If a casino was hosting bets on the outcome of the trial, what odds do you think I could get if I bet on the verdict being 'not guilty'?


Lacking the evidence of the shoulder cams, I can't predict the odds accurately, but based on the evidence we do have, I'd say pretty good, tbh.

What we are seeing isn't the effect of a 'moment something bad happened'. Fellow PARDs have already listed several reasons why people are outraged. I think the moment the police lock up those arresting officers, the effect will be ease of tensions.


That's complete nonsense. "Being outraged" is fine. Going on a crime spree that primarily targets innocent people merely makes these rioters criminals. Not revolutionaries, not people working on behalf of Floyd's "cause". Criminals.

Prosecutor already said there was reason to not press charges.


More information please? Haven't seen any real information yet regarding plans to press charges or refusal to press charges. All I've seen is that the incident is under investigation, and that they'd pulled in investigators from a neutral source to help with the investigation.

what if there are multiple counts and only some of them return guilty? what about a mistrial? are those pushes?

Guilty of murder - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and OR any form of manslaughter including accidental.

yesterday i listened to the scanner for several hours. its anybody's guess based on that. calls werent getting through, many radios seemed to be malfunctioning, cellphones were being used off scanner, etc. so no clue.


I seen a lot of streams of peaceful people standing around in groups keeping a distance from one another wearing masks demanding police accountability.

People keep trying to reframe this all into violent riots and that's just a small subset of things. A target got looted. Apparently a cop started the fire at autozone that made people start going nuts.

The people would try to frame this protest as all rioting definitely have an agenda. If it was all violent riots than peaceful groups of divers people wouldn't be able to stand peacefully in social distance from one another in town centers.

I imagine if you're listening to the scanners you're listening to the police channels. You're listening to people communicate that are at least banally evil enough that they can kill a dude with their hands in their pockets and not really notice.

Can we bet on how much Minneapolis will have to pay out to the family?

I like to feel like a part of something.


which is a spectrum from "reason to not charge immediately, but soon" to "yeah lmao he gettin off"

Do you think that in the future people will look at our criminal Justice system now and talk about it the same way that we talk about the Catholic Church selling indulgences to the wealthy?

tbh just be better buddy. there have been over 400 businesses looted. countless injuries, family homes burned to the ground, and now the two main grocery stores in a food dessert will close for a while and maybe just leave.

there are peaceful demonstrations, see my posts. i called looters bad apples, i praised BLM members shaming looters, etc. doesnt change that the damage here isnt peanuts, its colossal. blacktwitter is going wild saying this is some LA riots type damage and they're "proud" and "impressed".

a single bad apple spoils the barrel, this is more than 1 bad apple. were watching a barrel fall to rot. just dont downplay damage while accusing other of downplaying peace. both are happening, and ones a big problem. not "just a target".
