is found lynched in Mobile, Alabama in 1981. Nothing has changed since then regarding the killing of Black men and women. The only thing new is that the klan members in the police force are now using guns and even shooting Black men in their backs.
Look at what the insurrectionists/white supremacists did on January 6! Trump managed to divide America across race. I hope karma gets that POS. Am not a betting person but Chauvin will be found not guilty and that would be a travesty. How on earth could Chauvins lawyers even pretend to claim that he was trying to do resuscitation to Mr. Floyd when he had his knee on his neck for so long with his hand in his pocket posing for the camera. Even in the movies, no cop arrests a person with his/her hand in their pockets. There never was and never will be justice for minorities, sadly, remember Rodney King and the many men and women after him.
Being Black in the US is a challenge to survive. The cops even shoot you in your own home, which is your safe haven, where else can you be safe? President Biden is trying his best to reunite the country but the turtle plans to oppose his efforts just like he did former President Obama.
End of rant.

(102,197 posts)with so many senior police officials testifying against him and of course both the strength of the medical expert consensus, the witness testimony and most of all, the VIDEO... I am hopeful. Not naive', but hopeful.
It should never take this much to convict these racist murderers, but a conviction here will be a much-needed start.
