I hope so, but the state did its best to muddle the evidence. imo you'd be less than human not to be outraged and sickened by what Chauvin did, but I can see where a jury would find "depraved heart murder" or 3rd Degree in Minn. But Chauvin seems likely to argue that his neck kneeling was appropriate under police policy, and it wouldn't have been fatal but for Floyd's drug use.Not when their mind is made up before the trial even begins. Your theory would be correct if we didn't have so many uncivilized people in our country.
If people's minds are made up, it's because everyone saw what Chauvin did.
The same argument was made when Van Dyke was put on trial in Chicago. He got a mostly white jury and they still found him guilty. (then the judge fucked it up and gave him the most minimal sentence he could get away with.)
Chauvin's jury is mostly white. They'll still find him guilty because HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT TAPE!
Either way the guy was going to die that day. It's unfortunate for this officer Floyd happened to die while he was subduing him.
By that logic, any nurse in a hospital or a hospice who smothers a patient can get away with it because they were going to die anyway.
A city? There were dozens of cities across the country being destroyed because of this lowlife.
No, there were dozens of cities slightly damaged because of decades of police misconduct, and the only way to get white people to pay attention is to break their stuff.
Don't expect that from any Democrat. The President doesn't have the authority to stop riots in any city unless the Mayor or Governor issues a formal request, or people in those cities are attacking a federal building.
Actually, there were a whole lot of things Trump could have done to quell the riots. He just chose to make things worse.
The left loves these riots calling them the Summer of Love. They instruct their police to stand down and give rioters and robbers all the room they need to conduct their outlawish actions.
Yes, you don't make a riot over killing people better by killing more people. Hellooooo....
