Glad he was found guilty. Appropriate for his actions.

Now to see what his sentencing will be is going to be interesting to see.

Who didn't see that coming? Chauvin is about as unlikeable as a person can get. The optics of this situation were simply too much to overcome. Do I believe Chauvin contributed to Floyds death, not even a little bit. Floyd was a dead man from the moment he decided to swallow a mouth full of Fentanyl to avoid being caught with it. Chauvin just managed to make himself the patsy by not simply standing up beside Floyd rather than kneeling on his back. His ego as a cop just got him convicted of three charges.

Agreed!!!

The judge overseeing the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer in the death of George Floyd says recent comments by U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters are “abhorrent” and says they could lead to a verdict being appealed and overturned

Xiden thinks everyone worries when they wake up in the morning about be killed by a police officer.

Wants to tackle systemic racism in the law enforcement system.

So far hasn’t mentioned guns.

This verdict has absolutely nothing in any way to do with justice.

This verdict is vengeance from the leftards and race baiters.The only thing he is guilty of is being a white police officer.

A radio host who I think is an attorney, started listing all the errors the judge made.

Poster child for change of venue.

Allowing murder 3. The law says others not other.
He said randomly shooting into a crowd is Murder 3.

Allowing a whole day of testimony about how upset watching the video made the witness feel. Prejudicial?

Then we have the whole not sequestering the jury and the legislative and executive branch trying to influence the outcome.

There may be more, that’s all I remember.

they are doing it now

saying its not enough??? he was found guilty

then i muse..these politicians demand no police anywhere and ye they get armed security
its past time for us to let it get bloody
no police would result in massive numbers of dead bodies because the bad element suddenly is more emboldened to do wrong.

Very sad day in America, but you are right. The trial should have been moved and it should in my opinion had a mistrial after Maxine Waters big mouth. Knowing for a fact the jury was watching it all at home. I don’t know if this Judge was as bad as Lance Allan Ito, but close. It was a dog and pony show.

Four years from now an appeals court will call for a new trial in a different town, he will have a better attorney and be found innocent, no one will care because, it will be some thing new to attract the lefts attention, like more reparations or by then the left will have succeeded and and acended into compete power they will not tolerate any demonstrations peaceful or not.
