I see the American judicial system has chimped out.

25 minutes before the verdict was read out:

"She was just a kid': Protests held in US state of Ohio after police fatally shoot black teenager

The poor teenager in question was only trying to stab two people.

Seems like a reasonable verdict to me. Kneeling on someone's neck for 9+ minutes when he has already been cuffed and restrained is nothing short of murder. The circus around it is another matter.

If I had a choice of Derek Chauvin kneeling on me for 9.5 minutes or imbibing the amount of fentanyl big Georgie took prior to arrest, I know which option would have the greater success rate.
Mind you, I'd probably have not resisted arrest, thus making my chances of survival even higher.
RIP St Georgie.....

Bit messier than that; she may have been the one who called the police.

Does this not get tiring?

Gonna be hard to recruit new cops in the States from now on. Why would you bother?
Up against violent armed nutters on an almost daily basis and the threat of court and jail looms ominously over your shoulder for just doing your job. No thanks....

I don't think, even in the US, you'd pass screening, so no worries

Ooooooh burn, bitch burn..!

Nah it will be grand. They can still get their kicks by shooting white people, or if they happen to be in an ethnic minority they can shoot minorities.

[Blackout]

The right verdict tbh. Completely excessive.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. Fuck the garda.

Ah yeah he done Floyd, simple as. Sure the 4 cops could have picked him up and put him in the back of the squad in no time instead of kneeling on his neck/back for about 10 mins. Ridiculous stuff really no matter what colour the perp. The doxxing of jurors and the statement about reaching the right verdict from the president weren't really needed all the same, given the evidence available.

I see Pelosi has thanked Floyd for being killed, as if he selflessly offered himself up jesus-style, rather than die while being arrested for a (honestly very minor) crime. The fella did indeed get done bad but the reaction and the beatification of him is something to behold. I think the narrative could be changed a bit from Saint George to Bad Derek, because the two opinions don't necessarily go hand in hand.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. Fuck the garda.

Seriously?

[Kurt Cocaine]

Yeah. About time the Irish feds got popped.
