If Chauvin is found not guilty, are people justified in rioting?

Aren't Celebrities supposed to at least act Neutral?

Did you feel they have been neutral commenting about past/current Presidents?

I get the feeling neither of them liked Trump, they both seemed to hate Trump, Lemon was mad that Trump called Haiti a s__thole Country and Trump said even Norway is nicer than Haiti, Lemon said his ancestors came from a s__thole Country, but he did not say which one, I don't know why Colbert did not like Trump, Colbert seems like he would like Pat Buchanan or Teddy Roosevelt.

Why are you trying to have an argument with me? Do you think that will lead to our society being okay with police kneeling on unconscious civilians? Or do you just want to argue?

Just trying to get you to understand that you are twisting the facts. Our society would be substantially better off if facts nattered and were reported on accurately.

Nothing I said is factually inaccurate.

Wow, lots of discussion on this case. I have been gone and not paying attention to the trial. Any witnesses anyone would recommend checking out from the trial videos? Any new information that changes anything substantially?

Nah, it's the same stuff we knew from the outset. GF was high as a kite and basically OD'd. But a certain subset of the population doesn't like that answer because they have some curated 'statistics' about AA's being killed by police and Chauvin had a really meany looking face on while he was holding GF down, so he must be evil.

I think stating that DC kneeled on an unconscious man is twisting the truth. I don't even have proof that he was on his "neck" that whole time.

Chief Arradondo. The defense got him to agree that Chauvin's use of force was reasonable and even that the video showed that Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's shoulder and not his neck (at the end of the video). The prosecution was already dead in the water because of the amount of drugs in Floyd's system, but I did not think it would go this bad for them.

Here is what will happen;

Regardless of the verdict, the DEMOCRAT base will riot and loot and destroy their OWN businesses in their OWN poor neighborhoods.

Because thats what democrats do........,.

You may want to watch his whole testimony.

Was GF unconscious when the three police officers had to restrain him on the ground?

If Chauvin is found not guilty, I’m going to my local small business, busting their windows, and helping myself to whatever I want. It’s my right as an ignorant POS who doesn’t understand that facts and written law matter.

That's not what my factual comment was. Do you see why I get the impression that you just want to argue?

Sorry if I missed your factual comment. Can you post it again?

What you copied and pasted as quotes don't seem to make sense, or show what you posted as fact.

The protests will be nationwide, if not international. People who want to use it as an excuse to riot do not need to go to Minneapolis.

The Chief did not agree to that. The main point of his evidence is that the force used by Chauvin was unreasonable and against procedures. The drugs argument won't work either. The presence of drugs does not establish an overdose. Chauvin will be convicted.
