Prediction: there will be rioting before the trial ends.

Like eagles fans when their team wins the superbowl?

they built walls around the courthouse. why is this? are the protesters now going to be deemed “domestic terrorists” by the usual suspects (mainstream media and swamp-demon politicians)

Right-wingers: unless the cop is lynched on national television, the darkies will protest and riot
Left-wingers: if this guy gets off of a murder charge it's just evidence of our white supremacist system

Me, over in the corner: the obvious injustice of police officers getting so much leeway is bound to result in bad outcomes, which result in protests/riots, so the foremost aim of anyone who cares about injustice is to change laws

You can change the laws all you want. Its obvious that those who are tasked with their enforcement dont care about them.

The prosecutor in Ferguson admitted in public he intentionally threw the case. The members of the gramd jury said it was the only cass that day that the prosecutor didnt directly ask for charges.

If he's acquitted, there will be so much fiery but mostly peaceful protesting that Minneapolis turns into a smoldering crater.

They deserve it.

Is it more populist to criticize the elites who may not be critical enough of the disenfranchised people protesting, or to sympathize with the disenfranchised people protesting?

This is mostly a rhetorical question.

This is clearly an issue where left-wing and right-wing populists will come out on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Left-wing populists: the (economic and justice) system is obviously rotten to the core, set up to keep a racialized underclass down and protect the interests and the power of the rich.
Right-wing populists: the (media and political) system is obviously rotten to the core, deliberately stoking racial tension and animosity to protect the interests and the power of the rich.



If there's a full acquittal, they will indeed deserve what's coming for them. Given the very unambiguous evidence, I'd be shocked if Chauvin wasnt convicted for at least lower-degree murder.

I thought walls didn't work 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔



Objectively wrong.

Mayors need to grow the fuck up and pull out the water cannons.
