Correct. It was a sound trial, the jury delivered their verdict. There’s nothing to overturn. They will appeal but he’s done. As he should be.

Agree. Time to stop calling this country systemically racist. Pockets, yes, systemic racism? No. This is the least racist country in the world right now.

Should have been accused and convicted of first degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison.

But I’ll take this verdict, given prior history of police sentencing.

No.

The opposite.

It was not first degree murder.

Oh my lord. Is that your takeaway? This sounds like "we have a black president, we must be post racist now." We are so screwed.

Because racists will just dig in that much harder on their racism. Not because decent people agree.

If the 17-year-old girl hadn't taken that video, Chauvin would've gotten away with it.

I prayed for justice, just this once. I’ve seen so much injustice. Thank you, thank you, thank you. HOSANNA!

Wherever you believe there’s systemic racism today, please say where exactly.... right here.

You really think so? I don’t foresee unity, but I also don’t think this will be especially divisive. I think the majority of Americans feel that Chauvin used excessive force that resulted in Floyd’s death.

Decent, Constitution-respecting cops just breathed a sigh of relief.

Absolutely.
