Also I want to hone in on a few things she said:
Quote
2:38- "i hope Derek Chauvin gets the justice he deserves"
3:39 "Everyone agrees that the police officer is wrong and the police officer has been arrested"
9:00 "No one I have spoken to is defending Derek Chauvin, he is getting what's coming to him, ok great"
I'm glad that she felt it important to bring this up because it is an important foundation of this conversation.
She hammers this point, creating the illusion that it is a foregone conclusion. As we know, it is far from that. It is actually one of the central conflicts in the situation.
If the 'protesters' thought that Chauvin would get what's coming to him, then we wouldn't even be in this situation at all. But it's because of situations like Eric Garner and Amadou Diallo that waiting for the verdict is does NOT work.
