You mean thugs that were swinging knives or pulled out a gun? That's a far cry from an execution buddy but you know that ;)
I Mean the guy who was getting his ID like the officer said and was executed on the spot.
Or the child who was executed within a few seconds of the officer getting out of the car.
Or the guy given a rough ride and who was paralyzed as a result.

You accuse me of retreating, while you copy/paste lines I already answered.
And more, I'd say that a reasonable person isn't one who watches a video, makes assumptions based on it and ignores any more facts that get laid out without the bias of a single camera view. That wouldn't be reasonable at all. Common, enough, though.
Why are you so adverse to facts? I don't see you trying to argue the granular details of the case or even engage at all when I lay out the difference between theory and evidence. You've thrown accusations of intellectual dishonest at me more times than Torm1 posted about space jesus beaming him up to Kolob, and yet I've always laid the foundation of my arguments on every post by looking at the dynamics of each case, examining how the system works and what caused it to go wrong. I don't just go out and scream orange man bad and wield moral superiority as if it can excuse a lack of reasoning. Break the issues down to their components, lay out what the elements mean, draw logical conclusions. I can explain the mechanics of why the jury system is flawed and I can explain the mechanics of why civil liberties get trampled upon by mob mentality and I can explain the mechanics of the cases I bother wasting my time examining. But you can explain... your emotional reaction to a video?
well, logical arguments and critical reasoning aren't persuasive arguments to people guided by prejudice and emotion. If the defense counsel understood that, it would be like Tcock said, Kim Potter would be represented by a black attorney not an old white man blabbing about his forefathers
You dance around the critical issue. Saying many things does not mean you are laying a good foundation. It just means you are saying things.
The jury gets to decide which experts to listen to. The cases you brought up as analogies are poor comparisons. Dred Scott was not on camera living in free territory and if some evidence hadn't gotten dismissed he likely would have gotten off without it going to the supreme court. This isn't a case of activist jurors making an unreasonable decision. It's a case of the jurors valuing some experts over others, and some evidence over others, which is their job. Chauvin getting manslaughter was NOT a close call. Ever. Even including all the evidence. It was always going to happen and it was incredibly obvious the entire way. The fact that you think otherwise shows how tainted your view is, and shows you're just twisting facts, not making an honestly analysis.
