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.
