Lots of people were 100% sure Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin. Jury pronounced him innocent on all counts after seeing all the evidence.

Lots more people thought Michael Brown was murdered with his hands up by Officer Wilson. But it was all a lie. Brown wasn’t surrendering and didn’t say don’t shoot. And he wasn’t a victim of police misconduct. Rather than the “Gentle Giant” he was portrayed at in the media, he sucker punched Wilson while Wilson sat in his police car, tried to grab Wilson’s service pistol, and was shot when he charged Wilson a second time.

BLM movement was founded on these two cases.

Nobody here knows what will happen in the Floyd case yet because a jury hasn't been shown all the evidence yet.

good post
