-War on Police-
Officer Derek Chauvin to be sentenced Friday for 'murder' of George Floyd
2021-06-25
[Aljazeera] Minneapolis, Minnesota, US — Thirteen months to the day after George Floyd was murdered on the streets of south Minneapolis, Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer who put his knee to Floyd’s neck for nine and a half minutes, will be sentenced for the second-degree murder conviction he received on April 20.

While Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges — second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter — Minnesota law stipulates that he will only be given a sentence for the severest of the three because they all arise out of the same behaviour.

#8  /\ Painfully accurate. Can we safely assume Chauvin's grave will also eventually be vandalized and allowed to grow up in weeds ?

His conviction was written the day of his arrest.
Despite Floyd fleeing the scene, having to be chased down, resisting arrest, ingesting his own illegal drugs, that more than likely killed him.

But as things quiet down, the courts will allow a politically timed retrial. Simply to cover the many Prosecutions illegal processes that have already been found and documented. Like, delaying discovery or hiding evidence, selecting known bias Jury members and more.

In short
It is my opinion he was arrested to appease the BLOM and support the Socialist-Democrat Election year Voting agenda. All of which were funded by by certain Anti-USA parties during the 2020 election year.

When will this retrial happen?
I predict, just in time for the next national election cycle to get the Black voters stirred up.

#3  Needs a retrial, change of venue, and a balanced jury.

For venue you need (IMO) a place that won't hesitate to use "excessive force" to disperse the ensuing BLM riots.

Chauvin was railroaded at the trial by the fact the guy was dying from a self induced drug overdose...

Needs a retrial, change of venue, and a balanced jury.
