George Floyd and Minneapolis Police UoF - Rioting

[flenna]

Yea that presser was pure political grandstanding.

Murder 2 seems like a very long stretch. Throwing a bone to the mob it seemed.

I wonder if they’ll put change of venue on the table.

They can throw a 65” tv and some Air Jordan’s at the mob and they wouldn’t be appeased. The looting and pillaging ceased to be about the murder of Floyd several days ago.

The charges on the other three is a bullshit overcharge. At this point I hope they do try to get him a second-degree murder. I think there’s a damn good chance he walks on the third-degree murder charge.

And yet at the end of the day there is, thus far, zero evidence to suggest anything about this incident was racially motivated.

The 4 officers involved literally a rainbow coalition of races. Could not have been a more diverse group if they tried short of a transsexual person self identifying as a chicken. Unreasonable UOF? Yes. Racist event. No.

If he gets off.......think Rodney King only nationwide.

Yes that is a possibility, I really believe that the manslaughter charge will stick but nothing else. But who knows jury’s do crazy shit.
I know everyone likes to look at stuff on an emotional level but there’s no way in hell they’re getting him on a 2nd murder charge. If they riot nationwide after the case that’s on them.

I wonder if they can even get a remotely impartial jury for these 4 ex-cops. Either way it goes, it's really going to be a test of what real justice actually looks like.

Just saw Conservative Twins today.
Pretty good commentaries on recent events.

How is aiding and abetting an overcharge? I recall reading 1 of the 3 voiced concern to Chauvin during the process, but that was it.

I put this in the Seattle thread but it’s a good listen and dude seems to have his head on solid

Also turns out the first gun he had was stolen out of a car and the punk who stole it shot the rifle into the vehicle before he took it from him !
