    It would be better if she held her comment after the verdict was read, in my opinion. Now the defense is going to wind us all up waiting to see if they can get a mistrial which you know they're going to try for. Even if they don't have much probability of getting it we're going to have our collective stomachs in knots waiting for a definitive answer.
    Sure she had the right but was it wise?
    Tucker? Forget that asshole, most people have.

    It’s a true statement, it’s just horrendously out of context and devoid of facts. It’s really a pretty typical media headline.

    BREAKING NEWS: Derek Chauvin is indicted by federal court for violating George Floyd's civil rights AND case where he knelt on neck of boy, 14, for 17 minutes in 2017 as other Floyd cops also face civil rights charges
    • A federal grand jury indicted Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao Friday, accusing them of willfully violating Floyd's civil rights
    • All four cops have been charged with failing to provide medical care to Floyd
    • Chauvin, Thao and Kueng are also charged with violating Floyd's right to be free from unreasonable seizure and excessive force
    • Chauvin was also charged in a second indictment, over a separate 2017 incident where he knelt on a black 14-year-old boy's neck for nearly 17 minutes
    • This is the first time the convicted killer has ever faced charges for this incident
    • The federal charges are separate to the state's which led to Chauvin's trial and conviction last month
    • The other three officers face trial together on August 23 on state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter

    Chauvin will be sentenced today. His attorney is asking for probation with time served.

    Do you really think he's going to earn good time and get out early? Other prisoners are going to place contraband in his cell and rat him out. Anyway to erase his good time will happen to him.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I was wondering if he might need to be placed in solitary for his own protection. A corrupt cop who straight up murdered someone over 9 minutes I can't imagine would be that safe, similar to pedophiles. If he does end up in solitary confinement, I'm okay with 15 years.

    Otherwise, life seemed appropriate, but 15-20 years is still better than I expected going in, so I can accept that.

    Should have been 35 years with no possibility of parole. He got off light.

    1. George Floyd had 5x the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.
    2. There have been prior incidents around the country, of people being accidently killed, while under heavy drug influence, in that position.
    3. MPD trained their officers to use such a hold.
    4. The officers had George Floyd in the vehicle, but he asked to be held on the ground.
    5. According to the autopsy, he was not killed by the knee on his neck.
    6. Jurors were intimidated against returning a verdict other than not guilty

    I watched the full video of the officers interaction with Floyd, and based on the facts above, can 100% say there should have been no murder conviction.

    You can make arguments about manslaughter, with Chauvin being neglegent in some ways, but this was an example of mob justice. And the way the media and every major corporation protrayed it as a lynching, I think it was intended to start civil unrest.

    But anway, nevermind me, go back to cheering for his shanking...
