If the MPD/NG has a week of "riot night practice sessions" leading up to the verdict announcement, it could really stem the tide of what happens when the verdict finally comes. The public will be all "rioted out". Their mana will still be recharging.

I'm one of the 4 votes for 'no' in this pool. And I think my odds of being right have just gone up.

At this point I’m fairly certain there will be riots no matter what happens. Undoubtedly some black will get shot again by policeman. Regardless if justified or unjustified people will riot. Police will be reluctant to respond to calls or just take their time in primarily black neighborhoods and innocent black people are going to be the most negatively

I'm surprised by the amount of people thinking there will be a riot regardless of sentence.

IMO it isn't about whether there's a "riot". It's to what degree. A total acquital would be burning the town down. A 2nd degree murder conviction means a few rowdy people celebrating and getting violent but not mass demonstrations.

you right, let's not split it, it will varies, plus a trash burning down will be zoomed out and described as a riot by this Tucker Carlson.

If there's an acquittal, I might actually join the protests. I'd personally be narrowly satisfied with manslaughter.
