody
and I had to defend those decisions. If I could not convince other engineers
with "facts and data", I lost the argument.
Up front I'll restate that I don't like cops, they are a necessary evil, however
I don't think this cop received a fair trial, based purely on "Facts and Data" I have
read or seen.
He was convicted by a mob mentality. That cheapens all of us, those that accept
this immorality and those that advocate that revenge is acceptable.

From another angle, I think any Cop being tried for anything resembling a race-related situation should be automatically and immediately granted a change of venue.
Having any authority figure such as a police officer judged by the local community is denying the inevitability that someone with malice based on the viral videos, MSM propagated race-baiting, and perhaps even personal experiences will wind up on that jury.
With the Social Media and MSM BS purveyors being like they are, I admit it'll be hard to find a totally unbiased jury anywhere. But, at least you don't have someone on the jury who's afraid of having their own city burned down over a verdict some groups won't like. The riots will be where the "crime" was committed, not likely where the trial was held. The rioters would target the place that employed the cop.
