Chauvin went overboard, agreed, but not because of race. George Floyd didn't deserve death, but murder was not Derek Chauvin's intention.

The trial was unfair. Thugs were threatening to burn Minneapolis (and many other cities) down if he was not found guilty on all charges. They surrounded the court house. Congresswoman Maxine Waters called on them to get "more confrontational" if Mr. Chauvin was not found guilty. The jury was not sequestered so they were exposed to the biased media narratives, including the one that states Mr. Chauvin was racist for which there is absolutely no evidence; even the prosecution did not present evidence of that. A defense witness' former house was also vandalized with animal blood splashed all over it and a decapitated pig's head left in front.
The convictions don't make sense either.
Unintentional second-degree murder is when a person commits a felony (they alleged Mr. Chauvin committed third-degree assault) resulting in the death of a person. Third-degree assault is defined as the intentional infliction of substantial bodily harm. Mr. Chauvin did not want to harm Mr. Floyd. He was just trying to hold him down while arresting him.
The third-degree murder charge alleged Mr. Chauvin caused Mr. Floyd's death by "perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life." Historically in Minnesota the charge has been used for a dangerous act that puts many people at risk, such as shooting into a crowd, hence the plural "others". Even if this charge could be for an act directed at a single person, Mr. Chauvin did not demonstrate a "depraved mind".
The second-degree manslaughter charge alleged Chauvin caused Floyd's death by "culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm." Mr. Chauvin did not consciously take a chance.
Furthermore, Mr. Floyd may have died from the drugs he took. In a previous arrest in 2019 he also took drugs and was taken to the hospital because he had extremely high blood pressure. Mr. Floyd dying fro

George Floyd was a criminal and deserved to die. Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong and should be freed immediately. Another civil war is coming and if Chauvin isn't freed now the Republican victory of the war will see him freed. God bless all of you.

Derek is a HERO! Police aren't Praised enough only the Police Officers know what it is to put their lives in harms way. The Criminals, forgers, drug users, thieves only think of themselves while running way like the cowards they are. How can a Police officer protect themselves while a mob of chaotic ruthless Protesters approach without regrets. I pray and hope Derek Chauvin gets to appeal and gets the acquittal he deserves!!!!

How ironic, This is a "black" day for all citizens of the world
The policemen are risking their lives, and the people do not know how to recognize a good and understand the situation, all the policemen all over the world must unite and demonstrate against it

If the jury was 12 police officers who walked the beat for 15 or more years, then it’s a fair trial.
