IMO Derek Chauvin is a JERK.
That’s a brave stance to take. We need more people with your fortitude and righteousness. Please stand firm through the slings and arrows that will come your way.

I’m working my way up to publicly criticizing hate and bigotry in general. Fasten your seat belt! More edgy commentary incoming.

Gee. A cop who killed black guy doesn't merit secure housing. I wonder who the hell would?
Let's kill him before the sentence is reduced or part of the conviction is overturned.
Guilty, not guilty, the man did not receive a fair trial.
Just another milestone as we slouch our way into a fall.

I feel for the two cops who had been on the force for all of a couple of weeks and were charged. They got 3 year+ terms for obeying their supervisor.
Totally. And for me, even Chauvin's murder charge was too much. I could see involuntary manslaughter at the worst. But the ship has sailed on opinions or how history will remember the event.

At least the irrational histrionic reaction was on the right side of history.

There is a documentary just released. Among the revelations is that Floyd had been saying he "couldn't breathe" even while he was standing up. He also had potentially fatal levels of opiates and meth in his system.
Loury and McWhorter discussed it on Loury's podcast released today. McWhorter's opinion on the incident shifted. Recognition was given to the fact that you still can't utter out loud that maybe the cops didn't receive fair justice. Welcome to Joe Biden's America.
