Justice is Served (Floyd Trial)

Thank God

Things would have exploded if we got another Rodney King or Treyvon Martin tone-deaf verdict.
 
I’m surprised (I’d say pleasantly but there’s nothing pleasant about the whole thing) that they convicted on 2nd degree murder. I thought 3rd degree at best and more likely manslaughter.

The system worked. Good.

Did not take the Jury long. Just from the time standpoint that looked like 3 Guilty verdicts before they were announced.

IMO there will be an attempt at appeal over the way Carbon Monoxide was presented in the trial and maybe over Prosecution closing arguments. No idea if they will be granted an appeal on that basis.
 
Looks like justice has been served.
Nope. Justice won't be served until people finally start holding democrats accountable for NOT firing this guy before this incident occurred! He apparently had a bit of a history of heavy-handed policing, but of course the democrats pandered to the police unions and crafted laws making it just as hard to fire bad cops as it is to fire bad teachers!

In other words, a scapegoat was convicted for using policing tactics taught to him in the democrat-controlled police dept, in a democrat-controlled city!

The most disgusting part of all this is that democrats create and perpetuate these "racist systems" that BLM complain about, and they rarely ever "reform" them! But not only WON'T the democrats be held accountable, they end up making things worse, then they politically benefit from it! The radicals of BLM burn down hundreds of buildings, riot and assault hundreds of cops, and democrats cash in on it!

THAT fact should shame their unquestionably loyal supporters to finally wake up, set their egos aside, and start resisting this obvious corruption.

Bravo!

Democrats are actually the ones who kneeled on George Floyd's neck for almost 10 minutes. Good stuff.
 
Let the appeals begin. While this is a step in the right direction we are far from done with this case.
I doubt that any appeal in this case will overturn the verdict.
 
I am not at all surprised he was convicted, but I am a bit surprised that they went for all three.

Maybe some respect for the rule of law for a change.

It is actually quite difficult to fire a police officer in many communities because they are hobbled by Union Contract stipulations. Minneapolis does have a difficult to deal with Union Contract. The Chief is so frustrated that he has withdrawn from negotiations claiming he insists on being on "the right side of history".

It has driven some communities to disband or dissolve their Police Departments (defund completely) in order to start from scratch free of the previous Union Contract. Camden NJ is a good example.

Not sure you have your facts straight. In my state, for example, Governor Scott Walker eliminated the teachers unions...actually, unions for just about all of the workers for the government...but left the police unions.

Your partisan hatred has got you all twisted, hasn't it?
 
It's not murder in the first degree.

I'm okay with that.

Verdicts aren't supposed to be premised on reading the tone of the mob.

You're right. I should have said the racist juries that handed down the disgraceful Rodney King and Treyvon Martin verdicts.

Disinformation on steroids.

May I remind you who passed the 'George Floyd and Policing Act' in the congress. It sure wasn't the republicans.

Democrats love cops too much. That's a new ****in take from the right wingers LMAO
 
While this verdict seems to reflect what we knew of the facts, that was my response to that post as well. To hell with the mob.
Yup...not disagreeing with the verdict, perse, just that part is irrelevant. I don't think it should've been all accounts but manslaughter is reasonable and maybe more.
