maybe, but Waters, and Bidens inciting remarks cannot go unpunished. The jury was scared shitless, as was the judge, the cops, and everyone else. Verdict by intimidation is not the way our system works. Having said that, I do think Chauvin was guilty and should be put in jail for a long time. But this crap of trying to influence "justice" must also be punished. The cops who stood by and did nothing are also guilty.
But, a question, would Floyd have died anyway from the drugs and his heart condition if he had not resisted arrest? We will never know, but its a valid question.
That seems to be the general consensus. After this verdict, they'll rush for a deal.
Still, I don't know if they will face much jail time. They were subordinates who actually tried to do the right thing on more than one occasion. It was Chauvin who tortured Floyd both with strangulation and with joint manipulation.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
