Unintentional 2nd degree murder (while committing a felony) - Guilty

2nd degree manslaughter (culpable negligence creating an unreasonable risk) - Guilty

So, this means no riots then right? Right?

GOOD. Fuck that guy.

Just hope you never find yourself in a situation where you didn’t intend to kill someone...but you did! The verdicts were unjust! The verdict should have been involuntary manslaughter. No more than recklessly speeding and you hit & kill someone. It will be appealed and re-tried in another venue.

"Just hope you never find yourself in a situation where you didn’t intend to kill someone...but you did!"

You mean like 2nd degree murder, 3rd degree murder, or manslaughter?

"The verdicts were unjust!"

You don't know what the word unjust means.

reply

Count 1 & 2 were unjust. I didn’t say he should not be found guilty, but a more reasonable verdict. Involuntary Manslaughter would fit the deed.

Unjust: Biased, Unfair, Didn’t fit the action done by Chauvin

reply

Your brain is unjust.

reply

As usual when you lack intelligent thought...you lower yourself to insults. You are incapable of giving a sound reason for the verdicts rendered. Click on the link warrior-poet posted. There may be a chance you could become more insightful.

Nothing ruffles the feathers of a Trump cultist more than a cop getting punished for killing a black guy.

You'd think it wouldn't be a big deal because it happens so rarely.

reply

Oh stop already! I’m not a Trump cultist any more than you are a Biden cultist...but then again...maybe you are. Not once did I write this cop should not be punished. He should have been given Involuntary Manslaughter and served prison time. He did not get a fair trial. There should have been a change of venue. The judge erred and the jury was under duress. Rioting would have occurred and members of the jury would have faced reprisals if a lesser verdict was given.

Use that gray matter bouncing around in your skull and realize this trial is ripe for appeal. Even the judge said as much. Just because you hate Chauvin is not justification for him receiving the unjust verdicts. A perfect storm was starting when Floyd was fighting the officers. You can see him fighting in the video. Adrenaline rises. Cops get angry over the difficulty of restraining Floyd. You et al dismiss completely the fact if Floyd had complied he wouldn’t be dead and interred in a $40,000 gold plated casket. BTW, no great loss. Thankfully he won’t contribute again to the gene pool. His family wouldn’t have shared in a $27 Million Dollar give away.

Granted Chauvin should have been terminated from the police force for prior write-ups. But, I don’t believe he intended to kill Floyd. Anger takes hold. The “I can’t breathe” is used frequently by those fighting arrest. Also, other cops should have assisted Chauvin in the arrest when they witnessed the difficulty in restraining Floyd. To watch someone applying pressure with a knee to the back of the neck of a perpetrator makes the other cops derelict in their duty as police officers.

Without a doubt if the races were reversed, or both the same race Black on Black you would feel differently. There would barely be a ripple.

reply

That's the thing, sentencing is left by the citizens to choose his judgement. Defense and prosecutor have to convince them to vote for one side or the other through litigation and evidence pointing. In the end, don't matter what we think since it'd be the same for us judging others once you're called upon jury duty.

reply

More pseudo-intellectual babble, meaning you don't know what you're talking about, you just keep misleading others on here with your uninformed, speculating, horseshit!

reply

Oh shit, you caught me. Alright, I will come clean. It was all planned by the deep state. Kamala was behind this and made sure the white cop got punished to the full extent with lack of any credible evidence. The jury were all pre-selected by Joe Biden and swore to the progressive left that they will make sure he is guilty on all accounts. The judge works under Senator Klobuchar who choose him as a plant.

reply

Those counts fit well with what was shown in the video. They didn't overdo it and didn't underdo it either.

reply

LOL

reply

You should really just shut the hell up....

reply

The Guilty verdicts on Counts 1 & 2 were given out of fear of reprisals. Count 3 is more justified which depends on the laws of the state. This will immediately go to appeal. Number one the judge should have granted a change of venue. Do people really believe the guy got a fair trial? If you do...you are dreaming! The re-trial will be moved and a justifiable verdict will be given...Involuntary Manslaughter.

reply

I can hear the voices bemoaning “Damn it! We had it all planned as to where everyone was going to start! I need a new TV and man did you see those new $200.00 shoes! I was going to get me some of those! Maybe we can find a reason after all it’s been awhile since I got me some good stuff!”

reply

They need to grant Chauvin a new trial for the many violations of his due process rights that occurred in connection with this farce of a trial.

If not, Murder 3 and Manslaughter 2 should be thrown out by an appeals court as being lesser included offenses. It violates the double jeopardy clause of the Constitution to convict someone on multiple offenses for the same criminal act.

Go burn down a Target.
