The Derek Chauvin Trial

A whole parade of cops have testified against him, plus the chief of police. This is not a case of thugs vs. police. In this case, the thugs were the "bad cops" - Chauvin plus the police who did nothing to stop him and watched an unconscious man being choked to death, for maybe passing a counterfeit $20 bill.
 

manslaughter
[ˈmanˌslôdər]

NOUN
  1. the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.
  2. Chauvin did not commit murder. It could be that Floyd was already on his way "out" being that he was overloaded on killer drugs. The stress on his body from the prolonged kneeling on his body possibly hurried along his dieing.
 
"It does matter to a lot of people that George Floyd was attempting to commit a felony." It doesn't matter what caused the police to arrest Floyd, once they placed the cuffs on him, they owned, him, they assumed responsibly for his safety. Having someone, who has just been arrested and is noncooperative is not unknown to police. It wasn't the cops first time in the playground. And quite frankly, it would be nice for a police force not to ineptly kill the people they arrest for crimes. So far all the police, who have taken the stand seem to agree with that.

A dictionary definition is too general in nature. It's elements under Minnesota law is the only interpretation to be relevant.

Star Chamber justice. Gladly not used in a civilized society.

If they commit crimes against the masses, prove it, that's Due Process.

This was one of the grievances against the King laid out in the Declaration of Independence:

"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury".
 
I've got a feeling that no matter what the verdict is, there is a mob lurking just waiting for this trial to end before they start another "protest" which will quickly turn into another riot.....and not only in Minneapolis. Unless Chauvin is found guilty of ALL charges, and thrown in jail for life, I will not be surprised if we witness another round of destruction in cities all over the nation.

No doubt. That happens when a city's team wins the Super Bowl! It's the American way!

No doubt, so it is left to the business and property owners to take out the rioters. Back in the days of moats and Castle's, they used to pour boiling water/ hot tar over the sides. I am of the super opinion that there will be more damage to the rioters this time around.

If it were still an Orange Domain I would agree with you but thank goodness it's not.

The sad fact, that the rioters don't seem to understand, is the haves will rebuild and the have-nots will pay for it.

Right or wrong, it's quite predictable that there will be riots when there is no justice.
