At first glance, the Chauvin sentence strikes me as middling – not as much as he deserves, more than might be expected from the “criminal justice system,” at this point. At least we didn’t hear the standard response to police misbehavior: “We have investigated and found no evidence of wrongdoing.”

Precise-O-Metrically, RahmItThru!
I stopped reading halfway into the first sentence.
RINO is a compliment for this piker. If I used the proper adjectives, I’d be banned from this site.

Logic itself is now proclaimed to be a 'White Racist' concept.
Yet we continue to cast our pearls before swine.
Past time to ".....cry havoc and loose the dogs of war."

Didn't I read an article here yesterday - or day before - explaining how an autopsy proved that Floyd was not killed by Chauvin? false is true and true is false - definitely the beginning of the end times, or maybe the middle of them.

Chauvin did nothing wrong. The article writer gives all his spittle, and I stopped reading it. Hit the road, Jack.

I totally disagree with this author. Chauvin should have been given the minimum--while he appealed. He did not intend to kill Floyd. And his actions were not so reckless (if at all) that he would have know that Floyd would die. Maybe he was negligent, at most. And if the crowd hadn't been there, posing a potential threat, Chauvin and the other police would have have been essentially frozen in their actions.

Couple of things: Mr. Dunn - I want to see you do a beat police officer's job for just one day and them come back and write garbage like this article. Also, who the heck is Newsmax host, Rob Finnerty this morning to comment about Chauvin's eyes at his sentencing and how weird was his statement and then apology to the Floyd family? The man is a cruel victim of a two tier justice system who had the great misfortune of responding to an overdosing crap career criminal and drug abuser George Floyd whose only accomplishment in life was overdosing and dying in the custody of police and thereby resoling in his crap family getting millions in tax dollars for his death.

Why is this clod unable to understand that Floyd's system was awash in a lethal mix of drugs? And that the autopsy showed no constriction or damage to his airway?

The Author is probably trolling for an invite to a premium Fourth-of-July cookout on Martha's Vineyard.

I originally thought, from the early reports, that Chauvin was exactly as he was portrayed, a brutal, stupid thug.
As time went on, I get to hear about a number of things:
1. He was trying to pass counterfeit money. That was the first thing I heard.
2. The cop knelt on his neck and essentially the second thing I heard.
I heard nothing else for a while, and moved on, but was still aware of the case because the BLM Activist Community were tearing up cities with his death as an excuse.
3. After a while I heard the initial autopsy report that was released. That the drugs in Floyd's system were enough to kill him. Then I heard two different conclusions - a. that he was asphixiated or b. he was not asphixiated... What?
4. Floyd had a history of heart problems (and he was stupid enough to take drugs that would further damage his heart.) At this point I began to look more closely at the case again.
5. Various people bragged/testified about how they threatened the police officer restraining Floyd.
6. I learned there was an entire CROWD threatening the police, and interfering with the medics who had been called to the scene to treat Floyd.
7. I learned that the prosecutors in question and the BLM were essentially in cahoots.
8. I saw the body cam footage of Chauvin and where his knee was....
Chauvin was framed by a kangaroo court, to back up political positions used to justify and defend the anarchy the Democrats and their supporters, like Soros were spreading around the country. He followed his training and had he not been threatened, and the medics had arrived without being delayed, Floyd might even have survived. HE DID NOTHING WRONG - NOT IN INTENT AND NOT IN PERFORMANCE.
Floyd died. He died because of his choices. He died because of the angry crowd. he died because other people were committing crimes (It is a crime to threaten the police in any state of the union) His blood was on their hands. But there are still some questions...
Where did Floyd get the drugs? Where did he get the counterfeit $20? Who called in the fact he was passing counterfeit money? (Where i live, we only check $50s & $100s, regularly.) Who organized the crowd? Most places including cities where I've been, the crowd passes by going about their own business on a minor arrest. Only once the ambulances arrive to crowds gather.
Was this a setup from the beginning? Did some activist supply Floyd with Drugs they knew would kill him, hand him a fake $20 and called the police to involve them, then have a crowd primed to interfere, in the intent to cause Floyd's death or serious injury to justify political ends? BTW, I ask this as well on almost every school shooting. It's very easy to manipulate children, when you are pushing them to excess, instead of trying to restrain them to be temperate (Double-Dog Dare you!)
The 1619 project contains a kernel of truth. In Europe, for centuries, the Elites have controlled the masses with false flag operations, lies, bribery, creating divisions in their subjects to force them to turn away from clogged justice systems and to influential individuals for protection. When Jamestown was established, the people who came were the second and third sons who grew up with wealth only for their older sibling to inherit. They sought their power in America as adventurers, certain they could conquer or steal enough to return to Europe and establish their own titles and authority. They enslaved native Americans, they imported enslaved Africans. Their own servants from Europe were often treated like slaves or were indentured servants. These were the people who became generations later, DEMOCRATS. They still to this day, practice divide and conquer even inside their own families where normal people love and cherish.
Chauvin was framed. The only question is, whether there was a planned conspiracy that started it.

FTA: “Look at the video. Look at his face, his eyes. It’s the face of a Blokhin, a Mengele, or a Bundy. If that’s your idea of a legitimate officer of the law, then God help you.”
We don’t even need a trial. Look at his face and convict. That’s worse than racism- physical appearance prejudice to the point of incarceration if we don’t like your looks aka you look like a criminal.
We don’t need an NSA either. All we have to do is ask steele to ask his Russian contacts what putin’s plans are.

Where are the "conservative" entrepreneurs peddling "Free Derek Chauvin" t-shirts and posters? Where are the home made lawn signs, ala BLM? Where are the activists threatening hunger strikes. blocking freeways and major intersections, blowing car horns outside the courthouse? You say you want a revolution...

If you fail to condemn this railroading you are endangering every policeman and ultimately your self and your loved ones. But that is not the reason to denounce this inequity. Condemn it because it is wrong. There certainly was no murder or attempted murder. I honestly doubt if there was any crime.

Chauvin will not last a year in jail.
He will be murdered while in jail, and no one will be punished.
You see, MOB wants him DEAD.
MOB needs BLOOD. The more blood, the better.
So Chauvin needs to be dead so no more blacks will be arrested.
Then Antifa and BLM will be free forever.

Dunn is a worthless, ignorant fool.
Chauvin did NOTHING to harm Floyd. Floyd killed Floyd with a drug overdose which triggered his hear attack.

It’s the coming appeals court decisions that will be the bottom line on all that.

The bottom line is that if Floyd had been a white man, and this had gone down exactly the same way, Chauvin would still be a police officer today.

How did this guy ever end up at American Thinker? He should write for The Atlantic or the New York Slimes.

I was not aware JR was so close minded. But he evidently did not write this column based on the facts but personal bias. Too bad as he has entered Never Never Again land.

All that might be true if Chauvin had actually killed GF, but he did not. Therefore, all the pontificating is completely and totally irrelevant.

American Thinker used to be a decent read most of the time. They are solidly in the Weekly Standard wing of Republican thought these days. This author reeks like it might be a nom-de-guerre for Bill Kristol himself.

The author is exactly the kind of RINO we need purged from the party. Chauvin is guilty of nothing more than malicious glaring at cell phone cameras.
