That's the exact same thought I had. I know they won’t, and I’m glad they won’t, but I wouldn’t blame them at all.

I hate seeing the Left win. I hate seeing bullies and threats of violence win. I hate seeing corrupt politicians get what they want. I hate mob justice being encouraged. I don't like how George Floyd was treated after he was subdued and he stopped resisting. I think that was careless and cruel. I would not have wanted to be treated like that. But I don't think these charges are appropriate to the offense.

As wcb6092 stated:

I miss Law Enforcement and would love to be an Officer again but only in a Post apocalyptic world or maybe the Afghan National Police will hire me.

This sh**t is why after 15 years in LE/Investigations I am hanging it up and going into Explosives/Mining, Pile Driving, etc..

What a sham and a crock.

I have seen dopes serve less than 10 years on a double homicide. Then get out and within six months kill a young lady. ( This was one of my cases in Charlotte NC)

But I didn't think it would go any other way.

Does this mean riots or no riots?

Riots either way & I wouldn't even consider policing them were I an LEO.

Would be nice to have a persistent protests at the residences of select politicians. Make it uncomfortable for them to stay at home.

So police officers that are looking forward to their pension have to weigh their continued employment towards that quest and their belief in serving the public good, versus going to jail for perhaps a significant part of the remainder of their lives... simply for performing their job. How sad and I'm sorry any officer has to face such a decision because of the Left's idiocy.

The uneducated liberal dickbags are having a collective sigh of relief. Makes me sick.

Exactly.

Makes me sick at my stomach.

Anyone who enters this profession right now is nuts.

Lets see, the Mob got their way, so yes that means there will be MORE riots to try and get their way in other cities. Progressive Prosecutors will follow the same game plan to convict other cops and citizens.

But 5.56 does. It appears we've just about reached that point.

It saddens and sickens me that there isn’t one single juror on the panel the integrity to be honest. I’m seriously mulling over early retirement so I don’t end up in the same boat for doing my job and losing everything. Justice died a little more today.

What's the most effective way to scatter a mob? Answer: From a considerable distance.....

I'll bet those jurors were terrified to find any other verdict than guilty.

One thing I don’t understand is how they can give a guilty verdict on all 3 counts? I always thought is someone dies, it could be manslaughter or murder, and there are different degrees of murder, but in the end, it’s only one. If it’s manslaughter, it’s not murder. If it’s second degree murder than it’s not manslaughter or first degree murder, and so on. Multiple charges, but the jury chooses which one, if any, is appropriate to the exclusion of the others.

Can someone with real legal knowledge explain how this works?

I doubt it. I'm betting they were chomping at the bit from the get go to find Chauvin guilty.

He was going to be guilty no matter what, they knew what wold happen if he was found innocent, the jurors would have a target on their backs.
