There's no way it won't escalate now that there's a body count, especially since there's cops included, but I'm still staunchly against the use of military force on our shores. Deal with individual criminals, don't make sweeping policies that catch up a bunch of innocent people and crush liberties for everyone. The worst thing possible to respond with would be some national level responses that interfere with rights and liberties of communities that don't even have riots ongoing in them, and even a proportional response to riots is extremely dangerous. Power used on looters can be power used on anyone else.
There's no such thing as an impartial jury, and even if their were, you won't find one after this. A half decent prosecutor who knows how to appeal to the jury's emotions has it in the bag simply because the cop in question has a history and the video itself is damning. You can argue all you want about how the cop just didn't know how sensitive Floyd was, when there's a video everyone can see of him weakly begging for his life while the cop callously ignores him, no expert witness is getting that cop off. Juries are humans, not computers. Even if you find a bunch of totally impartial people uninfluenced by things like BLM you'll also have to assume they're not a bunch of people out of cop families. That's why if they were even pretending the riots were still about George it'd be ridiculous. As soon as he was fired and arrested and bound for trial, the rest is a foregone conclusion. This guy's reckless and excessively forceful treatment of suspects and criminals finally caught up to him.
