Every juror was interviewed before being allowed to sit for this trial. There were eight whites on the jury, all 8 of which agreed with the jury verdicts on all three charges.
Yet on this very website we have people spouting nonsense about how Chauvin was innocent. What convicted Chauvin was his own brutality, his murder of G. Floyd, and most importantly that he was video taped doing it. No opportunity to lie his way out of it. The earlier post calling Black people animals has now been removed. But racism is huge on this website and in this country. If you don't believe that cops just might let Whites get away with ignoring their orders, and threatening to kill the cop, and picking up a gun sitting on the car seat and fleeing all without being tased or shot
You suspect and know in your heart this would have gone differently if that driver were Black. |

I have mixed feelings on that removed post. While I applaud management for addressing such a racist statement, I also believe that if it had stood, more people might have gained a clue as to how so many claimed law enforcement officers - actually think.
As to whether this case may make LEO's pause and examine their own prejudices and bias' before taking action in the future, in the long run that will be a good thing IMHO.
Let's also not lose sight of the fact that the sentencing hasn't occurred yet, however. Did the judge tip his own bias, when he commented on Water's statement? We'll soon see if complete justice will happen.
