Expect the opposite from BLM.

They do not want unity.

Was any evidence presented that Chauvin was racist? (I haven’t followed the case closely.)

He wasn’t on trial for being racist, so they didn’t need to present that evidence. AG Merrick Garland announced tonight that the federal investigation into whether Chauvin violated Floyd’s civil rights is ongoing.

The report I listened to said race was not a part of the case, probably because it was not an element of the crimes they needed to prove.

He is still married to a person of color (although she’s divorcing him).

The prosection did an excellent job. Even still, they never convict in these cases. Except this one.

The ACLU said this is the first time in Minnesota state history that a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man.

And Ari Melber at MSNBC tweeted that from 2005 to 2015, across thousands of police killings, the number of police officers convicted of murder for shooting a person was zero.

Why doesn’t he care about one single one of the white men that cops killed?

“Thousands of police killings” doesn’t distinguish what color the victims are.

Except Ari reports on it only if it’s a black victim. I don’t get it.

Got evidence for that?

No, there’s no evidence that Ari ever reported about a white man getting killed by a cop.

He definitely reported on the Daniel Shaver shooting.

Who?

Google, damn you. Type in Daniel Shaver and see what you get.

PS - BLM DID in fact organizer a rally for Daniel Shaver.

Yeah, I'm sure they spent a lot of time and energy on that one. BLM is almost always silent when a white person is the victim.

And odds are he was an abusive sob to her too and she finally felt she could leave safely with all the attention on him.

Because a young woman who called for help was just shot by police. The problems run much deeper than one conviction.

Was it justified?

It sounds like you already made up your mind.

Great question. Was it justifiable for the police to shoot a teenage girl who called them for help. I wonder.

There's no unity with people like you.

“According to her aunt Hazel Bryant, Makiyah called the police because someone in her house was abusing her. She went on to say that police saw a knife on the ground near Makiyah and shot the teenager four times.

A woman identified as Tay Jones wrote on Facebook that she had witnessed the shooting and posted video purportedly from the scene. She said the 15-year-old had a knife “because somebody tried to jump her.” The white police officer who shot her never told her to put down the knife, according to Jones.”

“Police have provided no information about the person shot or the circumstances of the shooting.”

SHE called the police for help because a gang of girls were assaulting her in front of her home. She had a knife she was holding to fend them off until police arrived. Police rolled up and shot her FOUR TIMES within seconds, even though witnesses say she dropped the knife immediately.

Let’s see what the body cams show, but I can attest that in most civilized developed economies police attempt deescalation for at least a few minutes with a ‘suspect’ wielding a knife or other weapon before gunning them down.

She was a black teenaged girl. The cop who shot her four times is white.

This is sickening. I also recommend folks stop engaging with the racist. They are tiresome (as are all racists) and love the attention.

We know you only care about the race of the person shot. Please leave police investigations up to the police. The opinion of people who have no training or experience is irrelevant.

His wife is Asian, not Black.
