Maybe I have too much tin foil in my hat. I made one reply and it exploded with emotional accusations and misunderstandings.
I seem to have dug up a hornets nest but at least some of you might consider where this case is going to end up and how it got there instead of what the msm tells you.
I will not apologize about what I have said about the jury. It was not their fault they were manipulated by the msm and the court system.
I still say there is someting not right in this trial and don't agree that he is guilty of all three charges. I do think he is guilty of manslaughter but I think the others were added on to sooth the protesters and get the results thrown out on appeal.
Time will tell if I am right or wrong about the other speculations that I will be seeking evidence for and I hope you also seek the truth. I don't care if I am proven right or wrong as long as it is the truth and not something from government approved msm.
It is late. Good night/evening/day/morning to all.

This is not or at least it should not be a Republican/Democrat issue... it is a societal/civil rights issue. Is people that believe that a certain segment of the population is beyond reproach and should never ever be held accountable that are the problem. The idolization of militaristic/police enforcement in this country is something that baffles me.
We should held our police to the highest of standards, they should be absolute transparency and accountability for every action the police take agains a citizen. Every interaction, every stop, every traffic stop, every action that culminates in use of force of any kind should be subjected to the highest of scrutiny.
Our rights should be protected, all of our rights, don’t matter where your political ideology is.

If he is found guilty of Murder, lots of police will just walk away from their jobs since they are liable if anything happens when arresting a criminal, even if the criminal starts it.
Let's hope so. There's no place for racists and killers in a civilized police force.

Interesting how a court case verdict discussion turned to elephant and donkey....or maybe not?
The guy is guilty of something.....maybe stupidity and cruelty and he needed to be punished for sure, but the streets are like a war sometimes for LPO's and you don't jail soldiers every time they hurt somebody.

Manslaughter...not murder.
Oh brother! You took the bait hook line and sinker.

This trial sets precedence that officers can be charged with serious crimes for doing their job if the criminals press charges against them if they get hurt in the struggle.
In fevered right-wing imaginations, perhaps. Not in real life.
If you think this is a problem, support a firearms ban.
