    Yup. I was skeptical about the initial headlines saying "meant to use Taser", but it appears that's the explanation they're running with. Not good.


    Gun and ammunition prices aren't getting better for a long long time.

      Sounds like we need some firearm and ammo subsidies to reduce the cost so that our rights aren't being priced out of reach of many. We also need to government to work on increasing supply.

    If you watch the bodycam video and listen, she definitely thought she had her taser out. Massive eff up by the cop. Lack of training and control in a high stress situation.

      I watched the video twice and couldn't perceive when the shot was actually fired. Not questioning if it was, just surprised it wouldn't be totally obvious.

      Its hard to hear the actual shot, but yoy can hear her yelling "Taser, Taser!" Which is LEO training to let them know to stay off. Its like yelling "CLEAR" when doctors use a defibrillator.

    And now we wait.

    People are predicting things are going to get a bit more sporty than we've seen in the past year.

        I've read legal opinions saying that her comments could throw the entire trial into jeopardy.

      I hope Chauvin is found not guilty. Then I hope the protesters burn Minneapolis to the ground.

      This doesn't mean I want them to burn it to the ground. I only mean, you reap what you sow.

      They deserve what they do to themselves, for being such brainwashed, feckless, moronic pieces of excrement.

        How delicious would it be if a mistrial was declared due to that c unt Waters running her mouth?

          I'm not sure if this is some sort of sick strategy because they already know what the verdict will be, or because they consider it a pander for votes....? I don't understand how they can think this is a long term smart move.

          Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Regardless of the decision made by the jury, there is one true reality, which is that George Floyd was killed at the hands of police."

          Now even the president has weighed in. He left it vague enough to avoid impropriety, but if Trump had said something like this, the media would have been screaming bloody murder about "dog whistles".

          “I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict, which is — I think it’s overwhelming, in my view,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered now, not hearing me say that.”

            Jury was NOT sequestered during trial, they were privy to Maxine Water's comments. They were only sequestered beginning Monday when deliberations began.

          Verdict reached, expected to be announced at 1630 EST, about 15 min from now. The deliberations were very fast. Theres no way hes acquitted, but I get the feeling there will.be some sort of a twist that will be the needed excuse to riot and loot anyway.

                Stay safe everyone.

                Mildly inappropriate tweets about the verdict:

                I'm very afraid of the pro-police conservatives rioting and burning down cities tonight.
                Gotta wait to see how the mail-in jury ballots turn out during the overnight count.

                  I'm still struggling to understand how you can be charged and convicted of the same murder 3 times? Manslaughter and murder 3rd and 2nd. Hopefully it's servers concurrently or else it's definitely not fair.

                  I honestly haven't been following trial and all that.

                  I do wonder though if he got a fair trial? What I mean is what steps were taken to protect the identities of those on jury? If they found him not guilty on anything would a reasonable person think they would face no repercussions from the public in this case?

                  Like I said I didn't follow trial or here the "facts" to the case to make my own conclusion on guilt or Innocence.
