Black Lives Matter and the Trial Result

As per the following article regarding Black Lives Matter violence if Officer Chauvin is found innocent, how do you think our government leaders should handle such an event? What should President Biden do and what should mayors of cities do?

In 2020 violence was supposedly a "good thing" -- but I wonder if it will still be considered "good" in 2021. I hope people have wised up since then.

The key in 2020 to getting as much violence in the streets as possible - was "Signaling" ahead that no police action would be taken. The "anything goes so long as we get some good video for nightly newscast" was a very poor strategy.

Reminds me of a story I once read:

The event of Chauvin being acquitted or the event of violence occurring?

Should be treated like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

I expect them to name a few more parks and streets BLM. Maybe they will even name something after Floyd. BUT if you are expecting them to enforce the law, that will not happen. I expect that regardless of the verdict it will be free tennis shoes and free big screen tv's time.

They should make preparations to meet the opposition head on and uphold the law. What they absolutely cannot do is sit back and tolerate such behavior because it only promotes more anarchy. Pull the rug out from under their feet so they fall on their behind before they get any traction. One thing we cannot afford is another CHOP incident. That whole fiasco only encouraged more lawlessness.

Extremely slippery slope.

It's the police's job to enforce the law (in this case protecting life and property from rioters). Police need to be able to do their jobs.

I’m not sure what exactly he’s being charged with. As for a murder charge given that he didn’t take his knee off of Floyd’s neck for over a minute after the other officer said Floyd had no pulse I think he should be found guilty. As soon as they found that Floyd had no pulse Chauvin should’ve immediately checked Floyd and started CPR if necessary. Now if there’s a hate crime charge he shouldn’t be found guilty of a hate crime because I don’t see any evidence to support it.

Yeah I think Target should start emptying their stores before they announce the verdict. I don’t get the whole “they killed a black man, so I’m going to steal a tv”. Just a lame excuse to go out and steal, has nothing to do with racial equality.

The only purpose of my post was to point out that the court is not going to find the former officer innocent, even should he not be convicted, as that's not how the courts are set up and he will be found guilty or not guilty.

At the moment things don't look good for Mr. Chauvin.

Maybe they should storm the US Capitol and call for the hanging of public officials, then we can say they're just people fighting for freedom.

Naw. They way you fight for freedom is to kill cops, loot and burn stores, tear down monuments, etc.

Even a prosecution witness admitted that he saw that his knee was on the shoulder blade.

Yeah but witnesses are often not as reliable as video evidence because they don’t always recall events as accurately.

Naw? You're describing the terrorist attack on the Capitol where they murdered police officers, destroyed/stole government property and damaged historic landmarks.

Heck, they should storm the courtroom now, try to stop the proceedings. Who cares about the legal process?

The only one that was 'murdered' was that woman protester, Ashli Babbet.

Anyway we'll be defending our freedoms by 'tossing the rascals out' in the midterms.
