even when it would be the smart and canny play with long term benefits for cops, they still don't let white cops serve time. there's no strategy here. chauvin will get off with a slap on the wrist at most because that's how this country works.

one of the interesting things about the GF murder is that it was universally seen as brutal and wrong, even among most chuds who always defend cops. That changed after it became a BLM thing. The defense would be smart to turn it into just a BLM issue and let the 2-3 blue line chud jurors stonewall

Yeah, which makes it even wierder that the prosecution have decided to make it a BLM thing.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

I agree with everything said so far but I do think long term Chauvin walking or getting a bullshit light sentence will probably break a few more zoomer and millennial brains when riots get brutally put down while the establishment dems and Biden pretend that everything is still ok and tell people to go back to brunch

Its just another thing that will add to the underlying tensions of 2020's America. That dam might break in a decade or two, but not at this moment.

If Chauvin walks and there are riots, it might put Biden's "selfless public servant who's saving america with his kindness and bold progressive relief agenda" facade to the test. Because the messaging at first would be "we hear you. we feel your pain" but if poo poo goes down for a week with no signs of stopping? maybe the tone changes and we see the authoritarian crime bill Biden that the media pretends doesn't exist

when the riots are brutally put down and biden mouths some platitudes which are then endlessly echoed by the mass media, the libs will believe the platitudes. because that's what they want to believe.

Lol I was in 8th grade and hella pissed when OJ got off because he was obviously guilty of murder. It wasn't until later that I realized how brilliant the defense was because they managed to get across to the jury that letting OJ off would be a big gently caress you to the LAPD.

From 29 mins onwards this documentary does by far the best job in showing how the police had hosed up evidence gathering and how many different items they planted OJ's blood on after taking a sample from him a few days earlier. A lot of this info was completely new to me. The media did a good job of vilifying the defence team even though all they did was expose LAPD trying to frame a black man for no reason and the LAPD being full of nazis.

"for no reason" I mean they didn't need to frame OJ. He'd have been found guilty. But I suppose at that point planting evidence had just become an automatic thing at the LAPD.

most likely scenario: he walks free, whatever protests and/or riots happen are downplayed by the media, condemned by liberals and the Biden administration, Biden says it’s sad but does nothing to stop Minneapolis’s Democrat mayor and Minnesota’s Democrat governor. the other three cops walk free, a bunch of the prosecution are killed in “home robberies.”

second most likely: Chauvin gets a light sentence for just manslaughter that may already be over thanks to time served, extra lols if he gets compensated because his sentence is shorter than what he’s already served. Biden and liberals claim they may not like the sentence but justice has been served. the other three cops walk free, a bunch of the prosecution are killed in “home robberies.” less likely because cops really hate convicting their own

third most likely: Chauvin gets an appropriately heavy sentence, which is then used by the media and liberals to act like BLM has done its job and no longer needs to be so radical, making the phrase complete its transformation from a protest slogan to just a generalized black pride under the status quo slogan. Biden takes credit and his approval ratings continue to climb. the other three cops walk free, a bunch of the prosecution are killed in “home robberies.” way less likely because of the above reasons and also the jury makeup

that detective testifying tells me that they're willing to feed this chud to prison for a long rear end time. I think he gets at least 10 in prison and yeah SHM is right that they'll try to say that BLM is no longer needed now since cop racism is over

Yeah, every piece I'm hearing about the trial makes it sound more and more damning for for Chauvin so on the one hand I think the establishment might be wiling to throw him to the wolves to "prove" that BLM accomplished what it set out to do. OTOH it's going to be extremely funny* when they make it as obvious as humanly possible that he's guilty and he still walks and it's going to break so many brains permanently in both directions.
