The police in America have an unfortunate habit of getting away with murder, should the fact that they were let off in this case have any impact on the chauvin trial do you think?

4 officers present against one man.
Derek didn’t need to use that method of and level of restraint for 9 minutes.
Whilst the suspect complained over 30 times they couldn’t breathe, only to be pretty much ignored.
Derek didn’t give a flying **** good riddance.
Some of the reactions to this verdict are very telling.

This minnesota attorney giving a speech about how George Floyd was a law abiding citizen, a loved man with a loving family. Pity he forgot to mention about the gun Floyd pointed at a pregnant woman's stomach while her house was ransacked by his mates.
That also doesn't negate the point! You don't need to believe that what he did was right to also believe that 2nd-degree murder was a dodgy conviction or that the way these things are handled currently in the media and by some politicians (including local politicians in that city) is dubious. There were three other cops with him too and they all lost their jobs without due process because the mayor threw them under the bus immediately.
As for "well will see" we already have seen, it already started happening last year, this verdict isn't going to change that - why would it?

Hopefully he isn’t given any special treatment and is put into gen pop in prison day 1 for the rest of his sentence.

I guess resisting arrest is going to become hella lotmord popular.

I wondered when this disingenuine fact would come up again.
18 complaints spanning a 20+ year career, so less than one a year. I would suspect that's less than average for a cop in the US.

It was a political trial, not a criminal trial. Different standards apply. Maybe they shouldn't, but that's the way of the world.
Soldato
This thread is an absolute joke. There are posters in here who claim to have watched the whole case and said no way is he guilty, now he's guilty and its clear as day they didn't even understand the charges. If any of you ever get called up for jury duty just tell the judge you aren't fit to serve on a jury.
Soldato
No, if that was his intention he could have roughed him up out of sight or once he was back out on bail. The suspect was no angel, they deal with people like this all the time. He had no reason to go soft on someone using up police resources that would have been needed elsewhere.
Stretching it’s definition is very popular with US police
For bonus points the author of that article also wants to abolish prisons and incarceration completely (as well as the police).
Soldato
Nothing will be good enough for them until the USA does the CHAZ experiment from last year nationally.
Well no, there was a video of him committing the crimes he was on trial for.
Soldato
What's happening to the other police officers that were arrested?
