This is an unpopular verdict...

(This, coming from a polling firm which is skewed heavily to the left and was regularly an outlier showing much lower ratings for Trump's approval than the average in the aggregate... so the numbers are likely even worse for the outcome of the trial.)
Quote:
For example, now, far fewer Americans personally believe George Floyd was murdered (36%) compared to last summer (60%). Though slightly more believe it was an accident (8%, up from 3%), much of this shift has been to respondents saying they don’t know. Currently, 17% say they don’t know how to characterize Floyd’s death, up from 4% in June.
36% think it was murder. That leaves between 1 and 2 out of 5 Democrats even believing that Floyd wasn't murdered... On a poll done by a polling firm that regularly polls more Democrats than Republicans and Independents combined.
Between that, the Legacy Media not shutting the fuck up about it, Maxine and Biden* not shutting the fuck up about it, and a weird outcome where he was charged guilty both of premeditated murder AND manslaughter, it won't be long until he appeals and is acquitted of all charges.

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.

Congratulations though. You probably did ruin the rest of this man's life.
He'll likely never be a cop again. And I doubt very much he can even get a job in the future as a WalMart greeter. You'll be able to find him at Home Depot with the illegal aliens at 6:00AM looking for under the table day jobs.

Quote:If you dislike the verdict, blame the prosecuting attorneys. They are the ones who could have let Derek Chauvin NOT go to trial. I've seen District Attorneys in Texas decide NOT to prosecute police so I'm pretty sure D.A.s in all states can do whatever pleases themselves. The prosecutors are the ones who decided the charges. If they had wanted, the prosecutors could have instructed the jury to pick ONLY ONE OF THE THREE CHARGES, either a) or b) or c). If the jury had picked two or more, the jury could have been sent back to deliberate until they settle on only one charge.

What to Know About the Charges Against Derek Chauvin
By Jacob Gershman

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin faced three charges in his trial: murder in the second degree while committing a felony, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
The charges require the jury to conclude that Mr. Chauvin caused Mr. Floyd’s death, even if unintentionally, meaning that his prolonged kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck and back was at least a “substantial causal factor” in his death, though not necessarily the only factor. All the charges require proof that the force used to restrain Mr. Floyd was unreasonable.
The most serious charge against Mr. Chauvin is second-degree unintentional murder. Also known as felony murder, the charge requires proof that Mr. Chauvin killed Mr. Floyd while committing a felony, specifically third-degree assault. That means the jury would have to conclude that not only did Mr. Chauvin cause Mr. Floyd’s death, but at the time he was killing him, Mr. Chauvin was assaulting or attempting to assault him by intentionally applying unlawful and nonconsensual force that resulted in substantial bodily harm.
Third-degree murder requires proof that Mr. Chauvin caused Mr. Floyd’s death by “perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life,” according to the Minnesota statute. Third-degree murder is typically applied to more indiscriminate killings, such as spraying bullets into a crowd. A pending legal dispute in Minnesota over how to interpret the language in the third-degree murder statute makes that charge more vulnerable to an appeal, according to legal experts.
The jury also has the option of convicting Mr. Chauvin of second-degree manslaughter, the lesser charge of the three. For that offense, the jury would need to conclude that Mr. Floyd died as a result of Mr. Chauvin’s culpable negligence or recklessness. It’s the same charge leveled against the former police officer who fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright.

His guilt is not a matter of opinion.
Sounds like the "legacy media" is doing a fine job of promoting the fascism you so love.

Quote:There were at least 72 incidents of cars driving into protesters over a relatively short span in 2020, from May 27 through July 7. GOP lawmakers are responding to Black Lives Matter protests by making it legal to kill protestors with a car.

Quote:Another thing Texas Trumptards believe, after being sued: it is not morally wrong to hit a bicyclist, except children on bikes, because it should be illegal to ride in the streets. While I'm a passenger I have had to listen to an angry Trumptard driver swearing at, blowing the horn, and swerving close to bicyclists. Trumptards drivers see bicyclists as limiting a Trumptard's freedom to do what he wants on the road and freedom is the most important value for a Trumptard, more than acting decent. Trumptards don't hit the bicyclists only because that would be inconvenient for the Trumptard. As for obligations to be decent to the bicyclists? Trumptards don't care when the bicyclist is an adult wearing spandex clothing. The psychology of Trumptard v bicyclist is very annoying to this libtard. I will break cover and tell the Trumptard loud and clear what I think when I see them do something rude and nasty around a bicyclist and I won't use the argument that it would be inconvenient for completing the car ride if the Trumptard hits a bicycle.

I know someone who used to bike to work and back (from Pasadena to downtown LA) and he has some hair-raisig stories to tell about almost being knocked down and run over. In California.
You assume that when someone does something you don't like, they must be a Trump supporter.
Trust me, son, there are asshole Democrats too.
