You specifically stated that someone should get off even if they were guilty because their victim is a shit human being. That is so gross. That’s all I was commenting on. 

Ah...but IA has already said that he didn't say the thing he said, which is on the boards for anyone to see that he said.  Checkmate Lib.

Oh okay, that’s different. If he says he didn’t say what we can all clearly see that he did say then that makes me wrong I suppose lol

RE: Chauvin Murder Trial
Four former Minneapolis police officers are indicted on charges of violating George Floyd’s civil rights.

Quote:Four former Minneapolis police officers were indicted on charges of violating the civil rights of George Floyd, a Black man whose killing last year led to months of demonstrations against police violence, the Justice Department announced on Friday.

The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury weeks after one of the officers, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Mr. Floyd. The charges are another extraordinary censuring of law enforcement officials, who rarely face criminal charges for using deadly force.

The indictment charges Mr. Chauvin, 45, and other former Minneapolis Police Department officers Tou Thao, 35, J. Alexander Kueng, 27, and Thomas Lane, 38, with willfully depriving Mr. Floyd of his constitutional civil rights during his arrest.

The indictment alleges that by holding his left knee across Mr. Floyd’s neck and his right knee on his back and arm as he lay on the ground, handcuffed and unresisting, Mr. Chauvin used unconstitutional, unreasonable force that resulted in Mr. Floyd’s death.

And evidently the government is still doing the same thing they did with the Mississippi Burning murders. And I’m not sure how necessary this is. Although given that the penalties in cases resulting in death can go all the way up to life in prison and, if I recall correctly, Chauvin’s looking at a prison term that means he could be released while he’s younger than my grandpa currently is, and I don’t know if the other three were actually charged before this, I’m starting to see the wisdom of doing that.

I think I've mentioned before that I'm a big fan of Matt Orchard's content. He's got a new video specifically about the George Floyd case. While he normally tends to focus on police interrogations (just like Jim Can't Swim), in this case, that's not really an option, so he focuses on the trial as well as the event himself. And, yes, he not only shows the footage, but, in his words, "the most upsetting portions of that footage will not just be played in the time to come, they will be played repeatedly, they will sometimes be rewound, slowed down, zoomed in on, and annotated. Not for the purpose of exploiting a tragedy by gratuitously emphasising its most shocking aspects, but to best give viewers the best opportunity to make up their own mind as to the level of Derek Chauvin's level of legal culpability that has been debated in media and recently decided upon by a jury of his peers." As a result, I've put it in hide tags.




It's also worth noting that I recently finished re-reading Grendel, and, at times, rewatching the footage of George Floyd's death reminds me of Beowulf's beatdown of Grendel at the end.

Feel the wall: is it not hard? He smashes me against it, breaks open my forehead. Hard, yes! Observe the hardness, write it down in careful runes. Now sing of walls! Sing!
I howl.
Sing!
“I’m singing!”
Sing words! Sing raving hymns!
“You’re crazy. Ow!”
Sing!
“I sing of walls,” I howl. “Hooray for the hardness of walls!”
Terrible, he whispers. Terrible. He laughs and lets out fire.

Now watching it takes on a new level of horror as I imagine Chauvin demanding George Floyd sing of the hardness of tarmac.

My cousins in MN mentioned that the trial for the other 3 has been moved to 2022, (I think they cited the courts schedule in the announcement.) 
They were happy. Some business in Minneapolis are still boarded up, but most of it is taken down.
