Today the defense in the Chauvin trial took the opportunity to use their opening statements to utterly destroy the entirety of the case for George Floyd being murdered by Derek "Take The Knee" Chauvin.
Keith Ellison set the bar too high thus guaranteeing an acquittal. Chauvin and the other 3 officers are going to be acquitted and immediately after there will be rioting and possibly lots and lots of black on white violence nationally.
I predicted this last spring when the whole thing started and I can tell you that right now I am wishing I was not still living here. Our local and national news are desperately fanning the flames and if you read on my local news outlets they are already mobilizing in order to maximize the devastation that is to come.
I am a little concerned that the powers that be have a full on extinction agenda for anyone who is white. I think when you put as much effort into ginning up the hate that it isn't just to sell advertising or get viewers to pay attention to your media outlets.
Every last article that I have seen is dripping with bias and it disgusts me.
I can tell you right now that if Chauvin is actually convicted, I would be shocked. Because I honestly believe the powers that be want to see this country tear itself apart and then beg for help from their Chinese benefactors to bring calm.

In his defense, Floyd had some 3x the "fatal" amount of drugs in his system, but some argue tolerance can be built up with usage. This could mean his death was in part due to the drug, and in part due to the knee, in which case Chauvin contributed to his death.
Further, there are 3 murder counts against Chauvin, 2nd degree, 3rd degree and manslaughter. I thought in most states 3rd degree and manslaughter are the same thing but it seems in MN they are not. People talk only about whether he'll be found guilty or not guilty, but no one talks about which of the 3 charges he may be guilty of. I don't think he can be convicted of all 3 as the jury would/should choose which, if any, is most appropriate, and doubtless manslaughter has the lowest bar to prove.
Half of the jury is black and half white, and one jurist was quoted as stating a prior conversation in which he said "it could have been me". For some reason, he wasn't excused.
It could be a manslaughter conviction would only yield something like a 6-10 year sentence, with credit for time served and which would make him eligible for parole some 4-7 years from now, and certainly any sentence short of 20 years in prison will be more cause for rioting.
Of course a hung jury is always a very real possibility as it only takes one hold out to make that happen.

Doubtful, the jurors know that if they acquit they will be thrown to the Antifa/BLM dogs. Don't let your longing for justice and fairness cloud your judgement. US is a full-blown communist dictatorship now.
I'm pretty certain that's assured regardless of the verdict.
