Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22½ years

that's about 22.5 too many

Meanwhile Crackhead Floyd is exalted as a hero.

SMDH

How long before he gets killed in prison? No glorifying it at all. Serious question. Those animals are going to tear him apart.

Bottom line. Floyd had enough Fetanyl in his system to kill an elephant

I'm sure he will leave prison in a pine box

Maybe a retrial is in his future?

Very well could be.

He will be segregated in prison, thus his sentence will be virtually in solitary confinement. It will be much like those in Supermax, at least in the beginning.

That motion was made by Chauvin's attorney today and the Judge denied it. Next recourse for Chauvin would be the Appeals Court. Not sure that would be before or after his Federal Case hits the courts.

He'll be canonized later as Saint George of Floyd! They'll burn methamphetamine and rock cocaine around his alter as they remember his goodness.

and pour out 40's

No way the trial judge was going to grant that motion.

Welcome to the USA

Where LEOs are the criminals, and criminals are the victims.

Guessing the same sentiment for the perp?

Chauvin asked for probation without prison time, which was a pipe dream, the prosecutor asked for 30 years. I figured he'd 20.

And the idiots are in control of this train.

I say he appeals in 5-10 years

this is a travesty of justice...no way did he intend to kill that worthless p.o.s.......

That is why he was found guilty of 2nd degree instead of 1st degree murder

It’s a shame, but it wasn’t going to end well. Mob rule won and justice once again was derailed.

People aren’t happy about this… you could have give him life sentence and they still wouldn’t be happy.

Could you imagine the war that would have gone down if they came out and said not guilty? Jesus…

He was sacrificed up, it is what it is

That's the problem with the working class tax paying American people.it is what it is everyman for himself.

Absolutely

Now he faces a real problem.

Cast his lot with the white gangs in an effort to stay alive only to have the media say it proves him racist…ot,

Go it alone and leave in a pine box.

Two scenario’s here…
1- Find him not guilty and watch all the Democratic cities burn to the ground.
2- Find him guilty and make Floyd the next great hero for the liberal agenda.

Plus those that were on the jury pretty much had him convicted before the first witness said a word. They knew that the BLM, Antifa groups would find them and destroy everything they owned, plus maybe their life.

Floyd was a rotten, lowlife criminal that digested enough drugs to kill a horse. But now his face will be put up action for the next round of riots, looting, burnings of cities…..all the while the Democratic leaders will cheer them on.

Like a witch hunt.

Pretty much sums it up.

Chauvin won't be housed with the general population. So far he has been in solitary confinement and I would expect that not to change.

Any kind of reasonable appellate review should send it back....it just can't stand up to a fair examination

Common theme in all these incidents and that is resisting. I would have never been on that jury but if I has it would have been hung.

Me too, heck we may still be there if I were on the jury….. no way would I have voted guilty for any type of murder.
Maybe not knowing when to take his knee off the back of his shoulder blade, that might of constituted a misdemeanor with a $100 fine. That would have been my only voting for any charges.

He could sell pictures of guards kneeling on his neck. I know I would buy one.

I have to bite my tongue! Ridiculous!

Not a high percentage but enough LEOs that are bad actors that something needs to be done. Once a guy is cuffed and under control, there is no reason to keep a knee on his neck. It is time to stop that kind of nonsense. Chavin was clearly guilty based on the evidence and the 22 1/2 years is appropriate with possible parole after 16 or so years. I doubt there is much room for a successful appeal.

I wonder what will happen concerning the good Samaritan being killed by the police in Arvada, Colorado after he killed a cop killer! Will the cop who thought he was killing the bad guy get 22 years in prison. Would not likely happen in Texas but Colorado is kinda Lib Land as we all-well most of us- know! That is a really sad story all the way around!

He won't make it two years. Whether he takes himself out or someone else does it for him is yet to be determined.

There are some LEO's in Prison across America who are still alive and they all aren't in SHU, There are a couple of facilities in the Country where LEO's are housed at no risk for being murdered. South Dakota used to be one. I too think a retrial and freedom is in his future.

Probably nothing

Tens of millions of LE/citizen contacts annually......what percentage involve misconduct that is egregious?? Let me help you, the number is so [censored] small it's not even a number, it's an anomaly....until there are robots, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO HAVE A SMALLER [censored] FAILURE RATE!!!!!

his expression
he is not ready for this
should have shown some mercy
but
the key to our path
is forgiveness

I disagree strongly-

But then I probably agree with you as much as there are actual bad cops, not the made up ones people who support resisting arrest think there are.

I believe most leo's saw what Chauvin did as wrong.

They are probably more afraid of the results and people who don't think about how many decisions they have to make and how seldom cops perform that poorly. People tend to categorize others without any reason to do so.

I have had a fairly close relationship with the police for 30 years. I know many in the fire and law enforcement community.
So whenever I see a police car drive by I smile and give a wave. Most times they wave back.
My wife and kids all do the same.

Been a black cop on a white dude you would have never heard a thing about it. They were just scared that folks were going to burn down the country so they had to make an example out of him to save the cities.
