They aren't stupid. They were TERRIFIED at what would happen to them and their families if they didn't walk away from that building giving a guilty verdict for all charges.
But you bring up a good point.
An appeal is happening 100%, no doubt.
But now not only can they use Maxine's and Biden*'s rhetoric during the case against the verdict, but the very nature of the verdict itself.
The question "why" will now be asked. Why did they find him guilty on two mutually exclusive charges?
There is only one answer to that question, and it's probably what ultimately sets a martyr free.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Chicago murders up 55% from year prior. 769 homicides. 78% black.
Meanwhile... one unarmed black man in Chicago was shot in that time.

It's estimated that 1,000 to 6,000 more deaths occurred last year in cities where BLM protested.

Roaming Charges: The Eyes of Derek Chauvin

rek-chauvin/
Derek Chauvin never lost control. He wasn’t the officer who arrested George Floyd on a petty complaint about a fake $20 bill. He wasn’t the officer who pulled his gun and screamed profanities at an obviously frightened, non-threatening man. He didn’t place the cuffs on so tightly they cut into the wrists and slowed the blood flow to Floyd’s hands. Chauvin didn’t shove Floyd into the cramped backseat of the police cruiser, ignoring his anxiety about being trapped in such a confined space. Chauvin didn’t brutally hurl Floyd to the street. Chauvin didn’t lose his cool. He didn’t raise his voice. He remained calm, as he got on top of Floyd, jammed his knee into his throat, and pinned his body to the pavement, pressing it down, squeezing the veins and arteries shut. He didn’t allow himself to be distracted as the crowd shouted at him, as Floyd’s lungs writhed for breath, as the EMTs searched for a pulse, finding none. As he released his knee from Floyd’s lifeless body, his expression didn’t change. He remained in control.
Isn’t that the scariest part? It is for me. Derek Chauvin didn’t act on impulse. He didn’t act out of fear. He didn’t act out of anger or in response to a threat against his own life. He didn’t make a split-second decision. He didn’t let his emotions get the better of him.
Derek Chauvin was in control. That’s why the other officers didn’t intervene. He wasn’t acting out of line. He wasn’t ranting. He wasn’t verbally taunting Floyd. He wasn’t beating him. He wasn’t letting any of the chaotic circumstances get under his skin. He was steady, just keeping the pressure on, minute after minute, calmly responding to Floyd’s frantic plea that he couldn’t breathe by saying with not even the faintest edge to his voice: “Then stop talking, stop yelling. It takes heck of a lot of oxygen to talk.” That’s what cold-blooded murder looks and sounds like. It’s methodical. It’s clinical. It’s emotionally detached.
So the question is: was Derek Chauvin born this way or was this learned behavior. Was he born to kill or trained to? All of those latter-day eugenicists proclaiming the existent of a “violence” gene would do well to scrutinize his DNA profile. But in a sense it hardly matters. Derek Chauvin was the kind of police officer America wanted. One who didn’t get distracted. One who had a method and followed it. One who didn’t get ruffled. One who wasn’t impetuous or boisterous or overtly racist. One who didn’t lose his cool One stayed in control.
Now they want to wash their hands of him and his methods. Now they want to say he was a rogue cop, a rule-breaker, a bad officer, a sadist, a vigilante. They can cut him adrift, lock him up, isolate him. But they can’t wipe away the truth. Derek was one of them. He was no rookie. He had roamed the streets for 19 years. He was a known quantity. If the police didn’t create Derek Chauvin, they recruited him, rewarded his methods, admired his calm demeanor, placed him in control.
I return one more time to the fatal footage. I pause the video and scan his face, looking for something, anything that might explain how he could do what he did. But when you gaze into the eyes of Derek Chauvin, as he squeezes the last breath out of a human being under his total control, you see nothing. And that nothingness looks right back at you.

Do you WANT police to be acting out of panic, or anger, or hyped- up adrenaline?
I'm pretty sure Chauvin did not intend for Floyd to die. He fucked up.

C'mon, when police are acting under a microscope, this wouldn't have escaped notice!
Nah, what REALLY escapes notice is black-on-black, and black-on-everyone-else crime. Because, yanno, blacks are automatically victims of "the system" which means that their crimes are automatically excused.
So sayeth BLM/Antifa.

Right-Wing Activists Attack Conviction of Derek Chauvin, Engage in Whataboutism

So, do you seriously expect us to believe that cops killed an additional 1000-6000 people last year?
NOPE, not engaging in "whataboutism": That would be you!
No, I'm actually questioning the basis of the charges and conviction of Chauvin.
Aside from "mind reading" -and doing a piss-poor job of it - and name calling, do you have anything to say?
