    The WHOLE idea behind the Second Amendment is to address an Oppressive Government. So ... time for Legislature to start reassessing how they want to treat American Citizens.

    Any thread that is premised on the idea that this was not a fair trial should be summarily dismissed.

    Run along and play, Darth.

    Let's have a review of what we want US as a society and civilization to do............do we look at the Chauvin verdict as an intimidated jury making a decision to save their city at the expense of one of it's enforcement agents, or do we look at it as an acknowledgement that we the people are intelligent and KNOW when a crime is being committed by a law enforcement agent? Do we allow one of our fellow citizens to take action to prevent such action by it's government agents or do we let them run amok and hope that one of the co-equal branches of government WE CREATED try to hold some accountability, even at the expense of the lives of one or more of our fellow citizens?????

    we need to really look at how we want to live as a society, not just be ruled by a monster we created and didn't control
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    "99.9% of these bad outcomes would disappear off the face of the planet if more black men would simply stop resisting arrest."

    So....the protestor who was shot on 1/6 would have avoided a bad outcome if she simply didn't try to break through a window to storm the House chamber...right?

    What an interesting double standard.

    There was only one verdict the jury could reach and that is what they did. Chauvin had 17 charges of excessive force filed against him by blacks and whites alike. That right there shows he shouldn't be a cop. But the most damning thing was the video of him with his knee on Floyd's neck even after he had been subdued and cuffed. In a way I am glad Floyd was black because if he had been white this whole thing might have been swept under the rug. We have a race problem in this country and it comes from both sides. Let's treat everyone as equals and get over this antiquated thinking.

    We can answer that. Tony Timpa in Dallas died the same way in 2016. He was white and thus didn't get the coverage. The problem here is the media chooses to only focus on incidents when it's white cops and black victims. Therefore it can almost be understandable people believe outrageous claims about who police officers kill because it's all they are exposed to. (and to be clear I'm talking about deaths. Harassment is a separate story.)

    Yeah. Police Reform. Get your friend Maxine Waters off the Street and back into Congress and pass some Legislation on Police Reform.

    No such thing as jury intimidation in your little world, apparently.

    Maybe business owners in Minneapolis could give the jury a free night on the town. Maybe even give Mad Maxine and Biden a free night at the Holiday Inn Express for their contributions.

    It was a team effort, after all.

    It's not in the purview or power of the federal government to interfere with the policing of any state............the state legislatures must deal with that.......but that still doesn't answer the main dilemma.....do we as a society defer to the government to police it's own agents or do we the people take our power back?????

    I agree with your thought there, EE.

    --->"... I am glad Floyd was black because if he had been white this whole thing might have been swept under the rug."

    This kind of treatment by the Police could have happened to any one of us.
