If that bastard gets off, I doubt his life would be worth a plugged nickel.

I have seen people die that were old and sick, but fortunately have not seen anyone murdered except on TV news.

They are acting relaxed and casual because they feel superior to some subhuman black criminal and feel they are teaching him a much-needed lesson about how to respect them and stay in his place, rather than stand up to them. No better than the overseers on the old southern slave plantation, which is what the cops have become in most urban cities with a large minority population. An occupying army of plantation-type overseers.

I saw my best friend at age 17 get crushed between a parked car and a car driven by a drunk driver who had a BAC of .18 and got away with only 1 month in jail and 3 yrs probation, as the drunk driving laws in 1984 weren’t strict at that time

They should ALL fry for what they did to that man.

I've been watching some of the trial on MSNBC and I have two conclusions from it. One is that if the cop is not convicted of at least one of the charges, then Minneapolis is going to burn, and if it does I really hope that the fires are limited to just the police stations and the courthouse, which is what should burn. Second, the next time a cop puts a black man in a chokehold or holds a knee on a black man's neck for several minutes, I hope the onlookers rush the cop and either kill him, beat him as a group, or force him to shoot them in cold blood, rather than let another white cop execute a black man without resistance. I would love to see a whole mob attack and overwhelm a racist murdering cop the same way the rioters were allowed to invade and occupy the nation's capital. It's time to see some balancing of the scales.

Because if that happened even once, it might make the next cop like Chauvin think twice about staying put and murdering a black man for his own twisted racist pleasure and instead choose self preservation by letting the man go and getting the fuck out of there. It's time for the class of former slaves to rebel and take the whip out of the overseer's hand. The Black Panthers were right, just ahead of their time, maybe....
