I'm not fully familiar with american justice, but is exposure to video recorded evidence the same as becoming a witness? The difference might seem semantic but it think it can have great repercussions if evidence gets tossed by a judge.
 
Resetera has a thread about Derek Chauvin's sentence after to the death of George Floyd.

It's mostly "GOOD" and "It should have been harsher", but there are plenty of Resetera-grade replies.

Keep in mind, Chauvin got 22.5 years in prison, and the state's usual prison sentence for murder is 10-15 years, according to people in that very thread. SinbadtheSailor still thinks Chauvin was helped by white privilege.

Careful not to offend gay people while you're dunking on a white cop.

He imagines there's a list of "white supremacists" that get pardoned each time a Republican is elected.

And you just know that if we went forward in time 22 years and Chauvin's leaving the jail having served his time, these people would still be after his blood. Well, the ones who haven't taken the rope challenge yet.

I don't know where others on this forum sit regarding George Floyd, But everything I've heard about the case tells me Floyd was a ticking time bomb, and Chauvin just happened to be the man arresting him when he finally went off. I think Chauvin was guilty of manslaughter at worst, and he was railroaded for social justice and to keep the city from being destroyed.

Resetera will never have an ounce of nuance or thought if there's the possibility of a racial hate crime. They'll ignore all the evidence if they have to.

I guess it's not as bad as the life sentence of being a Resetera poster if that can be any silver lining.
 
With Chauvin thing I'm torn at it. Flooyd was a garbage peice of shit human being and I hate how people paint this man as a hero and noble citizen. Well Chauvin did murder a guy in cold blood and has a history of being a corrupt officer. A grey area for me.

Careful, on this forum you'll get dogpiled for doing anything but acting like Chauvin was some angel of a man betrayed by the system. People don't realize they're doing the exact same thing as the idiots treating Floyd like a martyr. They were both assholes. Bring on the mean internet stickers idc.

Yeah I'm starting to realized that. It seems you have to be on the side of Floyd was a angel or Chauvin was an angel. Seems the side of "they were both assholes and I wouldn't be friends with either" seems to be despise by many.

It's the "cold-blooded murder" part that makes you sound like a retard. That's a little more than "they were both assholes."

I thought the prosecution was overly ambitious even going for second degree, but he wasn't even charged with "cold-blooded murder," which would have been first, and would have been premeditated, which this obviously wasn't. Considering this bullshit venue, though, they probably should have just gone ahead and charged him with first degree double ultra murder and asked for the megadeath penalty.

It's fine to just have the opinion that the trash took out the trash.
 
I don't "like" Chauvin nor do I think he acted in a wholly appropriate manner.

But what disturbs me most about "incidents" like this is that they quickly become catalysts to be utilized by the elite in their "reshaping" of society. The trial was a show trial, the verdict a foregone conclusion. Score a million points for the government, megacorps, media, race hustlers, and the surveillance state dedicated to combating "white supremacy."

And the next "Chauvin" is who? Someone breaking up a gun fight? Someone defending a white rape victim?

If idpol leftists had any hard convictions they'd realize they're being played. Virtually all grievances raised by "anti-racists" are "solved" by transferring power away from individuals and to the corporate state.

Don't worry, the well-funded New York activist group Refuse Facsism, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Revolutionary Communist Party of America, is hard at work to find him. They have branches in all 50 states and are ginning up media narratives of protest against all police shootings they can find in the hopes that one sticks.

I don't know if I'd call Bob Avakian's cult "well-funded" or an "activist group" as it makes them sound like a serious organization.

They have a big enough network that they paid 20-50 people to show up to an astroturfed protest in Hawaii, of all places. Not to mention having the clout to get the Gannett news agency to report on it.

We're not really known for protesting over anything that isn't explicitly a Hawaiian issue here.

There are barely any left-wing protests, even of mainstream leftist issues like anti-Iraq War, where they don't have a hand in organizing them, busing people in, etc. Cultists can be remarkably industrious.
