It tells you nothing because you understand nothing. What is "telling" is the evidence against Chauvin, not my opinion or the mere flatulence that is yours.
It's great that some things never change on this site! Armstronglivs is never shy about jumping on a race related thread and adding his expert opinion as some sort of legal beagle from some far away country. It's great that cheap entertainment still exists!!
So far the jury is a couple of white guys (two or three depending on which article you read) and a woman of color. They may have dismissed the guy who was engaged which is why there is a discrepancy.
At this point I would be worried that anyone willing to serve on the jury is mentally unfit.

Will they need to change their names and hide all info about the jurors - thinking some sort of witness protection plan?

George Floyd forced his way into a woman's home and pointed a gun at her stomach. Jacob Blake was wanted for domestic abuse and was terrorizing a woman when the cops were called.
In the Me Too era it's odd how the Left is making martyrs out of violent men who prey on women.
These claims should have been investigated and if they were found guilty, they should have been punished. I think people all across the political spectrum can agree with this.

They were on both points. Yet, very few media outlets reported on that and made George Floyd out to be a great Father, brother, and member of society. That is the spin that needs to end. Report all the facts, not just those that can sensationalize the story with the highest emotional grab.

They already dismissed one juror because he was in fear of his life if his name were to get disclosed to the public. The woke crowd doesn't want justice, they want vengeance, and their fear and violence campaign (straight out of the Marxist playbook that they endorse) has been on full display over the past year with every building they burn, every cop they injure or kill, and every neighborhood they terrorize.

I didn't see Floyd portrayed to be good. They just thought he shouldn't have been knelt on and his criminal behavior was irrelevant to whether this was justified. He was a criminal suspect, so I think most people acknowledged he might have committed crimes.
My point was if they had already been punished for other crimes, shouldn't those be in the past?
I wasn't really considering whether the media were spinning it either. I was considering what the police knew. Did the police know Floyd's criminal past and did they know he was on drugs?
They knew he was resisting arrest...
I dont know who brian entin is, but taken on face value, this is deranged.

Is DC listed in that link somewhere picking fights for no reason and not being held accountable?

and was that simple fact ever mentioned in any of the initial news reports?

He was literally buried in a gold casket with murals painted of him, with some even depicting him with angel wings. I am not sure how much more praise he could have gotten.

They only did this because they know the 2nd degree charge is bogus.

Does that mean he was a good person? If so, how?
Or just that his death was significant? I think his death was considered significant as it sparked demonstrations and so it was unsurprising that he had a lavish funeral.
