law and injustice

[MaryL]

The conviction of "murder" of Derek Chauvin, perhaps the biggest example of how broken our justice system is. Um, Geo, Floyd died from fentanyl induced hypoxia, not so much the knee on the neck...The coroner in that case already knew that .Floyd couldn't breath alright, because Fentanyl causes does that. This is more like lets appease blacks and it might stop rioting...

At least you believe that.

At least you believe that.

Thanks. I rather take facts over political trends or popular consensus.

Well, I remember injustices, and it they won't be fixed by perpetuating more of them. Derek Chauvin's conviction of murder won't bring Emmit Till back to life anymore than convicting an innocent white cop of a black man's fentanyl overdose fixes poor black culture. Just blame everyone else and kick the proverbial can down the road.

Derek was overcharged. HE had screwed up and deserves some time behind bars but doesn't deserve second degree because he didn't intend to do it and floyd was messed up on drugs.

I don't believe it is a injustice to enforce the law equally on people of color. Break the law and you deserve to be arrested.
