I should get reparations because my parents taught me self responsibility. My parents taught me if you want something, if you need something you must work for it. Hum, clearly I should get reparations.
You do not choose the cards you are dealt, you do choose how you play them.
Obviously, I was not on the jury. I'm not sure how I would have voted. It should be clear to all that all were aware if they did not find the police officer guilty it would be yet another excuse for riots.
The drugs that Floyd was on were developed by the Germans in WWII. They suppress the centers of the brain that control what we call morality-this is wrong. They also suppress fear. The normal thought hey, I shouldn't do this. Floyd was no saint even the press tried to paint him as such. Floyd had a long and violent criminal record. Floyd out weighed the cop by over 50 lbs.
Proper verdict? I suppose it was the best verdict possible for we the people.
I do not claim to have answers. Whatever the verdict is there is no way it can or would end well.

Obviously, if your vote was to aquit when police officers, doctors, experts testified under oath that Chauvin murdered Floyd, you would have been in the minority. Please, let's not forget, this was not about Floyd record or health, it was about nine and half minutes of Chauvin's knee on Floyd neck over a $20 contf. bill. Thank you Steve Job for camera phone.
