I gave up on things happening the way I think they should.

I hang the over/under line at 85% for acquittal or mistrial and 15% conviction on something (lay -850 for acquittal, take +150 for conviction). My money line on riots and property destruction no matter what the trial's outcome is -5000 for riots and +200 for nothing to happen.

I hope for an acquittal. Mostly because TPTB have done everything they could to influence the outcome. He is being railroaded imo. It seems he followed his training. Who, exactly is in charge of police training anyway? Don't elected officials have a say? If so, THEY are the guilty ones imo.

Now, about the female cop who accidently shot that guy. I hope she gets found guilty of something. If you or I made a mistake like that, what do you think would happen to us? Cops should not have qualified immunity.

If Chauvin is acquitted, it proves we live in a racist, White Supremacist state that needs wokey.

Maxine Water's visit to Minneapolis this weekend (when the jury was at home) was engineered to school the 50% non-white jury with exactly what was expected and what was at risk. They would surely be doxxed and their lives would be ruined with an acquittal.

I think cops should be trained to call in the K9 guys if they don’t have the ability to cuff a perp.

They need something, Floyd was at least 6-foot-4 and weighed 230 pounds. The largest police officer on the scene was Chauvin, coming in at 5-foot-9 and 140 pounds.

Need pit bull k9 so it's not racist.

I haven't been following all that closely, but I think he gets off. (Mostly peaceful) riots to follow... 😞

Not so sure. It was a rather weak defense. Though that might be because they got one juror they recognized as an advocate and get a hung jury. I've got $100 on it with my buddies dad, but I don't think the defense did all that well. I'll probably lose.

I also haven't watched much myself. From reports though I felt it was kind of a weak defense. We'll see. He won't be guilty on all charges and riots will break out anyway this case breaks. They'll charge him with something. Even if it's all guilty, it's just verification that BLM was "right" and they'll riot anyway. This is a 100% lose lose situation. Get your guns ready if you live in a city either way. Sad we have to live this way.

Orchestrated by the powers that be to further divide us by ideology. Enabled by the media. Many Floyd supporters don't know he overdosed.

I think the use of K9s and batons has been reduced or eliminated because of supposed "racist connotations" they allegedly invoked. The need to use chokeholds and judo neck pressure has arised because the good old "hit them in shoulders and thighs with a batton" method of achieving compliance has been eliminated.

Hung jury. Like, literally, a hung jury. Survivors will need to move away.
