Yep, Chauvin is being slow walked to the sacrifice. There could be a video of him pulling kittens and a bunch of babies of all races out of an orphanage, and they would still fry him. His only hope is some people on the jury that can and will follow the evidence and see through the theatrics. Not going to bet on that though.

So, innocent until proven guilty and the premise that it's better that a guilty person go free rather than a single innocent man be falsely imprisoned is forgotten?

Now we use the justice system to set examples? Innocence or guilt no longer matter - it's all about the message?

I can't convey how fucked up our government is. Truly, we need to shake the tree.

NO, they're going to go with what is right and proper and ethical and find Chauvin innocent of the charges and face down the low intellect mobs for the good of everyone.

Have some faith in at least one juror.

I have a dream.

Mayor of Minneapolis is on a roll. First he succeeded in closing an Apple store because parking was gutted to add bike paths, and now Target says “see ya”.

I live near the Brooklyn Park campus, it’s pretty freaking nice!

Smart move on Targets part.

deck is totally stacked against Chauvin in Minneapolis

Prosecutors have "volunteer" help

https://www.powerlineblog.com/...uvin-trial-day-4.php


Former Obama administration acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argued the reinstatement issue via Zoom on behalf of the prosecution. Katyal is contributing his services to the prosecution

so is Maslon partner Steve Schleicher and Blackwell Burke partner Jerry Blackwell.

Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank will apparently lead the trial team in court with their assistance and that of another attorney or two from the Attorney General’s office.

Christina Marinkakis has been introduced several times as part of the prosecution team. She is a jury consultant

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First, the defense struck Juror #1. She said she had trouble with English. She sounded like someone who struggled with the language, and the Mexican immigrant needed her husband to read her the questions from the juror questionnaire, which were posed in English. Well, her husband and Google translate. Judge Cahill did not , however, strike her from the jury pool, and in fact, denied the defense motion to do likewise. So, the defense used a peremptory challenge, and she was sent home.

And George Floyd's family has reportedly settled with the city of Minneapolis for $27 million.

Well that's perfect

^^^^
More like the city of Minneapolis has capitulated to George Floyd's family.

Maybe the business owners that suffered property loss can sue them for damages.

^^^^^^^^^^This

In many (all ?) of these settlements, there is a common name - Ben Crump.

First heard of him in Trayvon Martin days. Crump is a lawyer and he is right there when shootings occur. He must be making a fortune representing the families.

Ben Crump - Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Flint water crisis, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake. and more

FIFY just for the sake of accuracy.

almost as bad as a lawyer that hangs out in an emergency room with a fist full of business cards hoping that a doctor or nurse screws up

Boy that Lisa Bender from the City Council is a C-Word.

Bender explained the council voted for the record breaking settlement because 'our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.'

And the fun continues in Portland, OR.
It's cold but dry recently.

I thought of calling CQ on 17M today, and adding after my callsign; 'Near Antifa Oregon'.

I wonder how many financial predators/scammers have their sights on them?

And a slight thread drift, I understand Target announced they are moving much of their HQ out of Minneapolis. I wonder if the underlying reasons include the political/economic malaise of the city?

This is going to become a career path for some of these families. Keep spitting out kids and put them on the street and hope for the best. Maybe one will hit the payday for ya.
