The jury was in CYA mode - COVER YOUR A$$ - with their verdict.
This case has MISTRIAL written all over it.
– The state of Minnesota frikkin SETTLED with the Floyd family PRE TRIAL: this affected the jury;
– Representative Maxine Waters called for VIOLENCE against the community in that area if a verdict was issued which was counter to what she wanted. That is jury tampering.
But hey, it’s Minnesota. This couldn’t be happening to a more well deserved, nicer bunch of Yankees.
The look on Chauvin’s face is one of bored disinterest. His sunglasses are perched on his head and his hands rest in his pocket. He doesn’t seem to notice Floyd at all. The only flicker of emotion on his face is his annoyance at the crowd that has gathered to plead for Floyd’s life.
The late Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel once said, “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”
Wiesel said that to the indifferent person, “his or her neighbor are of no consequence… Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest. Indifference reduces the Other to an abstraction.”
