Groups calling for justice for George Floyd Marched in downtown Minneapolis Monday night.
They say they will be protesting during key parts of the trial. On Monday, lawyers in the trial of Derek Chauvin – the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of Floyd – made their opening statements.
"We're not asking for justice," Del Shea Perry said. "We're demanding it." (snip) One protester chained herself to the security fence around the Hennepin County Government Center. She said she does not plan to leave until state leaders sit down with the families that are impacted by police violence.

They don't want "justice". They want a lynching of a white police officer no matter if he is guilty or not!!!!
And there will be destructive riots, looting, and destruction by a bunch of racist thugs no matter the outcome.
We have seen this played out too many times...

They want justice? George Floyd died after his Covid-infected lungs filled with fluid. And it didn't help that he overdosed on hard drugs.
Want to sue somebody? Sue the Chinese government for the deadly virus and the Mexican cartels for making and distributing illicit, deadly drugs.

#1 - Chauvin and the others are guilty and deserve to be jailed for life.

This is beginning to resemble an old fashioned lynching legal or otherwise.

I quite agree. There should be justice. Unfortunately I call for justice which is color blind. And justice which is in accordance with facts. And justice which follows existing law.
BLM and Antifa do not want color blind law. They want law which discriminates on the basis of skin color. To the mobs white is evil, and black is good. Justice which varies according to skin color is no justice at all, as we are all the same under our skin.
BLM and Antifa do not want justice which is in accordance with facts. They will have no truck with toxicity screens which show a many dying of a drug overdose. They have no interest in a man who resisted being moved to a medical facility. They want what they want, which is blood. What they want is what the KKK wanted in 1880: folk hanged by the neck until dead.
BLM and Antifa have no use for existing law. It does not matter to them that Minneapolis had a written code for handling citizens who resisted restraint or transportation. The code required them to held in a position from which they could not harm themselves or others. The code was followed.
Due to the man's ingestion of illegal and dangerous substances, he passed. I suspect he would have passed no matter what the police had done.
But BLM and Antifa must find an excuse for their mostly peaceful protests, in which lives were lost and property was damaged. And if they do not get their way, more lives will be lost and more property damaged. If they do get their way, lives will be lost and property damaged anyway.
So exonerate Chapin, and go on with your lives.

Didn't this kind of prejudicial activity once result in mistrials being declared?
My, how things have changed.

Ummm - - like - - is it OK for me to "demand" justice too?
Well then - - I demand that Officer Chauvin be completely exonerated - - because he had nothing to do with St. Floyd taking massive overdoses of narcotic drugs - - and dying from the heart attack which they caused.
Yes - - I demand that.

Demographics does not lie, but the MOB does. STOP committing crimes and police will ignore you ... but that's ust too simple for those who need to excuse criminal behavior, by some, as SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. Reparations won't fix that. Society MUST try families with fathers present instead.

Wow, #4 must be Jesus, because he knows everything before the facts are presented!!!!
Gee, I wish I was that "all knowing". I have sort of always believed that we base our findings on logic, reason, and facts. It must be nice to be so omnipotent that you don't need any of that stuff to come up with a finding!!!

If there is justice, the trial will be dismissed, and Chauvin will go free. Doing your job is not a crime.

Actual justice would be turning Chauvin loose and dropping all charges.
They don't want justice, they want a lynching.

So we’re now clear on this: the Black Losers Mob does not trust the judicial system nor a jury including three times as many people of color as is demographically the case in Minneapolis.
And its idea of a cult hero is a drug addict with a foot-long criminal rap sheet
Why do the media and leftwing haters fawn on such garbage thugs? You know they’re just chomping on the bit, waiting for the signal to start looting again. That’s the real fuel for these “protesters.”

IMO, if Chauvin is guilty of anything it is allowing GF's condition to deteriorate severely without even checking for a pulse. He showed zero concern for the person who was now completely under his control. At least one of the other officers and very, very credible witnesses (the firefighter, the Martial Arts expert and even the dispatcher) could clearly see that something was going very wrong for this suspect.
It is very difficult to watch the witnesses describe what was going on and to hear them on video pleading for the cops to do something to help GF. Yes, GF is responsible for getting himself to this point. But how far can a police officer go? I don't know this yet and will wait for defense witnesses to explain what Chauvin's responsibilities were toward the suspect.
The defense will say that the officers were concerned about the growing crowd which was becoming more vocal and loud. But there was no misbehavior by the onlookers. I have been to this point steadfast believed that Chauvin is innocent because he followed all procedures. I'm not so sure about that after the testimony thus far. I don't think the officers who originally arrested GF did anything wrong. They put him on the ground when he asked them to. One of them expressed concern for him to Chauvin. At this point I am truly not liking what I see. But I will suspend final judgement until all the evidence is heard.

Justice means due process and a fair trial. That's not what the mob is demanding. They want Chauvin to be declared guilty of murder.

Don't forget that this model citizen complained more than once about not being able to breathe BEFORE he was on the ground.
