It'll be interesting to see what the police unions stance will be on this. And he is immediately remanded into custody, bail revoked.
Police unions better shut the fuck about it because this is the system they work in that they send people through every day .
Protective custody I would assume? I doubt he’d still make it the two years anyway. Someone would bribe a black guard to look the other way.
On 2nd-degree murder? No way. If he only got convicted of manslaughter he might have skated after ~4 years, but with the 3rd and 2nd-degree murder charges as well he'll be sentenced to real time. His best bet now is on appeal, not on a light sentence.
That’s a lot of people really close together without masks. My wife said it’s because they’re all family. I said a bunch of brothers. she’s now left the room
Curious how these protesters are gonna handle 4/20. Theyre either gonna be super chill, or they’re gonna loot a grocery store.
I can happily say I didnt watch a single second of the trial. Read articles and headlines. Having the guy pass out and stop breathing with a knee on his neck on camera youd have to be a miracle worker to put reasonable doubt it could have been something else. Of course Maxine Waters flapped her gums and he has a legit appeal angle. I dont see an appellate court overturning all of this work for that though.
Plus, the jury was sequestered. They were not supposed to have been able to know she even said anything. Whether juries actually follow the rules when they are sequestered or not is a different story.
Always has been, always will be. It’s amazing how many people are willing to stand next to him like he isn’t a complete con artist. Fuck him.
Bob Kroll who is a piece of shit took early retirement. Hopefully they keep his opinion out of the press entirely, those people do not need a pedestal.
Minneapolis is peacefully healing. They're marching and chanting "Burn it down", "Fuck 12", and "All cops are bastards." A speaker is now inciting the crowd now telling them they didn't get justice. If the city isn't on fire within a few hours I'm going to very surprised. Live stream here.
