    Wake up. Hey man what is something that I can do that is productive? Do that. Stay out of trouble. Educate yourself. Repeat. Not a hard formula.

    It’s all good as long as the cops aren’t involved.

    I am not listening or watch the trial, I just read summaries. Is the state going to get to some facts at some point other than just emotional BS?

    Going to be pissed if the trial is still on TV at 4:30. Aaron is hosting jeopardy today.

    All the way mad I do not need or want to watch that trial bullshit, much less what some talking head thinks I should think about what I saw on TV.

    BLM protestors are blocking the road in front of the Hennepin county courthouse, if you do not honk your horn in support they block your path.

    I am no lawyer but this is no slam dunk for the prosecution. My prediction is that there will be more riots after the verdict.

    I would also say if you are only reading the headlines of the news its looking like there is no way he doesn't get convicted, which will make people even more upset and wanting to "get justice" in "other" ways.

    The media, The President, and other public servants need to put the rhetoric aside and do what they can to stop the "upcoming riots."

    I hear similar things to this everywhere, "there will be riots no matter the verdict"
    People have already been preconditioned to accept that rioting & looting will take place. This is unacceptable.

    The country needs to take a stand on that issue right now. And our leaders/media should be using their power to put flames out, not fan them until they are out of control! We cannot give thugs license to destroy.

    I have purposely avoided the Chauvin trial, as I know my opinion isnt worth dog crap when it comes to whether Derek is innocent or guilty. I only wish to see justice be done, and no more innocent people hurt over this crapfest.

    People around here could care less since pretty much everybody knows that type of thing couldn't possibly happen around here simply due to the fact that we have a really big police force... And I don't mean big in terms of how many officers we have (there are only 7) but more so in terms of the actual size of the officers. It is safe to say that most of the cops around here would not have even considered getting our their car to approach George Floyd on foot unless he was walking around with a tub of fried chicken and some little Debbie snack cakes that they could confiscate.

    I think if he’s convicted it will be a lesser charge and there will still be riots

    George Floyd had experience from getting arrested, he did not learn from numerous occourances, George had a part in his own death by the way he behaved during the process.
