This shouldn't surprise anyone. Biden said outright that he supported giving more money to law enforcement. If killing black men extrajudicially results in a payday for the police, we'll probably see even more being killed.
tbh I'm really interested to hear what is the jist of Derek chauvin lawyers defense.
How are they gonna explain what happened on the tape? Will they even try?
I'm guessing they claim.... Floyd resisted arrest, appeared to be under the influence, they had to restrain him, then he suffered a "medical episode."
I kno for sure they gone try their hardest to have NO BLK PPL on the jury....then they prolly settle on 1 goof ball coon or sum weak minded bird.
I'm goin into this hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
They can’t know what’s going to happen, but they have to be prepared for the worst. It’s up to those 12 jurors, whoever they end up being.If ya'll could see the amount of barriers, chain link fencing and barbed wire they have up around town, it seems like Minneapolis is preparing for Chauvin to get off....
The defense will lean heavily on the fentanyl levels in his system, Floyd saying he couldn't breathe before neck pressure indicating that he was already in the process of an OD, and that the knee-on-neck is apparently part of the MPLS training program. I'm not a legal expert but this what they think the defense will put fourth.
I'm good friends with a guy who used to work with Thomas Lane, said he seemed like a nice a guy and actually feels bad for him. All this coming from a guy who active last may.
Everyone I've talked to that has met Chauvin tho, even in passing, say he's asshole.
EVERYTHING depends on the jury...
Cuz once dude said he couldnt breathe, they shoulda rendered aid. Knee on the neck even after he was dead...then NO aid was rendered after he was dead.
depraved indifference at the very least.
